Outlander

Ok? There's a trash can in the place I dwell, somewhere. I think. I don't shove my head into it and jam my arms into it and be like "oh this is gross ...

You guys, I found the solution! You have a New Category that is automatically applied to certain posters: new accounts or those rated as such and eith...

I disagree I mean if it weren't for idiocy and ignorance I don't think I would have ever wanted to do anything in life other than just sit there and b...

Ah. This discussion is just full of surprises. :razz:

Accountability and judgement. To be worldly. Or, to be spiritual. The soul. Fate itself. Basically. What isn't? To be both or even purely sociological...

It could. Neither intentionally nor unintentionally but rather as the result of an algorithm programmed by logic or otherwise "to be logical". But. If...

Honestly the fact that this forum is ad free really should mean something. I mean, unless the guy is loaded or something that fact really is quite coo...

I'm actually really glad this is a thread we can all see, criticize, and participate in as opposed to a PM!

I've asked on several occasions for people in threads about really complex ideas to "simplify", "break it down a bit", or if they could "put it in lay...

Yeah, sure. If I owned this site I'd do things differently. I mean. Not by much. Not really. Just add more. I am no esteemed philosopher or scientist ...

Perhaps... and this is an idea worthy of it's own thread. There should be a section on this site somewhat independent of the forums yet connected. Som...

Warning: The discussion unfolding needs its own thread.

Philosophy of Religion can encompass fields that atheists may enjoy and even support, essentially it's positive (or negative) effects on society, psyc...

While eager and genuinely encouraging to see. It may not always be so simple. Nor should it be. When there is no room for doubt there is no room for f...

Right. And Buddhism instills contentness with only the essential. Food, water, shelter, etc. I am skeptical of Buddhism as some define it but there ar...

How many philosophers were content with their lives and the world before pursuing the art? How many athiest-leaning philosophers would unwarrantedly s...

I'd like to add maybe either there can be two or more types of accounts with varying restrictions. No not everyone you will come across here will be a...

Being black? They should. I'd be hard pressed to run into someone who doesn't know about slavery. Female? Depends I guess. Personally I'd always hire ...

I mentioned how it should. What hurts you and why? Empathy is the cure for the cancer that is indifference. The "others" are anyone not part of the af...

We are born enslaved. To helplessness and ignorance. Which dissipates some, usually. Beyond that there is hunger, thirst, exposure, injury, disease, a...

There is a point the OP makes that should not be ignored. We know what we know because we think what we think. Slaves (which were as diverse as the da...

So essentially, ignorance is bliss? No squirrels for example don't have to worry about being bullied in school or struggling to pay rent. They have to...

Worship thread. Be like me posting about how God is real and wonderful on a religious forum. What are you asking? An opposing argument or debate? Sure...

What does anything require to exist. I don't know or ever personally witnessed 7 billion people. Doesn't mean they don't. Perhaps this is a non answer...

Perhaps. If "my" kid was switched at birth.. well, you can see from that as I wouldn't know it's psychological more than anything. Yes? Physiological,...

People and their freaking kids. There should be, simply because there is, nothing special about their own child compared to a neighbors or even some k...

They're people. Some are horrible. Yet we don't condemn all people as a result. Regardless the sentiment and fact the incident behind it is open and a...

Any theory stated exists. Sufficiently conforms with scientific law enough at least to the person asked, well, we await the answer.

So anything experienced is an experience. The self is an experience and does not exist. So experiences do not exist independent of subjective observat...

I think a better question is does systemic racism exist in countries or systems with a racial majority? I'd say probably. People are people they just ...

Do you believe your own judgement? Then you believe in your understanding of logic.

Aw, man. He was just saying your argument was bad and making a joke about how any evidence to the contrary to that is cheap. You didn't have to go and...

Unique risks. Using available logic it may be hard to rationalize why I'd rather be able to be killed by a knife or bullet or my heart otherwise stopp...

You made four bizarre claims. Prove each of them.

What is the value of your service if only you can perform it and I need it? Well, it depends how badly I need it. What is the value if everyone in the...

Elaborate.

No but they have a list. Of all of them. Make sure you find the "list" page. And it should, being unique and memorable enough to you, be familiar. And...

So. I dunno maybe you could web search Greek goddesses on Wikipedia and if you recall the name, either go from there or post it here and shoot I'd giv...

OP, hi. Could you maybe simplify all that for us simple or otherwise "tired" folk. The whole idea of the universe beyond planets, humans, or life itse...

It's a larger concept, guy. Religion and evolution are just the circumstantial parameters of the thread. What can be or rather has been proven (becaus...

Hm. Again the name of the divine figure you said was in one of the titles? Do you remember that? Was she Roman, Greek.. what? If you know that you can...

Try books.google.com the more specific and most importantly unique words you remember the better. It was a physical book? Do you remember how it looke...

Alright alright. We'll put a pin in this for later. Though, I can reject ones specific definition of law and order without rejecting law and order. Ag...

Perhaps someone may know it off the top of their head. Do you recall the name of the diety? From which period they were from at least? If it's importa...

In a modern microscale it can be proven. Genetic variance. Perhaps a particular variance makes you smarter, stronger, or just more attractive. It give...

If they seem to be doing something that would warrant an accountable? "system" from "blowing them up" .. I'd question your understanding of the word "...

Stuff like this post is what I mean as far as "don't you think it all fits together a little too well?" https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comm...

I think the argument in the OP needs to be defined more precisely or simply. It's something alone the lines of "God more than likely exists because XY...

I sincerely hope you're kidding.

Sounds a bit like world peace then. Religion could mean anything. From Zen Bhuddism or contentness with nothing non essential to empire building. The ...
