They come from God. In other words, rights do not come from other people, societies, or governments.
Any person, society, or government is corruptible, but rights are fundamental and inviolable. Therefore, rights must come from God.
If, for example, rights come from government, then any...
You mean seditious conspiracy, and, no, it is not the same thing as insurrection. You need to understand that seizing property or disrupting a session of Congress is insufficient to constitute insurrection.
Explain who you claim to be an insurrectionist, what they did that constitutes...
Or not. Define "they" and say what "they" did that, in your opinion, constitutes "insurrection".
Keep in mind that no one from Jan 6th was charged with 18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or Insurrection. No one. People have been in the capital building before (to protest or riot) and obstructed...
We've identified a point upon which we disagree and upon which your argument depends, yes?
You are arguing that:
Your argument is:
we cannot be certain that awareness is what it seems to be.
Therefore, we cannot have knowledge.
However, simply being uncertain that awareness is what it seems...
In my experience...
There isn't anyone I love that I think is better not to have existed in the first place.
Moreover, there isn't anyone I love that I think is Good to remain both unrepentent and unpunished for genuine injustice.
And, thus, from my point of view, your question doesn't pose a...
Your remarks are necessarily confined to "several hundred", and necessarily disregard the vast majority of people who attended (to whom I referred in my statement).
Even so, these activites are most properly characterized as a riot. Even occupying the capitol building or delaying congress from...
Some people don't think in terms of language.
Only 30–50% of People Have an Internal Monologue. Is It Really Possible for People to Not Have an Internal Monologue?
This notion that free will is connected to human thinking in terms of verbal/written language appears not to be the case. People's...
Descartes deliberately considered that you could doubt everything. The essential point is that it doesn't matter if your awareness is what you think it is or is not what you think it is. You seem to be claiming that it matters whether or not awareness is what it seems to be.
It doesn't matter...
"several" :tearsofjoy: (as in less than half a percent of those who attended)
"desperate" does seem to be the operative word there. It's almost as if... millions of people can watch Trump speak and draw their own (different) conclusions.
Descartes famously wrote, "Je pense, donc je suis." (I think, therefore, I am)
He pointed out that you cannot doubt your existence while you doubt.
What I'm saying here is similar. You may doubt your perceptions, but you can't doubt that you perceive.
Do you understand the issue here? You...
Implicit to this statement is the perception of something real or imaginary. Whether or not the perception is real or imaginary, the awareness of the perception exists.
When we get more precise about what a limit is, we talk about what it means to get close to a number and we can get close to a number from different directions. A limit towards infinity is getting farther away from a number...
But, topologically, the real line is homeomorphic to the open-ended...
In this post, I included a video of Hillary Clinton on CBS Sunday Morning and a link to an article from the Washington Post. In the video she says,
In the article, it quotes Hillary Clinton:
You might find it interesting to study the concept of limits from the right and limits from the left, which is a concept useful in the development of Calculus. For example, you have a function like
f(x) = 1 if x>0
f(x) = 0 if x=0
f(x) = -1 if x<0
limit of f(x) as x->0+ is defined as the limit...
Hypothetically, if you were in a spaceship and you made the unfortunate decision to pilot your ship too close to a black hole, then would not the consequence of your finitive action be the loss of yourself and that spaceship into the blackhole for an eternity?
And really, every action, once...
It depends on the election. Sometimes there is no wrong side to vote for, sometimes there is no right side to vote for, sometimes there are more than two sides. To have a wrong side, you need to have a side that is immoral or unethical. For example, if you have a candidate that takes actions...
You don't care about compensation for Khashoggi's family. You don't care about trials for the murderers. Your hatred of the Crown Prince is really a facade hiding your TDS.
Wait, so you do still blame Trump for the trial that happened under the Biden administration granting the Crown Prince...
If someone can't make a payment one year - not a big deal.
Two years? Three years? Ten years? At some point, it becomes a big deal. Because it not okay to gain all the benefits of a mutual defense treaty without, yourself, contributing. It's you who are asking the others in the treaty to die...
