This shows exceptional strength and will on his part. I also agree that the internal mind can highly mismatch external reality without there being a b...

It’s not beside the point in the sense that you are defining a “person” But then let’s remove all the limiting factors of human nature/ the conditions...

Exactly! This I agree with in entirety

Interesting. I agree in the idea that self awareness isn’t specific to the ego - the point of awareness/ body mind essentially the person. For example...

Hmm with all the technological and scientific advancement possible I still don’t think this means ultimate paradise. The creator of such things (human...

My issue with the idea of a god in the form of human is the human capacity cannot meet these demands: when we define a human we restrict our concept b...

I wish to go on for what is perhaps a very Logical and statistical basis leaving meaning nd purpose and sentiment aside. I wish to live my life becaus...

Interesting. What about in the case of words that denote undefinable thing like “abstraction”, “unknown” or “undefinable” and “mysterious” “ambiguous”...

How can one emphatically disagree with a question. I asked a question and you replied I disagree. Furthermore you assume that everyone’s perception is...

In some philosophy’s and ways of life this is the case. Some would argue that to exist doesn’t hinge on whether you understand why or how - in the sam...

systems cannot be independent and fully isolated form one another. All information must be connected - there cannot be a lack of continuity between in...

this is the proverbially “I”. We are all “I”. That is what we have in common but the irony is that this “I” is always explicit to me, to you and to th...

it is worthy to note that as humans - a contingent entity of the chain we are explaining or require explanation of our contingency with reference to t...

Haha interesting. Although I somewhat tend toward the idea that “we are what we take from a reading”... the same book does not invoke the same insight...

It’s perfectly fine to be a “friendless loner”. It simply means that assuming you are philosophising or otherwise using your solitude constructively y...

I am very inclined to agree with pretty much all of what you said. I feel love is not even just “putting others before yourself” as you are equally wo...

If this is love then while I can say I have tasted it, I have a lot of work to do. My work is cut out for me :p

I don’t ask for any purpose of my own. My relationship with the concept of love is mine alone :) I ask because I’m curious to know what other people f...

Hold up haha. I don’t think it’s fair to say you cannot be in awe of something without it being explicable. That itself is erroneous. I’m frequently a...

This is a very clever point and I’m inclined to agree that perhaps it’s illusory to associate it with time keeping. The real question would then be wh...

Wow how peculiar... genetic predisposition perhaps? Like “reflexes” That developed over many generations of inheritance of the relevant genes?

I believe this is the “fractional effect” of lifespan - each year becomes a smaller fraction of the whole as time progresses. For a one year old one y...

Perhaps but it doesn’t negate the incredible Automatic calculating ability of the Mind without conscious intention

While I think that yes definitely there is a correlation between oxytocin concentration and “bonding” or “affection” based behaviour that has resulted...

Agreed. This comes back to the nature of fundamental phenomena, whether one subscribes to a dualist or monist philosophy, science has shown that energ...

Indeed, it is essential that children feel they belong and are deserving of the life given to them. If they are not then it is the responsibility of s...

No because this is a question of the origin of the intention to punish. If a parent punishes out of loathing it is toxic but if they punish out of pro...

I feel this has a very strong message. That being that one cannot know piety without knowing mischievousness/rebellion. In a process by where you elec...

For the fulfilment of your three prerequisites of god i point to energy. Energy is an illusive substance. It is omnipresent because energy is Matter (...

is energy material? Are conscious concepts material? Is experience of the material material? This is the metaphysics of reality. What is the material ...

What about self destructive states of mind where pain and suffering is attributed the pleasureful condition/ target of achievement. For the sadist or ...

I read an excellent excerpt on “the point” of things. See the thing we must remember is like in geometry a “point” Is only ever relative. What is the ...

Haha so the Spaniards have a sense of humour then :P

Yeah I suppose you’re right. It’s for their own good at the end of the day better to be punished by a parent early than the law later

I would disagree on the simply notion that to treat the perverse with perverse methodology only teaches them what they already know. If we punish thos...

very true. But what if we consider nurture is a product of previous nature and nature evolves... then is it not simply a question of just nature but o...

for me philosophy is an endless endeavour because it is an attempt of a system to understand a system that it is inherently born of. In this way i mea...

Do you really believe so? Would it not make sense that people are more likely neither good nor bad when uneducated as to the meaning of both in a soci...

this is very A astute Insight. We could consider the infant as a baseline (undifferentiated) and so really it’s the circumstances both a). Faced by an...

that’s a very interesting analogy I didn’t think of it this way. Well I for one would be equally pleased by the greedy man who turns against his ways ...

Well if we leave strict definitions aside for a moment and go on the general qualities and sentiment of a “nation” then I would be inclined to believe...

Absolutely it runs along the lines of “one mans rubbish is another’s treasure.” With respect to “popular art” I would imagine it is that which has the...

Art is the invocation of the unexpected. Good art is that which enshrines an original perspective. You can take the Mona Lisa and paint it in an ident...

Change dictates that novelty must always exist. Consider yourself as a prime example. The insights and awareness of each individual is unique because ...

I would say that the drop is essential to the fluid. A molecule of water does not make water. Multiple individual units interacting is the Fluid. How ...

Allow me to rephrase it “is the purchase of factory farmed human (An Animal) products ethical?” It’s well know that human commodities exist in economi...

I often find choosing the right words as cumbersome forgive my inaccuracies

Sorry perhaps comparison isn’t the right word. “Association”. The tie of money to a group. Value as a concept exchange between multiple individuals

I find it curious that you made this comparison. As when we study biology or specifically bioenergetics we come to the understanding that ATP is the “...

Haha interesting. Well if we have found ourselves as some neoGenetics which encode the life of the monetary system there is the beneficial gene (the s...
