You don't know, is kinda the point...

You assume to much; for instance, why would a binary random answer be greater than 50%?

I don't; it might be a tautology but sometimes that's the only answer there is.

Name one, and please include, how you know. A demonstration is very different to an explanation (a demonstration is, most often, far easier) due to language unspoken; if you tell me what you think piety mean's, it will give me a better chance to explain what I mean. Please read the thread again, but this time read it, without your filters/bias/ego, as if you want to learn (and yes you need to want too). Philosophy isn't about being right, it's about knowing your own foibles and applying that understanding to other's, you can't teach until you've understood the lesson...

Unfortunately, he lacks a map...

I can only assume that you haven't read any of this thread, because all of your points have already been covered, in far more detail; it's a bit rude to assume you have anything to add too a two page thread, by answering the OP; given the simplicity of your post.

Then why the argument?

Of course secrects can be kept, I'm keeping my identity secret from you... 😉 If you read again you'll note the brackets (that matter) which is meant both sarcastically and factually... How do you know that? Most secrets were still guarded, long after the war, unless it was good propaganda to leak...

We can't even be sure of dolphin's and we've been talking to them for 50ish years... The ultimate barrier is language; how could a dolphin tell you what it feels like to be a dolphin and if we're so special; we'd be able to tell them what it feels like to be a dave...

LOL, funny how it work's, isn't it; Bill Clinton couldn't keep a secret (that mattered) that only one other person "knew", what chance a secret known by many 10's/100's/1000's etc.?

Time and gravity are just directions, it's only when YOU move that the direction has any influence on YOU; an oversimplification but it's a good place to start your education.

People still need to be taught how to cooperate and help each-other, which is better done from a moral POV; imagine a world taught by Jeff Bezos/Trump et al using their moral compass, no wait... 🤔 You're conflating religion with politics, those in the know understand what piety really mean's...

Good point, what level of comunication, with our universe, is required for sentience to emerge? And what level of communication is required for us to recognise a fellow sentient?

It wouldn't make me not a troll...

Did you ever hide under a bridge?

Sunak needs more money??? It's also hard to see a positive legacy from the next person who picks up the challis... "all they we now need is a cake, we can share in." FTFY An economy needs it's population to spend (because we can tax that); guess what would be better for our economy: A poor person (most of us), who has enough to live on, with a little left over and spend every last cent (for pleasure). Or A rich person, who is afraid of the cake???

Ouch, consider me burned...

That depends on how big your ears are... 😉

I can't imagine the mindset of someone who would want that poisoned challis...

Just because religion can be used and taught wrongly, doesn't mean the philosophy is wrong, false or lies; when, for example, is it wrong to forgive, be nice or help our fellow human's? Indeed... If you understand the wisdom, you can teach others the meaning of it, whatever size (be it small, medium or large); if you don't understand the wisdom, you'll only confuse them, and yourself...

Of course it's subjective, which means the only debate that's open, is with yourself... If you're content with your meaning, you're a lucky dog... 😇 😉

We should consider the criminal as a victim, if we want a rattle free, well balanced, drive shaft...

Balance depends on the weight of your bias... 🤔

I was thinking about a logical rule of when to lie; fiction is what we tell ourselves, a lie is what we tell other's for validation of our fiction... my point is, logic does not and can't understand emotional intelligence and that's rational, given our humanity... But you surely need a rule, to express yourself effectively; don't you?

Is there a logical rule for lies?
