• There's something (illogical) about morality
    Morality is a general philosophy theorum, what we ought do is not moral, it's literal, but why we ought do, anything, is a general philosophy theory of morality.

    Buy food, to eat.
    Buy food, to eat, it's good.
    Buy food, to eat, to save yourself from starvation.
    Buy food, to eat, to save yourself from starvation, it's good.
    ... Add it's good.

    Truthfully we subtract goodness in commands, in philosophical analysis. Trying to teach someone to be moral may be effective but the word good is a pseudo.
  • The difference between philosophy and science
    yes, perhaps I was too hasty, but nonetheless, a small edict on my point, a similar argument.
  • To What Extent Does Philosophy Replace Religion For Explanations and Meaning?
    Religion merely gives advice about a slow process, philosophy tells it straight.

    I'm a philosopher, I'm just telling you straight.
  • The difference between philosophy and science
    Science is an object protocol(process), philosophy is a subject matter(command).

    Philosophy means that, science means this, both science and philosophy are adverbs.

    I produced a philosophical thesis, i.e. I did that.

    I conducted a scientific experiment, i.e. I did this.

    I'd argue then when a scientific experiment reaches the theorum phase it is philosophy, for this and that together create 'it'(pronoun).
  • Does reality require an observer?
    Mind over matter.

    Reality is a simulation as processed by qualitative and quantitative experience(-r)(though I'd prefer the term 'spirit', I will use this desc.; Consciousness is a facet of something more).

    Simulations do not await qualitative and quantitative analysis. Dead simulations are dead simulations without life.
  • Does reality require an observer?
    Alright.

    No. Simple. You haven't refuted anything.
  • Does reality require an observer?
    how faceless of you.

    Observer's are not required, as said, some worlds are barren - it wouldn't be reality if I observed. Reality is a composite within observers, where realities subserve. Doesn't require me, it happens together.

    There are no un-realities out there waiting for reality-propagates, the process is the mind over matter.

    I guess the issue I have is the demand for worlds to be populated for the means of supporting a reality, it's not that way, we populate worlds for life-quality scales.

    A child is born - why - reality.
    A child is born - why - it's quality of life would be good.

    In any case you're original statement is faceless.
  • Interpreting what others say - does it require common sense?
    You need common sense. If the topic is well written you may generate common sense; if you don't have common sense. You might hear 'possible worlds', and because you have witnessed a few other threads on the subject, it does make sense.

    If I say 'dishevelled spirit', it won't make any sense unless you read an understandable description.

    This is an example of understanding via common sense.

    However, being educated or being taught is a better term, I think you could have put forth a better title.
  • Does systemic racism exist in the US?
    I have been very polite all my life.

    Nothing I do warrants bullying.

    I have also been forethought and determined. I am bullied a lot, usually knuckles down to some dispute of my intellect which is also kept(non egotistical; for the discussion or debate).

    I feel as if there's a problem in our society or schooling which leads to this sort of bullying.

    I can take it but I'm dwindling...

    I was always good to other races too. I enjoy them.
  • Does systemic racism exist in the US?
    You'll be surprised about systemic bullying.existing almost everywhere. Kindness is rare. I am bullied systemically on this very site, which I gathered from threads I make being deleted whilst much lower quality topics are posted by other members without deletion.

    It leaves me with two answers. 1. I'm being bullied. 2. More is expected from me personally.

    Does systemic racism exist in the US? Yes, probably, however, systemic bullying seems to be the norm. If examples being set are this, you can't really complain.

    Brutish moderation is worse than trolling.

    Rude not to troll amongst trolls.
  • Death
    science doesn't realise anything. Science isn't a pronoun.
  • Possible Worlds, God exists.
    Doesn't it equalise itself, God does and doesn't exist? Do you see the paradoxical effect?

    The only worlds where God actually exists are not equalised by an amount of worlds where God doesn't.

    So how does God exist, if equally he doesn't?
  • Philosophy/Religion
    Anatomy, survey of mind, and Humanities.
    Psychology, study of mind, and the Sciences.
    Philosophy, prospect of mind, and the Arts.

    It seems to have evolved in this order, that's what I'm saying. I don't see how it's wrong - survey to study to prospect. Philosophy is opposite to Art because it's a mind inwards outwards whereas Art is body outwards inwards. The same round about logic applies to the others. Psychology is outwards to inwards, and anatomy is inwards. You'll find that science is inwards to outwards(what you can do inside with what's outside of the mind), and finally humanities is outwards.

    Perhaps looks like gibberish but on deep analysis and inspection you'll maybe find meaning.
  • What is it that gives symbols meaning?
    the words aren't his art, they belong to the state/country.
  • What is it that gives symbols meaning?
    Imagine if we both had a painting of the Mona Lisa. I give it to you, you give it to me. You can try see what I meant by it, I can you.

    However, I do not input meaning into the frame, that is an ordinance.

