Miscellaneous Crap

@Rantandreason All your points are fair. But, feminism didn't take such radical views when it began. If you talk to feminist philosophers, they don't fit into the schema you have provided. They aren't radicals. What you seem to be suggesting is that the extreme elements of some movement define th...

TYT, you're better than this. You shouldn't have even talked about this story. Teenagers say a lot of stupid stuff, and while they are responsible for the things they said, they are ignorant, immature kids. If you were to make a video talking about every racist video made by a teen, you'd never s...

By the way, an attractive person talking intelligently about culture and philosophy is SO HOT. I personally would love to see more videos about culture and philosophy (whether you wear swimwear or everyday clothes is your prerogative).

Decent voice, beautiful, young. Looks like you meet all the requirements for becoming a pop star. Of course, being manipulable and corruptible always helps.

Getting fit isn't as advantageous as intelligence, evolutionarily. It was our intelligence that led us to dominate the world. Also, our fat-storing mechanisms that worked well a 100,000 years ago are now detrimental to us. Hopefully, education and better medical science will lead to better societ...

It is an interesting narrative. I don't think it is meant to be a thorough analysis of Obama's psychology. It seems rather like a way to compare his behaviour to disorders.

@atheoexistentialist So no one is in a position to say that a person's life is good or bad. Unless the person making the judgment has been sure that the person's birth is no longer making an impact in some way.

Step 0: You are born and subsequently indoctrinated.

Step 1: Lose religion

Step 2: Maintain atheism

Step 3: Undergo an existential crisis.

Step 4: Give yourself a project (or many projects) in order to create a life you find meaningful and worth living.

Step 5: Die.

I find it interesting that conspiracies only offer very limited and often circumstancial or irrelevant evidence. They also include ideas about the hidden intentions of people.

@Lichtspielhaus234 The universe has a purpose? Can you empirically verify that claim? I suspect not. Can you provide a logical argument that the universe has a purpose? I suspect not. Secondly, explanations are not causes. Think of a person being shot and killed. The cause of a person's death is ...

Isn't it possible that one could define the essential structure and all the functions of consciousness? The essential structure of conscious experience you can get from phenomenology (or at least the phenomenologists think so); and one can get the functions of consciousness from cognitive science...
