Hundreds of thousands of years of human brutality....
yet somehow %26#039;humanity%26#039; means compassion.
Go figure.
Why the humanizm is losting from the world? r we really forgetting our humanity?
Yes,and,Yes. The role models that used to motivate ourselves as better human beings are all but dead. They have been supplanted by the %26#039;cult of personality%26#039;,corporate greed and out and out fraudulent politicians , who themselves are corporate puppets. There seems to be no accountability anywhere for their actions..eg..USA,Zimbawabe,Myanmar,Somal... Lanka,Japan,China...the UN is,unfortunately,a %26#039;paper tiger%26#039;.
And..%26quot;..the meek shall inherit the world..%26quot;. I will tell you what the meek shall inherit..a polluted world..a new plague..living on an old boot that was once called %26#039;Earth%26#039;..the rats will have long gone to seed the universe with their droppings. I%26#039;m sorry..it%26#039;s too,too late to change this now...
Why the humanizm is losting from the world? r we really forgetting our humanity?
Do you want to do something about it or just complain?
The number one humanist in the world is barely known to anyone but university presidents and heads of state. He has 230 honorary doctorates from serious universities, yet rarely gets a line on his rare visits to the USA.
The reason for that is that many complain and few wish to take action that involves learning new viewpoints.

Is it possible not to make mistake in your life? since I'm affraid of karma?
Karma isn%26#039;t just about the mistake they can be forgiven it is how you react to the mistake. Remember life is 10% action and 90% reaction. Peace come unto you.
Is it possible not to make mistake in your life? since I%26#039;m affraid of karma?
I think that if a person was aware, early on, of the idea of Karma, he or she might make much more careful choices in life. It is not possible to avoid all mistakes. We make mistakes in the sense that we can%26#039;t always predict the outcome of our choices, and we make mistakes knowing that our actions are selfish and may hurt others. But I think an awareness of Karma can lead to greater thoughtfulness about making choices, and a better life.

To err is human.There is good karma and bad karma. Some of us do our best, and no God can expect more from us humans.

there are mistakes that cannot recovery after I have done because I have ruined of my friend%26#039;s future and his life. I control him all these years over a decade. 247 keeps an watchful eyes on him.
If he has a gf, I used her gf to whistle blowing.
If he has a family, I asked his family to watch him for me.
If he has friends, I corrupt his friend to be my friends.
If he has a job, I arrange fake interview for him
If he has a design and invention, I steal it from him
If he has a wonderful day, I ruin his happiness of the day.
If he has a lucky strike, I forfeited it his lucky prize.
if he has a food, I pissed him with all folks around him.
If he has a car to drive with, I confiscated his privileges...
If he has a lawyer to assist, I fear his lawyer away....
If he has a good business, I destroyed his business...
If he has a safety zone, I endanger his life as I see deem fit.
If he has a oversea area, I traitor him on foreigner%26#039;s land.
If he has a good life, I take his good life away.
If he has a colour, I colour him badly.
and many more.....
What has he done to deserve this? He covered for me but I crossed him.
This he is my life......haha..I am reaching 40 soon....and with 0 cents to survive.

Just make causes toward your enlightenment. YOUR enlightenment, not that of some ulterior motivated shave-pate who seeks your support for his enlightenment.
Reply:Then it might be helpful to understand karma.
Karma is not about whether or not you make a mistake, this is a Western interpretation. The issue is that your intention is taken into consideration in Karma. Mistakes are tolerable under a system like karma.
If you acted with a good intention but a situation turned out badly, karma will come back to bite you.
At least that is the theory of karma which is extremely difficult to argue logically.
Reply:If you went through your life without a mistake it wouldnt be much of a life sadly. We learn and develop character through mistakes. Im sure youve made mistakes already like burnt yourself or something . How would you know what was the right thing to do if there was wrong way of doing it.Its all a balance, go out and make some mistakes, live a bit
Reply:We are only human beings, we are bound to commit mistakes. Its not about how many times u have made mistakes in the past, its about learning from it and persevering to be a better person. Since you are afraid of karma, then you must think a lot of times before u do an act. Do what u think is right according to the laws of GOD.
Reply:ohhh u dont want to mistake thats amazing but have u ever thgt making mistake make u learn something which makes u careful for whole life .As far karma it is always said if u ding anything just see is it benifiacial and not hurting any1 and beneficial to u or other also if benficial for u but not ofr other then whats use doing this karma.
If u r saving a person but telling lie means he has done anything wrong thats bad karma...and if u saving person who is innocent and is blammed for something that was wrong saving him is Good karma

Reply:Not really..
If it%26#039;s a personal or embarrassing question that you need to ask yet don%26#039;t want to ask friends/family, then this is the perfect place.

Reply:Dick head.
Reply:It is not so pathetic as it is revealing about the nature of human relationships. Here one seeks contact, consolation, and advice away from the context of whom one is, because knowing one another implies not only emotional involvement, but uneasy recognition of self. It is easier to deal with others and their opinions when one controls the situation, and certainly with a stranger, one can control what (s)he wishes to reveal about self.
One can be anything here - what (s)he would like to seem in reality, doesn%26#039;t dare seem in reality, or even let the darkest side of personality prevail. It%26#039;s all a game, isn%26#039;t it? And oh so comfortingly anonymous!
Actually, pathos resides in the human condition as a whole.
Reply:Knowledge is a rare commodity because we can give it or sell it and still keep it. In fact, it increases with use because sharing it with others reinforces what we ourselves know.
So, no, it%26#039;s not pathetic and I thank you for your question. Ask another.
Reply:The sand drift? Everybody is a stranger to a degree and a family member to a degree. The question of where to place the line of difference is individually answered.
Reply:Not really, because sometimes a stranger can see your question differently from a member of your own family/friends. Sometimes it needs an outsider to help you either solve your question, or think about things in a better light,,, anyway, all advice is helpful...
Reply:Nope. Some of us are quite clever.
It%26#039;s also sometimes easier to get a straight answer from a stranger.
Reply:Ignorance is unfortunate and less than ideal, but only a bad thing when one chooses to remain ignorant. So, I%26#039;d say asking questions, of anyone, is far from pathetic. True, a stranger may not be the best source for factual/correct information, especially via cyberspace--because of anonymity, the true identity of an individual is unknown. The validity of the answers obtained is also unknown. But, from what I have seen, it seems that a large number of people ask questions to get others%26#039; opinions, and at times, advice. Again, strangers aren%26#039;t the %26quot;best%26quot; source for this, but at times the advice given here is very thoughtful and apt. And if the person posing the question is satisfied with the answer, they probably count the experience as positive. Also, it seems that a great deal of people pose questions or statement/questions to encourage debate and discussion (some seem to enjoy causing controversy). I enjoy the questions that invite debate and discussion. Maybe I%26#039;m a bit slow-witted this morning, but no, I don%26#039;t readily see what you are implying by %26quot;catch the drift.%26quot; =)
Reply:At allow us to ask without humiliation (generally speaking) and we can answer in truth (that is what I try to do anyway) without fear of rejection.
Reply:Hardly. Quite the opposite. Not asking someone for the answer to a question that we do not know if foolish.
The most common example is the person who refuses to ask for directions. Wandering for minutes and hours, wasting time and wasting gas, rather just asking someone.
Reply:Not really, though I think it depends on the type of question. Lots of people get on here and ask questions about cooking, movies, job hunting, sports, and so on, and I can%26#039;t see how that%26#039;s anything near pathetic. On the other hand, I will say that some of the marriage/relationship questions strike me as odd. Of course, free advice is usually worth what you pay for it.

