It seems Israel is doing what the Assyrians and Romans did to them over a thousand years ago... Countless visions/visitations later and here they are ...
There's a show called "Travelers" which reminds me of your topic. Here, you have people from a dystopian future who are sent back in time, with specif...
Yeah it's a mess here but thankfully since the news is so open, we're seeing studies showing these vaccines' efficacy. In Brazil, this particular vacc...
Ain't that the truth. That's why I'm all for removing superficial and archaic barriers. This virus is an opportunity for us to experience how alike we...
3rd world countries like ours definitely want to be like you guys in the top echelon but I really don't think the resource management and distribution...
There's evidence of early hominids caring for their elderly, their young and the sick. We also see similar behaviors in animals that live in groups. S...
I think most people were content being hung up on the practical or day to day things of their lives to be concerned of big picture stuff but nowadays ...
I think we're all the same to an extent. Those things are quite fun to think about and make for some interesting topics of conversation. Nowadays thou...
Oh yeah such theories can definitely be interesting but I think we need to keep it clear that these are just theories. And true or not, they don't rea...
I guess this is really what's it's all about. How we're dealing with this worldwide phenomenon will be a precursor to how we deal with subsequent prob...
That's great news! Well, you're not gonna believe this but upon testing, my mom apparently has antibodies, which means she already got it but nobody k...
Unfortunately, no. Everything I know about them is based on our visits. I used to work for a company that did a lot of business in Japan. Don't get me...
That sounds scary. That happened to an extension cable of ours. It started making popping noises and causing sparks. Hope your issue was taken care of...
As of now China and France are intending to engineer soldiers but I'm not sure what degree of enhancement we're talking about here. I'm a bit concerne...
Yeah I've thought about this too. Whether it's capitalism, feudalism, communism, cash or barter - it would still be the same. You would have the rulin...
It's just another take on the nature and definition of reality. With regards to money, it should be no different from a televangelist asking for donat...
In the 200 thousand years of our species' existence, we've gone through many such upheavals. The last major one 70 thousand years ago wiped us out to ...
But this core point of embracing uncertainty is something that every single religion has gotten wrong. They missed the truth of why civilizations cont...
Well, clearly, it is too late for this disaster but then this will not be the last disaster. Climate change, extreme weather, volcanoes, earthquakes, ...
I feel very bad for what's happening to your country. I sincerely hope you all find some unity and stability soon. In my opinion, however, the root of...
A friend of mine told me this theory soon after Trump won. He said that Trump and his family were lifelong democrats. And so, he was planted to destro...
Is it still "coercive" if we can choose among a multitude of jobs or careers to work in? And if the whole city can't provide the individual with a goo...
I definitely believe this must be at the core of planning and prevention. So, given that there's too much uncertainty, what are the things we can do t...
The delay itself can be part of the predetermined decision process. But it can also give us a greater sense of agency. The amount delay or planning in...
Typically, individuals create a sense of purpose or meaning based on their biology, upbringing, education, culture, life experience. It can be theisti...
It's quite common to leave your primary family (parents and siblings) here too. What's less common is when a husband/father leaves his wife and child....
I think modern law already takes this into consideration. That's why we have degrees of murder, for example - from involuntary manslaughter, second de...
In my opinion, it would be easier to approach the question of "free-will" based on the process that we make our decisions. For the most part, we human...
I think attachments are simply a part of life. We're attached to our families and loved ones, we're attached to our jobs (somewhat), we're attached to...
If not to alleviate your own suffering, it's possible that you're expressing something formed by habit or training. Or you probably may not share the ...
That's a great strategy. This Pandemic is telling us that life's too short to be focused on just making money. We have to take what little time we hav...
When I chose Psychology, it's because I wanted to get into counselling. Family, couple, groups, youth. Family counselling especially because I find th...
That's interesting because I'm a Psychology graduate and I'm currently pursuing graduate studies in Psychology. I'm also technically a Roman Catholic ...
Altruistic behavior has always interested me. I've always thought that we are a self-interested species that happen to be part of a larger group syste...
Well, empathy is more just sharing the feeling while compassion would be more of an outward expression of the desire to assist, alleviate. You would n...
Yes definitely distinct. The observer can only surmise what's happening based on their own personal experience. But there will still be that shared re...
Regarding altruistic acts, we can also see similar things in the animal world. Where you can even find animals taking care of other animals from a dif...
I agree it's very broad that's why I'm limiting myself to more practical things like say, medicine, engineering, physical objects, climate, biology et...
Yes, thank you for the explanation. Though, what I'm trying to do is to answer your question above. Science is not perfect but I think it's the best w...
What do you think about the harm principle? As in "prevent unnecessary harm and suffering?" People are likely to follow that more than anything else a...
Maybe. Like the unobserved part of the universe. I doubt there's nothing there just because we haven't the tools to see that far. But then we have to ...
Ah ok. I suppose, like symbols, concepts/intentions/ideas/values - once expressed, will also become real. Added: But, that's not to say that mere utte...
I don't know in what way these symbols are not "observable." Is it in the sense that someone is conceiving a set of symbols in their heads and chooses...
It doesn't have to do anything beyond creating us (assuming we disregard every single act of wrath it did or approved of) because every single decisio...
Yes, so again there is just the one path - the one it knew all along that we would choose. Evolution only got us to the point of directing our biologi...
