perhaps I will in the future.

no I don't think that I learned anything.

I don't take kindly to your mocking insult. Ad hominins are a last resort of someone losing a debate.

then why do most people believe that reason and emotions are separate ?

who is attacking me and why ? Seriously what are you talking about are people looking to eat me if I show to little or to much emotion.

who are you to judge what is and isn't a ridiculous distraction ? If such even exists.

why bring politics into this discussion ?

yeah so how would one find the balance ? Between the two

thanks for explaining that now I have a better understanding of them both.

I don't deny that Electronic entertainment is being used as escapism. But I do deny what you are saying about politics I think american politics is like that but everywhere else politics is a boring Rational affair. Also what do you mean when you say the cult of the body beautiful ?

thanks for your thoughtful reply perhaps you are right about the robot people I just assume that some people are living like robots. And I disagree about this being an age of Romanticism I think this is still an era of Anti Emotions in no part thanks to Electronics and other dehumanizing machine's.

what is the difference between fatalism and determinism ?

Most people just assume that free will is true and maybe it is in some capacity but I think that determinism is way more likely because it feels morso like things are determined at times as apposed to me changing the outside word around me with my free will.

free will cannot explain the beginning of things either.

do you really think that humans and ants are the same ?

I would say that we exist when we are able to have conscious thoughts about ourselves if we are dead or sleeping I think that's when we stop existing.

yes that is true but the question then can be asked what created humans as we all know humans are able to create great things.
