Sure, it doesn't make you a liar. But if it is a fundamental truth, a profound permeating principle, and you choose to ignore it, then you ignore the ...

You're right. Partial or less significant sets of truth can be known. I am however talking about an overriding whole truth. Not partial features. The ...

I'm familiar with platos cave. Prisoners in cave only see projection of actual reality, one goes outside, sees things as they are, goes back in to tel...

For me I understand the holy Trinity differently. In my explorations I found it to regard the concept of "Truth" and it's revelation rather than the c...

I'm familiar with Atwoods dystopia. The frightening thing and I suspect most captivating, is how plausible it is. Its not like extreme and fundamental...

I think these are definitely a very good start. I do think narcissism isn't as fixed as we think though. I believe people can become more narcissistic...

True. So in conclusion, he either finds a way to refuse believing the curse and thus isn't influenced by it, or he does believe it (what Beth wants) i...

Don't know why prostitution is dishonorable. If anything, prostitution is selling ones innate qualities (sexual attractiveness/beauty) and personal sk...

Science is actually about articulating a rational explanation to counter someone's views rather than saying "that's just pseudoscience" with zero back...

Alright. It wAs mEaNT tO SAy "Apply". Glad we clarified. I'll be more sure to write with exacting precision in future in case you mis-interpret someth...

Ah I see we are devolving to the petty. It was a typo. "apply" was the word I meant to write. Take your trolling elsewhere as its vindictive and malic...

Those that take don't take antibiotics kill themselves faster. I feel you're either trolling or just desperate for some validity. When you next get a ...

Yes. Other living things are stressed by other factors that apply to their life cycle/ nature and don't apply to ours. Bacteria are stressed by the pr...

For you to establish anything as definitively "pseudoscience" that requires you to be the ultimate and unquestionable "scientist." Knowing all and eve...

No it doesn't haha. Good conditions. Ripe conditions, are not stressful. Such conditions foster life. Just as the conditions of 23 degrees, adequate w...

According to who? Trees undergo stress like we do. The stressors may not be the same. But a tree can experience detriment to it's growth and reproduct...

Yes it is as claim to such. Toxic behaviours do cause damage. As we established. It then highlights the opposite, that healthy behaviors promote genet...
May 27, 2023 at 17:14
Good. Then we are on to something here. This is merely the holistic approach to human health and longevity. To be holistic means acknowledging that al...

That's true. If the apology is genuine and remorseful. He will feel compelled do act to restore karma. If it isn't genuine or coming from remorse, if ...

"This statement is a statement". Is this true? I think so
May 26, 2023 at 16:11
For me truth is that which is most permanent in reality. That which is unchanging. Thus absolute truth is fundamental and constant. The single law tha...

I think God can be considered as a duality of A). Existence. The whole and B). A mind-state of "awareness of existence". In this duality God is either...

Depends on the theism. If you anthropomorphise "God" as some omnipotent he/she, then sure, they're awful for letting suffering occur. However if you t...

And how might he go about stopping her reign of influence over his bad days?

Ah yes from Nietzsche. Sublimation of loneliness or envy into contempt. Thank you for the link I shall have a read through
May 26, 2023 at 12:29
If he believes her curse. Sure. Which is what Beth wants because if he does her revenge is working. And there's a chance he also believes this was bro...
May 26, 2023 at 04:01
in option one she will get an apology. How has she lied in this case? As the curse says if he apologises he is released from it and the curse ends If ...
May 25, 2023 at 13:58
Absolutely. Superheroes and Sci-fi are predominant film categories for a reason. They reflect our innate desire for superhuman abilities. For magic. T...

Knowledge/wisdom falling on deaf ears is considered "ignorance." For me society/social cohesion is born of and propagated by a permanent state of auto...

It's popular because it exemplifies common human fears: ugliness, unlovability, failure to thrive/prosper, social excommunication/pariahism, depressio...

Compassion may not be appropriate sure, especially if it is seen to exonerate, permit, validate or encourage such harmful ideals. But understanding th...

I wouldn't say all incels are like this. Ofc not. Some are just disgruntled. Some aren't even incels their entire life and it's just a phase they go t...
May 24, 2023 at 10:57
I think it's because most men growing up initially assume that everyone will have a partner. That there's a match for every person. This is ofc an ide...
May 24, 2023 at 10:55
Firstly, its not for me to determine your claimed membership to a group. The one to approach in that case is the group itself and what they accept as ...

Probably the same reason flat earthers ramped up out of no where. In this hyperconnected era, thoughts and ideas run viral like wildfire. I doubt in a...
May 24, 2023 at 07:02
Part of it is sweeping generalisation and essentialising. Someone mutters a mere hint of anti-feminist or mysoginistic rhetoric and boom, people jump ...
May 24, 2023 at 06:58
It is feminism if the society is inherently patriarchal/misogynistic to begin with. Which it is. Equal rights in a male-biased system is feminist (sup...

Women in such societies even share the responsibility of breastfeeding. With a rotary system of feeding. I think this is great from a biological point...

Quite a lot actually. Several mass shootings. If you require references I can cite them. Now that isn't to say other groups have not committed violent...

I would say that a "movement" (belief system/ideology) is not equal to your innate ethnicity/ definition or characterisation as a person. I would say ...
May 23, 2023 at 17:12
I see what you mean. However we must not ignore single mothers and single father's raising entire families alone. To assume that a mothers role in the...

They do. And sharing such responsibility, allowing them to overlap, requires breaking down prejudice and stereotyping regarding what it is/means to be...
May 23, 2023 at 17:00
Well this is called "essentialism". Reducing ones singular action or demonstration of behaviour to a permanent definition. Social media does this all ...
May 23, 2023 at 16:50
What I don't understand is that self perceived "incels" actively seek out incel platforms to voice their frustrations and lack of self worth to other ...
May 23, 2023 at 11:47
Interesting I see your point
May 23, 2023 at 11:40
Bit harsh but you're entitled to your opinion I guess. Male feminism is bullshit? If that's the case it's just divisive and pigeon holing all men inti...
