General Philosophy

Practical Explanation ( For Example ) :- `1st of all can you tell me every single seconds detail from that time when you born ?? ( i need every seconds detail ?? that what- what you have thought and done on every single second ) can you tell me every single detail of your `1 cheapest Minute Or your whole hour, day, week, month, year or your whole life ?? if you are not able to tell me about this life then what proof do you have that you didn't forget your past ? and that you will not forget this present life in the future ? that is Fact that Supreme Lord Krishna exists but we posses no such intelligence to understand him. there is also next life. and i already proved y…

I remember watching The Pursuit of Happyness and how the subliminal definition of happiness in the movie didn't line up with my experience of happiness. The movie equated financial success with happiness while I equate physical activity(ie. adequate serotonin levels), a healthy diet and a minimalist approach to life with happiness. I've also observed that society is driven towards acquiring intelligence and not happiness. If you had a choice to be either intelligent or happy but not both even though it is possible to be both. Would you rather be intelligent or happy? And why?

a general conversation as to human beings and all other animals consisting of various shapes of bacterial colonies.... of what extent does any correlation apply? And, if this applies to life in general being separated into two basic categories. Animal bacterial colonies and plant bacterial colonies....with continuing modifications of blue/green bacterial colonies by the force of evolution, thrusting them into the realm of the theoretical...and why this, or something like this has happened in the universe? edd

Can a person "say" they have compassion while lacking morality?

I thought that this question would be interesting to post on these forums. I was raised to be Christian, but approximately two years after I started looking into science, I abandoned that commitment. I don't want this thread to be religious in any way, I want to hear purely scientific and philosophical insights that have a basis in physics, neuroscience, and cognitive science in particular. I do not intend for this thread to be speculative in any way. I'm posting in the hopes that I may obtain new insight on this topic and share my understanding of this topic as well. That being said, I have thought of this extensively. In the following thread, I will refer to so call…

I don't know where to put this topic. Its personal, its political, its psychological and philosophical and social. It has to do with the real world and it has to do with our dreams. It has to do with the new world of work and the plethora of information we are bombarded with, and the shift from trusting human judgement, to trusting the systems that human judgment creates. I am thinking it may be important to understand what is going on, so we can address it together, and understand where everybody stands. It is current events, and perhaps we are addressing the issues as they arise, but perhaps we are letting some things go, that we really don't want to see get a…

I have come across this new term from Meta Physics. An extremely renowned author in a particular book goes as far as to state the following "that reincarnation actually exists because when we die our bodies die too (the red blood cells) but the white blood cells carry memories or our souls of our previous lives into our next lives". Is this really true? Or is the author nuts or some thing?

Isn't it simply governments that create this concept?

Are adlerian theories of personality practical? Does compensation really account for natural talent? Of course, there are cases where this applies eg) Charlie Chaplin (of small stature), Beethoven (had auditory problems), Napoleon (the little corporal), Tiger Woods (partially sighted) etc? Is this an exception to the rule OR the rule itself? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

We have different types of belief systems. For example, in politics we have capitalism and communism. In religion we have christianity, judaism, buddhism, hinduism, taoism etc? If we take the case of say, Marxism (founded by Marx and Engels), how we do we understand that even several years after their demise their philosophy was lapped up by the masses. If we consider a person in the present, how do we explain that if I am a Marxist (hypothetically) , adhere to a belief system that tests the collective intellect, (or abuse) of the same, by people who lived in a different time and age. How do ideas and belief systems propagate without distortion? …

Saw a meme and wanted to ask you guys on SF. "The universe is probably littered with the one planet-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there is no good reason to go into space. Some discovered, studies, and remembered by the ones who made the so called irrational decision" So yeah, I think this could be likely to go on in the universe? What ya'll think?

