Re: Which Ultimate Truths Can Be Proven "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt"?
If there could be an ultimate truth, it would not have to be proved. Such a truth would be readily recognizable. Proof would only be needed in cases where there is doubt. If it were possible to be ultimate, there would be no doubt. Actually, makes me think of the term, 'hiding in plain sight'. Some...

Re: What attracted you to philosophy?
I was kidnapped as a child and was forced to labour many years in a philosophy mine. After stowing the best nuggets in the vein, I bought my way to freedom, and invested in the mine that once held me as slave labour. Now I kidnap children and force them to work for me... And so the world turns. :wi...

Re: Rights and Religious Freedom
As long as someone's religious expression does not cross into my yard, I'm okay with it. But I'm unleashing the dogs if I find you in my yard, messing with my non-religious livestock.
How's that for an answer?
