You're confident in its value, correct? Why not just turn it into cash then. Shouldn't be a big deal.

War? No it's a debate. To some perhaps it is. You see something dead, therefore it is. Which even if refuted still elevates us only slightly over what...

Anything can become corrupted. The idea of an eternal and omnipresent accountability is exactly that. Who do you or did you value or look up most to i...

It doesn't really matter now because it really didn't matter then. I mean. It did. The entirety of humanity, society, and civilization is captained by...
July 06, 2020 at 09:49
So basically where you decide to believe the idea maybe you don't know what you're doing or basically that yes doing things purported to cause harm do...
July 05, 2020 at 20:49
Lot of unpacking to do first and foremost as far as your OP. Passive activities or casual hobbies that degenerate or increase in an observable way fac...
July 05, 2020 at 19:52
While the place is in no high ground to shoot down short posts.. yeah. Really ought to expand on whatever more deeply. Learn to use non specific metap...

What was it about? Did you read... the whatever. It's not whatever you know.
July 05, 2020 at 18:20
It's about what you give up and what concepts and values that made you the happiest, perhaps as early as you can remember, that you denied to others t...

If such a thing can be done the person would merely be oppressing an equal or inferior even. I thought that was pointless? Or bad?
July 05, 2020 at 17:47
Wrong planet? Lol. Happens. :grin:
July 05, 2020 at 17:33
Correct. That would be popularity. And depending on the current society could be something very terrible and frankly undesirable. It just seems we're ...
July 05, 2020 at 11:17
No need. Well, perhaps append it (edit and write further). Generally I like to post in a mindset that would (hopefully) benefit or at least entertain ...
July 05, 2020 at 09:37
Eh. Is what you understand to be close and what is far respectively closer and/or further. Morality can be defined. That is a consensus can be reached...
July 05, 2020 at 09:15
Your alleged perception of non-existence was self determined by your own requiem for validation by rather as a result or non-result of others long ago...
July 05, 2020 at 08:34
Why would people watch something they didn't enjoy, tolerate, or that otherwise doesn't oppose their own complacency and ingrained sense of what is an...
July 05, 2020 at 07:46
So basically good enough being good enough. To most. Sure. Right? I mean you don't typically use mathematics for no reason there generally is a precis...
July 05, 2020 at 05:00
Nah man. Gotta turn it into a 9 page discussion about semantics drenched in profanity and emotion all while eluding the point. Haven't you learned any...
July 05, 2020 at 03:35
Not sure. Probably to present to the viewer the horrors and miseries of the world just enough so they can forget about their own for a while, while st...
July 05, 2020 at 03:33
Now perhaps... and it still would be unthinkable to present to a truly innocent man in contrast to a nearly equally indeterminate normal sentence.. bu...
July 04, 2020 at 14:33
Goes back to the capital punishment argument(s). One need only look at your avatar and see a famous case. Hm. Below this post too. Even today, not qui...
July 04, 2020 at 14:00
It's a political organization. And also could easily be bait and switch. You mention one thing decent then throw in foreign destabilization tactics ex...
July 04, 2020 at 12:46
It's an interesting and quite relevant argument. Finding out there's a door in a room full of complex puzzles you previously thought you were trapped ...
July 04, 2020 at 11:49
Erm.. Whoa, like ten different random assertions there. Not random of course. Mainstream belief, which is dynamic and always changing. You even say yo...
July 04, 2020 at 10:40
Was going to make a thread about this as far as the idea as it really wouldn't be a "feature" that could carry over to other forums generally or other...
July 04, 2020 at 10:14
Yes. Depends on the thing obviously. Life and reality is dynamic. Defining a thing is easy. Placating the stubborn is not. Nor is it terribly relevant...
July 04, 2020 at 09:31
Wouldn't poetry be a product of Creativity? Also, Pillars of Humanity as in generally not found elsewhere or?
July 04, 2020 at 01:08
Where does this stuff even come from? Just the other day you had a black athlete saying he wants 20 million dollars a year or "he ain't playing". I me...
July 02, 2020 at 13:21
Sure. Obviously if that involves another person you should probably get their consent first. Now, if you are unable to provide for your haphazard crea...

No one wants to complain about someone else who's drinking from a cup we all have.
June 30, 2020 at 10:04
Chemical interaction to stimuli is not "consciousness". You could say anything theoretically but until you show me one.. It does and it doesn't. Obvio...
June 30, 2020 at 08:01
So basically we're f'd :lol: I mean. Why did you become a philosopher. Because the majority thoughtstream "did it" for you? Eh. Have faith. Use your t...
June 30, 2020 at 07:18
Probably the most humane way to address overpopulation is simply honesty and truth. You start out with enough to survive, then are shown, the only way...
June 30, 2020 at 04:35
There's all this talk about the rich but people need to ask themself would they really want to live in a world where nothing they can ever do will eve...
June 30, 2020 at 04:18
And I'm saying it's happened before and will happen again. Perhaps we are in a relatively unique plateau of innovation contrasted to perceived entiret...
June 29, 2020 at 04:19
Logic is consistant. Sense is unambiguous "objectively" using that danger word. Yes, theoretically once you know all there is to know, there will be n...
June 29, 2020 at 04:01
That what's all over? Innovation, invention, that "human spirit of ingenuity"? You can Google (I am unable to list them at present) all the jobs that ...
June 29, 2020 at 03:40
Destruction, strife, etc. Through all the actualizations you mentioned. We produce other items as well. You can pay for an idea in acknowledgement, ad...
June 29, 2020 at 02:42
Certainly not anything you described. Been happening for a long, long time. I don't think this question needs to be answered with much detail other th...
June 29, 2020 at 02:24
I dunno. Just declare some more facts on a whim until there is. I mean really? :lol: Really though the word is discernment. Rationality separates the ...

If only this discussion was posted as a Question...

Semantics. You could say fun or love doesn't exist but is a biologic function of.. yadda yadda to prolong and reward survival and/or biologically enri...

Great. A new theory. A hypothesis must be formed. I'll supply the animal.
June 28, 2020 at 14:18
It's a curse. A plague. Like the Black Death. The sooner we realize this the sooner it can be rid off. Thoroughly earned mind you. Still, easily rid o...

The past cannot be changed (we'll leave it at that) rather your not acceptance but.. realization of it and an imagined future that is not already incr...

Before I suggest it, what do you think of the idea of the ability to view a thread sorted by "best posts" independent of any sort of rating system tha...
June 28, 2020 at 02:06
How so? Why?
June 28, 2020 at 01:48
To define what is undefined or rather poorly defined. To see what definition has more weight or even simply that those perceived as having less actual...
June 28, 2020 at 00:27
I suppose you could say I'm not quite (or perhaps even at all) hitting the nail on the head. However, the speed of light is not as mystical as you say...
June 28, 2020 at 00:05
Imagine if you were a snail. At the speed of an elderly woman walking down Main Street with a cane, the same is true. In a way. Yes?
