Well, okay then. I had a go at your thought experiment, and I totally get your argument. It's "No, he's omnipotent. He can do anything" in response to...
If by clever you mean dishonest, then yes, they're very clever! Did you read the case of David Reimer? Circumcision gone wrong; so they surgically tur...
I don't think it does, partly because it's nothing I didn't already know, secondly because it's hunter-gatherer tribal culture, and lastly because I'm...
Right so, if you say: ...what do you think the effect is of undermining gender norms by teaching primary school children there are 99 genders, and tak...
Something I went through - as I grew up, was a very profound disenchantment and anger with religion, as I realised that I didn't believe in God, but h...
When you describe Christianity as a shallow paradigm, what do you mean? It is derivative, that's true. But there's also something universal going on. ...
As far as I can tell from some quick googling - this supposed research is based on little more than a disparity in numbers, where an inequity is taken...
The very nature of human understanding is heuristic, while the world is incredibly large and complex. To entirely overcome prejudice - in the literal ...
What pisses me of is that big hedge fund investors tried to destroy this company, and profit from putting people out of work in the real economy. They...
Okay, but I suppose you realise that LaPlace was a strict determinist, and Einstein proved determinism false a decade before Quantum Mechanics. Also, ...
Right, but we're in the realm of QM again where (in my view) the possibility of objective knowledge may be hampered by the lack of existential propert...
I have less disagreement with Khun's argument than the arguments the concept of incommensurability supports. I cannot count the number of times I've h...
Khun. Incommensurability. I get the idea, but I don't accept it. Even the Biblical version of planetary motion admits the fact there's an earth and a ...
The Grunidad won't allow me to read it without registering. I don't want to register. I hate giving out personal information online. That said, I'd ra...
I do want to try and persuade you, so I'll give it a go. It occurs to me that subjectivist philosophy is disgusting. As an objectivist, at least I bel...
I don't buy it. There's an objective reality that exists independently of our experience; and this must necessarily be so, because of the age of the e...
I don't accept this. Was I being too subtle? If you can;t explain yourself - but can only assert your pre-programmed politically correct opinion, save...
Sorry, what? What has become self evident? Gravity? Sure! The idea that QM is the science of the frayed edge of reality, based on a faulty assumption?...
Exactly! But on the other hand, there's this great line from the Big Bang Theory where Sheldon says something like: "I like to think gravity would hav...
I disagree. And not merely because, I don't know if God exists or not. We are assuming the existence of an omnipotent being. You said: But is this a G...
If God could simply redefine what good is, to construe anything he chose to do as good, then benevolence has no meaning. God could rape, torture, kill...
I gladly admit - my understanding of quantum mechanics is a layman's understanding, and the above is more instinct than comprehension. Maybe I just ne...
The point is not omnipotence. But the sum of omnipotence, omniscience and benevolence. If an omnipotent and omniscient being were not benevolent - it ...
I think that's true, but only because quantum mechanics is misconceived. I think the fundamental seat of reality is the causal, macroscopic reality we...
An omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent being cannot do anything; which is to say they could not do anything at all - because they would understand t...
If you assert that gender is culture dependent - how do you know? It's not enough to assert my ignorance - you need to demonstrate it by proving that ...
I quote this line, but refer to all of your argument up to this point. You have misunderstood. Boys have tendencies toward physical spatial play - and...
There's only 70m citizens this side of the pond. And the politics and the philosophy are a little different - over there! But I place the blame for th...
Did you really? Wow. I myself had no idea. You must be psychic or something. Gender dysphoria is a mental disorder according to the DSM-5. In young pe...
I thought we were talking about the traditional blind-spots of the right; based in religiosity and money, both of which are - as I said, matters of fr...
That's an interesting citation. I had thought my brand of ecological thinking was pitched solely against left wing anti-capitalist, misanthropic tree ...
Oh, bubble head, if you don't know why someone who expresses such disrespect for civilisation should be left naked in the woods, go back to your ghost...
When I read someone describe the struggle for human civilisation as "raping the planet" I want to strip them naked and leave them in the woods with no...
That's more of a response than my explanation of purpose - on page one got. "I disagree with the assertion that the earth is over-populated. Rather, t...
I knew someone who believed in the theory of the soul leaving the body, detectable as a weight difference, so much that he had it arranged so that he ...
A polarised political landscape is not my doing, nor subject to my choice. I disagree with the PC line for whatever reason - statistics, developmental...
In part, but it's also environmental. It's nature and nurture; in that a genetic pre-disposition was fostered by an environment in which sexual opport...
I agree. I disagree. It's lefty media who are outraged by him. See Cathy Newman. I disagree again. I don't believe Peterson set out to be a spokesman ...
It is off topic. I'm not at all keen to get into a debate about gender theory; particularly one that states a political position as a fact - without a...
Likely, because it's offensive. I don't think that's a good reason to delete it myself. I think offensive questions have to be asked. Perhaps - "Is ho...
The difference is that right wing incoherence is actually based in the ignorance of historical belief, and is a compromise to accommodate that - in th...
I've seen that heat difference engine approach used - I think it was a program called Grand Designs, where they follow people building their own homes...
Could you be more specific? There are debates, about all sorts of things, but increasingly, the social sciences are being politicised by the left. The...
Is that what you got from that? No. I should clarify. I'm saying that left wing politically correct positions are adopted for the purposes of causing ...
