How do you make the comparison, between the question and arbitrary shells on Jersey shore, if you don't mind me asking? It's just another example, off the top of my head, of something that there would be zero motivation for them to write about. Could you perhaps explain what you mean by that? What ...

Why do you think they wouldn't? The same reason that they're not going to start a daily feature about arbitrary shells they find on the Jersey Shore. What would be the motivation for it? Who is asking for it? How would it help increase their readership or revenue? They don't publish just any random...

Can they? Sure.

Would they? No.

One famous whale philosopher proposed that all is made of swimming.

Nature means the superset of nomic connections, which is related to causation but transcends causation. As an idealist I claim that Nature is a human construct. What do you think that humans are, exactly? My reply is also for Seeds. ' Humans 'is nomenclature from sciences, which are human construct...

For one, if there's no free will, then it's not like we can choose to not imprison others. We've imprisoned people who have committed crimes because we were compelled to. We had no choice in the matter. And it's not something we can willingly change. It just depends on the forces at work that we hav...

Ethics doesn't arise intentionally, because we have some "point" with it.

It arises because you can't help but feel that some interpersonal behavior is acceptable and some is not.

I don't care what consenting adults get up to - in the privacy of their own lives and bedrooms. What pisses me off is having it shoved in my face all the time - and being told to approve, or else!
