You need an additional assumption to decide the question. It is not immediately clear whether the answer is true or false. Another example: Does the t...
What I am actually saying is that there are issues that are not subject to binary logic like opinions of different people. But there are also problems...
But everything depends on definitions. You wrote it yourself with Sorite's paradox. What is the use of insisting on binary logic if I cannot apply it ...
You can also define that free will prevails when one has the feeling to decide freely. If there is coffee and tea in my kitchen and I decide for the t...
It depends on how you define free will. If you ask your friend if he wants coffee or tea and he chooses coffee, do you say: "That wasn't free will, be...
Good point. But almost every action has disadvantages for someone (animals included). How do you want to offset these disadvantages? Or in other words...
Points 1 and 3 seem logical to me, but point 2 does not. Why is gang rape wrong, for example? Some have fun and there is only one victim. In the sense...
How do you know that X is wrong? That's just asking the question shifted. Example: Is it right or wrong for a resource-poor country to invade a resour...
What we should or should not do cannot be derived from being. Since determinism is part of being, it has no influence on ought. And the free will has ...
If death has no properties, what valuation does it have? How much suffering must someone experience in order to make it "worthwhile" to kill himself? ...
I don't think it matters to punish or to treat offenders. The only important thing is that offenders never harm society again, if possible. As far as ...
All respect. Rare that someone admits that someone else is right. Was a good try, but no one will ever solve the theodicy question. It's very simple: ...
I don't know any religion that fulfils that. It would be a kind of Hinduism without gods or Buddhism with souls. What I'm very interested in, what wou...
If you suffer 1 year and are happy for 9 years, then you have 10% suffering. If you suffer for 1 year and are happy for 99 years, then you have 1% suf...
This infinity is never reached because it is only a potential infinity. We cannot be in the moment of "infinity" and therefore never have experienced ...
That is not the question. The questioning presupposes goodwill. Then the existence of suffering is illogical. If God is not benevolent, then it is a d...
It seems to me that the formulation of the laws of nature as differential equations leaves room for several solutions. They are formulated from one po...
It's not about the triviality of you not being me or anyone else, it's about whether you COULD be someone else in a hypothetical world. So I can imagi...
It is not true that you always get out what you put in. The proof that sqrt(2) is irrational starts with assuming it is rational. I don't put anything...
I wanted to warm up my cold thread again and ask whether the existence of an immaterial instance can be regarded with my consideration now as proved. ...
The example of the stone may not be good because we cannot watch. Imagine someone in the desert praying for it to rain. It will then rain or not rain ...
That is in the nature of things, that is philosophy. Yes, I'm just making assumptions. I assume that an animal feels pain when you hit it. You have to...
I assume that the "Qualia law" (matter->Qualia) is a law of nature similar to the other laws of nature, thus steady and time-independent. Like Newton'...
After all, I am a victim of my own arguments. That qualia can have no effect on the matter is logical, since every effect entails a contribution in a ...
There is an infinitesimally narrow gap of realization if someone has EXACTLY the inner configuration of oneself. Then it is to be assumed that the equ...
Exactly. I cannot know it. But I can accept it as plausible that I am not the exception in the universe. We are faced with the amazing situation of no...
It is the other way to eliminate qualia. However, this would mean that ethically speaking, any genocide would be the same as breaking stones. I think ...
Epiphenomenalism is true and we can prove it: If there would be a mind effect, this effect could be captured by the physicists, they will eat everythi...
I would actually phrase it a little differently. For me, time is the display of an imaginary clock. After all, it is not possible to place a clock ins...
