Ok, i acknowledge my existence as absolute, that's a given. I acknowledge yours... that's a bit harder, but i do it too, because i can't think of my mind being so twisted as to create you as a figment of my imagination (joking, really :lol:). But these are the old phylosophical examples. Something m...

I know i wouldn't react well... not by social inputs in me, but because... it's like when you reveal a deep secret to someone you trust, and then you find out that now that secret i known by some more people. You give a person the regard, the prize of your intimacy, and then that person simply gives...

You didn't seem to understand it, when you insulted the scientific work of past times. My whole point was to underline that objectivity is not at all absolute, as the previous discussion seemed to imply (not with you). Our objective, scientific knowledge, is quite certain, but not absolute by any ac...

Poorly thought out? Excuse me, but caloric was a very good theory. Very good science, having in account the experimental methods they had available. Caloric theory explained observational facts pretty well, and only had a couple of weak spots. Same goes for ether, electric fluid or flogiston. Maybe ...

Anthony, sorry to break it to you but: Libertarianism =/= Capitalism Objectivism =/= Capitalism They both defend capitalism as the way to do economy, but the capitalism is merely an economic theory to remove all barriers to free trade and free enterprise. Nothing to do with social and individual rig...

I am, instead, interested in knowing how slavery isn't viable in a capitalistic society. How 14-hour labour days aren't viable in a capitalistic society. I always thought they had more to do with the higher moral standards developed by the higher classes what produced the destruction of slavery, and...

In the Vth century BC, there was a man in Elea called Zeno. Zeno was very intelligent and his thought was very acute. Since he was pretty well off, he could spend time thinking, and so, he was a philosopher. The way he saw it, movement, and hence space, were absurd concepts. They made no sense, math...

BTW, I define “existence†like this: 1) something exists (physically) if I can test its properties directly with my senses (touch, sight, smell etc) Adendum: or if its properties can be tested repeatably in laboratory conditions, in experiments whose interpretations are consensuated by the scie...

I am not talking about triggers. And you are not talking about love. You are talking about a process that is quite physiological. The readying to fulfill our reproductive task. But what about love itself? Not the reproductive passion, but the willingness to self-sacrifice? Much of our behaviour is l...

Let me say i am against death penalty. But Saddam's execution won't be justice as much as it is a political necessity. And it is plenty of justice. I mean, most of the people who are justly sentenced to death did way less than he did. But it is a political necessity in order to avoid that he could b...

Byakko, if USA problem is at all similar to Spain, murderers and drug dealers are the people with less problems to get in: they have all their papers and visas perfectly in order.
