/phi/ - Philosophy A board for pretentious debates on epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and logic.

Apply them to anything: Science, sex, your mom's cooking. No topic is too sacred or profane.
Consider this your haven where being a self-righteous, over-analytical asshole is encouraged.

What isn't allowed:

1. /b/, /x/, or /rnb/. Go spew your unhinged rants elsewhere.
2. Brainless drivel. If you can’t string two coherent thoughts together, take it to Twitter X.
3. Claims without arguments. "Because I say so" or "because you're gay" doesn’t count as reasoning. Repeatedly trolling and bait replies without substance will be banned.

Global rules apply. No, you can’t argue your way out of a ban for being an idiot. Add to the conversation, don't detract from it.

This thread is for discussion of the validity of religion(s) and arguments for and against the existence of god/gods.

Any other new posts about this subject will be deleted, or locked and referred to this one.

New threads about religious concepts that play inside their own ruleset are allowed, and we kindly ask that you refrain from turning those well meaning threads into arguments about religion as a whole.

Apparently there is a strong aversion within the scientific community regarding how consciousness tends to go beyond regular cause and effect when you measure its influence on its surroundings. The materialistic interpretation of reality fails to explain why these unusual occurences exist and why you can never see a physical link between these events.

Are you convinced that there is only matter in this universe and nothing else?

The best part, like this study says, is that a few tenths of an angstrom can make a protein useless.

one supposes, obviously, that the simple fact of the matter is that free-will is much too terrifying for much of the herd, and they are much more inclined (perhaps reticent) to wear the labels and play the roles doled out by those they merely perceive as having some sort of authority, when in actuality, the exalted among us, too, are beholden to self-imposed... farce.

To be sure, if the role is brimming with excess licentiousness, then all the better.

For where is conducting one's self civilly and with the common-interest at heart of interest?

#41- Scholars of the highest class, when they hear about the Tao, earnestly carry it into practice. Scholars of the middle class, when they have heard about it, seem now to keep it and now to lose it. Scholars of the lowest class, when they have heard about it, laugh greatly at it. If it were not thus laughed at, it would not be fit to be the Tao (...)

perhaps it's that free-will (or personal liberty) is readily (and very much intentionally) conflated with anarchy/disorder/disobedience

obviously the result of a tradition that proposes that the "natural order" descends from a divinity (with a top-down definition) to the king/regent and then on down the hierarchy (to be obeyed by the peasantry) COMPOUNDED with (particularly in the west) that /kernel of truth/ (again, same definition source) that human beings are inherently sinful/wicked and sans the hierarchy all would be lost

what humans are, inherently, is social and compassionate (lest perverted to believe otherwise) AND opportunistic (i.e. those prone to do the perverting) ... hence the necessity of lore and order, obviously based in reason and insulated against the more eager and unscrupulous opportunists; constant vigilance etc. etc.

of course, opportunism is also a trait highly conducive to survival for a generalist species such as ourselves

If there is such thing as reincarnation, I dont wanna come back as a human ever again.

Nope.

Even if God Himself promises that I will never suffer from poverty, slavery, disease, etc again.

I may not, but someone else will.
How can we truly enjoy human life when it comes at the expense of others?

All the luxuries enjoyed by any class of people have always been at the cost of exploiting other classes.

I would rather be an astral being roaming the cosmos, enjoying the wonders of thousands of stars and planets.

The pleasures of human existence are nice but sirely limited. The only thing that motivates humans is imagination.

I can't tell whether (anti-lolicon rhetoric) is a serious issue or the new moral outrage" isn't advocacy, promotion of, or posting of pedophilia and pedophilic content. It's asking a question about whether or not this seemingly first world issue facing chronically online anime communities is serious enough to warrant such extensive hate campaigns by communities like the Sharty and Kiwi Farms while we sleep on seemingly more serious issues like Du Pont diamond mining, child labor in Africa, Nestle corporation, Donald Trump taking over America, and of course western PROVEN nonces.

I grew up with gore cartoons like Happy Tree Friends and a bunch of shocking shit on sites like YTMND. Bug-eyed cartoon characters may actually have some psychological factors connected to reality, but I'm looking for evidence. The only scientific literature I've seen is from team 'p here. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1s2PL7TcWJfxDGzKn1M7jnMLViOI6Dvj_ I'm asking for team anti-'p's side so I can become a more informed individual.

I don't support lolicon, but anti-lolicon communities seem to have philosophy where, "If you're not eagerly fer us, you're eagerly against us", and it lacks nuance. We should care about the basics of Maslow's hierarchy of needs more than supposed e-politics. If there's significant empirical evidence (or even a good enough common man argument) against lolicon, I want to KNOW why it's wrong, rather than be TOLD to agree.

If minors are being groomed by lolicons, it's probably because minors are using social media before the age of 18 (which they obviously should not be doing, yet society accepted for some reason). Why are we reverting to "think of the children!!1" days? Babysitting minors online should never be a part of your ethos. Keep your kids on Neopets and off of social media.

What do YOU think about lolicon and its ethics?

If you're like everyone else, solipsism will be beaten out of you by life. This life guy seems to be pretty skillful at this.
But if you turn out to be special... Things like terminal lucidity show that there's likely no real limit to our ability to ignore reality.
So you can be Neo. Except, there is nowhere to escape to, and the reward for breaking the game is your inability to play it... Well. The pleasure button exists.

File 175645696356.jpg - (117.01KB , 1280x720 , kiril.jpg )

Semen is a bodily fluid and spermatozoid is basically a body (cell). So by swallowing semen of your superior as a Russian you are swallowing bodily fluid and eat body of your superior. Which is basically the same as Holly Communion. in Orthodox Church. In communion you drink bodily fluid (blood) and eat body of Jesus Christ who is your Lord. Lord is your superior.

So when privateer sucks cock of an officer and then swallows it's the same situation as during Holy Communion.
Therefore it's not gay as Holy Communion is not gay.

Dear 7chan ,

I finished my second manuscript in record time . It is actually revolutionary , and as such no one is allowed to read it unless I am handsomely rewarded . The leviathan that is threads is safeguarding it . I just happen to have a great trust in this leviathan and as such am not worried , for I doubt even a Mr zuck is capable of accessing my work either actually or figuratively and that coincidence being both factive and meaningful and distinctly and totally and partly so is exactly what my book is about , explains , and proves over and over and over again , kind of like how blind people don’t immediately assign felt gestalts to visual gestalts upon receiving sight , my book will blow not people’s minds into a new sense of gestalting and that’s both a joke and a prediction , which I know with much certainty to be quite possibly factive possibly —- but enough modal jokes and zauberbergian as published in English by those people in turkey references post side : i don’t present to any of you my second philosophy !

Bests ,

The author

I have made another grand contribution to the history of philosophy and the field at large . I worked tooth and nail to acquire comparable translations to a text that has not been translated into the english in its entirety and has been supposedly translated in small amounts as slight referential remark or topic .


I however recognized that there has been a great misstep in the treatment of metaphysics that occurred immediately after the 9th century . I am proud to announce that I have successfully untrenched western philosophy entirely from language futilism .

hm, conservatives (if in name only) went from premarital sex and sexually active teens is bad, to condoning pedophilia and sex trafficking.

obviously they can't (but almost certainly will) argue cultural relativity, anthropology, or history (our lifespans were much more brief, thus procreating as early as possible so as to raise the child before the parents died) because it would be woke and such.

to be sure, procreation or genuine affection is not really the objective, so much as wanton gratification for a self-entitled few and selectively for those who adequately fill the coffers, well, should it be politically expedient to afford the unkempt masses an indulgence or two.
