The last 3 paragraphs seem a bit inconsistent with my expectations/speed set by what comes before. Feels just a little hurried/truncating at this poin...
How does one justify this claim? We could just as well say that the average populous is compelled into extreme acts from the standpoint of our hunter-...
Have no clue. We need a terrifyingly thinky logician, like a Bertrand Russell or an Alfred N. Whitehead to demonstrate why of what I could never under...
I can with equivocation (?). An thing cannot be divided with regard to holistic function/identity but it can be divided in other ways. Perhaps any thi...
Thanks for your charitable and patient elucidation. The Dr. got paged. I can't be certain or not whether equivocation is going on here. Hard to wrap m...

Once we enter the realm of dialethism and true contradictions you're going to have to page a professional logician or a Buddhist monk perhaps. Someone...
What if I see the apple as red because I'm wearing red tinting spectacles that colors all apples red, but Mary, across the way, is wearing her green t...
As humans we easily strive to complete and resolve contradictions through proper context, charitable interpretation, relevant experience et cetera. We...

De quel côté tombe l'injustice, d'une chute tragique contre les nombreux joyeux ? Un con n'est pas un criminel. Mais si tout est mécanique au cœur de ...
As has been discussed recently on the Rogan podcast with John Abramson, these companies are sometimes allowed to market drugs that have near statistic...
Would omniscience transcend identity or would it give potential access to all identities/perspectives, including hypothetical/imaginary ones? If so, h...
As the condition/development/prognosis of these girls in the documentary show, it would perhaps be a terminal setback for the species given enough tim...

Don't quite understand why Dale's detour for the shovel gives him cause to say this. Doesn't he need the snow shovel to get to the box office. Seeming...
This lady has become her own therapist purely by the accident of a creepy anonymous caller. She's quite open given how one-sided the dialogue must be ...
This scenario of judgement before the court is very effective for setting up a quick tension of suspense with dialogue. Great vehicle for a short stor...
We've now planted the seed of karmic evil. A goat screamed and wretched as it trembled to its knees amongst the brush. Black blood gushed from its mou...
Seems to have borrowed elements from the Polynesian myth (Hina and the Eel) for the origin of the coconut. Fun as a kind of stream of consciousness, a...
So how would mental fossils work if we were to describe the behavior of our living cousins, like orangutans or cats? How do we label which thoughts be...

In this ideal world of minimizing risk of exposure to the vulnerable, immune folks would have real knowledge of their immunity and would adjust their ...
You take the blue pill—the story ends, and you can put the Matrix behind you. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and get to watch an unlimi...
All genres of literature are contaminated by an all encompassing reality of cosmic horror. Little miss Muffet she sat on her tuffet, eating her curds ...
The Super Bowl season might depend on whether the Earth is still revolving around the Sun. Though we could conceive of a Super Bowl season in which th...
Ain't no one gonna accept beastiality except a vanishing and disturbed minority. Getting off to furry/octopus porn doesn't count as beastiality. A hum...
Anthropomorphic features are on an arbitrary continuum. If you put a hat on some slime mold, it's more human eh? If you dress an animal up to give it ...
Disregard all animal production for a moment then and consider wild stocks, like the ocean. Suppose we had access to unlimited sustainable reserves of...
What's weird is that some vegans don't eat honey but it could be argued that bee keeping improves the life of a bee colonies because bee colonies alwa...
There are other kinds of pollution besides carbon dioxide gas. The folks who work in region with eco-friendly jobs are often exporting pollution elsew...
Ayn Rand will become the darling of a new academic philosophy that exists only in privately funded think tanks and mega yacht Seasteading universities...
Really, I thought it was an incredibly simple idea. Qualia is what a philosophical zombie doesn't have, any interior experience (likeness?) of existen...
