Ironic that, given the shit that comes out of your mouth.

Polytechnic of North London The Polytechnic of North London was founded by the 1971 merger of the Northern and North Western po...

Re: Help Science, be a researcher.

To suggest that the man-on-the-street can be of any help at all to science is ingenuous at best and disingenuous at worst. I take it that you've not followed the link nor read the research results produced by the man-on-the-street. :roll: As contrary to what you think much of research science is si...

Re: Mans Ultimate Purpose

... I spent many years in an ashram. The tale of Hydrogen was discussed within the context of these, mostly informal, group settings. How many years and what the hell did you do there to make you so confused? From the sounds of it more meditation, physical discipline and growing veg rather than cha...

Not if you read like that you won't.

But no, if you read more you'll know more.

In the context of this forum it'd mean that you'd actually have an idea of what the "Philosophy" in the title meant.

Re: There is no such thing as knowing

... The act of dying, surely, is more closely related to death than it is living. How so? As there is nothing to relate to in death? Surely the act of dying is the ultimate expression of being alive? Not nice and long to be delayed if possible but many at the end wish for death rather than life. Th...

Bentham's head and Hugo's body are no longer relevant. materialism Belief that only physical things truly exist. Materialists claim (or promise) to ...
