• Sex
    the important thing of course is comunication between partners, even in bed.
  • Sex
    I think heterosexuality is inherently related to patriarchal subordination of women. And the idea that all that makes sex moral is "consent", is related to capitalism, because it makes sex out to be a service or exchange between two parties - the buyer and the seller.darthbarracuda

    what an insane thought
  • Sex
    , sex to keep the species going0 thru 9
    im sure it mostly for the sake of pleasure...
  • How do we justify logic?
    "If ALL the predictions of logic are true then logic is justified" but if we dont know the end result, how can we know the logic is true?
  • Objectivism: my fall from reason
    yeah, I just read about Ayn and I have also read a bit about satanism, but im not interested in politics, im not religious and im not a satanist, still I must admit that I agree with most of it..
  • Objectivism: my fall from reason
    has ayn rand ever said or written anything about satanism? I cant help but see a connection there..
  • Objectivism: my fall from reason
    took this sentence from the article from wiki about objectivism:
    "the proper moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness" and I see nothing wrong with it, as long as it dosent cause harm to other in anyway.

  • What is more important, the knowledge of the truth or well-being?
    belief is only good for the psyke of the person/group of people in question, in a positive way. and beyond that shouldnt be valued at all. a dose of cold logic and absolute truth is what we need.
  • Is ignorance really bliss?
    "i'd sooner just enjoy a cup of tea as i daydream out the window...." one can live in total bliss just thinking about all the mysteries of the world and the universe and not reallly care to know them too. Mystery is the fanciest word for not knowing :)
  • Is ignorance really bliss?
    Ah, but can we ever really 'know'? My cynicism runs very deep....I'll never lose my sense of wonder about the profundities of The Cosmos, but so much of everyday life is nauseating, no? I'm strong enough mate, i've been going 'against the grain' for as long as I can remember, but raging against the machine is exhausting. I'm tired....i'd sooner just enjoy a cup of tea as i daydream out the window.... "

  • Is ignorance really bliss?
    yeah, and I cant help to think that total enlightenment and knowing all the answers, if we see the quest for answers all the way through. is the closest you`ll get to becoming god-like,
    you have the entire puzzle-picture infront of you and you reach the highest transcendence...or some bullshit like that. I dont think it will happen :)

    so ignorance is bliss but KNOWING will help you more, if your strong enough.

    yeah, im not a fan of religion either. and I have thought about there being a conspiracy about religion and the reasons for religions existence. but I dont know offcourse. its just my imagination or paranoia running wild.

  • The Irving trial and Holocaust denial
    if there reason for the fear is reasonable and and hate justifiable(hmmm..?) is a to difficult question to answer.
  • The Irving trial and Holocaust denial
    I guess why nazism/facism/racism is such a toutchy and tricky thing to overcome is because it it infused with both hate and fear. fear of a dark future caused by strangers from distant unknown lands. and hate towards them for that very reason. and it dosent make it any better when both hate and fear clouds your mind and reasoning.
  • Is ignorance really bliss?
    "But the conspiracy has to make some sort of sense." what makes sense" can vary alot from person to person. and no one can truly be wrong if they have found no undeniably, true answer.
  • Is ignorance really bliss?
    my ignorance did not feel like bliss...

  • Is ignorance really bliss?
    Ignorance stands in the way of the truth and the truth is reality and reality IS and should be accepted by all.
  • Is ignorance really bliss?
    It's too easy to claim others to be insane by accusing them of conspiracy theory.
    We all have heard many ridiculous conspiracy theories"

    I would say, in my case, I read them because there is something drowing me to them, yet to not wrongly concider them "true" or "right" without serious pondering and research first. you may also never "find the answer" or learn the "truth" or what was "right". but it dosent hurt to know them. or is it?
    It does make feel a bit paranoid and that cant be good. but I never jump train that quickly. or a metaphor I enjoy better; "I feel obligeted to sit on the fence until I know without question witch side has the greenest grass. and if I jump prematurly to discover I was wrong I hope I acknowledge that I was wrong and climp back on the fence and ponder some more."
  • Is ignorance really bliss?
    Ignorance cant be bliss for the wise.
  • Is existence created from random chance or is it designed?
    Now think about what infinity means. understanding what infinity is simple, but trying to understand what infinity implies is a little harder to do"

    yeah, so you wrote this in the first post, and you may have gone through this but, can infinity be proven in any way? are there "anything" that CAN be infinite?
  • A problem for the deflationary theory of truth
    According to the deflationary theory of truth, nothing is added to the assertion, "The cat is on the mat.", by saying the "The cat is on the mat is true.", since to assert it is to say it's true.

