Unseen replied to the topic Is spirituality minus the spirit still spiritual? in the forum Atheism 5 days, 12 hours ago
For many, the problem presented by The Woke (those who interpret what is permitted and what must be destroyed) lies in the the hubris of thinking they have a Pipeline to the Truth and a Right to Interpret and Judge others’ actions and expressions and, that done, to level extrajudicial punishments (boycotts, demonstrations at their place of…[Read more]

Hi @davis… OK, I didn’t really get that. Who did Simon think I was? I suppose I appreciate the condolences. I’m sure I’ll need them some day. Tell me, what happened to Unseen? He seems to have been replaced by a Republican doppleganger. Now he thinks that scientific debate happens on YouTube and Twitter (and Lord help us, Faceboo…

Ideas are ideas and what you or I or anyone else says is beside the point. The point is what I said.
BTW, don’t interpret anything I post as an indication of what I believe one way or the other, sincerely or insincerely. Trusting what I say to be sincere is very beside the point. Whether what I say is a sincere expression, or not, has…[Read more]

Right? This is so UNlike Unseen! It’s like we’ve never seen him before 😂

Unseen I never thought you’d turn into a vaccine sceptic. What the fuck?
My thoughts exactly 😂 😂 😂

Belle Rose replied to the topic The Spare Heir and his Wife… in the forum Small Talk 2 months ago
Harry is doing something about the unfairness (and amongst the royal family) injustice in how he was/is treated. He is taking control of his life, looking out for his family (and putting his wife and children first), building up his estate and not taking shit from anyone
Thank you! I’ve been fascinated by what him and his wife are doing a…[Read more]

Politicians do have to serve those who can get them reelected, because the #1 purpose of any elected official is to get elected and to get reelected. On those rare occasions when a politician is honest with the electorate, it often costs them the next election. They lie to us because we want them to do so.

@Davis et al who reject the idea that Putin wants a buffer zone. Mearsheimer is an actual expert on Russia and Ukraine.

Thank you for your OPINION.
The fact remains that if Canada or Mexico were hostile powerful military sources that regularly held war exercises right across the US’s northern or southern borders, we’d be looking to put a patch of neutral ground between us. If we got some resources along the way, the US has never turned such windfalls down.

Unseen replied to the topic Are our attitudes toward pedos actually endangering our children? in the forum Science 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Can you explain please why you’re so hung up on forcing me to accept predeterminism as a consequence of determinism?
Let’s for a moment assume you are right and determinism actually means predeterminism, does that ipso facto rescue free will somehow? Or are you thinking it’s an idea so reprehensible that people will ignore the facts and…[Read more]

Some observations about your objections to Dr. Hossenfelder on free will.
One is responsible for what one does intentionally, no matter how those intentions are generated. This isn’t some sort of fantasy. This is how we treat responsibility every day. Unless someone acted at gunpoint or their act was pure accident, they are responsible…[Read more]

Plus, success is relative to how the individual defines it. One might decide to help the homeless get off the street, for which the standard of success isn’t how much money one makes in doing so.

Joe Rogan is one of the best interviewers out there despite being a comedian and ex-wrestler. He’s very smart. Using a Socratic approach, he has deconstructed many a blowhard, Jordan Peterson included. You rattled off a litany of problems (the flaming tap water relates to fracking, but fracking problems are much more under control). Most…[Read more]

@davis – it’s true that abused women often say that psychological abuse is worse than the physical.
@autumn – we seem to be talking about a failure of empathy. I think empathy is a product of what we perceive and how we feel about it. Empathic concern or compassion depends on how much we approve of the other person. If we don’t – then co…[Read more]

While Mexico is passing more and more liberal legislation, states are banning the teaching of slavery brutality, abortions, discussing the fact that gay people exist and penalising corporations that disagree with their policies.
I just want to live somewhere in peace where I can blend in and be left alone. Mexico or New Mexico are the only…[Read more]

You rightly point out that we have a monopoly problem. Amazon has become a monopoly primarily by having a better business model that led to them becoming indispensable. It’s too large and ubiquitous and responsible legislators who don’t take bribes from lobbyists would probably have broken Amazon up by now.
To my knowledge, Elon Musk…[Read more]

@davis The Anarchist Cookbook is banned in the United States? No, you can even pick it up on Amazon. I’m not arguing in favor of pedophilia, which should be legal in practice. I do think that NAMBLA shouldn’t be presenting their arguments in favor of buggery. I’m opposed to slavery but I can’t agree with outlawing discuss…