    You were able to input meaning relative to my intended communication based on your sense of the situation, but you weren't able to extract any meaning from the painting other than what it originally expressed, plus your sense of the situation(hence whirlwinds of alphabets and dictionary terminology).
  • What is it that gives symbols meaning?


    As he is writing, but not afterward(writers read as they write; meaning isn't word but mind side). Any intended meaning comes out in the greater discussion and is restored in the best or worst possible way.
  • What is it that gives symbols meaning?
    The writer and reader both contribute to discussion but the reader is the one who inputs meaning(i.e. meaning isn't extracted). Think of English Language: letters, words and phrases. You have whirlwinds of alphabets and dictionary terminology in your mind and when you read -^ this text, you attribute phonology and your own vocabulary to it.
  • What is insanity?
    Insanity is like that state where social competition gets the better of you and you begin to shout(at each other/at the wall). In this state you lack mental control and you often think insanely. Call it being disturbed.
  • Simulation reality
    don't howl at me, you bafoon, or is it baboon? Lots of monkey talk, ensues...
  • Possible Worlds, God exists.
    theMadFool.

    Okay I will do that from now on.
  • Possible Worlds, God exists.
    What you suggest is that there is an atomic world where each configuration of a grain of sand in every possible desert is actualised in possible worlds. Clearly not mate. On the other hand there could be a paradox of all these worlds, in a holographic light. Even then, it seems a bit too stark. I would suggest thinking any world is possible, but only those we demand are made.
  • Neither science nor logic can disprove God?
    the universe may not be what meets the eye, planets may be simulated there and as off, stars may be lights in the sky(given that if we reach them something is simulated).
  • What is possible will eventually occur in the multiverse
    Why so? There's a lot of what but no why, in your post.
  • Simulation reality
    considering we came from Apes, there can only be one monkey, in that context.

    It certainly isn't me.

    I appreciate you being open and that about your art-form, machine.

    I'm sat here alone with lots of p-zombies, some of them are passive-aggressive literally faking to be me.

    It's not good art, you won't be remembered(I appriciate 'you can't help it').
  • Emotional Health vs Mental Health: What’s the difference?
    pain is a distraction, misdirection, beguiling. People who say they like pain are still distracted, misdirected or beguiled by it.

    Mental pain is negative, physical pain is negative.

    It's good to sew up a bleeding arm to prevent pain. Preaching only a good side to negativity is a good way to lose an arm sitting there bleeding out like a idiot.
  • Emotional Health vs Mental Health: What’s the difference?
    used frequently in workplaces to talk about the mental

    This usage is incorrect usage.

    How are emotions such as sadness, madness or gladness, mental phenomenon.

    Though you may say it's shorthand, the word emotion is used, and given that, it must have some correlation to its meaning.

    Emotions are mental and physical phenomena and if their health is the subject matter then we take into account mental and physical health.
  • What is possible will eventually occur in the multiverse
    Not necessarily, there may not be actual, atoms involved in possible worlds, maybe most of it will be holographic.
  • Possible Worlds, God exists.
    I don't think all possible worlds exist(perhaps in a paradox).

    There is randomness, not only technicality; not every world ends up being made depending on supply and demand.

    The thought of possible worlds is the thought of a paradox, an illusionary phenomenon.

    Are there any actual worlds where God exists?

    Though, I may be wrong, there may be a creative entity that creates all possible worlds for the hell of it.
  • Emotional Health vs Mental Health: What’s the difference?
    Mental health is about cessation of sensory data, or 'mental pain'. Not feeling, as oppose to feeling, pain.

    Emotional health is a different category, affected by physical and mental pains.

    Emotions are not feelings, emotions are felt, arising from both the mental and physical.

    For ex. In your post you describe cognitive hygiene, where improper cleanliness would lead to bad mental health - or physical health; bad performance/bad performance.
  • Simulation reality
    Cept one of us.
  • How does a fact establish itself as knowledge?
    Well, all things are atomic, even the brain, so facts are atom-fold; the mind is capable of scanning atomic objects.
  • How does a fact establish itself as knowledge?
    There is knowledge and then the order of knowledge as presupposed by mind. Otherwise, how do minds relate to knowledge, and how is knowledge, what it is?

    Minds route data from facts through the order of knowledge which leaves a perfect or imperfect signature of each fact.

    What's your knowledge of ice? You would then say what signature you have for ice; concise or not.

    The signatory is mind, who scribes data through in order around its presupposed knowledge-cast, different things produce different signatures by taking different routes.
  • Philosophy/Religion
    I think that philosophy and religion are at two ends, there are theories(in philosophy), and people who have faith in those theories(in religion). I'm not calling it a match made in heaven - just a match. Religion isn't philosophy's opposite.

    Psychology and Science - I believe these are opposite.
    Philosophy and Art - I believe these are opposite, and an evolution of the former.

    Are Theists an art-form?(Haha.. seriously.)
  • Philosophy/Religion
    I like reading your posts, you're clearly very intellectual. I agree with your association.
