Re: I'm wrong about everything. Now what?
Is there any progress in philosophy? Or more to the point, is there any progress in humanity, or do we simply go around in repetitious circles? Or maybe it's just me going around in circles. I give up. My productive life is over as far as I'm concerned. I'm in retirement. Game over. K: actually, be...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
1. There is no 'our own' Universe. 2. By definition there can only ever be one Universe, only. Our own universe expanded out of the Big Bang. This here is a prime example of a human being who believes that the species 'human being' is somehow more 'special' than anything else. Once again "gode...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
Is our own universe the only one? Or is it part of a larger multiverse? 1. There is no 'our own' Universe. 2. By definition there can only ever be one Universe, only. you can change the definition for the word 'Universe' if you like, but why? Also, why introduce the new word 'multiverse' and give i...

Re: This sucks but there doesn't seem a whole lot we can do
Are you an American citizen, Age? Would that make any difference here? That doesn't answer my question. you are correct. And, what is also correct is that does not answer my question also. Are you an American citizen, Age? The 'you' can never, really, be what you ask here. But, one has to first lea...

Re: This sucks but there doesn't seem a whole lot we can do
It seems as though a lot of things are happening at once. Russia invaded Ukraine. To try and get back what was 'theirs', previously. Hamas attacked Israel. After years of being continually oppressed. China started threatening Taiwan. With what, exactly? North Korea was shelling the DMZ, Did this ju...

Re: the death of OJ...
And I (no citation marks) am hardly surprised that people like Age can't even manage to notice what a hypocrite he is being right here, even when it is now pointed out. Ah, so 'now' 'you' want to speak for "yourself", instead. Sometimes I realize that one way of mocking your nonsense is b...

Re: How do we make peace?
The world is in a difficult place right now. What can each of us do to keep it from teetering off its axis? Thoughts? Suggestions? War and conflict, generally, happens because of miscommunication and misunderstanding. Peace and harmony exists in clear communication and understanding. World peace an...

Re: the death of OJ...
it was reported on the news today that OJ Simpson died... and it give us pause to wonder about his legacy and ours... Why should this be important and worth pausing for? K: several questions come to mine: one, was OJ a good person? was he a bad person? No person is good, nor bad. All adult human be...

Re: the death of OJ...
A rich, once talented asshole managed to get off for a crime he likely committed. The prosecution messed up with the glove and not vetting a certain cop very well, and the rich assholes incredibly expensive team went to town with every prosecution misstep. Rich people get off all the time. Many peo...

Re: God is...
That's odd. I thought I said exactly why I said what I did. Can you think of another reason I said what I said? I suppose vanity is also a possibility. Why do you think I said what I did? I do not know why you said what you said. The whole point of me asking you, 'In what sense are you saying, 'OK'...
