You don't have to apologise for anything. All I'm saying is, if you think that you are somehow less qualified to do philosophy than a formally...
Let me explain a little better. The best way to explain what a logical impossibility is is to first explain what its opposite, logical necessity,...
Probably because the article doesn't say anything at all, other than a few fun facts about Cuba. The article reads like a grade 8 English paper....
In ordinary language, the word "choice" is very much meaningful. It only becomes meaningless when used in a philosophical context. The reason...
I agree with Kharakov that the author is, as he put it, full of shit, or at least full of himself. I never take people too seriously who...
Kharakov: I could get knit-picky and say that the challenge was to draw a round square, which you acknowledge is impossible. But that would be...
I'm no Christian, but when did they find the body if you don't mind me asking.
[/size] A round square is a logical impossibility, which means that we will never be able to draw a round square. I don't know if a two...
This is philosophy; there's always confusion. But thank you, this post was quite clear. Doesn't that suggest a sort of determinism? For...
I can't help but notice that no real substantial argument has been made in this entire thread, but that shouldn't be suprising since we're...
That may be the case, but my point is that it can never be proven, let alone by science. So to say that science will eventually discover the...

I'm not exactly sure what your position is, Occam. You say there is no free will, yet we are still able to make choices. You go on to say that a...
How will we know when we know everything? What I mean is, how will we ever be certain that there are no more facts to be known? I'm also not...
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that free will does or does not exist, same goes for fate. I'm saying that the question of free will is...
Of course there is no proof of fate or destiny or anything like that. How could there be? That being said, there is no proof of free will,...
I don't know much about quantum physics. But when I think of a possible world, I think of something that exists totally outside of our universe,...
She's not stupid, but she was bought. Martin just scammed himself out of an election; really bad for democracy.
This is a thread in which we should debate the existence of possible worlds. It is a very vague topic, I know, but this should be a very broad...
Mui: I'm not sure exactly what you're arguing here. Yes, I guess people who could have been scientists never end up being scientists. I guess...
