Science is a method or tool used for measuring objective reality. It is not reality itself, it is a method or tool of learning and discovery.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2017-06-30 at 9:22 PM UTC in Real Reality RevealedOne perculiarity of our times is that people are so quick to accept the reality they see,touch, taste and smell. We do this automatically, disregarding the fact that every preceding age was totally mystified by existence, to the point that Mystics,poets, philosophers, sages,and spiritual teachers, without exception, insisted that there was an invisible, hidden dimension which constituted the "real" reality. In a hidden realm could be found God and the gods, heavens and hells, a domain of perfect forms, according to Plato, Nirvana, According to the Buddha, or some visions of spirits, ancestors, shamanistic creatures, and so on .
Where did this "real" reality go? The easy answer was simple. The hidden dimension was extinguished by science. I a scientific age, nothing was considered real unless it was formed by bits of matter, molecules, atoms, subatomic particles, bound by elementary forces. On this foundation, which is often called physicalist, reality became consistent from top to bottom, from the farthest galaxies to the domain of the quantum, leaving everyday reality - rocks.
But the easy answer has been unsatisfactory for over a century, even by the standards of science,and now physicalism hangs on by dint of scientific superstition, given that actually proving it is impossible. Without a doubt modern physics has revived a hidden, invisable, formless dimension that exists beyond time and space. This dimension preceded the Big Bang, without going into detail, we can accept what modern cosmology asserts, that something came out of nothing, the something being our universe and the nothing a formless dimension we can dub the pre-created state(even though there are problems with any word assigned to describe it, since words are a creation in time and space also).
So the mystery of "real" reality has returned with vengeance.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Dargo Wrong. Even if you put a gun to my head and say, "Choose Option A," I can override my will to live and choose Option B if I so desire.
Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills. In other words, you can choose option B over option A if you so desire, but you can't choose to desire it or not. Where is the freedom in that?
Freewill is not conceptually coherent. Either our wills are determined by prior causes (desires) and we are not responsible for them, or they are the product of chance and we are not responsible for them.
The popular conception of freewill rests on two assumptions: that each of us could have behaved differently than we did in the past, and that we are the conscious source of most of our thoughts and actions. Both of these assumptions are false.
There is no way I can influence my own desires - for what tools of influence would I use? Other desires? To say that I would have done otherwise had I wanted to is simply to say I would have lived in another universe had I been in a different universe. Compatibilism amounts to nothing more than an assertion of the following creed: "A puppet is free as long as he loves his strings."The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Dargo I know we can predict some behavior. Don't selectively edit my posts you cunt.
Tell me, if a scientist can accurately predict the outcome of a decision you are about to make before you are consciously aware that you have actually made a choice, where is the freedom in this decision?
What degree of human behavior prediction would satisfy you? I mean, if the weatherman could only accurately predict the weather 50% of the time, would you believe the weather has freewill?Then what do you do with people who are not perpetually violent? If a man murders his wife, chances are actually rather low he will go out and murder someone else. So, for one-time crimes, what should we do? Just have a restorative chat? They couldn't help themselves in that instance after all, and won't become repeat offenders.
I don't know, I don't agree with you that anything would have to change at all. We are obviously subject to influences, detriments to crimes like murdering your wife would influence reasonable, sane people to not commit these crimes.
Regardless, freewill is impossible. You are driven by various forces beyond your control. You are not even the author of your own thoughts. I mean, you don't think about what you're going to think about it before you think it. Thoughts just arise in the mind.
If you really believe freewill exists, give me an example of freewill.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

If that 13 year old signaled(?) that she would want me to join, I'd definitely fuck her. The fuck is wrong with you all?

Originally posted by hydromorphone Just because someone is a pedophile doesn't mean they have ever harmed a child. Pedophilia is a condition, not an action. Some pedos goes their whole life without harming anyone and living "pedo-celibate". For all we know Sophie is one of these. Why should someone who isn't harming anyone be forced to undergo anything?
I agree that people who have not harmed anyone shouldn't have to undergo anything.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Sophie I don't have to do anything. You are entitled to feel some type of way about pedophilia but that's really not my problem. You'll remember, there are already laws against this kind of thing. If people think something ought to happen to me(However unjust that may be) then they should come and get me if they can.
Protip: They can't.
Hear me out. I know you don't have to do anything. I am not judging you personally. I am just asking you as a fellow member of a community of people who were once dedicated to the the spread of information and truth through free speech and good old fashioned conversation, to defend your position and create an argument to convince society to change their minds about pedophilia. I believe that if your position is truly the correct and rational position, you should be able to make a compelling argument simply by exlaining your reasoning.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2017-05-29 at 9:03 PM UTC in Are pedos monsters or just sick?When I've talked to Sophie about this in the past, he seemed to agree that his brain must have physical differences from the norm. Whether or not we label those differences as abnormality/irregularity/illness is mostly a matter of semantics, imo.
Based on my understanding of our freewill (or rather our lack of it), people like Sophie cannot really be blamed for who they are, but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be consequences and solutions for that sort of behavior.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by RisiR † No, I'm just wondering why you are such a bitch.
When did I hurt your feelings that much?
I cannot recall a single time I've ever felt hurt by anything you've posted. If I recall correctly, every time we have had a "disagreement" it was because you had perceived something I had posted as ill-intended or malicious, which caused you to have a little emotional outburst over literally nothing.
Also I don't know if dargo is telling the truth or not, but i also dont care.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
