By all accounts, Hume was one of the most affable philosophers. Scepticism gets very negative press, generally from people who have a specific ideology they are peddling.

Diversification is to take an object and try it out in similar circumstances where the point of factuality still holds domain but is not the same as any earlier circumstances. By diversifying the number of circumstances, you prove that it's true about the point of factuality, what you say is the ca...

Be held captive? When people become insane or "mad", they loose certain aspects of social and personal functionality. Socially they loose the ability to socialize and come to understanding with others, and personally their ability to do things critical for their well-being or survival is ...

kep wrote:I think our brain has connections to other dimensions besides the usual 3. Ghosts exist in every culture. What do you think of this?

Not ghosts, but entities that speak to us through thoughts and most think it is their own thoughts.
There is one in everyone. Many have been exorcized.

It's a generally agreed upon truth that how you perceive something affects what it is to you. If you see someone as good, he will be good, if you see someone as irritating, he will be irritating. So far so good, right? In fact, it could be argued that the entirety of anything is exactly how you per...

Don.t waste your breath trying to explain the spiritual to the worldly minds.

How very spiritual of you.

Their minds have been closed and their understanding is of this world.

And yet you wish to claim that your understanding is of this world?

Where did you ever get that idea?

I've seen about everything movie wise I can think of at least and am running out of ideas. So recommend me a movie... To start the ball rolling: two movies I saw I liked recently This is the End, and The End of the World. Bit of a comedy thing, liked both: one is a sort of end of the world thing wh...

Either that or you fail to stipulate the way in which you intend to use the word cycle. Alright well, please note that I'm not really taking it in a literal, etymolo...

For the past few months, I have noticed, and I have been noticing continually the complete low morality among many people that I encounter every day. I've been consciously aware of this a lot more, ever since when I was in a period of depression and alienation among other peoples (which took place ...

There are those who want to know the truth, but many of them have not found it. They become frustrated and depressed. They are polarized into two directions: to either give up or self-destruct, as the journey is truly dark and is full of paradoxes and illusions that perplexes and at times depress p...

"Pride cometh before the fall". No it doesn't not in the Bible and hence nowhere it should actually matter if you use that quote: no matter how many times I see that misquoted it never gets old. :P "Pride cometh before destruction, and a haughty spirit before the fall." It's as ...

Well I don't believe in either God, devils, santa claus, the easter bunny nor souls, and so the breath of God is absolutely unintelligible to me, for the sake of story I hope he had brushed his teeth before he decided to share his smells with me ^^ From my perspective obviously I don't have a soul ...
