    How Does Intent Affect Consequence?

    I am confused, maybe someone can help me out? I just got told at Hapkido that your mindset can have an effect the outcome of your technique. A positive mindset means you're more likely to do it right. And that extends to everything, since every day actions are an extension of Hapkido. What I...

    If I Wanted to Sedate a Seagull, How Would I Do It?

But if say, I wanted to go to the beach, and catch a seagull, not kill it, but sedate it enough to catch it, what drug should I lace my bait with, and how...

    Is there a 'self'?

    Does an individual's identity, a self, exist independent of the people around them? Or is the self an illusion, shaped entirely by a person's environment? I'm personally an advocate for the middle ground where the self does exist, but it's determined by both the nature and nurture of that...

    I Am Me-ish.

    I ran up Mt. Warning with my Taekwondo club last year. I am me-ish. I went down to the Murray River on a houseboat, just after Christmas, to spend time with family and friends. I stayed there until well into the New Year, while my home in Queensland was potentially flooding and I was none...

    Martial Art Compatible with Taekwondo?

    I am looking to start practicing an art to complement Taekwondo. The bulk of the fight training I do assumes WTF tournament rules which don't necessarily apply to real life. I am taught some Hapkido self defense in class, but not very much, and I need a bit of work on it. I am more confident...

    Four Reasons why The Laws of Thermodynamics Are Unscientific

    1. No one has ever observed macro-thermodynamics, we have only ever observed energy and entropy on small scales. Therefore, since macro-thermodynamics has never been observed, it is unscientific to assume it is true. 2. Energists are constantly claiming that things have a natural proclivity to...

    Question on existentialism.

    I was wondering if I could be classed as an existentialist. I agree that life is inherently chaotic, but I disagree that there cannot possibly be an underlying order behind the randomness. I also agree that people tend to look at this randomness and try to find some shred of order in it, some...

    Shinobi and Samurai - how did they reconcile Bushido with Buddhism?

    It is my understanding that the Samurai followed a mix of Shinto, Confucian and Buddhist teachings, coupled with Bushido (ie, The Way of the Warrior).

    If there is no objective reality, why do we all perceive a similar reality to each other?

    I've been wondering this for a while now. It seems to me that if reality has no apriori existence without the mind's perception, if reality is completely sibjective, and varies depending on the individual... I was wondering how reality could possible be so similar for each person. Because if...