    can we see the cat on the mat? :)
  • The Irving trial and Holocaust denial
    "Neo-Nazi groups regularly incite their members to violence." dont mean to apply that its a lie, but are there any reliable sources and statistics about this? I rarely hear about them in the media, and sadly there are so many(on both sides) that lie about it to try and make it seem worse then is really is. that said, I allways abid to the truth, even if it made me wrong.
  • The Irving trial and Holocaust denial
    I hope you in no way viewed my comment as sympathizing with the neo-nazis. I just havent seen them(wrong as I may be) as a problem in the bigger picture. I dont view their marches and rallies as a problem. and I think simply turning you back on them and ignoring them is a better action then giving them all the misplaced attention. and mocking them isnt helping either. most people are against them, so I dont buy the whole "nazism is on the rise" statement. they may have become bolder after the massive muslim-immigration to europe a few years back, but they remain an minority and for every attack they do, they`re only digging their own grave. I believe groups like antifa are slowing down that prosess by egging them on.
  • The Irving trial and Holocaust denial
    yeah, and there not afraid to use violence either. on social-media, the kind of person among them that I loathe the most, is the people saying they would or could rape, tourtur and murder a facist/neo-nazi. I obviously can never know if their serious or not and I hope that they are not. sure, im not saying that the true facist/neo-nazis are good people but they are offcourse human-beings that feel pain and fear just like anyone else. and if that dont come to mind among those particular kind of "sosial-justice warriors" then their psychopaths. they act like their on a holy mission and they cant do no wrong. like its morally acceptable. and what confuses me is that people view neo-nazis as the worst of the worst. worse then serial-killers, worse than rapist. and im betting that the majority of neo-nazis dont even engage in violence towards their "enemies", they are neo-nazis because of the way they think first and formost. (im sure offcourse that there are neo-nazis that do that aswell) but silencing them or starting fist-fights with them isnt gonna solve a damn thing. chances are, they`re just making it worse. violence breeds violence and revenge. it is because of this, that people giving hate-speeches should be met with skeptisism leding to disscusions and a strong non-violent opposision to their "way of thinking" or simply ignoring them. any sane person knows there is no room for facism and nazism in todays sosiety. but the so-called "anti-facists" cant seem to let the past stay in the past. acting as ww2 was a resent event and fueling the fire by becoming enraged with hate towards them. It might be easy for me not to have such strong hate towards neo-nazis, having never been bothered by them nor have anyone I know been so. and ww2, grim as it was, is just something I have read about, not expirienced. I dont care if neo-nazis have a right to free-speech because im smart enough not to listen to their bullshit.
    am I wrong in thinking this way? or is it maybe to simplified and dosent address the bigger problem?
  • The Irving trial and Holocaust denial
    I have tried to start a dialog with members of antifa-facebook pages. and im not rude or anything, but still, no one bothers to respond unless with strong negativity towards me and anyone not 100% on board on what their about. and sadly does people are so easily labeled as nazis or facists. and it can be uncomftable for anyone to be called a nazi/facist with all the bad stuff in the past linked to it. and I also believe does better-than-thou "anti-facist" know that it is a great way to silence people that way. their cause might be nobel but their actions and mannerism is just plain stupid. there not getting my respect that way.

    I just dont understand why people wount find pride in being an individual. just to be clear; I mean finding fullfillment in their own free-thinking and "way of life" and not through other people in the "group" they might be, more or less guiding and forming them. group-mentality is a bitch. when you were young and in school it may be something like smoking with the cool kids in hope to be accepted. it should be something you grow out of. and I do believe most do, but there are big issues with this in both politics and religion. i.e. countries like iran and north korea, where this is the norm, whether people like it or not. why is it so important to "fit in" somewhere, anyway? :) better to remain a mystery untill spoken to then be someone likely to be falsly "classified" and jugded there after. and we shouldent make it to easy for those who are so narrow-minded and intolrable to their opposits.
