Looks like it says happy bitchday. Don’t know what that’s about. https://i.postimg.cc/C5Z3rrWQ/praxis5173-Photo-realistic-real-looking-photo-a-group-o...

I was referring to instances where the free market fails to provide basic services to rural communities where demand isn’t great enough to make a prof...

In a free market, where demand is not great enough no supply will be, uh... supplied.

Afraid you're right. For about a year now I've been using AI generated photos for cheap graphic design work instead of stock photos.

Didn’t look real at first glance. I’m getting too used to AI crap. :grimace:

I don't know about being out of place, but the colors in the first example are way too subtle, especially in the era of screens where different screen...

Trump’s strategy is to pressure other nations into negotiations that prioritize U.S. interests. You think that's what most people want?

Millions of Americans peacefully protested the other day in the Hands Off event. Also, Bernie and AOC‘s oligarchy tour is nonviolent. The survey indic...

If you’re suggesting that my post lacks substance I’ll have you know that the image is a meditation on freedom, violence, and authenticity in a world ...

Trump convinced Americans to elect him and Elon. No need to make us any stupider. China today… https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/98031...

Seems like you wouldn’t make these cuts if you were interested in revitalizing American industries.

I just glanced the article and posted a link as a reference for the Mar-a-Lago accord. Was wondering what others thought about it. It seems like if th...

Some believe the U.S. is strategically positioned to leverage tariff-induced chaos in order to push for a "Mar-a-Lago Accord" that could simultaneousl...

Once upon a time, a young monk, eager to understand truth, approached his master and asked, "Master, what is the nature of reality?" The master pointe...

I initially wrote: “Isn't the "bold move" about tax cuts (strongly favoring the 1%) and not the debt?”

The government was funded by tariffs before income tax. That was before social security, Medicare, and other programs. It would certainly be a bold mo...

A bold move on the national debt? https://i.postimg.cc/XvFr1pWs/temp-Image-Iu6-LKt.avif Btw, I haven't heard of a proposal to eliminate taxes for thos...

:lol: That’s what he was promising before being elected.

Isn't the "bold move" about tax cuts (strongly favoring the 1%) and not the debt?

Did you learn that on social media?

Most of NOS’s posts anyway.

Electing Trump was an act of sabotage?

I don't think I've ever considered the idea of a "moral force" before. It's an interesting concept, but after reflecting on it, I don't see how it pro...

Both religious and non-religious people can have faith in a moral foundation. It makes no difference.

How do you know that?

Still trying to wrap my head around someone pretending to care about distorting reality while relentlessly shrilling for a politician.

If mattering is a human concern and there are no humans in existence anywhere, how could what God says matter?

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said the “retaliatory animus” of Trump’s executive order against a similar law firm targeted is “clear on its face” a...

I can’t imagine the reality for someone who has shrilled so relentlessly over the years for any politician, much less for one like Trump.

Your reality involves searching for things like videos of weird individuals inserting their fingers in their ass and wiping them on Teslas, which you ...

Fixed.

MAGA Republicans advocating for American interests in a nutshell.

There's a significant difference between faith in authority and forced obedience (imposition). I tend to think that enlightenment values would more or...

When can we expect to see his tax records?

No specific "atheistic ideology" was mentioned in your initial claim that atheistic ideologies are equally as dangerous as religious ideologies so I m...

Worse, he’s hip deep in Taoism. :gasp:

That wasn’t exactly your original point. You initially said that faith in God or some atheistic ideology (humanism, secularism, rationalism, or existe...

Hitler used religious rhetoric so how can that be counted as atheistic? Marxism is an economic and political ideology, and socialism isn’t incompatibl...

Can you show any instances humanism, secularism, rationalism, or existentialism being as equally dangerous as religions have been throughout history?

The Abraham story pushes the idea that unity with God is achieved through blind obedience. Unity with God is the carrot and obedience is the goal. Sho...

What I meant about being obvious is that if a person and God are separate there will be fear and doubt, and if there’s no separation, if a person is ‘...

Don’t leaves us hanging.

Why would anyone need to read a book about something so obvious?

The oddest thing is why anyone with faith would object to the claim that The Binding of Isaac is essentially about obedience. If you truly believe the...

If I lived in Phili I’d go paint it, assuming the country workers are as slow as the ones around here. https://whyy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/pla...

You brought up the practice of interpreting religious doctrine. The Myanmar monks are an example of how useful that practice can be, and of how drasti...

Speaking of interpreting works to work for you, I recently learned of the 2017 genocide in Myanmar. It was only a little surprising that Buddhist monk...

Unparalleled profundity.
