Descartes desired certitude and usefulness vis-a-vis the material world. Sextus [Pyrrho] wanted ataraxia. — Leontiskos

Neuroscience tells us how the brain behaves when we think; it cannot tell us what thinking is — — Wayfarer

... "Ultimate reality (Brahman) is infinite, eternal, and beyond time, space, or change, has no shape or qualities, and is the source of everything" ... — Gnomon

Can you rebut the arguments that I provided from Gerson, Feser, Russell? — Wayfarer

There has been eight years of 'MAGA' America, and we see, loud and clear, where the hate, violence and vitriol is coming from. Not. MAGA. — AmadeusD

MAGA, it seems, consists of its bewildered and besotted followers. If that's Conservatism, it's mutated considerably. — Ciceronianus

@180 Proof will be very happy! — Banno

So it’s Multiverses all the way down then? — Punshhh

↪180 Proof So which one are you? — Punshhh

There is a point though, only an idealist [immaterislist], of some kind, would restrict what is to what can be said, or known by a person. Surely by contrast, a physicalist [materialist] of some kind would allow any of an infinite number of other possibilities and the fact that we cannot observe them directly doesn’t preclude their existence. — Punshhh

Define what you mean by "lefty wokeness"?
— 180 Proof

The left. The not-‘MAGA’. — Fire Ologist

[Is] maga the only evidence of the disease of not thinking post enlightenment? — Fire Ologist

And an illusion is something that only a mind can entertain. — Wayfarer

Or, more to my point, is lefty wokeness a symptom of not thinking too, ...? — Fire Ologist

If you think the universe was preceded by nothing, then you must explain how nothing transitioned into something. — ucarr

Any one-sentence OP is basically click bait. — Wayfarer

beyond our reality — an-salad

Tranwomen are women. Transmen are men. True or false? — Philosophim

What emerges as fundamental are the invariances. The constraints of symmetry and then the degrees of freedom that result. — apokrisis

I think it most plausible to consider that what we cannot introspect is 'neural', and that it is precisely it's character as non-mental that makes it impossible to introspect. — Janus

Do we really have free will?

Man can do what he wills, but he cannot will what he wills. — Arthur Schopenhauer

It's not that we must avoid pains -- it's that we shouldn't be the cause of our own mental anguish; the pains aren't so bad as they stand, and the pleasures are not so alluring that we need to punish ourselves for not obtaining them. — Moliere

As you stated, eudaimonia is hardly objective. — javi2541997

But my post was in direct relation to how Epicureanism was outlined by 180 Proof. And with that description I yet disagree. — javra

What are the bad pleasures according to Plato? — javi2541997

... a world equal to nothing is impossible

Do you see errors? — ucarr
