Gee, you Scots sure are a contentious people.
So when are fedoras proving that there is no God?
Pic related, a water test, testing for negatives is so common it's done daily to test water purity, food acceptability and so on.
>Huuuurrr mu atheist logic of not proving negatives.
Yup, it was a scam to make things difficult for the believer, you DO prove negatives, and often.
Like all atheist strategies, it was a falsehood all along.
>>3002869
How is this testing for a negative? You're testing for the existence of substances other than water that have been proven to exist. I'm Catholic but your post makes no sense
>>3002881
You're testing to see that the water is not contaminated. This type of testing is done religiously for example in the food industry.
>>3002893
No you're actually testing to see that the water is contaminated
How could consciousness be an emergent property of the brain?
How is it that at some point in our evolutionary history some unconscious biological machine developed a "subjective experience"? If we hone in on the very instant of the birth of consciousness, we may suppose that some event – perhaps a mutation and the subsequent development of a slightly different brain – resulted in some new organization of atoms, which were sufficient to produce consciousness.
But what could it be about this new configuration of atoms that made it sufficiently different to the configuration of atoms just prior? How could such a minuscule change to the arrangement of unconscious matter "switch on the lights" and give rise to subjective experience?
You might say that consciousness is non-binary and even worms and bacteria are conscious to some degree. But why stop there? Why not viruses? Self replicating DNA molecules? Atoms? And if atoms are "conscious", how could they possibly combine to produce more complicated "mental states"?
I just don't get it.
>>3002663
The problem is, friend, is that there is such a thing as the burden of proof. We don't understand consciousness, yet, but every shred of evidence we do have is that it comes from the brain.
If you are proposing something else you need to say what and provide suitable evidence, not simply ask lots of questions and nitpick.
Literally the same exact shit was said about memories. It's obviously a physical-tied property.
>>3002663
Do atoms not 'behave'? Do they not react to their situation? All things in the universe have rules, and as such act accordingly. Those rules just get a little complicated with enough dimension.

Daily reminder that no happy, normal and well adjusted person would ever post these threads
>>3001717
The fuck?
You're just as bad as the people who overly romanticise them times. Sure physical standard of living is greater, no one is arguing that. What they are arguing is that we have lost other psychological factors that contribute to happiness Eg community, belonging etc. So when you say that they will be physically better off the only person you're beating in the debate is the imaginary one you've attributed these views to.
What would be morally wrong against capping personal wealth at let's say one billion dollar? I understand that such a policy would be hugely difficult to esatblish because of the nature of wealth , but what would be against it from a moral perspective?
>>3001515
>what would be against it from a moral perspective?
Depends on the moral framework you are using
Leftist
>It is essentially theft of other people labor
Nationalist
>hoarding wealth is bad for the nation and its people and is therefore evil
Christian
>It is sinful to be greedy and sin should be eradicated to save the soul of the sinner
Utilitarian
>That money would be better used elsewhere
It all just depends on what angle you wanna come at it from you can come up with an infinite number of moral frameworks to support or oppose this
>>3001515
What we can take from communism for this is that when you limit the rich they will revolt and will convince the rest of the pop. to join them.
Rich people want to get richer and these systems limit that.
it would motivate uber rich people to invest in cloning technology so they could clone themselves and have 2 billion

>Hey Anon, you're gonna make sure to vote for me, right?
Wat do?
Is it morally justifiable (fuck off stirnerfags) to lie in order to protect lives?
Does this hold for all cases?
Consider this hypothetical situation:
>Undeniable evidence that the holocaust was faked comes into your possession
>You also have the means to disseminate it
>You know that doing so would lead to reprisals against the jews
Do you think it would be right to suppress this information in order to save their lives, even knowing that they would continue to exploit this falsehood?
Please keep all /pol/ and reddit posts out.
>>3004856
Imagine if the villagers knew the truth about King Jellybean
>>3004856
No, death is also the truth so let it happen.
>>3004856
From utilitaristic perspective lie would be the best, assuming the reprisals would be magnitudes above the exploitaition. But imo, lies don´t survive for long nad neither would the "jews" deserve that my tongue should lie for them.
P.S. when writitng hypotheticals use abstracts, do not wave red flags for shitposters to come in

Rosa Parks reminds me of the "I PUT THE BIBLE IN A FICTION SECTION I'M SUCH A REBEL" people on Facebook. There were people getting slaughtered in concentration camps and gulags all around the world and this dumb cunt gets called a brave fighter and a fierce female for sitting on the wrong seat in a bus. Jesus Christ lmao.

Which US president has bedded the most women? And how many?
Idt Clinton "bedded" any women in office. He merely penetrated a 20 year old with a plastic cigar tube in the Oval Office, before cumming on her dress.
Look at that trusting grin.

what is the psychology of the people who constantly "debunk" this black egypt shit, why do they revel in this idiotic culture war
>>3004142
No one took the black Egyptian shit that seriously desu and no one really gives a flying shit that Hannibal was portrayed as a black dude in some documentary.
But, since we live in a time where everyone has to be outraged people on boards like /pol/ look for shit to "debunk" and get "triggered" by. It's also why /pol/ is a good place to see interracial porn.

/his/ have you ever talked to an older person about history?
I used to work in a healthcare facility about a year back and I got to talk to a lot of older people. I've met a woman who was born in the 1920s and we used to talk about her growing up during that time, it was pretty interesting.
Talked to a few 'nam vets and even got to talk to a black ww2 airborne veteran who also fought in Korea and the man married a Korean woman.
There was also a woman who was 104 but her conditions wasn't too well so I really couldn't talk to her.
Of course there's also my grandparents but they don't say much.
>>3004104
Just my grandparents really. Hearing how they lived through the Great Depression is pretty sad then going to fight in the War and seeing the camps. After talking about it, it seems like my life is meaningless and uneventful.
i feel like i cheapen my grandparents memory when i post about them on the internet so im not going to
>>3004403

How does it feel knowing your grandparents are shills?
Has the keynesian economics meme gone too far?
We still had the 2008 recession, so apparently not.

So that he doesn't create communism.
>>3003997
I don't see the connection between working and eating. There's this metaphysical obsession with merit, with "working hard" and "earning" something, but biology and human society simply doesn't work that way, it's a pipe dream built on nothing. Some of the most vital organisms in the animal kingdom are parasites. Likewise in human society, some of the most successful groups (jews, women) are parasitical by nature.
