Thanks for the input. Though I’m thinking after being on this forum, I am reminded that Philosophy asks questions that other subjects have done away w...

Yes not wear a mask etc. If it doesn’t break the law, most people feel bad doing this though. How does Philosophy today lead us to science?

All I ever wanted was to know the real truths about the world. I think I have that now for me, which is taking a step back from the world and looking ...

Thanks for the input. Though I’m thinking after being on this forum, I am reminded that Philosophy asks questions that other subjects have done away w...

Just to clarify. I think the laws are what are right and wrong. If you don’t like it, get out or cry out the injustice and make sure you’re not going ...

I still wouldn’t bother trying to change the laws or the status quo. Sure you can have your own views of ethics (see title) but I’ll never change anyo...

I still wouldn’t try to change a law if it was wrong, I don’t have time to change the world it’s just not worth the time. I suppose I still have trust...

You just weigh it, pros and cons of a decision. I personally wouldn’t break the law because I’d feel so bad of the consequences, the punishment of soc...

I would agree with that, I think.

To test my ideas? I don’t mind who it’s coming from. But it’s not like an authority figure that tells you to do things and doesn’t give any explanatio...

What isn’t? The forum? You mean the world? Would you be happy to finish undecided though? That sounds silly to me, all that thinking about a question ...

How much time do you have left?? I mean no offence.

It means you make your own mind up without forcing your opinion on other people, because people are different and have different viewpoints. But the k...

Mmm! Yes. Moral skepticism. Cool. Which one are you?

I would say all knowledge and morals are baseless. Not values I don’t think. Values are principles that help you decide what is right and wrong and ho...

Why do you think that?

Ahhh. So what would I do if money came into play? Well, I guess I would weigh the pros and cons. Would someone who has strong morals do this too? I do...

I guess I think the most human thing you can do is stick to what’s true for you, what works for you.

Yes, thank you. I think there are no morals, it’s a personal view. Is that moral relativism?

Yes, maybe I do think life is a big game of chance! Thank you, that makes my viewpoint clearer to me.

Oh, that was just my opinion, I would definitely say it’s right for them to rip people off it makes them feel good but I would try and make them feel ...

How do you know it won’t go up?! You’d have to know EVERYTHING, for example that miracles don’t exist? I would let you say ‘I guess it will go up’, bu...

Oh, I don’t feel good ripping people off. There must be something wrong with people who do, I wouldn’t know how to fix that, but that would be just me...

Hmm. Then I would lock him up! And/or punch him in the face!!

Sure thing, but I think you wouldn’t feel good when you’re life is screwed up, maybe that’s why it is illegal?

I always thought people don’t really know anything, because their ideas about the world could always be proven wrong, unless you’ve met every idea in ...

Pragmatism- If it works do it? Can we really know anything???

If something is true for me and I’m happy with it, because we’re in the world and you can discover lots of falsifications of a theory. And I’m happy w...

Yes. That sounds good. Tell me more?

Maybe my truth is subjective, but I can argue I’m being more objective than anyone else? What does everyone else think?

So if I would like to post a thread titled ‘Objective Vs. Subjective Truth’, that’s most likely not original, so I would find that thread somewhere? W...

Don’t worry. It was about objective truth and people being equal. I don’t know how to argue the details of that. Maybe I will be content in arguing fo...

I’ve read the guidelines, maybe it was too short? 3 or 4 sentences. I would be worried about it mentioning Oxfam in title and post, thread in Ethics.

Truth is what we’re missing. Objective truth I believe. Imagine yourself above the Universe looking down. You are in the nothing, looking at existence...