How free is our free-will? For example an event like all denizens on earth holding hands in impossible. We have a closed coterie of friends and repeat many actions daily (almost intuitively). We visit known places more frequently than unknown ones. Basically, we live in a controlled biosphere (the globe) and each one of us is an unknowing subscriber. (like a colossal ant-hill). Please express your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

I was thinking recently about death and, while I do not support the loss of any human life, it is an inevitable fact that we will - each and every single one of us - die. Everything changes - humans are no exception to the rule. No surprises so far. Perhaps we need, as a society, to cease mourning the loss of each and every individual as if it were an isolated and encapsulated tragedy. It has been said that negative emotions are the result of our positive expectations going unmet. If this is true, then it might imply that none of us, in our heart of hearts, expects our self or our loved ones to die. Is it that we simply are incapable of imagining a world in which we no lo…

What would be an aliens view of the panoply of human activity? For instance what would be an aliens view on humans obsession with sex? Sex is essentially an exchange of DNA (much like shaking hands or even sneezing) and comes bound with a dopamine reward system. But why is it so prominent in our media etc? Similarly what would an alien think of petty politics. Politicians worldwide are known to be on an average lacking probity and yet they are always in the limelight. Would an alien then condescend to make contact with humans? Please express your viewpoint. Thanks in advance.

This is an interesting question which we faced in a fist for Mathematics some hours ago.(Thanks the questionors) "Questioning is more important or answering?" I like to know your idea about and your idea about the following answer: When we wish to answer this question, the most important fact is: To answer this question. So answering(questioning) is more important. But, if no one answer us this quetion, the most important fact about this question is: to ask this question. So asking is more important. Is this just a bafeling?(respect to the other possible valuable answers). If it is not and thats a true word, what about the other answers?the value…

I have a problem trying to consider a question such as "how many supernovas does the Milky Way, have in a decade. How can a thing so big as a galaxy, where it takes light itself 100 thousand years to get from one end to another, do ANYTHING at once?

Any group of people, when they start to be formed have people by their own characterestics, little by little when the relations start to be formed people change their behaviour and adopt themselves to the situation. So, there is a force to change any individual to a social element of that society.Competitions, quellings, education, ... . Inteligence goes to be "the power and ability of adoption". But human being has the other sources of inteligence and creativity, which will be the source of various kind of conflicts. What will be the final result? "Are people reduced to their own relations?"

Humans are the only known species to use word-communication, and all other species communicate traditionally. The methods that other species use are similar to each other, primarily they talk with signs and symbols, or through exerts of masculinity. Humans have trained their tongue to talk words; they communicate with their own minds to think. The vocabulary is quite extensive, there are many attributes to the word, it is an intelligent technology, but it is natural? Aren't we somehow differentiated with nature; shouldn't we be talking in signs and symbols like the rest of the animal? A man's mind is silent, are we meant to think in words? Isn't thinking a skill attai…

What exactly comes under philosophy? To me, whatever questions science cannot answer currently seem to come under philosophy. For e.g. :- Consciousness is something that science cannot answer satisfactorily, so we put it under philosophy. Similarly the beginning of universe is largely unknown so it's philosophy. So when we know these answers, will it come under science? Am I right?

I believe nothing in this world and universe can come from absolute nothing. Everything in this universe must come from something. That's a very logical and scientific statement for any human being. That is how we perceive and experience things in our day to day life. But if we say that something in this universe can come from absolute nothing, then aren't we making an unscientific and illogical statement? How can something come out of absolute nothing? is it some kind of weird magic? so my point is if science doesn't believe in magic then it can not make any statements like "something can come from absolute nothing". So going by the logic, "Everything in the univers…

I don't think the universe can happen. It doesn't make sense. There's no source of differentiation.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite and reaction. Rocket ship blasts off. The most common image that comes to mind. But what about life? Kids hate school. They love summer. One bad, one good. The happiness and sadness cannot exist without the other. No school, no joy in not going. I hate running, but I love being in shape. Good and bad. Without running a 5k every week, I would be fat. You cannot name something good without naming the bad side. 1-1=0 something positive minus something positive (negative) equals zero. Happiness minus sadness is nothing. Math and life join. Create your own equations about your life and share

without parents... See, parents are the best ..and best living creatures ever born on earth... Thanks to them and hmm.. family..? Any family related discussions/? Appreciable...T_T

Is reality a lie? Are humans supposed to be living for the femininity of Nature, and not in the masculinity of themselves? The human species had become a civilized people, great minds invented great things and gradually humans built a reality. They use words to communicate - and this is a notable trait, no other known species has a word-based language. A human’s best understanding of life comes from its own masculinity; words it created, and other inventions. But is this the path of true intelligence? Shouldn't we be harmonized with the femininity of Nature? We were born natural thinkers, and we have natural instincts; a human evolved, but they have evolved for a …
