A safe place for themselves. Saying for their sex brings in group identity and goes outside the purview of non-gendered talk about sex. A group identi...
Exactly, gender is only a factor when it is. . . well. . . an actual factor. Not arbitrarily inserted into a decision without relevancy. There is alre...
Basically this sums up every single problem that both sides possess in having any sort of dialogue on this sort of discussion. Everybody gets the dist...
Larger by what metric? I'm not going call you bigoted but I am going to call you out on a rather, at first glance, baseless characterization of the wh...
Consistency only requires that the truth of said metaphysics does not or cannot result in falsifying the metaphysical viewpoint via experiential pheno...
The curious issue I have is about metaphysical hypotheses that are by definition consistent with any previous, current, or future experiential phenome...
"The good of war is it allows us to express and live the desire for war inside of us." . . . and if I never am put into such a situation or do not joi...
First, what is a 'thing'? I know this seems somewhat pedantic but are there really such different or distinct 'things' in reality that have dependency...
Depends on your definition of omnipotence or whether you happen to think that any and all definitions of omnipotence require the possibility of perfor...
Is it possible under the accepted logical axiomatic structure (fuzzy logic, classical logic, para-consistent, etc) for such an action to be performed?...
If you are able to do something that is impossible then it actually isn't impossible and rather not categorized correctly or specified. If something i...
Technically if what a human being can understand or what actions a human being can perform metaphysically are determined/governed descriptively by the...
I'm sort of fine with this definition if what we mean here is that we happen to search throughout the cosmos and of all beings catalogued we happen to...
Intriguing dichotomy, this seems to cover my thinking. As human beings have the environment change us as well as have it usually bring about varied ex...
Really? How do you know this? Reality is. . . how it's and to specify that it could have been any-other way (speaking in terms of nomological/metaphys...
I'd preface here that you'll need to specify whether you are talking about conceptual or metaphysical/nomological possibilities. There is a stark diff...
Claim among many others made in the bible with no external supporting sources. It was written and thusly claimed in the bible that he predicted his re...
What? He (lets assume it was you and you survived the crash) didn't have any waking experience of interacting with the car nor being able to do so (er...
Because intuitively explanation involves our ability to investigate and therefore fully understand whatever is that we are explaining I can give you t...
Logically impossible to investigate fully not to explain. To assert it's not possible to describe or abstractly investigate our mental faculties via f...
Experience and our thoughts exist so what is it that does and doesn't exist? What else is it that you require to constitute consciousness that isn't o...
Yes, we require a meta-analysis of the meta-metaphysics that underlie the discussion of god as numerous assumptions go into prescribing a specific nat...
Is a claim about an arbitrary definition of what moral principles a being called god (not defined) is supposed to possess. If everything was made of t...
Either it must exist in materiality or among our mental concepts, inequality that is, because otherwise we wouldn't understand equity. Even if slavery...
Are they? Human beings were made in the image of god according to Christian theology but no other animal, plant, or structure in the universe falls in...
Every concept does but not every concept is mean't to mean that which isn't just perceived by consciousness but is reflective of something that posses...
Somewhat correct in the sense that god could be given conceptual grounding or "reality" in the same sense that an imaginary red chair can be. There me...
So it is a language game being played? Something we call conscious existence exists and it has rather intriguing conceptual features that repeat. By e...
Well you saying "Jesus = God" is at best a renaming of the biblical character Jesus calling him now god or at worst a sneaking in of unstated characte...
Well there are theistic philosophers or god believing people who work in science/philosophical disciplines and there are those who claim that a god (u...
In my mind I find making such a distinction (between time and change) is rather dubious as I at least consider myself to be a relationist with respect...
True in the sense that it can be shown to come logically given a certain set of accepted axioms. True in that classical logic inexorable without issue...
It's arbitrary what axioms you accept and while the conclusions you draw given a previously system within which to do so is not if you choose to preci...
Yes, descriptions of our reality and further arbitrary abstractions to model its behvaior. I can't remember again what it's that you've defined super-...
I'd also preface that you do not seem to note the difference between that which is merely undecidable and that which is paradoxical with both being ra...
What laws of nature? You mean the regularities or patterns in our experience because if that is what we value to navigate our experiences then contrad...
They have to be as at most I have come to be aware of these models or perhaps give rise to them, manipulate them, but in the end given I have not (wit...
Abstract models merely are further combinations of concepts that we possess now and continue to learn formulated in such a way that they are implied t...
A lot of that is already contained in even basic understandings (not being insulting here) of scientific methodology. The idea of constructing better ...
I was talking about how some may define natural differently in such a manner that they wouldn't require the label supernatural. There I was clarifying...
Not natural experiences but what gives rise to and are experiences (what they do or how they do it) are what is natural. Well you keep using the phras...
Natural is what exists and either is or gives rise to our experiences. Many can be accompanied by evidence that makes it likely among our web of belie...
Exactly so we can only work with approximations full stop, done. "Beyond the natural laws", you mean beyond the patterns we see. The patterns are all ...
It's not counterproductive to admit there is no way out of the philosophical skeptics thought experiments. You are probably right about energy conserv...
Well this is a mismatch between the map (model) and the terrain (reality) in which were asking how far can this model be applied before it stops model...
The afterlife is either eternal boredom and thusly a hell of its own making or a state of perpetual amnesia/enjoyment that negates our free will there...
