if you don't think how and why are interchangeable then why does every argument you make happen exclusively in all the areas where the 'how' is vague and none of the areas where the 'how' is well defined?
could it be that you actually have no argument in any area where the 'how' is...
lol believing in god in 2018
all these arguments are just new ways of playing god of the gaps
people only ask 'why' questions when they can't understand the 'how'. no one gives a why once they understand the how, and even people predisposed to mystical thinking never apply a 'why' thought to...
register of commitments is a great idea but the name is very official
i have made this new list also, but called it "stuff i should probably do"
thanks happy for your terribly named great idea
googling anxiety has revealed to me that there are many different underlying causes to anxiety
dealing with anxiety is best aimed at identifying the underlying cause most relevant to you, and seeking advice from a healthcare professional
what about when you know it'll be fine, you're just anxious?
'hopeless' has very specific connotations. not all forms of stress are derived from 'hopelessness'
what about when someone has anxiety that isn't related to viewing the future through a hopeless lens?
what about anxiety from over-excitement, overstimulation, drugs?
it seems there's many forms of anxiety that have nothing to do with 'viewing the future through a hopeless lens'. that might...
'convincingly' is a very vague goalpost that most people don't want to waste their time chasing
it comes across as a challenge rather than an open call for sharing ideas. it sets up a social interaction that looks something like, 'you guys go out of your way to entertain me, while i sit here...
because:
1. you give the impression that you yourself are obviously not interested in having your mind changed, so that's 50% of the people involved in a discussion with you that aren't going to have their position changed
2. the way you write is pretentious and faux-intelligent. you use...
on topic:
when i was a kid i was religious, then i slowly became agnostic and then eventually just atheist. took about 8-9 years to happen?
my mind has changed on a lot of surface things but on most big issues per minuend's point, i'm pretty much the same as before. a lot of the time it's also...
i'm generally open to ideas until the point i've synthesized enough information and then it's unlikely my mind will change unless there's some real big revelation that i wasn't aware of before
i think school runs parallel to the working world in its expectations. at work you have to meet arbitrary deadlines, produce content on demand that meets arbitrary expectations a lot of the time
only real difference is you get paid for it. education has been geared towards capital output rather...
there's not really a consistent argument that makes eating tortured animals a moral behaviour. or if there is i'm yet to come across it
at the end of the day it's just a selfish investment/benefit trade-off. but those same inconsistencies that make justifications for eating meat don't really...
lots of my scores were 69 so that's neat
seems like over half of these questions are directly copied from a big5 test i've done. not just in theme or intent, but actually copied word for word. the increase in variables seems like added complexity that doesn't actually add value to the test.
a few points:
- 95% internal consistency would demonstrate that a system can reliably produce the same result, but not that the system is accurate
- the methodology of how they reach 95% isn't demonstrated or outlined in detail and given that it's behind a paywall that costs $90 an hour or...
if you wanna discuss the validity of different typing methodologies that's fine. but do it without the personal insults
pmj you're appealing to an external system of typing that you've interpreted as having a measure of objectivity and reliability. pmj feels certainty because you have the...
yeah that sucks artsu, i don't really think forced medication is reasonable unless people's lives or well-being is at risk. and even then it should be re-evaluated regularly
i'm not unreceptive to the idea that people who experience a mental illness grants them a unique perspective. by the...
i think that a lot of people who experience mental illnesses often resort to rationalizing their problems in a positive light as a coping mechanism, which is something you can only really assess case by case - but the majority of the time i hear that kind of assessment from someone diagnosed...
even if i'm sceptical of such a claim, i'm fine with that sort of assertion since it's from the perspective of personal experience. conflating it to schizophrenia generally seems spurious though.
it's good that you don't find the disease debilitating or as obstructive to your life as it can...
i've taken hallucinogens yes
but 'benefits' is stretching it a bit
government ruling on these things seems to stem a lot more from the fact that the drugs are very easy to use inappropriately and that in a lot of cases, that's what happens and the consequences are severe. we can argue that the...
it's almost like it's bullshit hey
it's such an arbitrary ordering of terms that appeals to people with tendency towards MaGiCaL ThInkinG because it puts all the MAgiCAl ThiNKinG at the top
any system that talks about The Next Step™ is very likely to exist as a means of monetising people's...
when people say systemic, they're just referring to a collection of behaviours and thought-patterns individuals hold
you don't get to handwave things that happen at a systemic level and be like
"it seems like there's a trend where the actions of individuals are seen for what they are instead...
that 'point' is exactly the kind of vague meaningless tripe i'm talking about
the actions of individuals are the actions of individuals. wow.
"people do stuff" - Lagomorph, acting as if this astute observation makes his incoherent subjectivist rambling actually mean something
you sure showed me
you actually started in this thread with a clear point to make, and all of your "clarification" is actually just resorting to more and more vague concepts as the gaps for your ideas are slowly closed off
i'm not interested in having you "clarify" anything, because at every single talking point...
everything you're saying that's actually coherent is being contested, so now you're resorting to ever more vague and incoherent things because nothing you're saying actually holds up to scrutiny
god of the gaps, go away
"whatever one believes is true"
at the point anyone makes that comment in...
what's meant by binary reality and living by both systems simultaneously?
can you give an example of a person living in a binary reality, and an example of someone living by both systems?
so just a non-religious affiliated charity?
there's a lot of public service programs out there already, which i think religious institutions just get in the way of. i'd much rather see religious institutions paying taxes (hello 40billion dollar surplus in the Australian Catholic Church that...