There is no general definition.
In a metaphysical sense there may be one as a supposed creative force for the Universe we perceive. In a mystical sense, there may be as many definitions as there are religions.
One item is obvious--to attempt to approach the concept of god with ordinary Aristotelian Logic is doomed. In that sense, god is paradox. That means the wrong tool is being used, nothing more.

Who is more intelligent - a girl or a boy?
considering all the sides of life-whether it is emtional or mental or physical.
Who is more intelligent - a girl or a boy?
Ridiculous. Both the same.
Who is more intelligent - a girl or a boy?
GIRL
Reply:being a guy my self i would say girls are
Reply:Men%26#039;s brains are larger, but intelligence can%26#039;t be judged on ones sex
Reply:Neither, kids are all stupid.
Reply:girls they mature faster .. but then at a certain time the boys will catch on!
Reply:They are somehow the same you know... any of them could be more intelligent you know it actually depends a lot of the IQ... although I would like to state that all of the geniuses have been boys... Isaac Newton.... Einstein... etc
Reply:Depends on the person not the gender, and dont you start getting cocky girls.
Reply:it depends
Reply:Well, if you base it on the questions asked here on Y!A, then most definitely not girls...
Reply:Usually it girls.
Reply:girl because they are smart enough to not fight and get hurt. they just talk their way to fight. we are more complicated which makes us more intelligent. just saying.
Reply:I don%26#039;t think there is really a set answer for this one it%26#039;s kinda like comparing apples and oranges because of the differences are so great.So basically it is more the individual than the actual sex of a person.
Reply:emotionally- girls. in school years, you think everything through that you are going to say, if its not cool, or rude, or weird, etc., so the other girls dont kick you out. We go through a lot more in middle school and high school than most boys ever do in theirs lives.
The othr 2.. mental and physical, that really depends.
Reply:Boy = 9 missing 1
Girl = 1 missing 9
Combine boys and girls= 10 (perfect.)
Reply:boys because we rule, but when u look at the same, they just both have different strengths and weak
Reply:Hmm...A girl is more careful and can do many things at once..
but guys can only do one thing at once thats why they can do greater and more difficult things in life....
I think the brain of a boy is structured for advance logical reasoning. Girls are different. some get to do great things and become someone in life....
Reply:boys are smarter just look at directors and kings people who make computers and people who are into science most of them are boys.
I%26#039;m glad I%26#039;m a boy cause boys are smarter then girls :)
Reply:Girl : Always look into details, have more emotions. More mature in doing stuff and thinking stuff more emotionally like to think stuff with feelings
Guy: Brain is more...explored? And physically much stronger. Mentally cold-blooded-er than girls
Reply:Can intelligence even be measured? The capacity for reasoning and understanding in regards to any aspect of life varies from one individual to another, irrespective of gender.
Reply:a girl
Reply:sometime girl is more intelligent then boy and sometime boy is more intelligent then girl. actually it depend on the situation.
Reply:I mean in general, boys have somewhat more emotional intelligence but use it in different ways as girls. Mentally boys are raised to be tough and girls more understanding so mentally girls are more intelligent, in general.Physically boys are more intelligence as far as being made better for physical activities but girls%26#039; bodies mature quicker, in general. But there are always the exeptions to the general picture.
Reply:It%26#039;s almost impossible to judge gender intelligence because it is so different. Evolution has given the girl more dexterity and stronger intuition and foresight than the boys. She also has a higher pain tolerance and greater concentration. Language skills are superior.
However, the boy has greater physical strength, better defensive skills, and (believe it or not) more ability in building physical things. Without boys and men, cities would not be built and defended. On the other hand, without girls, men would not be inspired to build.
The two groups handle conflict differently. The male reaction is fight and win. Take it all. The female reaction is talk it out. Compromise. It very much depends on the situation as to who should be sent in to negotiate.
Reply:it really depends..because girls studies usually and is careful, unlike a guy, they don%26#039;t study and get pretty good marks too..so girls are more intelligent, but if they don%26#039;t study guys are more intelligent.

Reply:Deffentally the girl :)
Reply:I think most women are more emotionally intelligent.
Mental it depends either one could be smarter than the other.
Reply:If you mean intelligence in terms of grades on school tests it is well known that girls are more intelligent. This is also reflected by the fact that more girls go to college than boys and more graduate. But part of this is a matter of motivation. Boys have to see a more direct benefit to %26quot;intelligent behavior%26quot; before they will do it. They will not be %26quot;intelligent%26quot; on demand as easily.
In terms of IQ tests boys and girls typically have the same distributions if you blend the verbal and math scores together. But historically boys have done better than girls in math and vise versa for the verbal. But I think it largely depends on how verbal the home life is. For example I would read to my kids for an hour every evening and my daughter got a perfect 800 SAT verbal but the interesting thing is that my son made a higher verbal score (745) than his math (690) on his SAT.
Reply:boy, but they dont use their brain.....

Why do people think that everything they do is superior to what the next person does?
It%26#039;s ingrained from childhood, often in the name of family pride or school spirit. To wit:
%26quot;We don%26#039;t do that in OUR family.%26quot;
%26quot;WE%26#039;RE NUMBER ONE!%26quot;
So a child grows up assuming that whatever group he/she is a part of, is the best one.

