Making ourselves feel good inherently benefits others because it innately optimizes us to be fit to care for another being; in turn keeping the human ...

This seems like a magical leap and makes no sense. To deny omniscience authoritatively from an atheistic perspective is to deny that the claims of the...
January 30, 2022 at 01:46
I really appreciate you taking time to answer, I think this answer is pretty level-headed. I am not in the medical profession, so I'm not entirely fam...

And what are examples of these beliefs? How can you have a belief, or claim to have one without language? I think we have discovered that animals have...

What do you mean by this?
January 16, 2022 at 00:25
So, just leave the thread and stop blabbering on like a supposed smart ass. What's the matter with you? You just look like a fool.
January 16, 2022 at 00:13
Why in the world would I do that? You've said in your posts multiple times, no one knows what they're talking about regarding the principle of moralit...

It's not impossible to answer, there just aren't right or wrong answers to the question. It is open ended, hypothetical and imaginative not definite. ...
January 15, 2022 at 23:05
Then what's the point going back and forth with me and asking me to "read carefully and answer the question"? Just move on if you think so. What's the...
January 15, 2022 at 22:44
I still don't know what in the world you're talking about. You're asking me to read carefully, yet you didn't read my post, seemingly at all. You quot...

Wouldn't a language with no factual basis that is nonsensical just be a private language? It seems so. I guess it's just what we mean by nonsense.

I have a brother in Prison for truly horrific reasons I won't mention, with a history of recidivism. Having grown up witness to him, I am comfortable ...

We make these calculations then take such risks often. It's a fallible system, but I don't see how fallibility necessarily negates reliability and bet...
January 15, 2022 at 22:01
I don't know if its me or you, or what's going on, but I just don't understand what you're asking or what the issue is, or how they are unrelated. The...

Being low income is much worse than it has to be because they have tons of kids and no access to medical care; a lot of low income problems are govern...
January 15, 2022 at 20:51
Yeah, I agree. They don't really bother me personally, but the ones the other way definitely do.
January 15, 2022 at 20:43
That seems like an uncalculated risk. There are knowns. The man turning into a serial killer after the fact is his own random business and to be dealt...
January 15, 2022 at 20:38
I'm not really sure what you mean, but I am essentially asking if the elements of ones past and history where they have demonstrated to be indifferent...
January 15, 2022 at 20:36
I don't know. Whatever it is.
January 15, 2022 at 20:30
What's most interesting is the first 2 pages of this thread are entirely about sexuality and sex reproduction when answering the OP as well; not some ...

You mean the same women that typically (in my experience) have a weakness or vulnerability to the female in form - and stronger tendencies to be seduc...
August 04, 2021 at 01:54
This is likely wildly personal. There is nothing attractive to me about looking at women; my eyes don't divert to them or their figures - unless you m...
August 04, 2021 at 01:33
Male voices are deeper and heavier than women voices. Unless the woman is literally screaming in 'high energy banter' and the men are practically spea...
August 04, 2021 at 00:52
If only men were receptive and not oblivious to it, though.
August 04, 2021 at 00:20
Of course they don't; because they spend all their days openly and overtly expressing their attraction to tits, ass, and desire through their innate s...
August 04, 2021 at 00:13
It no different to men that feel disgust and revulsion/aversion to evoke subject change when a group of women talk about and discuss the male body in ...
August 03, 2021 at 22:54
This male-thinking. It is not difficult at all to separate aesthetics from sexually stimulating. Someone that looks like Chris Hemsworth can be aesthe...
August 03, 2021 at 19:53
I really don't like making personal judgments, but based off this information, it seems you have some conflicting statements that need to be sorted ou...
August 03, 2021 at 19:18
It is not exaggerated when talking about sexuality and not mere aesthetics. Aesthetically wise, to a hetero woman, an 'attractive female body' is no d...
August 03, 2021 at 12:21
This is just a lazy male blind-spot. It's cute men think a bunch of amateur sex workers in hooker clothing are actually sexually aroused by this and i...
August 03, 2021 at 10:34
Definitely agree. I mean what is the point to all these 130 pounds of flesh, organs and systems. There has to be an easier way to get nourishment and ...

Based off these definitions, holding agnosticism as a position, especially one that is 'better' just seems like virtue signaling and pseudo-intellectu...
July 06, 2021 at 05:27
The only agnostics that matter are the ones that hold their "belief" in (ii) and (iv) with so much conviction it is indistinguishable from fact. A few...
July 06, 2021 at 05:17
Interesting question. I'm curious what roles other parts of the brain plays into this, such as the cerebellum and spatial awareness. The cerebellum an...
April 10, 2021 at 03:25
What? You're the third person that has picked on me in this thread for nothing. All I did was ask a question like everyone else here. Leave me alone o...
April 01, 2021 at 03:27
Morality seems almost akin to "practical life". Is it not just a series of practiced 'practical/normative' habits to alleviate stress, discomfort, etc...

The questions are information-seeking; I am seeking your opinion on how you evaluate, think through and address the dilemmas through a series of quest...

But is it just psychologically projective processes or is there really no external or objective basis that we can determine the strong aversion, wishi...

With all this said, if hate or "hatred" is just an emotional/feeling, is it reasonable to remove a leader from office, if they say, "I hate America" ....
March 31, 2021 at 21:48
Would you then it is "bad" to hate a baby killer on the basis of their actions then? Do you feel similar about the body positivity movement, that it i...
March 31, 2021 at 21:29
Hey, thanks for the answers all. You make a lot of interesting points. I will respond very soon!
March 31, 2021 at 14:44
Could you answer this: So, if I have an extreme hate toward fat people, is this unethical? Or is this hate "good" because being fat is unhealthy? Sure...
March 31, 2021 at 04:16
Why, would you say, it's definitely true hatred is not useful?
March 31, 2021 at 02:12
So, if I have an extreme hate toward fat people, is this unethical? Or is this hate "good" because being fat is unhealthy? Or, say, if Mike says, "I h...

Would you say those that "lack hatred" for Hitler are "bad"? What is the purpose of "hating" Hitler?
March 31, 2021 at 01:53
Which demonstrates whether someone "can" or "cannot" consent to being harmed is irrelevant to the fact that X causes harm regardless, and it is the la...

I'm saying that malicious intent (moral blindness) is typically what distinguishes between the boxer and a perpetrator. Just like rape roleplay is a v...

An ability to discuss personal things impersonally is a good skill to have; because it sets a tone to discuss sensitive topics that need to be on the ...
