@owenbroadcast I think they resemble but not entirely the same. Perfectly understandable a problem means knowing possible cause to that problem. You now have a guess at solutions to try out. Otherwise by definition, knowing the solution of a problem automatically makes it a non-problem

@AuthorGFAllen No, it could help when one actively pursues the goal of writing, but it's never independently a route to becoming a good writer. Better writing needs active and intentional practicing, i guess.

[Survey Stiles @Surveystiles]

Taking actions from an inconclusive thought, I believe, is part of weighing the usefulness of that thought. You'll never know how good the idea is until it's tried out. So you who act without unending hesitation, you are also thinking.

@Gadefilms @kenahlstrom @wylfcen But doesn't this measurement depend on the scale of the crime they commit that they aren't caught, does it include taking money from your grandma's purse?

@XLouisSarkozyX @kenahlstrom @wylfcen Thanks

I don't want irrigation canals.
I don't want granaries.
I don't want written laws.

I want the herd to return this season.
I want shelter that won't collapse in the rain.
I want enough meat to last the winter.

I don't want a printing press.
I don't want clocks in every town.
I don't want ships crossing the Atlantic.

I want a good harvest.
I want my teeth to stay.
I want the plague to stop.

@kenahlstrom @wylfcen If they were never caught, how would you know they existed?

@LimYenKheng Please explain

[Survey Stiles @Surveystiles]

@TheProjectUnity What does this matter, we could as well have been seeing with our ears via sound, you can't use the fact that we don't see in other spectrums to judge the scale of what's observable and relevant in the universe.

[Survey Stiles @Surveystiles]

I'm going to start my intellectual journey from now. Hoping I come improved.

[Survey Stiles @Surveystiles]

@2Philosophical_ I suspected something was off about your philosophical takes. Now I know for sure.

[Survey Stiles @Surveystiles]

@DrCarlMortner @cutupcado @2Philosophical_ They don't act in a manner that reflects such a belief—do not behave as though they genuinely hold it. Moreover, the point is that if babies were left entirely on their own, they would not conceive the idea of a god without the usual indoctrination.

[Survey Stiles @Surveystiles]

@cutupcado @2Philosophical_ It depends on your definition of atheism, mine is broad : "any person who lacks belief in gods". A baby matches this definition and therefore is an atheist.

[Survey Stiles @Surveystiles]

That's why I believe questions such as whether there is a God should be left to the field of science to address—if, that is, we care about the actual truth and not mere rhetoric.

[Survey Stiles @Surveystiles]

I think philosophers should play a smaller role in answering scientific questions. Philosophy involves the outdated practice of reasoning out truths, which has historically proven to be inaccurate and unreliable.

[Survey Stiles @Surveystiles]

Take for instance, outdated ideas such as geocentrism, the flat Earth theory, and vitalism—all of which, by mere intuition, once seemed reasonable and convincing. Through scientific inquiry, we discovered these ideas to be unrealistic.

[Survey Stiles @Surveystiles]

@HetkeBrian @2Philosophical_ 'Feels like there's more behind it' sure, that's a valid scientific hypothesis. But unless you test it, it’s just philosophical musing without any solid footing.