It is usually a product of thinking my way is the %26quot;right way%26quot;. People can often use their personal morals and ethics to put down others.
Asking anyone to admit that they might be wrong, is a battle that I just avoid.

It doesn%26#039;t hurt me to tell someone that%26#039;s a pretty nifty thing they just did. On the other hand, I know that they can%26#039;t compete with me in other areas. Ok, so maybe I%26#039;m guilty, too. Ego.

Reply:They are right to do so. It is a matter of interest.
To individuals, the ultimate motivator of their interest is the preservation of their own life and the acquisition of the means to sustain it. Human action (including thought), is the currency by which he achieves this preservation. His interests, therefore, life with his actions, in both making them better, and making them appear better.
One way individuals, by their nature, handle their actions is through custom. This ensures both the consistency of their actions, and the acceptance of them within their community.
If an individual were ever to go against his interests, he risks losing control over the preservation of his life, as he has become accustomed to doing.
So an individual is never wrong in defending his course of action, but only in the particular action they take part in (if it%26#039;s objectively objectionable), or the means by which they support their intent to commit said action. Irrational approaches to behavior will likely yield objectionable behavior and the very same risk on his life he%26#039;s attempting to avoid. So it is not in believing his course of action to be superior that an individual is at fault, but only in adopting an irrational one.

What is systematic philosophy, and how did Plato contribute to the birth of it?
Any help is greatly appreciated...
What is systematic philosophy, and how did Plato contribute to the birth of it?
By preserving Socrates.
Plato himself was a bit of a dunce.
What is systematic philosophy, and how did Plato contribute to the birth of it?
%26quot;System%26quot; is not well defined in the philosophical world. I found this description, almost word for word, in several places that should have been able to give better descriptions:
%26quot;a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school%26quot;.
Generally, a %26quot;system%26quot; is one whereby all questions can be answered that are addressed--by theme or by subject--within the philosopher%26#039;s writings, and WITHOUT CONTRADICTION.
Systems break down very easily when contradictions are found. But not all questions of philosophy can be answered by all %26quot;systems,%26quot; because the theme or subject was not addressed by the author. By %26quot;theme%26quot; and %26quot;subject%26quot; I do not mean such things as %26quot;third trimester abortions.%26quot; I mean the epistemology and metaphysics and ethics and politics that would allow one to draw a conclusion about such abortions based on those four subjects.
This is because for a %26quot;system%26quot; to work, we must be able to draw conclusions based on how the author described %26quot;the workings%26quot; of his/her metaphysics; of his/her epistemology; etc. It has nothing to do with specifics, such as Aristotle saying that essences were %26quot;in the things themselves.%26quot; It has to do with WHY he said that. From that %26quot;why%26quot; we may be allowed to draw other conclusions.
However, a system must be more than disjointed declarations of beliefs. Ayn Rand, who has some of the most vehement critics of modern philosophers, has been said not to have a %26quot;system,%26quot; thereby disqualifying her as a philosopher.
But if you read her %26quot;Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology,%26quot; she explains in detail how Man comes to have ideas.
Then you read John Galt%26#039;s Speech from %26quot;Atlas Shrugged,%26quot; and you see a non-contrdictory system at work detailing how a civilization must operate and why its principles must allow for the individual sovereignty the Constitution was intended to insure--but which, because of its own flaws, is slowly failing.
Then you read her book (and I do not mean to imply they must be read in any particular order) %26quot;The Virtue of Selfishness%26quot; and you come to understand the nature of %26quot;rational self-interest,%26quot; which was the cornerstone of her ethical system. She also wrote a book addressing only the topic of art. Other pieces of her writing fill in her system, (she wrote monthly newsletters, a newspaper column, etc) though it is true she did not address all themes and all subjects. That is an impossibility. Even Aristotle and Plato did not do that.
But until Plato, no philosopher did such a thing at all. Socrates is said to have had a system, but Socrates did no writing, so it was all up to Plato to describe the system of Socrates.
A system is, in my opinion, enough logically-drawn perceptions and conclusions (concepts) by an author so that one may extrapolate certain other answers even when the author did not explicity address them.
What is systematic philosophy, and how did Plato contribute to the birth of it?
By preserving Socrates.
Plato himself was a bit of a dunce.
What is systematic philosophy, and how did Plato contribute to the birth of it?
%26quot;System%26quot; is not well defined in the philosophical world. I found this description, almost word for word, in several places that should have been able to give better descriptions:
%26quot;a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school%26quot;.
Generally, a %26quot;system%26quot; is one whereby all questions can be answered that are addressed--by theme or by subject--within the philosopher%26#039;s writings, and WITHOUT CONTRADICTION.
Systems break down very easily when contradictions are found. But not all questions of philosophy can be answered by all %26quot;systems,%26quot; because the theme or subject was not addressed by the author.

One shot a life is likely an indication about the quality of life the way that it is and that is usually a question of perception.
Life could be a lot better for many of us and it can also be a lot worse. The problem is that we can believe that life would turn out better when it actually could turn out worse.

Eminem Lose Yourself (Dirty Version) Lyrics
Look....if you had...one shot....or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted...in one moment
Would you capture it...or just let it slip, yo..
[Verse 1]
His palms are sweety, knees weak, arms are heavy
There%26#039;s vomit on his sweater already, mom%26#039;s spaghetti
He%26#039;s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won%26#039;t come out
He%26#039;s choking how, everybody%26#039;s choking now
The clock%26#039;s run out, time%26#039;s up, over BLAOW !
Snap back to reality, ohh, there goes gravity
Ohh there goes Rabbit, he choked
He%26#039;s so mad, but he won%26#039;t give up that easy, nope
He won%26#039;t have it, he knows his whole back%26#039;s to this rope
It don%26#039;t matter, he%26#039;s dope
He knows that, but he%26#039;s broke
He%26#039;s so sad that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that%26#039;s when it%26#039;s
back to the lab again, yo this whole rap ****
He better go capture this moment and hope it don%26#039;t pass him
You better-lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo...

