Craving for a solution can get in the way of finding one. The pandemic occured because people are not cautious and are exploitative toward nature and ...
It's not news that vaccinating people who are already infected with the pathogen they are being vaccinated against can lead to complications, similar ...
There seems to be a limit to how much critical thinking and goodwill people are willing and able to engage in in a time of crisis, and that manifestin...
In Slovenia, there has for a long time been an unspoken culture of how to proceed in such cases, and people in general were expected to "make the righ...
In some EU countries, we have a mixture of privatised and universal healthcare. Here, the bottomline is that health insurance only gets you at the end...
*sigh* I'm not against vaccination in general, nor against vaccination against covid in particular. But I am against vaccinating people of unknown med...
You keep up. The official popular "Get vaccinated, or else!" narrative allows for no consideration as to why a person didn't get vaccinated. Such is a...
"Metta" isn't 'love', and "loving-kindness" is an awkward translation. From Thanissaro Bhikkhu: Metta Means Goodwill: /.../ Metta is a wish for happin...
How could these two questions possibly be separate?? - - - It's not clear what the term "virtue ethics" actually means, since "virtue" and "ethics" ar...
Is it really the case that power wants to censor dissenting views? Possibly not. It serves those in power to have dissenters, and some extreme dissent...
Yes. In some of those countries, doctors and esp. medical nurses have been complaining for years that they are severely understaffed (and underpayed)....
And no consideration is given as to why a person didn't get vaccinated. It's quite strange that there are no contraindications for covid vaccines. For...
There is at least one further option, namely, that God is a tribalist, has a chosen tribe, and the objectively good is what is good for that tribe. Th...
It seems the OP is trying to make it about the God of philosophers. But then it's not clear on the grounds of what a religious idea should be given re...
(I haven't read the whole thread, so ...) I think this pretty much says it all. From what I've seen, computer scientists tend to view information as p...
Your request is as absurd as your accusations. My only hope for you is that you remain blissfully ignorant of what you miss out on in life and the dam...
He started this. He started this with misrepresenting me viciously and refusing to desist. He has always treated me like I am his underling and that I...
Guilty until proven innocent? It's not you who needs to prove your accusation, it's I who needs to defend myself against it and convince you otherwise...
For example, by some Muslim standards, Christians are atheists. But does that make them atheists? To go further East, there are many deities in Buddhi...
Of course. A particular type of atheism is usually shaped in reference to the theism it opposes, and so just like there are many theisms, so there are...
In the EU, a covid passport is a paper or digital document with one's covid status (recovered, vaccinated, or tested) linked to an online database tha...
Buddhism is far too versatile to make generalized claims of this sort. For example, the Pure Land Buddhists, a major school of Buddhism, believe in sa...
No, literally. If poverty would in and of itself be a virtue, then gutters and prisons should be full of good, morally upright, even enlightened peopl...
That's because they take for granted that they will be saved. It's only the few scrupolous Roman Catholics who live in fear of messing up their one an...
To what use, to what end? Unless one is omniscient, or gifted with enormous self-confidence, then how can one possibly know what is truly, objectively...
You're lucky. At pretty much any other forum you'd be banned for misrepresenting and attacking another poster like you do. But, hey, Jesus loves you!!...
All internal and international travel for EU citizens; it's not possible to enter a EU country without a valid covid passport. Then, depending on the ...
Much of a person's mental and physical behavior is habitual, ie. regular, repeated. So it's no surprise that there is a measure of predictability to i...
Perhaps you don't, but that doesn't mean everyone else is the same as you. If God is a tribalist, and a particular person is a member of the chosen tr...
In jurisdictions where covid passports are mandatory for many activities, the matter of whether it is moral or immoral to refuse to get covid vaccinat...
No. You're just sourgraping. How did it improve?? He became unfit to earn a living! Don't forget that he and his immediate followers lived off the mer...
But not in the case of this pandemic. Nobody gets excused, everyone is put into the same category. Right in the beginning when they first started vacc...
It's a reference to this idiom: "The Only Good Indian is a Dead Indian" https://www.jstor.org/stable/541345#:~:text=%22The%20Only%20Good%20Indian%20Is...
God's standards. Think of God as a capitalist businessman or a tribalist. Now, because he's God, his perspective is all that counts, and if he happens...
