Sounds like your a naturalist. Thats kind of what the book "Sapiens" is getting at.
May 13, 2019 at 04:04
Some speculate when the human population on earth reached the millions and cities formed there was a need for organized religion. The book Sapiens by ...

wow. I don't know what to say to this. I don't know how i feel about determinism. It can be a good thing to consider or it can be a bad thing to consi...
May 13, 2019 at 02:36
I'm not sure. I believe it is only justified to judge someone on the basis of the resources that nurture/nature has provided that person. I'm hoping f...

With out consciessness truth can't be figured out. I believe truth should be built off simple concepts and simple concepts are added together to form ...
May 12, 2019 at 23:01
I'm not sure i know how to answer this correctly. I follow a specific religion or belief system. It seems your guess is as good as mine. I personally ...

In regards to the second quote, we can only hold ourselves accountable to our own notions of reality and in addition to that we should hold dear what ...

we should use scientific principles in our reasoning in my opinion. However i do agree that there is alot of evidence (as Alcoholic anonymous calls it...
May 12, 2019 at 20:21
elegantly simplistic. However you can't expect those in power to just relinquish control of their power with out something in return. Power can only b...

Truth should be based on reoccurring incidents. We can't hold ourselves accountable for what we haven't found to be true based on reoccurring events a...

Have you ever read "a brief history of time" by Stephen Hawkings? What i get from this is we should not assume there is no reason for existence and we...
May 12, 2019 at 20:00
i would agree with that for the most part.
May 12, 2019 at 19:41
thats fine. Mostly subjects such as this are conjecture. We can't assume we've hit the point in human history that satisfies our own conception of the...

Yeah, why not? what are the consequences of just making stuff up as you go along. Read my profile if you like. Click on my name if you like. No wrong ...
May 12, 2019 at 19:08
just speculation. Science can't answer all of our questions with our current understanding of scientific evidence. At any given point in time we have ...

One thing that people forget is that the brain operates on particles small than the electron. (Quantum particles). Evolutionary process was not limite...
May 12, 2019 at 18:36
Yeah i would say the book "Sapiens" by Noah Harrari attests to this and various other books on evolution.
May 12, 2019 at 14:48
i don't feel this basic proposition contradicts my chosen religion/philosophy/belief system.
May 12, 2019 at 14:31
I would argue consciousness is the product of a central all spanning consciousness. Each person and animal is a subset (keyword subset) of the central...
May 12, 2019 at 14:30

Thats interesting. Where did you get that from? As in I assume thats some form of New Age belief?
May 07, 2019 at 00:41