[Verse 2]
Souls escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me King, as we move toward a, a new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom%26#039;s
Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder
Homie grows hotter, he blows it%26#039;s all over
These hoes is all on him, coast to coast shows
He%26#039;s known as the Globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He%26#039;s grown farther from home, he%26#039;s no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose %26#039;cause here goes the cold water
These hoes don%26#039;t want him no mo%26#039;, he%26#039;s cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows

Only recently have I taken the thought that we do not carry on existing after death seriously. And I watch people being miserable and being angry and just being agitated in general and they%26#039;re not thinking about how to make the most of things.
Even if we are not able to control what we are doing, we have a destiny or fate. We do have the ability to control our attitudes towards things, so we may as well.
Reply:lol.....
its not crazy, but it sounds crazy when you ask it...
thanks for asking btw.
Reply:Crazy is an understatement. Life is full of misery, loneliness, suffering, and it%26#039;s all over much too soon.
Reply:Not really, as the next is ever lasting...use good judgement in this one!
Reply:Not at all. By definition, life is a one shot deal. Without the impending fact of its eventual death, can you say an entity is alive? No. To be alive is to face death. This is an obvious truth about life that can be easily observed.
There%26#039;s no cause for believing about life that which you don%26#039;t observe, but only imagine. Assumed characteristics such as afterlives, eternal lives, re-doable or repeatable lives, don%26#039;t come from an observable definition of life, but from an imagined one.
Another idea that contributes to making the truth of a one shot life seem crazy, is the confusing of life with consciousness, as in thinking that when the body dies, the consciousness persists (%26quot;lives%26quot; on). People will often refer to consciousness by other terms, such as mind, spirit, or soul.
It should be obvious to everyone that life and consciousness are not the same thing, since throughout life we often drift in an out of consciousness (deep sleep, anesthetic, coma). However, we all identify our person-hood with the contents of our consciousness (thoughts, memories, emotions) and through misappropriation we start thinking about our person-hood as if it were our life. What%26#039;s an unconscious life after all? Well the answer is that it%26#039;s still life, though probably not one we%26#039;d all be so eager to preserve.
Now, this bit is very interesting to me: the fact that in observable practice it%26#039;s obvious that life and consciousness are different things, apparently leads to further of the misappropriation, until the point is reached where people think of themselves as having %26quot;dual%26quot; lives, a physical and mental one. From this point, it is only a step to speculating about where the mental one is to be found, and what happens to it when the physical one dies.
Of course, no such life is ever observed, however, because it doesn%26#039;t exist. Consciousness is not life. It is a feature of a specific type of life, namely animal life. It leads, in human beings, to highly developed %26quot;identities%26quot;, which should never be confused with the life that bears them. As a feature of life that they are, they %26quot;expire%26quot; along with it.
Reply:It seems so. I%26#039;m not sure why it seems %26quot;crazy%26quot;, but it does. Presumably, this is how it has always been, yet, somehow it doesn%26#039;t feel %26quot;natural%26quot;, does it? You would think that after eons of evolution, we would be %26quot;hard-wired%26quot; to accept such a notion. On the other hand, some might suggest that experiencing discontent and incompleteness increases the chances for the continued survival of the species. Maybe recognizing and acknowledging the fact that we only have one life, and thus recognizing the importance of the choices we make in an otherwise meaningless blip of time which we call a life-span, helps us make better use of our time.

Like, if you say, %26quot;Oh, she%26#039;s a nice baby, isn%26#039;t she?%26quot;, its not the same as %26quot;Oh, she%26#039;s a nice baby, isn%26#039;t she?

Reply:Influence is an issue of locus of control. Despite how you might feel in the presence of a colour, it is you who creates the feelings and the actions. Attributing your actions and choices to something external also prevents you from maintaining control of your life

Reply:%26quot;Is color to be understood as an objective part of reality, a property of objects with a status similar to shape and size? Or is color more like pain, to be found only in experience and so somehow subjective? Or is color more like what some have said about time--that it seems real until we reflect enough, where we come ultimately to dismiss it as mere illusion?

Reply:They influence my life sometiems by being overwhelming and busy - I find nature colours easier to cope with than masses of light s adn advertising and signs. I cut out all colour information inmy home and it is psychologically a lot easier for me.
Although some peopel attribute universal values to colours it seems a very personal realtionship so I think we make our own meanings for each colour.
Do you think colours influence our life? How?
skin colours?? or like... red blue orange ?

lol a mental game of 23?
Reply:yes it influenxes ouir choices. like which toothbrush we buy which tshirt we like ect ect. also it alerts uys of things like stop sines and such
Reply:Bright colors can capture one%26#039;s attention. Why do you think all the advertisers use bright colors?
Reply:i think to an extent, yes.
for an example the only place that i had vivid, imaginative dreams is in my room and nowhere else, and my room is FILLED with bright colors like lime green and pink.
Reply:no, no i don%26#039;t.
Reply:Of course colors affect how we act, think, and feel. Especially our emotions. You may not realize it, but on a day when your feeling gloomy you may pick a dark shirt instead of a bright shirt.
Reply:Well, if there were no colors, I guess you couldn%26#039;t see anything, because everything would be the same, which would be the color of nothing-- does that make it invisible? And then so I guess that colors are pretty important. Plus, they make life beautiful. Like, if you say, %26quot;Oh, she%26#039;s a nice baby, isn%26#039;t she?%26quot;, its not the same as %26quot;Oh, she%26#039;s a nice baby, isn%26#039;t she? With her GOLDEN hair, SKY-BLUE eyes, ROSY CHEEKS and IVORY-WHITE TEETH.%26quot;
Reply:Yes, colour is so important. There%26#039;s a song called Gun Hill which is about that, it has this lyric which is %26quot;Finding the right Colours%26quot;, just seems to highlight how its something you can appreciate any moment of the day whatever you are doing, wherever you are. The song can be heard on www.myspace.com/darkdomainrock
Reply:Traffic light colors effect my driving. Colors on my computer monitor make it easier for me to see things. Colors allow us to recognize how ripe a fruit is. Colors influence every aspect of our lives.
Reply:Yeah totally, even what colour of clothes I choose to wear depends on how I%26#039;m feeling that day. eg if I%26#039;m feeling bold and impulsive i%26#039;d wear red..and calm and collected..light blue! for me, colours amplify human emotions and certain colours (such as yellow) can instantly make me feel happier!
Reply:Influence is an issue of locus of control. Despite how you might feel in the presence of a colour, it is you who creates the feelings and the actions. Attributing your actions and choices to something external also prevents you from maintaining control of your life
Reply:I%26#039;d answer if I weren%26#039;t feeling blue.
Reply:yes, they did
Reply:I think women are more aware of colors than men are. A woman will often choose a new car based on color. I know I look at other things in a car, and am not really aware of the color for the first couple of days (unless it was pink of course). Men do pay attention to the color of their clothes, most of the time. But women seem to put a greater emphasis on it. These are personal observations.
Reply:yes but I don%26#039;t know why.
Reply:it influences everything, our emotions are led by color, funny thing is that color doesn%26#039;t really exist
Reply:i think coulers mean every thing to our life because if we didant have coulers every thing would be dull and borning and little todlars couldent do things like coulouring in
Reply:Yes . It depends on your date of birth.Some colours will be good and some will be bad for you.Just think of most memorable days and the colour of dress you were wearing on that day.
Reply:No
Reply:yeaps. like you would be easily angered if you are in a red room instead of a blue room.. colours affect our lives.. that%26#039;s why they have colour therapy (or whatever they call it)..
Reply:%26quot;Is color to be understood as an objective part of reality, a property of objects with a status similar to shape and size? Or is color more like pain, to be found only in experience and so somehow subjective? Or is color more like what some have said about time--that it seems real until we reflect enough, where we come ultimately to dismiss it as mere illusion? If color is more like shape and size, can we give a scientific account of it?%26quot;

