valid point. Restoring ecosystems will help with both problems. Consider what you can do to restore the planet.

Research in my country says that about one third of the people believe in something. We call it 'somethingism'. Perhaps that resembles vagueness?

right answer: studying wrong answer: masturbation

I don't believe in trilemmas :lol:

I've been thinking about an infinite amount of Big Bangs creating an infinite amount of Multiverses all existing at the same time. Is there any way to...

True. It can be described as a circle or cycle. And there's a consciousness that permeates everything. Last night in meditation I zoomed out as to per...

hey. I'll get back to you. The discussion is taking a toll. Talk to you later

I can only find part 2 of 'A rough Trade' by Martin Amis. It's fascinating though. Really well-written. Makes you wonder

I don't understand. There's not always a link between marketing and pornography.

Very good answer. Personally I believe in ahimsa, non-violence so a lousy soldier is still better than a top-rate murderer in my opinion. But it seems...

This weird culture has caused women to believe I was not romantically interested because of their looks or even race. My friends suggested I should sa...

I will get back to many of the things you all have written and my sincerest thanks for it. I just want to leave you today with this thought: What feel...

This article is very good and I recommend anyone to read it. Thanks for sharing it

No, you're not. But I don't always know how to make evolution and morality rhyme. Need to think this through.

I'm not that pessimistic. Neither about fast food nor pornography. I never bought food from the school cantina (talking early 00's here). Mom made san...

But isn't philosophy about discussing what those good and bad things are?

Because things that feel good short-term can cause damage long-term.

thanks!

Through philosophy. And I have a lot of stuff for contemplation now, lol

but do you think the good outweighs the bad? Because I honestly don't know

my family survived prison camps and an exodus, so no, not for me. Perhaps for someone else

Thank you so much!

They day we send people off-world because of bigotry, I'll hold you accountable.

philosophy ? 1

As an artist I've always been very aware of this dilemma. Where do you draw the line between fact and fiction? Growing up with Van Gogh, I told myself...

I understand your point. That's probably why this got redirected to the Lounge. Thinking about how I can rephrase it to make it suitable for general d...

I think it's a personal experience. To me happiness equals love and therefore love equals happiness.

thank you

You're welcome. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share

That is why sometimes it's best to say: I don't know

To me the cage is the Iron Cage as described by Max Weber. It's the unfreedom caused by modern society. And the birds are humans. That's why one most ...

I live in the Netherlands and have had to deal with a lot of racism and xenophobia from a young age one. One time it got so bad I got really scared an...

yes, I find that the relevant question. Is happiness possible without love? And what is the difference between the two? :)

Perhaps. As I poet I just like to play with words to make life more beautiful. I never really studied it! Is it worth studying?

No I don't. I should have been more specific, went a little bit off topic.

I want to thank everyone for your responses. It has filled my heart with hope. From now on I won't be commenting on this post anymore. I'm moving on t...

same!

lol it didn't die. I was just contemplating it :P

So, to respond to your question about vibrations and energies. I do see existence in terms of spirits and energies. They are everywhere and they inter...

no worries!

Just wondering, how do you accept an answer and get the 'view answer' box?

I don't know! I never saw intuition like that. But for sure it isn't that black and white. That is the problem with language. It narrows down too much...

Whether it's happened in humans or not, gene-editing with CRISPR is happening and it shows how humans defy nature with the use of technology. For bett...

I think it's easier to see existence as an infinite cycle. Why would you make things so hard on yourself :)

That was my point. That if we would think in terms of spectrums instead of black and white, humans would be a lot happier. I do agree that philosophy ...

That's why I don't drive!

Because until now people don't believe you can build a society based on intuition. And thís is exactly the difference between science and philosophy. ...

Isn't a cycle or circle infinite by definition?

To me it's a singularity that sparked the Big Bang, which created the cosmos. Ultimately the universe will collapse in itself and become a singularity...

I understand the dilemma. Perhaps there is a certain beauty to the way Americans are ignorant. And I wish the word didn't have such a negative connota...
