Do you have a better idea?

Well, wadda ya know, proof that a paradox can't exist, congratulations on your logical side of reason, where x = bollox...

Have you??? You can't force people to have sex, that's illegal; so the best solution, is to relax and hope for the best, if you want to avoid a sentence; that you won't want to hear. 😇

As far as I'm aware, there has never been a war, between nation's, that was started specifically to depose a dictator, it's always a civil matter; I dare you to say "Iraq"... There's a reason culture's are victims of stereotyping, nurture v nature explained. We're all humans that react in basically the same way, and culture provides the mould that shapes our thinking...

Imagine if this was meant literally, with soz being text speak for sorry and the emoji being an expression of innocents; you could be accused of overthinking, imagine that...

Well, as long as this little parlour game of ours, lasts long enough for the edit. 🖖

As am I sometimes, didn't see the emoji, soz. 😇

If that was sarcasm, then yes I missed it; perhaps next time you include an emoji... And you can avoid my poetic nature. 😉

It's a question of balance, while enough of the populous can feel relatively comfortable, then the minority can look out for themselves; while the majority pat themselves on the back for putting a quid in the collection box. I think @TheVat is correct, even in the face of blanket propaganda, enough people are savvy enough to keep hold of the fundamental truth of humanity; so that when the balance shifts revolution often results.

Sensing when someone is looking at you without seeing them, is literally mind reading without, even, a clue from text; 'from future past'. Even hyper-vigilant criminal's can be spied on, without their knowledge.

Perhaps, but we could be recognising a word we heard the day after yesterday, when normal conformed to the words I know and surprise is a word I'll hear tomorrow...

India, where Muhatma's dignity defeated the British or South Africa, where Nelson dignified forgiveness and Russia on a couple of occasions. Indeed, the problem is that they manage to keep most of the people fed and sheltered, just well enough to feel comfortable; while keeping them just scared enough to feel uncomfortable with any other solution.

That sounds exhausting...

So, do you think that it's not mad to test the bonderies?

Only everywhere in history, as Huxley suggested in "It's a brave new world" and Orwell suggests in "1984"...

Sometimes it's hormonal... 🙄

It's not weaponry that defeat's them, it's human dignity...

Well, you've succeeded in that...

Sweet Thursday Maybe not the best text, but...

A formal education isn't for everyone, we can't all be academics, after all someone has to dig the dirt. You can ask a physics professor, "how does a car work?" he/she can can give you a comprehensive explanation of the physics involved, but if you asked the same professor "why did my car stop working?" he/she wouldn't have a clue, you need a mechanic for that. So ask yourself, what is my version of a success? The wrong type of bias is never letting go of the bone, just in case it starts the car... 😉

That depends on the argument, but if you want a more insightful explanation about the role of philosophy in science; start a topic on the subject and I'm sure you'll get a comprehensive answer, from a lot of the member's, not least of which from @Eise. Yes, you're just the right side of simple gainsay to maintain an interest in trying to teach you a better approach. I enjoy our exchanges, that's why I'm so keen to here a different question... 🙏

There's nothing wrong with using a tool, if it's used correctly...

I'm sure that's what confused Hitler, when he read Nietzche... A biased mindset, as you've admitted. Science and philosophy are two sides of the same coin, philosophy identifies the bias and science drives around the chicane. Now!!! will you please, start a new topic on firmer ground, bc this race has run its course...

Do you sleep with your rope?

I think perhaps the best use for this tool is in understanding the languages of other species, and perhaps our best chance of meaningful dialogue if the alien's do get in touch. People trying to look smarter than they are, always trip themselves up, bc it's only a tool if they know how to use it. Both will evolve... 😉