I am being sarcastic. I know what you mean. My question for you is %26quot;do you actually believe it?%26quot;. Because there is no logical reason to believe there is any real association between that date and Armageddon. I am pretty sick of peoples ignorant, fanatical, obsession with mysticism. If you honestly believe that anyone is capable of predicting the future then why dont you ask them for lotto numbers? Yes... its not a rumor... its a known fact. The world will end in 2012... its common knowledge. Every scientist knows it. Look... either be intelligent and look to science or dont. But if youre going to abandon reason, why dont you opt for the long-standing Catholic church instead of a 20th century myth?

And the fact that I am getting down thumbs for saying all this only proves my point. The only one you gave an up thumb to was the one that said %26quot;yes, definitely%26quot;... just agreeing with your superstition. If you dont want answers then dont ask questions. The fact that you downed everyone that said no only proves that you have chosen not to hear it.
Do you think 12-12-2012 will be the end?
It could be then, or it could be 8-8-2008 or 9-9-2009, etc. The Bible says that no man knows the date but God Almighty.

How would you organise your entire life into categories?
I find my life rather disorganised. I would like to know, if life were to be divided into categories (such as Body, Soul %26amp; Spirit or Mental, Social %26amp; Physical), what categories would you use to organise it?
How would you organise your entire life into categories?
You might consider clarifying your goals. Multiple and competing goals can leave anyone feeling disorganized in life.
Getting life in order though is also a judgment about the need for structure.

You are what you think, can you prove?
Can I prove what,,, that I am what I think I am or that my thoughts are influenced by what I am so that I am what I think about
You are what you think, can you prove?
im not what i think i am but someone else thinks i am
You are what you think, can you prove?
Considering that everything we do can be explained by the operations of our brains, and our brains produce thought, it is reasonable to assume that what constitutes %26#039;us%26#039; is our current brain activity, which will likely include our past experience as a determining factor.
Because this is a reasonable assumption to make, it does not require any further proof (from me at least), and so the burden of proof rests on anybody suggesting otherwise.
I hope this answers your question, but as Alan says it%26#039;s very vague.
Reply:You can observe a tree in front of the house. You can observe a car on the road, You are not the tree or car. You can observe your body. You are not the body. You can observe your mind. You are not the mind. But you can act as Driver or motivational force to think good and to act good. If we fail to bring this awareness then ot is difficult to controle our thoughts and actions.
Reply:Your question is vague and incomplete to the point of being sophomoric.
It is clear, however, that we are much more than just what we think we are. Out consciousness, for example, is a virtually seamless composite of our body schema (which is largely unconsciousness) and our body image (which a good part is conscious). Even the body image is composed of our sense of awareness and our sense of self, which are clearly two separate processes in our mind. Also the sense of self is on a continuum and is augmented by our experiences and social homogenization.
Exactly what you mean by %26quot;think%26quot; is also indistinct. Thinking is used to describe feelings, beliefs, attitudes, cognition, problem solving, caring, and many more functions. Do you mean all of them or just some of them, and if only some, which ones?
What is clear, however, is that I (my ego or self) is not the total sum of what I (the body image) does. This can be shown by studies in the philosophy of neuroscience and cognitive sciences.
Reply:Body, and the consciousness is %26quot;you%26quot;.
%26quot;Thinking%26quot; is mindful or unmindful reflections that mind consciousness engage and holds on to.
if Noble thoughts are encouraged at that moment you become a noble person as nobleness is the only thing that
is in existence.
if ignoble thoughts are encouraged at that moment you become a ignoble person as ignobleness is the only thing that is in existence.
But this does not mean that they remain the same. as everything is in a state of flux, and as conditions attribute to the being of a person, an ignoble can change into noble and a noble can change into ignoble.
so its a %26quot;yes%26quot;

Doing what we desire provides temporary satisfaction or happiness which often means that events are set in motion that we may not have anticipated. Of course, if you knew that things would have turned out the way that they did, then you wouldn%26#039;t have followed your heart. The problem is not knowing how the future will unfold and more specifically, how others will act, react and behave.
As well, when we do what we want, we assume that things will turn out as we wanted to them rather than accepting things as they are.

Based on this, I thought I could be a psychiatrist and continue studying philosophy. I don%26#039;t want to be merely a psychologist because I want to know more on how certain drugs affect the mind and how the body relates to that. However, I don%26#039;t know if I support all psychiatric practices such as ECT or certain drugs. I don%26#039;t know if they are harmful, yet I%26#039;m still really interested in finding out more and perhaps revolutionizing psychiatry into something better. Is this a good plan, or do you have any other suggestions based on my interests?
Need advice on career in philosophy/psychiatry?
lol, prof.

The only %26#039;job%26#039; that philosophy is good for is professor. Philosophy isn%26#039;t about %26#039;jobs%26#039; or the %26#039;real world%26#039; (as it%26#039;s called) its about important things.
Psychiatry could get you a job with the NHS or you could go private with proper training. If you don%26#039;t agree with some aspects, you can specialise in a way that won%26#039;t cause conflict.

