If we assume that life isn't unique to humans, then the probability of it arising isn't infinitesimally small.

I feel the vibe.

Somehow I feel this is relevant: https://i.imgur.com/WMWGT0x.png

Someone stop cutting the onions.

Cool. Economic history sure sounds interesting. I majored in economics too. And, yes, so it seems to me really paradoxical how US interests are misali...

Yes.

A cemetery....

Thank you for offering your deep and edifying knowledge on the subject. Are you by any chance a history teacher or more with government? Curiosity ask...

I understand your cynicism; but, I think your neglecting femininity in your analysis.

Insatiable guy. I was looking forward to him starting a thread... Guess not.

He is unlovable.

:death:

Thanks. The follow up question deriving from the above is how close are Iran and Pakistan, and Russia must be watching from the sidelines but have no ...

Wallows quietly.

Does research show it's comparable in efficacy as normal human eye to eye dialogue? Curious...

Wasn't that @"Postmodern Beatnik", @"Michael"? I know he taught at CUNY.

Wallows quietly...

That communication is more effective in person. I suppose that is the obvious conclusion here?

Nice. I hope you're present if he decides to stop by.

Yes, as someone with qualifications and such you'd be a natural choice. As far as my role, I asked the questions that would be presented to Professor ...

Baden, do you want to take over the reins here? As a teacher, you seem more competent on the issue of etiquette and stuff like that. Jamalrob, gave me...

I think if not abolish then at least entertain what has been said by other folk 100x over? A newbie might get more out of a 5 minute read on Wikipedia...

:cheer:

OK, So, in another thread in a faraway land, it was postulated that the esteemed Professor, Massimo Pigliucci of CUNY, will be asked a prepared 3-4 qu...

Oh, and given this rather pathetic thread of mine, I ask that someone assist me in moving this discussion over to Amity's thread about the details of ...

Ok, will work on it.

Yes, give us your reasoning for deriving an is from an ought here if you would. Regards.

I voted close but with a caveat. I think some template should be produced of existing arguments for and against God. Like the ontological argument, or...

Yes, upwards of 10k though.

You know what? I'm going to reach out to Massimo and ask him if he can answer a list of some 3-5 questions prepresented to him. He's very active on Fa...

So, I'll readdress the following: Prescriptions of what exactly? This strikes me as the same effort made by Frege and Russell in the Principia Mathema...

Hmm. :blush:

Very interesting article. Here's my takeaway: “Psychiatry sees individual patients, otherkin sees a community and a safe space. Where medicine has see...

If it gets you to the top of the mountain I'd say it's a good map.

Afaik, same shit.

Uhh, intentionality for starters??? No, that's just plain bullshitting. Lying requires one to know what the truth is and hide it from plain sight when...

It's a stretch about Adolf, but I can see some parallels. Here's the Overtone Window broken down. I still think you Brits have it much better than wha...

Your Overtone Window has shifted significantly. I thought Third Way politics worked best for the UK, what happened?

Please expand on this. No, it's more like a snowball effect in that it feeds on itself. In my case, being an American, I feel as though irreparable da...

Then you haven't read much from the pragmatists', have you?

And they say the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis ain't true... bullshit!

A large degree. Though, we've had several interactions for me to determine that you're not a troll or insincere in your engagement on these topics. Ye...

I shall set the roof on fire, the philosopher exclaimed!

If I am right about this, ducks or geese are the very few animals that can steal eggs from heterosexual partners and form bonds that if broken can act...

Underappreciated virtue ethicists of care, such as Nel Noddings (she will make a departure soon to the other world) or Carol Gilligan really make phil...

I want a feminist speaker to make an appearance for a change.

Yes, we do have a reputation system here. It's a secret though. Maybe Bean figured that one out.

Could have been our friendly god spelled backwards, ol @"Bitter Crank".

Heh, I'm a wallowing pig, @"Banno" is some combination of goat-chimp-man, and then we have @"unenlightened" who rather has the dual characteristic of ...
