So like an animal, an unintelligent person, or someone gripped by psychosis. Hey if any of these things are 'yourself' forgetting sounds like a servic...
Confirmation bias? Say if you or I became fixated with a common object say blue jeans or red cars, we'd suddenly begin to notice them more. There is a...
Great video I enjoyed watching a while back. Entertaining, informative, and brings up a few points worthy of discussion. https://youtu.be/bHw4MMEnmpc ...
Whoops. Forgot to mention the secondary words must sound identical to the base word when pronounced together and must be used sequentially one after t...
Until thy work is done. :D Not sure but wouldn't this have just been a "9, 7, 8, etc." countdown at best with a maximum of 8 contributions? Suppose te...
What is the other possibility aside from coincidence? Reminds me of the Global Consciousness Project. If you heard about a certain thing that means it...
Well relying solely on the notion of biology it would be little more than glorified pleasure chasing robed in psuedo-intellectual grandeur. A glorifie...
Well, a qualified mental health professional if nobody else. :D I don't get it. Don't get me wrong as analytical as I try to be things can and do go o...
Let's address the semantics first. 'Mine' is a linguistically relative term. Your arm is your arm and my arm is my arm both of which can be referred t...
Probably just having a bad day? :/ Alcohol or something? As a theologist many religions do allude to the idea this is either a 'fallen world' or that ...
But did they not? Nothing relinquishes ones ego than being cripplingly ill next to another on the doorsteps of the Great Equalizer that is death. We a...
So that takes us up from 50% to 75%? Was there not already a 100% chance of this with only X? Or perhaps that's your point. Hm. Well a perception is a...
But is a reflection of ones conciousness necessarily philosophy? I could be young and never question anything with my deepest thoughts being little mo...
Let's start with what isn't philosophy. Explicit math, scientific or otherwise codified law to name a few. Perhaps philosophy is what happens when unb...
Same as an unloving one you could assume. Per doctrine, doubt it's something that could ever be adequately understood. Always existed. As far as time ...
Human conciousness vs. animal conciousness. Allegedly, the following is true. Elephants mourn their dead. Caged dogs about to be slaughtered that witn...
Story of Cronus comes to mind. Or, iRobot. You can either control your creation or it will inevitably control you. Beyond that depends how dystopian y...
This excludes unintentional fallacies then? How so? Assuming somehow I know for an absolute fact there is an afterlife and say 'there isn't' and someo...
What couldn't this mean. Right could mean moral thus opening a neverending discussion on ethics. It could mean solving a question or demystifying an i...
Ask yourself this. What would be more ethical for humans? Living in a civilized society or living as animals do? Following the mentioned premise of bi...
Let's group together traditional medicinal drugs prescribed by an authorized health professional to help with an ailment and recreational drugs taken ...
Unless those big, bad black holes aren't so ominous after all. One theory goes "what is a black hole in this universe sucking matter in, is a white ho...
Probable odds. People don't like having their beliefs questioned. Then or now. As for the staple phrase and resulting paradox. Perhaps it was esoteric...
Depends. Is this matter of any relevance or importance to us? Assuming it is and we are one of the relevant parties or stakeholders. Is what could be ...
A gun meaning a firearm. A rational, moderate would assume one small enough to be carried by an individual. So. A handheld instrument capable of firin...
What I meant to suggest, and solely for the sake of argument, was as relateable as Jesus was, it may have just been an exclamation. If you and I are s...
What would you say to this. A major religious institute dictates the following as far as discussing philosophy. "A collective of higher Learning and T...
Ah, mysticism. Where to begin. Suppose I'd start by telling a bit about my own beliefs then continue to my understanding of the concept more broadly. ...
Yes because you were there right. Witnessed it all first hand or something? It was no joy. But, allegedly, it happened. Something I was told was there...
Oh there most certainly was. The entire society and civilization was besieged and destroyed. Just about 500 years later to the date. Give or take some...
That's an assertion, depending on interpretation, that is not accepted across the board denomination-wise. Beyond that is who or whatever referred to ...
Perhaps but it doesn't necessarily have to be all that you've entailed. From my understanding of solipsism, it seems like a rational fallback point in...
Well a mind is a terrible thing to waste so I'll leave out one idea. If you got the internet/TV however there's really no shortage of things to learn/...
I'd say it's not so much that there aren't, simply they are different across the animal kingdom and can be easily circumvented or made irrelevant. Hum...
My view. Correct me at anytime if inaccurate. USA Natural rights are life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. All capitalized actually. Perhaps merely...
Hm. That's much more thorough than my prior understanding of it ie. "If a thing seems either more or less likely than it probably is." Not flawless in...
Pretty spot on definition in my book. Pretending I didn't read that, I'd have said .. any observable and intentional arrangement of matter not done so...
Seems to me like all this either is, or is being taken as, more of a semantic argument. Things being relative an obligation is something you either mu...
He appeals to the masses. Simple. Relateable. Speaks his mind. And yes nods to the relevant majority. Somehow all while being a billionaire real estat...
As open as you feel the need to be. It's a bodily function. As you said like eating, sleeping, or defecating. It's not really interesting to a second ...
Other than the fact it's not real? People can hack smartcars and pacemakers already. Let's assume it cannot be and yes it's just constant pleasure. Wo...
The idea would be one's real and one's not. Of course, you'd have to define real. Oh, well, if you can't think of any. Hm .. can't quite find an emoti...
Probably. Or this sentence. You either do something or you don't. Much more to it obviously. Some would say there is free will and there is best will....
Hm. Yeah. I suppose if you're bungee jumping a harness is good too. Never heard that explicit depiction before got to say. You got to remember you're ...
New as in never thought of before? Probably not too many. As to the second question not everyone lives in a modern, connected world. History repeats i...
Anytime. I love this kind of stuff. Honestly I had to Google 'Nicene creed' to learn what exactly it was. Was raised Baptist myself. Seeing as it was ...
Pain. Wanting it to end. Not complicated really. Some do have mental complexes that exasperate the problem. Of course others have just been dealt a ho...
