"I shattered my leg and broke my back when I was younger. I can remember being in so much ripping pain I was begging the paramedics to put me to sleep so that I could wake up after the surgeries. But they couldn't. I had to be able to answer…"

"Maybe gravity is god? Are you sure you don't believe in the supernatural?"

"I would argue that science and religion and philosophy all care about the truth equally. A priest, a particle physicist and an ethicist are all passionate about the truth and often obsess about the truth their whole lives. In this aspect I…"

"Thanks again Reg."

"Indeed. That is but one of many criticisms of just one of Kuhns theses."

"This guy relies heavily on the philosophy of science of Popper up to about 4:00. Then it becomes neo-pragmatist like the philosophy of Nicolas Rescher. A very interesting fusion of two rather different philosophies. Ari...if you are interested in…"

"If there were infinitely different universes which spanned all possible laws (or trends) then no higher power is necessary."

"+1 for unseen's taste in cinema."

"Unseen maybe you should calm down a little. I recommended you read the book and nothing more. As you're interested in the topic I thought you might want to read a book I found useful."

"You should read the book by Michael Ignatief "The lesser evil". He covers the efficacy of torture and the conditions in which extreme torture should be used. I wasn't at all convinced by his theory but it's a good first book to…"

"The writer of this letter is bananas. I strictly limit all (or any) contact with those who preach or who don't play by the rules of discourse. I find interactions with such people useless and extremely toxic and useless. There are many other…"

"There is nothing spiritual or mystical about saying "I don't know" or "we don't have the tools yet to investigate it" or "no theory so far is unfalsifiable". It is a default position. There's no faith or…"

"1. That there are recognizable patterns in nature doesn't prove that a supernatural being fixed those patterns. That leap of logic requires a large overdose of faith. It can be explained rationally without any magic. 2. Once people learnt the…"
