He wasn't. As explained here, "Both during his life and after it, Crowley has been widely described as a Satanist, usually by detractors. Crowley stat...
It might be indivisible at a certain scale, but it's not indivisible at every scale. There is a half way point between the start of a 100m line and th...
That doesn't make it true. I would say that religions are prone to falsehoods. That wouldn't make it evil. And I think the key term there is excessive...
Yes there is. But even if there wasn't, that wouldn't make it evil. Their addictions are harmful, and this harm can be empirically measured. There isn...
Like in ancient Mesopotamia, the birth of civilisation? And yet you called them savages when I showed you that they practiced same-sex marriage. And, ...
His point is that the notion of virginity was only a relevant notion when we lived in a society where women were treated as property and where "purity...
You're getting too tied up with the term "countable". As suggested above, just consider the term "floozable". A floozable set is a set with the same c...
It's the same definition of cardinality: "Cardinality is defined in terms of bijective functions. Two sets have the same cardinality if, and only if, ...
No, it's the same definition and both relate to bijection. It's just that the cardinal numbers used are different. In the case of finite sets we use t...
Actually, I think the claim that homosexuality isn't a choice is a response to the claim that homosexuality is wrong because it isn't natural (i.e. is...
As explained here, "Cardinality is defined in terms of bijective functions. Two sets have the same cardinality if, and only if, there is a one-to-one ...
When you asked "do you disagree" I assumed you meant "do you disagree with this definition", not "do you disagree that this is the definition that man...
It's a thing in maths. It seems to me that you're trying to argue against mathematical terminology without actually understanding the mathematics invo...
There's no such thing as "packaging". What we do is define a list of categories and then when a user posts a discussion they select which category to ...
Yes, I disagree, as it entails that women can't have sex with each other, and so that all lesbians (who haven't been penetrated by a penis) are virgin...
I think there's some misunderstanding here. jamlrob has no control over what the software can do. It's like Facebook, only we pay to use it. So there'...
I don't really understand this objection. I can say that no matter what apple I eat, there will always be apples that I haven't eaten. Therefore apple...
That's what we get for letting those damn immigrants work for Royal Mail. Someone should kick the lot of them out and let Great Britain be great and B...
Set A is a subset of set B if every element of set A is an element of set B. Nothing about the definition requires that A containers fewer elements th...
I'm not sure what you're saying here. If you're only saying that consciousness depends on brain activity, then Chalmers would agree. He's a property d...
How do you know that the people you claim to be fully conscious are fully conscious? Because of their behaviour? Then you're begging the question. The...
One could always question the notion of behaving as if we're conscious. One might say that we only behave as if the physical laws and prior physical s...
The set of natural numbers is a subset of the set of natural numbers. A countable set is a set with the same cardinality as some subset of the set of ...
Personally, I would suggest dropping the term "physical" and offering something more meaningful. Can consciousness be reduced to outward bodily behavi...
Actually, the set of natural numbers is countable by definition, as in mathematics a countable set is defined as a set with the same cardinality as so...
Making money takes time and effort. Having (lots of) money means free time and laziness and - perhaps most importantly - lie-ins. God I hate the morni...
