The artist holds copyright on bull, I think he spent around $300,000 of his own funds making it and I read he was trying to sell his rights to it.

I wonder if the universe were infinite, then wouldn't what is actually possible have to become actual at some point?

The cards are the cards, you are just as likely to get a good hand and you can still go all-in.

Not sure. Do you mean that most people have a bias towards the future, which fits in well with our culture's sense of progress? But, not everyone.

I like the Blue Oyster Cult. Time is one of the ways we intuit what we experience, and at that level, it, is the ego's point of view that counts, with...

Fine, but do you agree that what is chronological, depends on, is derivative from, our POV in the flow of time?

Sure the past occurred before present chronologically but my point of view is in the present, in the flow of time, and from that POV what has occurred...

Isn't ..."Any time after the present", the past"?

I think Keats was suggesting that if what we find mysterious, beautiful, enchanting in the world, is an illusion (the Lamia), one which Science sees t...

How about a transcendental method? Kant does not prove morality (or evil), he accepts that both are real. All you have to do is look around to see exa...

So my conclusion regarding the coveting bit is that it is not good for me because it treats someone as a means for pleasure and not as being an end, a...

So this argument morphs itself to fit any occasion. I think doing something immoral might cause guilt in me, but that guilt does not make the action m...

How is that, I don't think it follows. I can transgress laws obtain pleasure and continue to do so and I may never experience any pain associated with...

K, but I don't think 'harm' as you using it here, is the same as the harm associated with pain (as the OP would have it), this harm is based on observ...

Well the commandment is nonspecific. "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife" If it causes pleasure for me and no harm to anyone else then it must b...

I like your thought but I seem to get pleasure from the idea.

What harm is it to "covet thy neighbor's wife"?

Read the article, it does not deaden the pain, it removes it.
