perhaps you could explain to me what protophilosophers and polethics are? :)

If light is a spectrum within a greater spectrum, isn't that the way to look at ourselves?

bless you :)

thank you. I will

then we'll continue another time :)

thank you for explaining this. food for contemplation :)

Your answer is the reason I started this discussion. Thank you. It means the world to me.

No, I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me

sure, but I need some more time

This wasn't always the case. And Sigmund Freud, the founder of modern psychology had some very dubious theories about women. He viewed them as utterly...

I wonder if we really need a key. What if everything is already unlocked?

Thank you. Food for contemplation

To me it's about not blaming my parents anymore. Because it's really the question whether they could have done any better.

probably because I'm dreaming that I'm awake? I don't know

Now we're talking. Why do you use such an outdated mystical symbol as your avatar? Mysticism in the 21st century has moved way beyond that. Dragons do...

Of course you'd always rather feel at home. Feelings or emotions are the determining factor for happiness.

I do understand better what this means. In my understanding it is philosophy that paved the way for science by undermining fixed religious beliefs. Do...

That's just a reflection of how you feel. How do you know if the community despises it? How do you know if I think philosophy is futile?

I'm not familiar with the new physics. But the theory that everything has a vibration and an energy seems plausible. Even the theory that everything i...

It's impossible for me to determine whether he did or not. And it's unclear to me if that's even possible. For example, I looked into Flat Earth theor...

What Descartes did was groundbreaking at the time. It takes courage to doubt everything at the risk of going completely insane. It paved the way for a...

I've had similar 'prophetic' experiences. Though I'm not really eager to call myself a prophet since most of my predictions seem to fail. Anyway, dete...

I don't know. In the Netherlands weapons are criminalized. There are specific rules for them. You can for example have a katana in your house as decor...

no comment in a online one-on-one conversation seems a little pointless. In a online group conversation it is a sign that you actually care.

I think there always have been racial tensions, or at least for a long time in human history. What scares me is modern warfare. Including the dark web...

true. Environmental influences on our DNA. I'd say part of me is the same and part of me is someone new. But it also differs from day to day how I fee...

No. But not being attracted to a certain race does sound like racism

Here in the Netherlands racism has been a global debate ever since our national children's festival suddenly was branded racist. It's like saying that...

to me that is the definition of mysticism: embracing the fact that you don't know what you don't know

I think people know a lot in the West. Or anywhere on the planet for that matter. It's just that we sometimes don't apply that knowledge all too well....

the real question is why brilliant people have pokéballs tattooed on their arms.....

agree. Yet only half of the planet have access to the internet and a lot of them don't speak English (China). I think if everyone was on the internet ...

asians have created different models of the energy system of the body. and they generally feel that that energy should not just go to the brain. they ...

Perhaps the role of philosophy in the 21st century is not that obvious to me. Perhaps I am traumatized by the way it was forced upon me as a means of ...

this 'philosophy came up with science' seems to be a very popular idea. and if you're a great philosopher you could probably win every argument about ...

I could write you a poem..... No seriously, I'm just frustrated with the fact that we still have weapons of mass destruction on earth. Creating a bett...

"Atheism is delusional" I guess that depends on how you define atheism. To me it's about criticizing blind faith and bad religion. Ironically Jesus Ch...

Forgive me for my bluntness, but it does feel like a waste. A waste of intellect if the most intelligent people in the world don't feel the need to im...

Oh, it's not that bad. I'm an artist, I tend to over dramatize things :). But thanks for welcoming me! I'm doing the Crash Course Philosophy on YouTub...

that is amazing! Very environmentally friendly. Are you enjoying your retirement?

you need to have connections. And a good opportunity. And philosophy isn't mainstream like you mentioned. When technology improves, hopefully there'll...

Well, I won't go all Freud on you :D. What I know from scientists I've spoken to is that they generally don't give any credit to anyone except for the...

It's interesting to see that the social sciences like sociology and psychology are still not entirely being taken seriously. But you've given very sol...

I'm a bit confused. I need a moment to think about this.

Yes, that was true back in the days. But I argue that with inventions such as the microscope and telescope, the role of philosophy has been pushed int...

hmm interesting. I was brought up with the idea that philosophy is about having a satisfactory experience between all interlocutors. One day at the di...

which accusation exactly are you referring to?

Hey, thank you. That's so kind. Being ignored feels awful indeed! What kind of engineering do you do, if I may ask? I agree, the mussels are way bette...

I agree. Critical thinking at university was discouraged and dissuaded. Just blindly follow what the professor teaches. I wouldn't write my own opinio...

I don't agree with the idea that all scientific theories are elaborations of philosophical systems. Simply because a lot theories are based on evidenc...
