Re: Philosophy of Human Rights / Human Rights as Mythology
Most laws come originally from tradition, and this way, have a bound with religion. The problem is to impose an international law, you should have an international government, which don't exist. -I don't faith in ontological idea - which consist in saying that something "is true because it is true"....

Re: Cooperative Principle
Amad27, I tried anyway your problem to consider it completely. There is much time I have not done physics, so be tolerant. I was about to consider a complete (closed) system - the temperature being constant, I could invoke the law of perfect gases. But this was about to consider more parameters than...

Consider a word problem "A spherical balloon is inflated with gas at the rate of 800 cubic centimeters per minute. How fast is the radius of the balloon increasing at the instant the radiu...

Re: Why Suffering is a Good Thing
Here's why suffering is actually a good thing that could happen to a person. The reason(s) why suffering is actually good for a person is because it is part of a process of thinking and the start of a long spiritual path to Enlightenment and Liberation from the Material world. I believe that judgin...

Re: local and nonlocal consciousness effects on light dualit
Hi Jackles, I saw you posted another similar topic, but answer in this one, because the title is more explicit. I don't really understand the relation between celerity of light and the conscious. But I developed a reasoning about c, some months ago in another forum. I understood why physicists give ...

Re: The Truth about "Nuclear Weapons"

These "ill people", as I say, only move the problem to another place: An intensive radioactivity imply a more or less short half-period. This mean that ...

Hi Bravo (the name of a test equivalent to about 15 megatons of TNT... in energy ), Yes, I also heard at these time - from my sister - that the total ammunition of all nations could "destroy the planet".

Re: My Philosophy
The imperative to preserve is a problem I'm wprking on in my philosophy and science of needs, so I've touched on similar questions before. Ah, okay. For me, most inherent meanings are: duty, pleasure. And all that derivate, as work, eat,... But most of them are "biological needs", what doesn't cons...

Re: My Philosophy
Ok, a title, generally, is not philosophic in itself.
I wanted not to make a generality about the counterparts (examples of philosophic titles).
The point was the list.
You should see that the content was really a list, and only pose some ideas.