Who has it worse in life? men or women?
what do you think?
Who has it worse in life? men or women?
Men...although it is no walk in the park for women either.
Who has it worse in life? men or women?
You have to be more specific about what you mean by worse for that to be a useful or meaningful question.
Reply:Men dont have to go around with babies and stuff inside them, thats pretty bad i reckon. we just have to do a poo not have a baby
Reply:I think women. There is so much pressure on us to look super slim and sexy ALL the time, and we are judged for not wearing the latest trends or whatever. I know there%26#039;s pressure on men too but I personally believe the pressure to look good is greater on women. We are expected to conform to the size zero models on the catwalk and for many of us (myself included) this could never be a reality. I drive a Mitsubishi pick-up truck (L200 Warrior) and people look at me like I must be this butch lesbian because of it. I feel like hanging a sign on the bumper saying %26quot;I use this to tow my horse trailer%26quot;! Though men don%26#039;t have it that easy either, that%26#039;s just my opinion.
Reply:I think that they are pretty equal. women have that monthly thing from hell and pregnancy while men have to endure the emotional beatings from women! however, if men find other men attractive and stay away from females, they could avoid this altogether.
Reply:Men?!! What!! I wish I were a man... You guys have it easy!! Women have it worse in life-- 9 months of carrying around a bowling ball in your stomach, 26 hours of painstaking labor, stomach left looking like a road map... THEN you have to care for this new addition to the world. And if you%26#039;re like most women in America, you have to raise the child on your own because most boys don%26#039;t seem to mature to MANhood!!
I don%26#039;t have children yet, but trust me.... I%26#039;m not looking forward to it. %26quot;Men%26quot; have it easy in America... especially if you are a white male. Life couldn%26#039;t be easier
Reply:in the normal day routine catagory, ill say woman because men are led by common sense and when we see stupidity we laff at it..whereas women are led by emotion and they suck up everything in there surroundings like a sponge as if all of it is affectual to them..talk about stress..lol
in child rearing definitely the women..i wouldnt wanna think about pushing anything out my *****
in careers id say men, because predominately ..not all but most men do manly jobs, construction,farming,and so on
in womens feilds they are predominately behind a desk with a/c and no constant screaming from the boss....
o i almost forgot...the skinny thing is on women too but thats all in there head...guys just dont have to care..unless theyre those nuetered males...girls have it stuck in there head that they have to be hot....not that that dont help but regardless they do that to themselves.....thats my 2 cents
Reply:A simple answer to this would be to find which are most happy.
Reply:easy...men
Reply:Feeling sorry for ourselves isn%26#039;t a solution to any problem that either gender may face in life.
Men have it worse, but they choose to keep things the way that they are.
Women have it worse, but they choose to keep things the way that they are.
Reply:It%26#039;s all a bad bargain. I feel women got the worst wrap.But frankly they are creating it to be even worse for themselves. Frankly better to take up the process of Self realization and realize that we are not this material body, IE; Race, color, nationality, Religion, gender, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We never die, only this mortal body dies. This material world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here, and the rest are enjoying blissful eternal loving relationships with our Maker named above. We fell here due to envying Gods position. He made the material world for those who want to try to live separately from Him (Which is impossible because He is actually everywhere). After many lifetimes of trying to be happy in this temporary world, one becomes frustrated and board and begins to question their existence. We then seek out real happiness, and when one becomes sincere God reveals how to come back Home. Those who are intelligent, take up the process of self realization (Bhakti Yoga), which begins with the chanting of the Maha Mantra, (the great mantra for deliverance from all suffering and illusion), which gives one real peace, happiness and reality. (see my profile for a link for all info on this mantra). Then at the end of life, they can give up all material attachments and fully surrender to God and return to the eternal Kingdom, where there is no more birth, death, old age, or disease and be eternally happy. For info. Go to harekrishnatemple.com Read Bhagavad Gita- As it is by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada you can read it on line.
I coose Reality, so next life I get my real spiritual body, not this lump of flesh. Peace and love.
Reply:Men,
Things that made me thought of these were the crime rates high, mostly were men,
most homeless too were men,
most dangerous jobs were for men,
toughest resposibilities in the society were mostly for men.
most layed out at work were men..and
most fall into temptations were men.
Because men have the toughest challenges here on earth!
Their masculinity (masculine energy itself) is as strong as the challenges that they have to face in life. Sometimes even more.
Reply:A lot depends on how you define what makes life good or bad. If it%26#039;s SALARY men are ahead women earn less, RESPECT of colleagues men still have the advantage amongst men, WORK the saying a man works from dawn to dusk but a woman%26#039;s work is never done is still relevant today although women now work in the home and out. There are exceptions in both genders. One more thing childbirth is worth it.
Reply:I think both men and women has equal pains in life but I think women endure more. However, each has equal rewards and happiness. Women suffer with periods, menopause, pregnancy/childbirth, career, domestic duties, keeping yourself attractive and stay in fashion, and sex without being in the mood. However, women have many great things in life, i.e. love for their children that cannot compare to men, active and close relationships with friends which you can talk out the most personal matters (it relieves stress and sometimes get good advice and empathy), etc. Mother and daughters usually end up as best friends when they are older. Why do you think women receive a lot more phone calls and cards on mother%26#039;s day than on father%26#039;s day. When men pilots is about to have a plane crash, most say %26quot;I love you mom%26quot;. Steve Martin once said, %26quot;America is Mom, Apple Pie and Toyotas%26quot;. Women is surrounded by love from family, relatives and friends. When I eat my mother%26#039;s cooking, it is delicious because it contains love as an ingredient no chef can add. Receiving and giving love is the most enriching experience for women in their lives.
For men, he is expected to be the bread winner and usually experience great stress in keeping and upgrading their career path. Times are very tough and stressful if he loses his job and desperately find a new one. By tradition men are taught not to cry and talk about their problems. Many men will hold in the painful emotion and it can manifest itself in anger even verbal and physical abuse. They are hesitant to talk with men friends about their personal problems. Some men must join the military and in front lines risking their lives. And men always have the %26quot;honey do list%26quot; to do.
Men generally do less in a relationship. Their escape is watching sports on TV, going out with the guys, play sports like golf or tennis.
My motto is %26quot;give generously and you shall receive more than you gave, give little you get back less than you gave%26quot;.
Reply:Women! We have been prejudiced against since the beginning of time. Women have always been referred to as the lesser sex. We live in a masculine society. Furthermore, women are expected to be perfect. Slim, beautiful, etc. and if we%26#039;re not, we%26#039;re considered even more inferior. If a man is assertive or even belligerent, he is just considered opinionated. However, if a woman displays the same characteristics, she is a b#%26amp;ch. And, all of this is on top of what we have for a week each month.
I do find it interesting though that everyone seems to think that their sex is the most put upon.
Reply:I%26#039;d say women.
Women, to be accepted by society, are supposed to be skinny, sexy whores, while men are allowed to be fat slobs who leech off their wives (no offense men, my father was like this) For example, Family Guy.
Women have periods that hurt like a guy getting kicked in the balls for a whole week 24/7, our first sex hurts like a moT.her. fu.ckrrr. and pregnancy is hell.
We have to slather makeup over ourselves every morning and do our hair to be %26quot;beautiful%26quot;.

