So now is "constant change". The next question: "Constant Change?" The two words; "Constant Change?" IS NOT a question. For EVERY problem there is a solution. EVERY 'problem' is just a question, posed for an answer. If you WANT to KNOW the answer to a question, then yo...

Besides the infinite 'Universe', or 'being,' of course, I just see and understand how EVERY other thing, or each part, of the Universe has a beginning and thus a finiteness to it. I can understand that even the words "other", "thing", or even, "each" and "part&quo...

Why? I don’t know, but I am not about to ask.until the danger has subsided. That is the human being way. Kill them first, then ask questions. That is also a much more popular attitude in some countries than it is in others. Where did I say "kill them first" did you make an ASSUMPTION? ;) ...

So what do you propose if somebody breaks into your house right now and tries to kill you? WHAT are they "breaking in" for? If it is to just kill me, then what do they WANT to do that for? Are you going to tell them their BELIEF is WRONG ! What if they don’t listen? ;) It is NOT about IF ...

Me. It is not right either. Killing is amoral. Which also means that war is neither right nor wrong. War is sometimes and unfortunately necessary. Like when assholes like Hitler invade your country... If you say so, and, if that is what you BELIEVE, then so be it. But as you just so clearly pointed...

Of course - you could AVOID war and just surrender.

Of course you, human beings, could AVOID war, and create PEACE. Doing this would be so much easier for ALL of YOU than creating WAR ever was. Think of ALL the money you would save also.

Well, you did say that “war is made to kill people”. So if killing people is not wrong then war is not wrong? Cool ;) But WHO says killing people is not wrong? Me. It is not right either. Killing is amoral. Which also means that war is neither right nor wrong. War is sometimes and unfortunately nec...

“It is an eternal obligation toward the human being not to let him suffer from hunger when one has a chance of coming to his assistance.” Simone Weil (2003). “The Need for Roots: Prelude to a Declaration of Duties Towards Mankind”, p.5, Routledge How can we philosophically reconcile the eternal eth...

Soldiers AND doctors AND policemen AND firemen perform functions NEEDED by society. I am not digressing, you don’t understand the context. When foreign invasions are no longer a thing, when sickness is no longer a thing, when crime is no longer a thing and when fires are no longer a thing THEN we w...

I am asking you what we NEED doctors for if we don't have wars. What do you think? Surely you can work that out all by your own lonesome. Again WHERE are you TRYING TO take this discussion now? WHY are you TRYING TO digress away from your remarks regarding soldiers, which is what I replied to? Sold...

I just saw the humorous irony or coincidence that the word 'execute' can mean 'commence action', as that was what I saw "timeseeker" was using that word for, in relation to the commencement of warring, just happened be a word that coincidentally is used for KILLING PEOPLE, ALSO. What's wr...

WHAT and WHERE are you TRYING TO take this discussion? Are you just TRYING TO get to a point WHERE you can then go, and say, "See I am RIGHT and you are WRONG?" I am asking you what we NEED doctors for if we don't have wars. What do you think? Surely you can work that out all by your own ...

THAT (whatever that may be) what EVERYONE, as One, agrees upon IS 'RIGHT'. But we haven't agreed on anything yet, so there is no right and wrong yet? EXACTLY. You have finally arrived. Yeeha HOWEVER, there may just be A right and wrong already existing within ALL OF US, but we just have NOT YET com...

Could, what you call, the monitor in front of you, NOT be True? If it could NOT not be true, then is that 'absolute certainty'? Is it a form of insanity or not? I'm not really sure what a "True" monitor means. But if we think that our belief can't be wrong, then yeah that's absolute certa...

Ok. Define “wrong”. NOT RIGHT. :roll: :roll: :roll: Define 'RIGHT' then... THAT (whatever that may be) what EVERYONE, as One, agrees upon IS 'RIGHT'. When 'you' say the word 'your', who/what are 'you' referring to, or what do 'you' mean? HOW does that one, who is self-labelled "timeseeker"...
