I think my digestive system physically can't comfortably handle fatty meats like it could before. The taste in my mouth is the same, but causes a naus...

Hmm. I heard of one other person that had long term changes in tastes.

Maybe it was an incomplete study. But I imagine it is easier to ask a person their political stances than asking how much money they have.

I'm not saying the produce that lacks good symmetry is bad or that those that does isn't breeded for appearance primarily. But assuming people aren't ...

They kept price equal though.

I would just keep it simple. A man has masculine physical characteristics and functions physically. Their style of communication can be anything. Thei...

I personally am not a fan of melty foods when I myself am being melted.

Pizza is popular during football season which are generally colder months.

I wouldn't have the Emancipation Proclamation as a holiday because it only freed slaves in states that opposed the union. Many northern states continu...

I know a few black people who had never heard of the holiday until it became national. Largely celebrated in Texas.

How is the cause of autism described? I think depression can be linked to hippocampus size and communications with other brain parts. Perhaps drugs or...

Definitely hate heat waves. Stay inside to conserve energy. Only after it passes can I be productive again. In the winter it is largely overcast. They...

Surprised so few have approached this experiment like Sabina. So basically the data is interpreted wrong? Sensors 3 and 4 are wrongly not considered t...

I didn't mean to put this in lounge.

This is a post about religion in an analytical sense. Why wouldn't it belong in this section? It is related to infinite power. It is no small topic.

My focus is more on electric companies and things that literally are ridiculous to have redundancy. Basically a government regulating monopoly. As far...

I worry concern over size is driven by paranoia over being watched like China watches its citizens, or at least AI does. If the government programs ge...

Politicians that talk about oversized government definitely don't talk about what size they'd be comfortable with. I suppose if there could be a polit...

So a person's identity is all that matters? Life isn't about more?

Is it really obviously true though?

And what decides the value of what we give? Many do things that to many might seem bad and get back what many consider good. If you ask Conan the Barb...

I assume it means maybe we invent stuff to be important when maybe our identity is actually all that really matters? But society forces us to work wit...

Where is good versus bad determined without a conscious being to decide?

What about the concept of humans being made in the image of a god, but far short in abilities? And if a god were in fact all powerful would the term "...

So you agree that a single god with unlimited knowledge must be sadistic, or indifferent in terms of morality?

Well I assume any such god would need to be different than that of any religion in the sense of having very serious limitations that many may not find...

Oh I don't care about street cred. No diety gets worship from me, and thus far none have made their desire to be worshipped let alone presents known. ...

What are the prerequisites of being a god? Humans create stuff that we set into motion that reach scales we cannot manage anymore. Gods need not be gr...

Perhaps, but assume they exist and aren't sadistic. Can we assume they aren't omnipotent?

How do you mean? If I could have an apple and an orange or just an apple it couldn't make sense to chose the latter?

You're both right. It was a dumb question. I guess it can't be determined. But I guess I wanted to see what value could be given to this human existen...

I've been watching Hercules TLJs and Xena TWP lately. In many ways they explore multiple religions and allow them to coexist without conflict. I think...

"Frauds" but still conceivably as real?

Interesting OP.

Well maybe the issue is wanting or expecting extremes. Surely one can hope for a life that is pretty far from the bottom rung of society? Living out o...

Well maybe meaning can never be truly objective as everything object oriented will always be filtered through our mind, but it really would be nice to...

https://1000wordphilosophy.com/2023/02/06/meaning-of-life/ This was an interesting summary of the meaning of life in general. I still worry that only ...

So all meaning must be derived from ones own mind, and one can still seek pleasure as a nihilist even if pleasure, pain, numbness, oblivion, are all b...

It certainly makes me feel powerless.

Because if I were immortal in any form in a universe where nothing else is, it would become clear that we do matter. It takes only one world ending ev...

Because it implies that we didn't matter. We matter to each other while we're alive. But if we cease and get recycled into plant food what mattered to...

I am not familiar with omega point or omni-memory. My concern is that we do end in all forms after physical death making everything before and after j...

A God isn't necessary in my view. But that we consciously go on after death does matter. Just physically configuring only to be unassembled to be used...

Maybe I am presupposing that any part of us is nonphysical and therefore it interacts with this nonphysical world. I agree only physical interacts wit...

Fair. But maybe another word instead of hidden. They say dark matter exists despite not interacting with light, but it does interact with gravity? Can...

I hope there is experienced peace for us once we die. Life at its worse can make a person question everything.

There is a maximum lifespan for the species and a statistical lifespan over which 50% don't make it? My life will never span past my age at death.

Fair

In that case whose more prone to arrogants? Philosophers or physicists? Physicists at least need to back up most statements but Philosophers touch on ...

Are you saying they're full of themselves? Lol.
