So is she the one who keeps playing guitar during class and never shuts up? If so, welcome!
No. Definitely not. I'd see her dead before I allowed her before.

So did you pick you name yourself or did Cognition do it to have a connection?
Probably easier to call me Meta lest it get confusing >.>
But yeah, we're trying to get my best mate (her boyfriend) to also join.
Do you have a username lined up for them too?
Meta Analysis hopefully.

But we have two Metas now!
I don't know why that didn't register. We might have three Metas soon >.>

Why would you show this forum to anyone you really know? It's like you want to commit social suicide.
She just saw me using it on a college computer. I don't think her opinion of me could get any lower, regardless.

I CALL DIBS ON MARRYING HER
No. Screw off Kinder. I've already warned her about you.

I'm intrigued as to know what kind of people actually hang around you IRL.
Very deluded individuals.

Meta Knowledge is a mate from college. She's also a girl, so feel free to ask for tit pics.

Don't be an idiot.
Money is as valuable as the goods and services you exchange it for. Nothing is "intrinsically" valuable.

Sort of, but more scientific. Double slit experiments and other electron pathing experiments like it.
That'd be closer to idealism than dualism, I'd imagine. Nonetheless, isn't the double-slit experiment effected by observation because the act of observation introduces disruptive energy to the process?

Maybe it could have helped to leave another note that not all religious people are radicals? I'm more inclined to say that your teacher doesn't know what she's doing, but if you have to write another paper for her/him it might help.
I'll probably end up having to do that. It's just intensely frustrating when I'm called out for implying ISIS are Muslims because obviously ISIS, al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, the Iranian ayatollahs aren't "real Muslims", when it's so inexorably linked to the subject. I'm sure people say the same about Antibalaka, right? Fuck my teacher, I'm going to a politics lesson.

I've seen no credible evidence to suggest Hitler was atheist, if we're only going by his own words it's likely he was Catholic.
I'd try and find some but the computers in my college have pretty much any information relating to Hitler blocked on the grounds of "intolerant material".
12343
« on: October 07, 2014, 07:09:24 AM »
You don't actually believe they were atheists, correct? Hitler said he did what he did as work for God.
Hitler probably was an atheist. German society in the 1930s, however, was inseparable from Christianity. Nonetheless, they didn't do any of it because they were atheists.

I don't.
Anybody who does is either delusional or an idiot by dint of being a dualist.
Well there is one semi-legit reason for people to think that.
What, dualism?

Maybe you could try putting more emphasis away from Islamic fundamentalism? That's precisely why I mentioned the WBC in the same sentence. I certainly could have mentioned the Christian violence in the Central African Republic, or the Lord's Resistance Army or even the Buddhists in Myanmar massacring and committing pogroms against Muslims. However, the teacher explicitly stated that we need to watch the news unfold regarding ISIS and their exploits in Syria. Not to mention, the entire course is about the tension between secular and religious authority, I couldn't steer clear of Islamic influences on secular society in practice let alone on principle.

Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and Pol Pot were all atheists and killed millions of people. I'm inclined to think there doesn't exist a single, murderous dictator that isn't atheist.
I don't respect you nearly enough to act as if you're serious. Also, just as a digression, Father Tiso and Francisco Franco.

Are al-Qaeda and ISIS trigger words in britbongistan?
Yeah. I mean, I don't want to end up like a Danish cartoonist, but apparently it isn't kosher to imply that such radical groups are, in any way, meaningfully Islamic.

Personally, no because if you look at China and other atheist countries, they're miserable and only really care about money and power.

My philosophy teacher recently gave me back an essay I'd done last week, it was fairly good considering it was the first of the year. However, there is an incredibly disturbing comment she's left next to one of the passages. This is what I wrote, practically verbatim: It seems that small bastions of extreme fundamentalism remain loyal to a literal reading [of scripture], for example the evangelical protestants of the Westboro Baptist Church or the Wahhabi Muslims of extreme Sunni groups like al-Qaeda or ISIS. She circled the names al-Qaeda and ISIS and wrote "Be careful" next to it. I asked her what she meant, and she said I need to be mindful of what I say, because I never know who could be marking my work. Seriously, frack this shit.

Depressions are more prolonged and severe. Unemployment is usually abnormally higher, credit exceptionally tight and unprecedented financial crises.
The Eurozone has probably been teetering on the depressionary line since '08.

Sociopaths are born of environment. They are more anxious, fearful, impulsive and usually live on the fringes of society, unable to hold down a stable life. They can, however, form attachments to ideologies and groups - much like malignant narcissists. A lot of the really committed people in the likes of ISIS are probably sociopathic.
Psychopaths are a result of genes. They're usually less anxious or fearful, varying in impulsivity, sadistic and less empathetic.

Morality without religion.

Yes.
Science can tell us morality.

Anything that relates to human behaviour.
So psychology, economics, politics, religion, morality.

I read your post, but it was a response to the title. also, DID has been on my mind kinda too.
Just to be absolutely, 100% clear I'm not denying that mental illnesses and disorders exist. I'm saying the categorisation of them as "mental" disorders as opposed to a physical aberration is an error.
