What quaint wording for a manifesto, Marx was far more eloquent! I have a feeling that Hindu society is on the verge of a class war, judging from the resentment expressed in this comment, and also the derogatory reference to the sacred cow as a slave, and the necktie-worn man (upper-caste bourgeois ...

That's an interesting read of the old binary perception. We were all binary once, some had 2 brains, until that coked-up Freud came along! Damn!

Prof -- 'The central question of life is simply this: What can I do or say this moment to create the greatest net value?' I agree wholeheartedly with the aims of this Applied Ethical system. However the reason I extracted this one sentence was because there are powers in the world today who would in...

I'm going to wager my reputation as a judge of bourgeois character that they probably laughed it off and either condescendingly downplayed your ethical position as naive, or else fired you for your honesty.

Genes are anarchistic, eugenics is propaganda!

The Enlightenment progressed to the transitional view of nihilism in the 19th century and then advanced to its logical conclusion with existentialism. Nihilism these days is almost reactionary, Nietzsche was too moralistic to ever be a nihilist, he was citing the condition of nihilism which had repl...

Sure, values are had by all, I should have been more specific, but this then opens up an ethical can of worms, aesthetics included. But this whole topic has convinced me to be cremated, even in death I would feel I had been violated, I don't know where this comes from, I just believe in some dignit...

By sticks ? Why sticks ? A simple stick rarely can bind my attention. Unless it is curiously carved perhaps. Yesterday in a street car I watched an advertisement for laser surgery for eyes. I tried to figure out the psychological background of the picture, three smiling individuals on mats and with...

Piltdownbrain, "Without language, time and space do not exist' be a semantic copout or a serious attempt at understanding the foundations of cognitive relativity?" Would time and space not exist without language or would the condition of time and space still exist, we just would not have ...

You set the "axioms", if Project Logic believes your propositional sentence enhances philosophical knowledge it will buy your sentence. Wayne Leggette Sr. I'm a bit confused about how knowledge can be mathematical, after all, maths is facts and more about rigid formuli and numerical techn...

Well,,,the conclusions YOU came to are not mine, 'wrong' in the context of necrophilia are not my words, distasteful yes, but I emphasize a biological conclusion rather than a moral social one. My apologies then, I must have misunderstood. But based on your conclusion that necrophilia is "unbi...

HA!

I'd eat that.

The aesthetics of eating. If it's free, then it tastes good. Hunting and gathering is possible in the urban environment.

As a mortician I know this is a controversial issue, however I feel it needs to be discussed. After death we are legally allowed to leave our possessions to our loved ones, this includes property and money. We are also allowed to donate our organs for use by other humans, as well as for medical sci...

I ate pig this morning. I'll probably eat cow at lunch (and again at dinner). Multiple times during the day, I'll drink coffee (sourced in the labors of brown folks who are underpaid and over-worked). My car (carrying me far and wide) will eat up a tank of gas between now and noon, tomorrow (and in...
