That is amazing! Congratulations. I'd like to see a garden with a couple hundreds of them.

Would you mind if I bundled together two comments? First one, why use a word like 'soul'? It carries a specific (although not entirely defined) supernatural meaning. When talking about soul, either one

I'm appalled by the ignorance, hate and sheer stupidity demonstrated by these folks - supremacists, racialists, or whatever they like to call themselves. But I'm very, very happy to see speech being able

Thanks for the article - I really enjoyed reading it. I have one problem with it though. You said one can't look beyond the voting statistics and tell from the absence of voting that people don't want

Great post! It seems few people who take themselves serious dare to say something nice about Pokémon. Babbling negative opinions and being cynical seem to be the easy way to deal with life, and then, when

Exodus 21:21 But if the slave recovers within a day or two (after a beating), then the owner shall not be punished, since the slave is his property.

It's hard to come up with historical examples of something very bad that resulted in something very good. It might even be an impossibility, but let me propose a different look. Instead of expecting something

Ah, yes, by turning the argument into a premise, you're effectively 'blackboxing' knowledge, so it doesn't get criticized. You're quite right. We could cite lots of examples where new ontological constructs

I was taking my breath to respond, but you did it before me. I wouldn't be so belligerent, but if you already posted the impolite version, I'll support it.

Even though I enjoy good rhetoric and watching debates, one must be aware it is more of a game or sport than actually about uncovering truth.

I completely agree that science is our best shot for reaching beyond the limitations of our brains. Absolutely. By I'll contend we have another tool of 'transcendence', so to speak. Because our conscience

Yes, the first point is a rather silly thing, but all the endeavor of using reason to deduce god is silly at best. If god actually acts within time, he's by definition in time as a cause. His own perception

Wow! I don't agree to all that you've written but I enjoyed reading every single letter. For example, while I have (so far) come to the conclusion that voting isn't immoral, I wouldn't contend it's a stupid

I stand corrected on the use of the word utilitarian. As for the word compatibilist (which I actually use in other context), I think the label isn't all that useful. There could be many ways to reconcile

It's not the first quote... but ok, I'm probably seeing too much. I'd like to register the opinion that's too easy to say Germans should not have paid taxes because the money would be used for terrible

Great article as usual steemswede. But may I ask you something a little off topic? Why do you quote Larken Rose so much? It's not like he's the original source of these thoughts. Why not quote Mises, Hayek,

Would you mind if I asked what is the origin of your belief? Do you think scientific knowledge points to this, or is there a prophet or sacred text, or have you been in contact with beings that told you

Yes, I see. You're absolutely right. Transitions like this aren't easy in the best of cases. It worries me that government, in trying to produce these jobs, will tinker with the economy and do more harm

Yeah, I wasn't very clear. Let me try again. Some centuries ago, 90% of the population worked in agriculture. Food was scarce and traded for things people would find essential. For example, a farmer might

Holy mother... according to the video below, that would be evidence for the nonexistence of god!
