Psychologically/spiritually speaking, any sort of loss, be it a limb, faith, or a relationship, is violent towards ideas of solidarity. If you consider something to be a part of you, and then loose it, depending on how firmly attached it is, you will be effected more so. It is selfish in the sense t...

i once read somewhere refering to man as the center of his own universe, its one of those common sense things that isn't realy true at all, it's not just egotistical its completely wrong. man is the limit of his own universe so to know our limits, all we must do is know ourselves, and that is what &...

things may not be so black and white as supreme being=meaning naturalistic=no meaning the meaning of life could very well be to rise above such ideas as meaning... as are the buddhas, creatures that have transcended ideas, starting with the idea of themselves, god and the individualistic world... th...

the socratic method is the only method i can think of, that isn't realy the socratic method though, his discorse is just the best example of it. I've never been able to try it out, and supposedly it is based on math so to be successful one must know it's system. Also it is said in Plato's Republic a...

This is a good topic, the future of science as we know it. Energy should be getting a foot hold as the foundation of everything, electricity as the hand that shapes galaxies and everything, but the void, there must be something there. Ether or equalizer? Conductor of light? Conductor of motion? I th...

if done correctly religion would be the ideal and strengthen direction, philosophy would be the argument, science would be the proof and strengthen faith... hmmm, for some reason this all seems right to me... the only thing that seems as though it gets in the way is that I could CHOOSE which ones if...

i think the churches focus too much on alternative life styles and not enough on nymphomania which has many more negative spiritual, and material effects... then again, they are not doing what is good spiritualy or materialy, they are doing what is good for them... they must state boundaries, so tha...

What makes a leader good, as far as, for the good of the whole, followers and all, may not be what people follow. Someone who was reluctant to have followers for example, thinking that people should think for themselves first, and then are in the right mind to work with others and strengthen a group...

Scott made a good point in an other post about morality, how people tend to use morality as an oversimplification of what they realy mean. Like saying "eating meat is immoral" when you mean "eating meat supports an industry that only cares about profit: there are compounding negative ...

You make good points especially the ultimate one, which to me is the best argument against finding a purpose to life. We do give meaning to things based on nothing other than what it means to us, like in communication, misunderstandings arise when one person means one thing and the other person inte...

(quote not shown) it is not immoral to steal, it is illegal... what is illegal is not always immoral for example stealing food from a supermarket who is also stealing from the local community/economy/ecology/solidarity, not to justify it, but to give a proper moral frame of reference... because you ...

i read somewhere "you cannot think right to act right, you must act right to think right" thinking anything is immoral if it takes away from your ability to act morale, morality is done for morality, not for wage. You act morale because it strengthens morality, the idea of it in your head,...
