Well I find myself asking questions to God like: "What form do you come in?" , "Do you exist?" , "What is this world we live in?" , and I really don't...

That's just terminology/nomenclature

I'll get started right away. No, given the answerer is an all-knowing being, it should have no problem. All complex problems can be summarized and bro...

See my reply to Judaka, which can I suppose be applied to your discourse as well.

Your answerer isn't a human. It's an all-knowing being aware of all the constituents.

Give me any major philosophical work, and I guarantee it can be split up into yes/no questions. Einstein said “It can scarcely be denied that the supr...

Steve Bannon comes to mind whenever I see your profile

That is literally the question I asked myself upon entering this website.

If such things exist as heaven and hell or reincarnation, then death is not the great equalizer.

There needs to be some way to impel and encourage commenters to focus on the discussion topic at hand.

Is it this type of god, the "omni-benevolent" kind, that is fair and equal in its treatment of its creations? And why then would life be the focus? Ju...

I started reading about him because of his hymns and advocacy for music. J.S. Bach and other composers of the north German organ school, whose composi...

You sound a bit judgy. Name-calling like this has been going on forever. It just encourages tribalism

From 9. The Argument of Miracles " Many years ago, at an otherwise dull convention, a distinguished philosopher explained why he had become a Christia...

I think philosophy has way too much labels.
September 14, 2020 at 16:59
Well, what would you do? You know this world better than anyone else.
September 14, 2020 at 16:56
Your comment is quite a bon mot in connection to the reasons I brainstormed.
September 13, 2020 at 23:25
Your whole post sounds like a conspiracy theory. It sounds like you're nitpicking anything you can find in the Bible to support your argument that Chr...

Anyone else here have a MuseScore account?

It seems that without scientific findings humans naturally despise the primal and claim that mankind is different from animals. I can understand that ...

You know that's interesting, you can carve your own path and describe any one experience in seemingly infinite ways. You could describe someone as sel...

I wouldn't say it's a matter of shyness. Perhaps women are just better at not needing the approval of others or needing something in their environment...

Compare your feeling and actions when you're in a room by yourself versus when there are others (or say strangers) in the room.
September 13, 2020 at 17:09
I think of philosophy as the general "pursuit of knowledge". And so there really is no such thing as abstractedness. Everything we say here applies to...
September 13, 2020 at 17:08
OK, that's the literal way of taking the question. I care (literally) what you think and I care about seeking wisdom. By titling this "Not caring what...

I want to hear more... ;)

It can't be cut out entirely, but you can slap a gastric band on it. In other words you can control the amount you feel "effected by the presence of o...

Why? There's no way to be a computer and have no ego or sense of self. Because you wake up every morning and have to eat something. So, it can't be wi...
September 13, 2020 at 00:22
But not caring what others think, or to allude what you were saying: to not be effected by the presence of others Some people are great at it- and I'm...
September 13, 2020 at 00:01
This is a wonderful example because it can applied to what we're talking about right now. I'm arguing something and for some odd reason I'm mixing in ...
September 12, 2020 at 23:58
But that's the thing. I think there are ways to "let go of your sense of self, or ego, or pride". Doing something you would normally never do, like we...
September 12, 2020 at 23:56
Care is quite a vague term. I really mean in all types of situations where you become self-conscious. In other words, where you solely focus on yourse...

In chess, computers (and now AI with AlphaZero) have for decades dominated the game. Today's chess grandmasters don't even come close to the calculati...

Thought experiments are usually incredibly vague. When applied to a field in which vague-ness is out of the question (law, for example), thought exper...

Philosophy makes progress because everything makes progress. Anything created by a being that knows nothing but progress has to be a thing which progr...