Philosophy question: Nietzsche?
How did Nietzsche view women? I%26#039;m undecided on this question because sometimes he%26#039;s flattering and other times he is not. What do you think?
Philosophy question: Nietzsche?
Consider the time and place where he came from and the general attitude about women. Flattery, in my view, is not having a good opinion of someone.
We do, as he did, live is social times where there is some sense of the dominant viewpoints on certain issues by people.
The bulk of philosophy, psychology, medicine, science, etc. had a decided slant at the time and in certain locations in the world.
Philosophy question: Nietzsche?
Having read most of Nietzsche%26#039;s works, I have concluded that his views were mostly negative.
I find this a major weakness of Nietzsche because although he was able to transcend almost all other prejudices of his time, he was still unable to overcome chauvinism.
Reply:Here%26#039;s a brief bio of the woman he was in love with:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Andreas...
He wrote %26quot;Thus Spake Zarathustra%26quot; while reeling under her influence.
Reply:I believe he didn%26#039;t have a positive view of women, but I think this might be due to his lack of success with women.
Reply:Nietzsche had a low opinion of women. He believed woman are naturally weaker than men, they have an instinct for a secondary role, represent the slave morality because they have a tendency for religion, are concerned mostly with self-preservation and are petty.
While at times he seems to be complimentary, these instances must be taken in context. They are not truly compliments as much as they are a admission of some type of worth or relevance in women, an admission that women do indeed have a role to play in the natural order.
%26quot;From the beginning, nothing has been more alien, repugnant, and hostile to woman than truth -- her great art is the lie, her highest concern is mere appearance of beauty. Let us men confess it: we honor and love precisely this art and this instinct in women -- we who have a hard time and for our relief like to associate with beings under whose hands, eyes, and tender follies our seriousness, our gravity and profundity almost appear to us like folly. ...%26quot;
Reply:Nietzsche had a lot opinion of women, but he also had a low opinion of men, animals, God, politics, and society in general. He was a nihilist, so take everything negative he says about women with a grain of salt.
Reply:Nietzsche%26#039;s writing on women is consistent with his STYLE OF WRITING. If a reader approaches the text in want of opinions, a writer the caliber of Nietzsche permits no insight beyond this, for Nietzsche is without a doubt also one of the best READERS of the most authoritative books.
Now, what are the most important, authoritative books, and how are the topics arranged in those works? Compare this, then, to what the majority now choose to read: newspaper, periodical, and digest. Nietzsche%26#039;s talent extends well beyond the blinking reader. A careful reader of important texts learns, as if merely through exposure to these texts, to look for %26quot;what is left unsaid%26quot;. This lasting look perceives what blinking intends to overlook.
When Nietzsche writes of women there is tacit pointing to the other elements in his thought and composition. This is, of course, further informed by his intimacy with music. A female reader who is capable of a reckoning with Nietzsche cannot possibly be the beneficiary of general accomodation. Instead, Nietzsche is selective, strict, and upholds those traditional conditions we associate with eros. Either one is elevated or ruined. Such is life...In the famous photograph taken at Lucerne, it is Nietzsche who put the whip in Lou Salome%26#039;s hand. IF you want to feel, love, live fully, dangerously, Life will make you pay the toll.

The bulk of philosophy, psychology, medicine, science, etc. had a decided slant at the time and in certain locations in the world.
Philosophy question: Nietzsche?
Having read most of Nietzsche%26#039;s works, I have concluded that his views were mostly negative.
I find this a major weakness of Nietzsche because although he was able to transcend almost all other prejudices of his time, he was still unable to overcome chauvinism.
Reply:Here%26#039;s a brief bio of the woman he was in love with:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Andreas...
He wrote %26quot;Thus Spake Zarathustra%26quot; while reeling under her influence.
Reply:I believe he didn%26#039;t have a positive view of women, but I think this might be due to his lack of success with women.
Reply:Nietzsche had a low opinion of women. He believed woman are naturally weaker than men, they have an instinct for a secondary role, represent the slave morality because they have a tendency for religion, are concerned mostly with self-preservation and are petty.
While at times he seems to be complimentary, these instances must be taken in context. They are not truly compliments as much as they are a admission of some type of worth or relevance in women, an admission that women do indeed have a role to play in the natural order.
%26quot;From the beginning, nothing has been more alien, repugnant, and hostile to woman than truth -- her great art is the lie, her highest concern is mere appearance of beauty. Let us men confess it: we honor and love precisely this art and this instinct in women -- we who have a hard time and for our relief like to associate with beings under whose hands, eyes, and tender follies our seriousness, our gravity and profundity almost appear to us like folly. ...%26quot;
Reply:Nietzsche had a lot opinion of women, but he also had a low opinion of men, animals, God, politics, and society in general. He was a nihilist, so take everything negative he says about women with a grain of salt.
Reply:Nietzsche%26#039;s writing on women is consistent with his STYLE OF WRITING. If a reader approaches the text in want of opinions, a writer the caliber of Nietzsche permits no insight beyond this, for Nietzsche is without a doubt also one of the best READERS of the most authoritative books.
Now, what are the most important, authoritative books, and how are the topics arranged in those works? Compare this, then, to what the majority now choose to read: newspaper, periodical, and digest. Nietzsche%26#039;s talent extends well beyond the blinking reader. A careful reader of important texts learns, as if merely through exposure to these texts, to look for %26quot;what is left unsaid%26quot;. This lasting look perceives what blinking intends to overlook.
When Nietzsche writes of women there is tacit pointing to the other elements in his thought and composition. This is, of course, further informed by his intimacy with music. A female reader who is capable of a reckoning with Nietzsche cannot possibly be the beneficiary of general accomodation. Instead, Nietzsche is selective, strict, and upholds those traditional conditions we associate with eros. Either one is elevated or ruined. Such is life...In the famous photograph taken at Lucerne, it is Nietzsche who put the whip in Lou Salome%26#039;s hand. IF you want to feel, love, live fully, dangerously, Life will make you pay the toll.

