First, I have no problem with any of your posts.

But a friendly suggestion--it could help others understand your comment if you included even a sentence or two from Heidegger.

Without a clear telos, the idea of “right” or “wrong” goes out the window. — Paulm12

Most morality is practical. We want our streets and nation to be safe.

On the other hand, the legal system cannot (and perhaps should not) allow or disallow speech on the basis of its consistency or obedience to the religious teachings each member claims to represent. — Paulm12

I never said nor implied that.

Gosh. Insightful.

On the contrary. It was the Church who was in favor of the separation between Church and State. The Church had good foresight: this separation is actually in the Church's favor. It's because of this formal separation that the State (and outsiders to the Church) are not allowed to interfere in matters of religion. — baker

I have no idea why you're posting that to me.

Irrelevant. — baker

Absolutely relevant.

Then he'll complain about his right to freedom of expression of religion is being denied. — baker

Jesus said pray in private. We know the agenda of those who pray in public--nothing to do with the teaching of Jesus.

The point of the PI is to show that there is not one logic — Antony Nickles

Agree. The P.I. is not a refutation of the Tractatus so much as but an extension. Logic always has a context.

which is either fixed by some constant property throughout time or it’s all chaos and nothing is constant. — Benj96

There are constants or patterns. But those rules can change in time. The universe is evolving.

Excellent philosophical argument!
And great joke! — Alkis Piskas

Indeed.

What are your thoughts on immortality and which type/ variation appeals or disturbs you the most? — Benj96

I never understood the desire for immortality. If you have 80 years and think something is undone, they you wasted your 80 years.

If you need a dictionary, then you are not ready to do philosophy.

Ethics and aesthetics are one. (6.421)

This is true. A lot of people talking about art should pay attention.

I don't understand your point. — Harry Hindu

Not surprised.

Do you understand what a self-refuting argument is? — Bartricks

Yes, I do.

So you understand, then, that an exclusively evolutionary story about our development isn't correct? — Bartricks

I understand you are saying it. I see you presenting no evidence.

Do you actually understand the OP? — Bartricks

It was very easy to understand.

who the hell educated you people? — Bartricks

No one agrees with you.

Goodnight, sweet troll.

You made the inane observation that the theory of evolution is just a description of a processs. — Bartricks

It is true. It is standard.

Bit literal aren't we. I imagine you get stuck at stop signs a lot. Now: address the OP. — Bartricks

I did. Clearly you cannot respond.

Show me how by addressing the argument in the OP. Dad. — Bartricks

I am not your father.

So, you think there's no reason to think it's true? Read the OP again and try and understand what I'm arguing. — Bartricks

You have the knowledge of an average college freshman. Show some modesty and do philosophy.

any case for evolution by natural selection presupposes that there are reasons to believe things — Bartricks

No. Evolution is just a description of a process. No need to believe anything.

Because reality can be more absurd than any fiction you can imagine.
Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.
Take advantage of this before freedom of expression is also suppressed! — gikehef947

Biden reelected.

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, — Matthew 6:5-6

Yes. Makes the entire Christian religion be judged by its founder.

Then bring in misfortune and suffering. Nature demands that we satisfy our needs all the while denying the means to satisfy those needs. How could the centrality of life (thereby its pointlessness) become inescapable pain and suffering? Perhaps the default of the human condition is one of want and its itchy and uncomfortable and we are tired of having to put salve on it every morning. — Nils Loc

Even Jesus felt betrayed by God.

Have some beauty, you poor thing. — unenlightened

At least have the courage to address someone directly. Bad form.

Disney films are beautiful so why do you sneer? — unenlightened

Wow, if you're a child.

Do you think it grown up and clever to be miserable and unpleasant? It isn't. — unenlightened

I did not say that. But lying about suffering is always a bad idea.

One can only therefore consider it as having decorative value. So try not to put ugly posts here chaps, it lowers the tone, spoils the pattern. We are born and die like flowers, so try to look pretty and smell nice if you can, while you can. Don't expect meaning, but go for beauty. — unenlightened

Just like a Disney movie for children.

what is wvc ?

Where? Just saying "Monk" is not telling me anything.

Especially if that someone is Wittgenstein, and they directly state that they are doing phenomenology. — Joshs

Post what Wittgenstein said about phenomenology. You cited Monk.

Good to know somebody wrote something.

A legacy is essentially the effects you leave behind. — Harry Hindu

What does that have to do with the topic of this thread?

The point is to live each day like it's your last no matter how old you are. — Harry Hindu

Why?

I never said that meaning and the effect were synonymous. — Harry Hindu

Yes you did.

phenomenologically. — Janus

ok

Philosophy sets things out but doesn't explain them...? — Banno

Already said it.
