    Objective evidence or God?

    Now what if that "or" is too simple and it is in effect the fallacy of the excluded middle? The problem of P or non-P is that not all cases of P are the same and indeed not all cases of the verb "be" So here it is a test as we all love those. ;) You are now observing 3 humans for 2 different...

    Do you have evidence for the fact, that you are rational?

    As the title says.

    Beyond proof as for the universe and/or God.

    A start note about culture. I am not talking about God in the Western tradition of religion. I am talking about what is the causation of you as not you. Okay, here is the problem of X is Y and not Z versus X is Z and not Y. There are 3 possible outcomes if you accept the law of...

    We and humanity

    Well, all humans are a member of humanity, but from there doesn't follow that you and I are a case of we otherwise for all usages of we. I mean for morality if you and I have a different understanding of that we are not the same as we have the same understanding of morality. In fact for a...

    Moral realism.

    Here is how close I can get. A moral rule/norm/fact can be true, real and subjective, but work universally. That it is universal, is the closed it can get to be objective. It is still subjective, but applied without claiming that any given one person is a special positive and the another a...

    I/we, you/them, truth/proof/evidence.

    You are one of them, because I am the correct we for all humans for all cases of what humans do. ;) The joke is that it also works in the different direction in some case, but that is irrelevant, because I am with truth/proof/evidence the standard for all positives and negatives and you are in...

    Science, scientism and a missing word.

    Short, I get how some theists don't get methodological naturalism and science and then use scientism. But there is a 3rd version. Someone (as an example): I use evidence, have no beliefs without evidence and religion is wrong. That one there is no word and scientism doesn't rely cover it...

    The elephant in the room, education, and them.

    First a mention to you, @Shadow Wolf . Yeah, unmasking is sometimes maybe not the best thing to do, but I will do it now as true, honest, and authentic as to being in effect for neuro diverse “over”-analytical both as bad and good. As for you, @Secret Chief. Yes, you are spot on. So here it is...

    Not real???

    I will start with the fact that a mistaken idea is not real and thus not in reality and thus not physical, yet the mistaken idea is in my head, which is physical and in reality. So how does it work? I have a mistaken idea and want to write about. That causes a physical process in my brain and...

    My opinion is mine and it doesn't affect other humans

    I have a problem with that one. Example: Take 3 humans. One is about to harm another human and the 3rd one can stop that. There are 2 variants at play here for the 3rd person. #1: I don't stop it, because I don't judge other humans as to whether they harm or not yet other humans. #2: I stop...

    About words and other words, including the whole.

    So here is one way to understand the idea of the whole as all that is going on. All words as it stands right now requires a brain, an understanding in a brain and a referent. For the different non-believers and believers some of them share a general belief. Only that as independent of brains...

    Facts, evidence, reason and logic.

    Here is a simple reductio ad absurdum in the broad sense of it. Someone*: I have no beliefs, in that I use facts, evidence, reason and logic all the time. Me: I don't. Someone: Then you are doing something, which is without those as mentioned as above. Me: Is that a fact? The problem is that...

    Here is one solution. Make a new amendment

    Get them young and train them well and you will have good humans with a gun. What could go wrong? Well, in earnest that is how to start preparing them for a well regulated militia. You militarize civil society, so everybody can kill everybody else in a well trained manner. And yes, it is a Poe...

    Are you pro-life or pro-choice as per abortion?

    I get the feeling that sometimes we end up in false dilemmas as a strong one or the other, so I made 4 choices. And no, you don't have to vote as you can reject all 4 if you like.

    Freedom and diversity.

    I saw a video about freedom and how some people want to restrict it. Now I have a stick up my ***, because I am neurodiverse and sometimes it shows, where it shouldn't. But here is another side to that. And it has nothing to with this site, but rather the ugly side of sane or whatever word you...

    Evidence...

    Here is a version that seems to float around: I can use evidence in a positive sense for all of the everyday world. Well, I can't. Now I have been asking how that is explained and it so far always end in an opinion: I am of that opinion that what everybody else actually do for the everyday...

    Western taboo, skepticism and religion.

    First off, I use some different understandings of some words and thus I break the taboo of that all words must be the common usage, because of reasons... :D Secondly ,I don't claim, that I am authoritative for, how you should understand words, but that won't stop me from using a different...

    What is naturalism?

    What is naturalism? That is my question.

    The Flying Spaghetti Monster, solipsism and absurdism

    Disclaimer: If you really don't like the meaningless, absurd and so on, don't read on. If you then choose to make a complaint in a post that it is absurd, then that is your problem and not mine. If I have to choose a organized, real religion, I would choose The Flying Spaghetti Monster and...
