Re: Logic: Physical or Metaphysical?

Hmm, I'm not a very deep thinker or logical person, though of course like everyone I employ logic frequently. (even if its flawed) Not that I can really explain why, but it seems to me that logic, like math exist whether or not humans exist, sort of a fundamental law of the physical universe we live...

Re: New Book: Winning the Unwinnable War

Exactly, back in those days it was Nazi or Commie Totalitarians, nowadays it's Islamic Totalitarians. So, why do say you don't know who is the enemy? You are basically accepting the self-sacrifial premise, that after one country develops a mud pile that shoves bombs at you and kills you, it's someh...

Re: TTI Philosophical Demographics

I'd have to agree, most of our members are capitalistic, while not always necessarily being strict Objectivists.

I'd classify almost everyone as strong individualists who place a high value on self sufficiency.

Re: The Situation in Pakistan

While I agree that Islam seems to have a greater proportion of radicals pent on killing others, many faiths have extremists in their midst yet I don't think its quite fair to paint all believers with the same brush.

Re: Proof That God Cannot Exist

And I certainly can't agree with that definition of man as humans appear to be anything but rational at times.

Perhaps that needs to be amended to read "potentially rational animal?
But certainly a much better definition than what you could ascribe to "God"
