Oh hush. If you had one that didn't render you completely unable to function and needed something another had that would die as a result of not your t...
The statement is proven accurate in a subjective way at least. In the 1600s "space travel is not possible" was a fact- subjectively. When it's dark wh...
If that power is held what's stopping that from happening. Couldn't be more than ignorance or laziness. Self indulgence and realizing greatness really...
What I was going to say (love your name btw, not sure why but it brings me great joy whenever I see it) is to the casual onlooker it doesn't make a wh...
Not at all. I'm saying we don't have to because it's already been done. Is it perfect? Not by far. Is it better than earlier systems factoring in the ...
To respond to the title, probably enough people asking if I strike you and you feel pain, and you would ask me or perhaps act in order for me to stop,...
Assuming the philosopher is employed as a philosopher say in a setting with other philosophers and the entrepreneur is stupidly wealthy... you can inv...
Well rest assured both religion, science, and history reach a single conclusion that cannot be avoided. The planet, society, or "the world" can end in...
Not exactly my point and though I wouldn't say so it's not like I could or even would disprove it. I'd instead assert there is a unique quality about ...
Perhaps the only answer would be "nothing". Best keep that under wraps though. I often wonder if the majority of the thinking world ever starts thinki...
If only it were just my own. You feed a cat or dog wet food they often won't easily go back to dry. Unless they're starving of course. Folks are the s...
Say I need a cave to sleep in so I don't get soaked and can have a fire that lasts during a storm so I don't succumb to exposure or hypothermia. My ca...
Sheer number. Free press. Open society. Gunzz. Though I'm hesitant to admit, instant online communication and sharing. Probably the most important fac...
Dang. This is a neat topic. Curious as to what both debaters think about the following statements. As a child, pain is objectively bad. So is sufferin...
Information seems like it may or may not have any intrinsic value unless there is something to perceive or interpret it. DNA has information. Morse co...
But why isn't there an update when a new shout is posted across the site that can be read by whoevers on wherever they're at? That's... whatever the o...
Try reading it aloud or perhaps if it's just a casual copy of a book you own- consider highlighting or bookmarking pages that really speak to you. Phi...
I think the problem would be if the teletransporter had a glitch and spat out two copies of you at once. Lol. Now that's a debate. Presumably the neur...
Just as it is to stop people from competing. Especially when money (resources) or women are involved. It's just human nature. Two men work at a data p...
Fan of subjectivism, basically. A kind of moral solipsism, if you will. I think contentness is a far more realistic goal in life than bliss, especiall...
Well considering all it did to ensure his residence and very existence and all it does toward his continued survival and security doing so when of sou...
Everything we call amazing today is because it was thought of as impossible at one point or otherwise embodies some sort of rarity. Otherwise it would...
And thanks to those who lived there now we can. Not a necessity now sure, but there's something to be said about the life, society, and culture of a p...
"Reality" as we believe we know it, is dynamic, in constant fluctuation, and is therefore unknowable. Circumstance is what we often mistake it for. An...
How about just 50 then. Your avatar suggests there's something you value about that time. Another reason could be as far as why entrepreneurship has d...
I don't think you misunderstood anything it's just called reading some dude's opinion and finding it to not make much sense. lol. Let's try to answer ...
Good points made in the thread already. It's a matter of subjective views on an ideal that should be objective. Seems to me there's two groups of peop...
You can't know what is fiction without knowing what is fact. So what is fact? If there are none, how can we be sure fiction even exists? Safe word her...
Perhaps it's not overpopulation in and of itself.. but of those who are unable to offer a humane solution ie. technology either by super efficiency in...
So is it the thought that counts, basically? Pretty much summed it up. Depends. lol I'm sure we could all think of a thousand scenarios where one view...
Visually or logically? There's a distinction. Perhaps not a great one. Would seem to me the mind seems to prefer complete shapes mixed with open accen...
That it knows how to turn minerals into circuitry, at least. Most civilizations are diverse, just because someone from somewhere did a thing doesn't n...
Show me something that I cannot call nothing and believe it as such. For that matter, show me nothing that I cannot call something. A non-reply could ...
Lots of people do lots of things for lots of reasons. Usually it's because they either have seen both society and culture both with and without faith....
Can't help but want to label this as a good and productive thread. Even though some concepts, unbeknownst to the purveyor, can have insidious qualitie...
Erm.. https://youtu.be/cQ54GDm1eL0 Little late for that. In a way people know this. You don't walk out from the theater after seeing a superhero or an...
Society of monks, hermits, or peoples who otherwise avoid eachother for whatever reason. Or perhaps, the go to example, a society of open slavery are ...
