Very well. QM: If I don't observe my bank balance for years meanwhile spending and earning at largely variable rates each. (ie if I add a huge amount ...
Agreed. However I don't ascribe fully to either consequantialism or deontological ethics. I regard both as important and required in balanced consider...
I agree. Not sure if everyone is equally as stupid as one another. I think some people are more clued in, and adaptable thus. Is intelligence not the ...
Nah I get it. I'm on board. Based on how my own logic follows ideas I can totally see where you coming from. To me it's sensible and on the right trac...
Hey Einstein didn't have a degree in physics when he came up with his ideas. He worked as a clerk in a patent office in Switzerland. All great and inn...
Those that truly don't want to be here are in the active process of suicide. A state that doesn't last very long as it is either successful or failed ...
And I'm sure you will elucidate an explanation for that in time. I myself am not as well versed on those particular specifics of quantum mechanics. So...
There is such a system. Demonstration. Trial and error and the lasting impacts of that outcome on you (guilt, shame, pride, contentment) whatever the ...
That's because a photon travelling at the speed of light is pure potential energy. It is change itself. The ability to do work on its surroundings. It...
Like a helix? Like the fundamental code at the basis of our living existence. Lol. I think evolution mimics the form of its underlying rules, as fract...
Oh please. Literally every answer begs another question. All of them. How then is that a useful basis for your argument against Why is the sky blue, b...
We have those different descriptions. Relativity and quantum physics. They work on premises not the same as materialist/mechanistic physics. (newtonia...
What is physical is not just dealt with by physics though is it? What is physical - the reality we live in and its true nature whatever that may be, i...
Neither am I. And that's the kernel that vegans hang their argument on. That we treat animals as objects and don't care for the fact that they're livi...
You're right it isn't available to the majority. But what if at a butcher you had a holding pen. And had to kill the animal yourself. The butcher woul...
Yes I agree. I think it is a battlefront between opposition that occurs on multiple levels (fractals). Both within us down to our most basic instincts...
I mentioned both the quality and quantity quite clearly and simply in the statement. The quality is "least harm/or most" good" and the quantity is "gr...
Well, suffering in modération can lead to post-traumatic growth. People coin it "character building", improved resilience. Which is a good thing. Espe...
No mere intention doesn't make any following act automatically justifiable. Obviously. Intention is about the end goal - an ideal - not how to get the...
I understand what you mean in that we know ourselves through our interactions with others. We find our own identity through its relativity to the iden...
It may confuse, yes indeed, but I guess that is simply a failure of mine to impart what I mean clearly and concisely. All I can do is reconsider, and ...
Well they managed to raise their own daughters and sons. So if a mother thinks she turned out okay some of that is at the very least a credit to their...
For me a game is something that doesn't have actual real life consequences. It is a roleplay. In that way harm can be exercised without realising actu...
I would call it preservation of one's/a groups welfare when faced with someone insidiously caustic. If a member of my familys only source of pleasure ...
Exactly. The experience of suffering is inherently a logical reason not to continue it. Harm is a reason not to harm. If you have empathy that is. If ...
There definitely is. Moral claim: "I wish to cause the least harm to the greatest number of people possible". What is wrong with that moral claim? The...
How about if we rephrase it as what would you call a household where everybody does what the head figure wants or face being exiled, told to leave and...
My issue is that if anarchy is to take down government (the ruler) what does an anarchist suggest replacing it with? The anarchist themselves? Is that...
Ah yes the heavy burden of definitions is upon us once again. So easy to assume I'm explaining how I define something comprehensively verses what one ...
How is it a false dichotomy and a reification fallacy simultaneously? That's a contradiction. Reification fallacy is the inappropriate concretising of...
I agree. Every thought leads to a questions. Every question leads to an answer, or multiple answers (some less plausible perhaps, some more so). But t...
I don't think the thinker creates thoughts out of nothing. The thinker doesn't live in a sensory deprivation tank for their entire life unaware of any...
Because politicians are under intense scrutiny, public opinion/outcry, get lambasted by the media, by the courts etc if they write down or suggest any...
You cant find a satisfactory answer because you've used a circular definition: "Society" is created/the product of mutually agreed laws/order. Society...
I think what they mean is that if you don't standardise the passage of time. By that I mean give it an arbitrary discrete measurement - a finite unit ...
And yet they exist. Here on this page. And in both our minds. How is that so? They don't have to be valued to exist. If you don't value another's beli...
I didn't reference "nothingness" I referenced "absence and potential/possibility to be". Nothing doesn't exist without something - its opposite. So be...
Witches similarly are fine provided they don't do any work. However such a belief lead as we know well to a lot of burning women (work done). A belief...
Yup. "absence of said human/ car". The opposite is the lack thereof in the material world. The only other possibility of its existence then being with...
Well I think a grandma has something no book or information source or technology has, and that's personalised/individual knowledge of, and care for, t...
Time is not physical in the "material" sense. You can't point to it, pick it up, say what colour it is etc, yet it allows for "stuff to be done". We r...
Because they are neccesary/symbiotic/complimentary to one another. Materialism would be meaningless without Immaterialism and vice versa. They context...
But do we not kill more animals through the easily justified demand of conveniently buying a pack of burgers say, in the supermarket. We would not eat...
I agree I think killing your own food is a sad but intimate and important moment between you and the animal and ideally would not be conveniently igno...
I didn't say that. I said they can't be detected simultaneously. It can be detected by science but at the detriment to other certainties, which themes...
I think it exists within the universe but obeys the law of uncertainty. Heisenbergs uncertainty principle. Not all information in a system can be know...
Just a dualist. Between the material and immaterial. Pan psychism is its own whole rabbit hole. I just think the mimd and the material exist not in op...
