There are 2 fundamentals paths here. 1. the ability to manipulate one's environment. 2. the ability to understand one's environment. A mathematician, or beaver, may be good at manipulating their environment. But do they understand their environment at all? Humans could, with science, create an infin...

I'm still waiting for you to explain why the poor white boys are doing worst of all in our education system? Maybe because they feel cucked and depressed by their oppressive government? Who knows? Even einstein got D's. Also, whites make up 16% of the world's population, blacks make up 15%. If ther...

It's not quite long enough to be a book though, but I suppose it belongs here. It's not long enough to be a short-story or maybe it is but you'd need some characters, some semblance of a coherent plot structure and please lose the cliches and contradictions and check your grammar. grammar is unimpo...

I generated this from the post modernist generator. its boring as hell. dont even read it, its drivel. I want to right a down-to-earth philosophy book without all the macadamia nuts. Fuck all this post-modernist bullshit. This is actually hilarious, could almost be used as proof of solipism. Lacanis...

I am an absurdist so do not think there is any objective meaning to life only the subjective meaning one gives to their own life You are born you live you die and then you stay dead forever. That is the basic mechanics of it. And as far as God is concerned I do not think he actually exists but give...

Colors can be said to have a casual "nature" in that they cause the person to act in certain ways. But the colors themselves don't cause anything. Can you exemplify your statements so that I can see what you mean? Colors are merely grades of light, light doesn't cause anything? nope color...

I`d argue very strongly in terms of there being an actual net gain. Obviously there is much to be gained for coloreds from having White friends: status, safety, prosperity, intelligence, culture and so on. The bigger question is why would a White person what a colored person as their friend? Seems ...

To appreciate your pony one must be empathetic towards it, yes, but that is on the very top level of appreciation, for it is interspecie. One can surely get away with doing a whole load of stuff whilst still with a back drop of culture. Culture may be held subliminally until those times when substa...

Firstly I want to state that I was one of the first Super Sane philosophers. But now super sanity is starting to emerge as a cultural phenomenon, people are getting fed up with this sorry joke of a world. I want to link this article to David Benetar, a super sane philosopher who sees things as clea...

As leader of the human species, I say the way to avoid the oncoming robot apocalypse is to reprogram the military bots and make them our sex bots.

The English have way more hate in them than Americans, and they are far more violent. They banned not just guns, but anything resembling a knife or sword, and still have high rates of violence. Don't let the gay accent confuse you, they are a twisted hate filled society. They are probably hateful b...

Which forum what? ;-). I got banned from "The Philosophy Forum" which I joined 4 weeks ago after my 24th posts, got knocked down the 3 surviving, then when I tried logging in 2 weeks later was blocked from forum. thanks for reply! Philosophy forum used to be dope, then they froze the old ...

The meaning of life is a poorly articulated question made up by immature philosophers. You cannot correctly answer a poorly formed question. The correct question is. "Is life created with a purpose, or did it happen by just chance/luck or dumb nature?" "And if it is created with a pur...

This is known as Lewontin’s Fallacy or Lewontin’s Paradox. Of course just as Achilles does not take infinity time to complete the hundred meters dash in Zeno's Paradox, likewise we can in fact categorize individuals by race with 100% accuracy, no one confuses a Chinaman for a Red Indian or a Black ...

So like, if I say a poodle has a race, different from a terrier, I am talking fiction. Poodles and terriers are the same. Brilliant.

Why do you think they're called Dogs?

Same reason humans, are called humans.
