WILL you BE DISMISSED if you do NOT cite? I will not. But 'you' have ABSOLUTELY NO control AT ALL OVER if you will BE DISMISSED or NOT. Please, Mighty Crom on your lonely mountain, make it so Smeagol swims deep in the fires of Mordor. Free me from its vile, eye-bleedin', attentions. Let it dismiss ...

If absolutely EVERY 'thing' is 'mind-dependant', as some like to SAY and CLAIM, then the 'mind' 'here' does NOT 'see' NOR 'hear' 'those' who SAY and CLAIM the above. Therefore, 'they' are 'their' CLAIMS do NOT exist, and thus bearing NO truth AT ALL. And, OBVIOUSLY, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING a NON...

Which isn't an entirely useful thing to say. Some times flexible wiring helps adaptation. Some times flexible wiring undermines fitness. Oh thank you for clarifying what is 'useful to say' as only you can do. I didn't clarify what's useful. I pointed out that being flexible at a time it would under...

The capacity for (and quality of) ethics and morality seems to be built-into each person... perhaps from birth... to varying degrees, which may or may not be teachable or expandable. People appear to see the world as they are wired to see it, and their ability to adapt or evolve depends on the flex...

Have 'you' SEEN 'the MESS' 'the world' IS IN, in the days when this is being written? Mostly CAUSED by adult human beings INABILITY TO 'communicate' WITH "each other" properly AND correctly. That's the fairytale you believe in, but actually you have no idea how the world works. OBVIOUSLY ...

Jared Warren says, think of a number. What exactly are you thinking of? https://philosophynow.org/issues/157/Solving_the_Mystery_of_Mathematics "jared warren" has MISSED the POINT here, thus WHY 'it' thinks or BELIEVES that 'mathematics' is some sort of so-called 'mystery' that could be '...

Was there even a 'mystery of mathematics'?

If yes, then what was 'it', EXACTLY?

A symbol or word, which was created to refer to a particular 'thing' or a certain 'amount'.

Hello, I would like to know if anyone could critique my theory of everything. There are MANY people who could, and would, critique your theory of 'everything', as well as your theory of ANY 'thing' for that matter. The same logic pattern could be expressed with many different words, but I feel this...

Now that I HAVE EXPLAINED what 'money' IS, EXACTLY, the ONLY RECOURSE FOR 'this one' now WAS to just SPEAK, and WRITE, in ANOTHER language.

Now 'this' IS EXACTLY what I have been POINTING OUT, SHOWING, and ILLUSTRATING here.

'This' here is the VERY REASON WHY it took 'those human beings' SO LONG TO 'catch up'.

THANK 'you', "vegetariantaxidermy", for providing 'this ACTUALLY IRREFUTABLE example', here.

I understand that a major characteristic of 'autism' (although everyone and their dog seems to have it these days) is a lack of communication skills and limited understand of 'cues' from others. Name one human being who is NOT 'mentally challenged' or does NOT have 'autism' in one form or another o...

All of science is expected to be expressible mathematically. All of mathematics is rooted in axioms. Axioms are "self-evident". "Self-evident" is a deference to intuition outside of logic. Intuition is non-logical form of reasoning. God is sometimes said to be "self-evident...

In understanding the perspective of another person, one temporarily ignores one's own perspective to some extent. That is another way of putting what the Swami in the OP is referring to. If God is both omniscient (all-knowing) and omnipotent (all-powerful) then God has maximum information and maxim...

Do you mean "government" or "the government"? Perhaps a government that actually had the full consent of the governed as a signed written social contract, with provisions of common contracts like a cancellation process, would not result in these problems. How can an organization...