Reply:No not in blind faith! But in faith/confidence that arise with wisdom and clear comprehension.
If it is Fate you are asking:

Reply:You use faith in your daily life every single day. How?
Well, when you go to bed at night you have faith that you are going to get up the next morning. Then when you turn on the shower, you have faith that the water is going to come out and will be at the temperature you set it on. Then when you get in the car, you have faith that it is going to start and faith that it is going to get you to where you need to go. Then when you get to work, you have faith that your job will still be there, faith that the chair you sit on is going to hold you up, etc., etc., etc.
You even had faith that people would read and answer your question. So, yes I do believe in faith.
Of course, I also believe in and have faith in God. Do I think things necessarily happen for a reason. I don%26#039;t know, but I have enough faith in God not to question his wisdom. We only see things from this side, but he knows the end from the beginning so I choose to rely on him knowing what%26#039;s best for me in the LONG run.

Is logic universal or subjective?
subjective...
there is no definite other than Man%26#039;s interpretation of it...
Is logic universal or subjective?
Logic is meaningless unless applied to a subject.
But I would consider the principal of logic to be universal.
The universe is fire %26amp; logic.
Is logic universal or subjective?
Your question is very vague, and my answer must then be as well.
Logic is a human invention into greater objectivity of cause and effect. In general, if we have a concept %26#039;c%26#039; that we speak about, the way another individual can understand %26#039;c%26#039; is by us describing the objective qualities and letting the individual interpret these qualities. Thus, logic forms the objective interpretation of our thoughts and allows for easy communication, BETWEEN HUMANS.
However, if you mean %26#039;universal%26#039; between humans, I may agree. However, there is subjectivity to logic, because it was invented from a human point of view. If we took, for instance, an animal such as a bat that could speak english, the bat may not be able to understand because of the subjective nature of the argument i.e. because logic was built for the human brain construct to interpret and understand, and not any other.
Reply:Logic is as objective as math. Man thinks and speaks in syllogisms, or in parts of them. When you answer a question, your answer is the conclusion of a syllogism--or many syllogisms- that your mind had to go through to get the answer, which is called a %26quot;conclusion.%26quot;
There are 256 forms of syllogisms. Aristotle formulated them, and no one has come along to dispute that number. He formulated the means by which they work--in any language. He formulated the mere 15 of the 256 which are %26quot;valid.%26quot;
If it can be stated there are 256 forms, and only 15 are valid, that is pretty objective.

Reply:IT depends on what you mean by the term %26#039;logic%26#039; most laypersons just mean, by the word %26#039;logic%26#039; that it is a way of comming to conclusions.
However, %26#039;Logic%26#039; properly understood is a formal method of inference. The %26#039;logic%26#039; we use, especially in semantics, linguistics, philosophy, and mathematics, is a formal method that mathematicians use to establish conclusions in their proofs.
Here is a very simple and commone Proof that employs the inference rule Modus Ponendo Ponens:

Therefore,
C. Q.
The premises (1) and (2), by virtue of their logical form, necessarily entail (C). That is, if the premises (1) and (2) are both true, then it is completely impossible for the conclusion (C) to be false.

Logic is only %26#039;subjective%26#039; in the sense that it literally %26#039;happens%26#039; or takes-place in the mind of a being capable of understanding reasoned inference.
Logic is %26#039;objective%26#039; in the sense that anything capable of understanding reasoned inference, if confronted with a logically valid and sound argument - for the sake of %26#039;rationality%26#039; they must except the conclusion (again, if all the premises are true in the deductively-valid argument being put forth, then the conclusion must follow of necessity).
Logic is, probably, the most %26#039;objective%26#039; piece of understanding in terms of %26#039;universality%26#039; that we humans have. IF logic were not this, it would not even make sense to reject anything on any basis, for it is %26#039;logic%26#039; that even allows such a process to be coherent.

Again, I cannot stress the idea that if one believes %26#039;logic%26#039; to be %26#039;subjective%26#039; in the sense that %26#039;it is not true independent of peoples feelings%26#039;, then they must reject all of mathematics as a mere %26#039;subjective%26#039; affair, for mathematics is formally built upon formal- logic and set-theory (which is an extension of formal-logic), and mathematics seems to be the best description of the world, or the universe for the matter, that we humans have. So, if formal-logic turns out to be subjective, in the aforementioned sense, then mathematics will also turn out to be subjective in that very sense as well. And, if all of that happens, then the world is basically either imcomprehensible in it%26#039;s entirity, or else %26quot;what - we -think -we -know -about - the - world%26quot; is very, very wrong, even simple trival facts like, %26#039;I am a man,%26#039; or %26#039;I exist,%26#039; or %26#039;I am not both dead and alive right now%26#039; would be completely unfounded.
So, I must say that logic - as it has been understood for the past 3,000 years, is the precursor to all-other sciences and forms-of-understanding.
I once read that %26#039;logic%26#039; is considered the %26#039;first-science%26#039; from which everything else is built up from.
(Hope this helped) and please see the sources for help, especiall the %26#039;google books%26#039; one.

Reply:Logic is very subjective. Your logic is formed by your life experiences. If you were raised a cult, you would not object to getting married at a young age to a sixty-year-old man as you would think that it was the norm. However if you were a child who had grown up in suburban Pennsylvania, you would object to getting married to a man five times your age because your life experiences tell you that it is wrong.

And, if all of that happens, then the world is basically either imcomprehensible in it%26#039;s entirity, or else %26quot;what - we -think -we -know -about - the - world%26quot; is very, very wrong, even simple trival facts like, %26#039;I am a man,%26#039; or %26#039;I exist,%26#039; or %26#039;I am not both dead and alive right now%26#039; would be completely unfounded.
So, I must say that logic - as it has been understood for the past 3,000 years, is the precursor to all-other sciences and forms-of-understanding.
I once read that %26#039;logic%26#039; is considered the %26#039;first-science%26#039; from which everything else is built up from.
(Hope this helped) and please see the sources for help, especiall the %26#039;google books%26#039; one.
Thanks!
Reply:Logic is very subjective. Your logic is formed by your life experiences. If you were raised a cult, you would not object to getting married at a young age to a sixty-year-old man as you would think that it was the norm. However if you were a child who had grown up in suburban Pennsylvania, you would object to getting married to a man five times your age because your life experiences tell you that it is wrong.
