Re: Who wants to kill the elderly?
Would you give the means and consent for an 18-year-old to kill himself over breaking up with a girlfriend? Yes Sam as a matter of principle, it should be given by the society. What one does with the freedom is upto him. You don't seem so enlightened anymore ... lol. And you sound like a control fr...

Re: Enlightenment & Materialism
If a hundred Westerners, rich in petroleum, see and use thing A as “vehicle,” and 10 tribal Africans, poor in petroleum, see and use identical thing A as “home,” what is the objective reality of thing A? Function? Its parts? A whole? It's most basic and shared characteristics define it+ idiots have...

Re: Enlightenment & Materialism
In this case, the definition of a vehicle. "Fixed" as in rigidly maintain. Yes, but vehicle doesn't relate to any ole thing, even if its definition is broader than car, ie, it reflects objects of reality, so it makes no difference who created the word, who created the definition, just as ...

No, you'd be astounded by just how stupid most people really are. Most people don't know how to think, let alone what to think, or even that they should try to think.

Re: Are there any religious Jews here?
Do you accept that Jews/Zionists own and control the US mass media by and large? If your question doesn't have anything to do with enlightenment then it is out of place in this forum. Most people are brainwashed, there are many reasons for it, but the media play a huge role in informing{I wouldn't ...

Re: The enlightenment list
The way I see it, we need to act and think based on what we know and also what we can reasonably expect to occur, so because I know I can’t dodge bullets, and I have no expectation that I’ll ever have the capability, it seems more than reasonable to accept that reality is real{EE}, and that my consc...

I'm not really interested in the conspiracy stuff, and I'm not sure how it relates to philosophy and wisdom.
