RE: If money cannot buy happiness, can you ever be truly happy without money?
In (IV), I was simply noting that we live in a society where money is earned, for the most part at least. That is why we have work and jobs. In order to attain money, we must commit a portion of our time,

RE: First DTube Philosophy video!
+1 for the logic! I would've used simpler examples for the affirmation of the consequent fallacy, but they were funny so I'll give it a pass. Knowing me, you know I'll look forward to more logic videos.

RE: If money cannot buy happiness, can you ever be truly happy without money?
I am one that believes money can or at least helps attain happiness. Many of the reasons you listed are valid for how it can help, ie. lessens stress. I do have some scattered thoughts that I would like

RE: The significance of mathematics - and why it can prove its own incompleteness
This is a great post. I never thought I'd run into anyone discussing Gödel on Steemit, but here it is. Gödel is actually one of the core reasons that sparked my interest in logic. I should be thanking

RE: Being Unbiased - objectivity, facts and post-truth
I do realize that logic is based on a worldview, namely empiricism. The other day, I ran into some guy telling me to prove reality and argued against the existence of the world. So yeah, there are some

RE: Being Unbiased - objectivity, facts and post-truth
I agree with what you say about objectivity and opinions. There is a slight bump I'm not understanding though, namely this thought: There is no such a thing as an idea that exists outside of being already

RE: Justice and revenge are two different things
I think this is a great question. It shakes smyle's entire idea and is a very real example. It very much relates to the ideas of justice and revenge. I wish I could summate a good answer for this question.

RE: The lost art of making a sound argument (and how we can do better)
Very interesting post. I agree wholeheartedly that the art of argument has been diluted. I actually just made a post about logic with validity and soundness, which was quite in line with what you wrote

RE: Why Math Might Be Complete Bullsh*t
As a logician, this hurt me on a personal level. As a philosopher, I suppose it is good to see skeptics. As this closely ties to my field, I will not hesitate to chime in. First, let's look at the semantics.

Epicurus was an interesting man. Closely related to this post is his Tetrapharmakos, or four-part cure on living a happy life. Outlined by four parts: Don't fear god Don't worry about death What is good

Cool, I'll start. I love me some paradoxes because they're so mind-boggling and puzzling. Let's go with the Liar Paradox, which goes something like this: Suppose there is a person that only lies. If that

RE: Ethical dilemmas and what to do about them
My ethical dilemma is whether or not I should study in ethics. I see ethics as the evil twin to rationality and logic, which really hurts me personally. Ever since the idea of ethos, pathos, and logos

Interesting idea. I don't think it is a new argument as I would argue it heavily resembles the Cosmological Argument. In turn, I do not think you have answered the concerns of the critics. Let us first
