    I don't know, but could it be that if you were completely honest with those women you want to talk to, the main reason is cause you want to have sex with them? (Not that that's a bad thing, but it makes for quite an akward conversation "Hi, I'd really like to bone you, up for a coffee?". But ofc, since you probably won't be so direct, the only other option I can think of is some sort of not-really-honest small talk or whatnot, which might be among the reasons why it causes so much anxiety)Of course this might have nothing to do with your actual situation at all, it's just what I remember being at least a part of my anxiety of trying to talk to attractive women (or well, women I found hot).

    I don't even see how the question makes sense. It's like asking in the middle ages, "if the black plague was suddenly gone, but nothing else changed..." I mean by defininition it's such a huge intrusion into everything, so saying "if nothing else changed" doesn't make much sense to me. Can you elaborate a bit on that?

    I don't see how this has to do with shades of grey. From what I got your argument was that imposition can lead to order and stability of some sort and I don't see how this is true in any way. Also I think once you accept that violent imposition can lead to order and stability you're gonna have a much more difficult time arguing for freedom, cause then people can just say, "well we know vioence can lead to order, so why should I want to take my chances" or something along those lines.Btw I like concise, just be sure that the content doesn't get lost, as that can be quite frustrating in a converastion (which is already a bit more difficult to have on a forum anyway).

    Well, given that you got it when responding with ashort one-liner that didn't even adress the question, is it really that hard to figure out? (Also ironic to the degree that you don't like a lack of a meaningful feedback, but this is what got you the negative rep)Hope that helps

    If all that exists must have been created, then god must've been created too (and so must the god that created him and so on and so on...).
  6. TheRobin
    Maybe I misunderstand you here, but are you saying that imposition of order lead to a stable and prosperous society? If so, when and where did that happen exactly?
  7. TheRobin
    for your point 1): What must be true, so that you can say you "understand" something? I think it's one of those words where people usually have a vague intuitive grasp, so usually clarity in these kinds of questions comes, when the definition becomes more clear and less vague.

    Well by defintion you can't ever confirm or deny the truth value of a mystical experience, no matter how profound it may have been, which autmotatically makes it completeley irrelevant for any objective truth claims or models about reality. I personally think the most productive way to approach such an experience is tying it to self-knowledge and your subconcious and see if it doesn't tie to something in your past that's still buried and wants to come out one way or another. Mysticism as a whole is about disconnecting people from reality with emade up alternatives that can never be proofen anyway, so that pretty much screams "unresolved trauma" in my opinion. Why do you as though? Did you have such an exprience?

    well, unlike gold you can break down a bitcoin in as many fragments as you like without it losing its utility

    In a free society, where would you get the funding from to create all these horrors to begin with?
  12. TheRobin
    An idea might be to just have some subforum/page on your website that links to some basic logical and reasoning tutorials. Maybe organize it, so that complete beginners who are interested in growing a brain can easily work through some pages/exercises or whatnot. You didn't say whether you pay some fee to keep the site running though. So I personally probably wouldn't pay just to enable other people's crazy. But if it wouldn't cost me anythign, I might not bother putting the site down either and maybe add some logic pages for the more rationally inclined (or for those who actually seek truth as opposed to "their truth").
  13. TheRobin
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way you define Capitalism, it basically means, that people get stuff, so that they can get more stuff with that stuff. And since all the stuff is finite at some point there will necessarily be shortages and people will have to fight over stuff, therefore getting stuff just to constantly get more stuff will lead to violence and is therefore bad. Is that a good summary of your argument?

    Second that Primordia, certainly one of the best games I ever played. (Also delightfully anti socialistic/centrally plan-y) (Oh and also, it's not and rpg it's a point-and-click-adventure). Buuuut then again, not sure if it would make for a good narrative/analysis game in a way, I mean idk, you can problably make a good review of the whole story and get something of it, but commentating WHILE playing, not sure that works that well. (Not sure that works well with any game tbh, as a big part of any game is still, well, just playing while the story get's sprinkled in between)
  15. TheRobin
    Well, to be fair, both you and kalmia are making positive claims too here (i.e. that nothing good can come of it and that people are better off not calling to police), but okay. The police are trained in breaking up volence, and if they witness it directly, they can fine or confine the violent person for a while. This isn't a solution to stop all future violence ofc, but it really sets a clear sign for the child at least (and once there's the fear of negative consequences, maybe the parent will stop hitting as well, if only due to not wanting to pay another fine)
  16. TheRobin
    I like the constructive ideas. To bring some critic to the acutal meme you posted, I think the baseballbat looks rather weird though. But I also want to add that using phrases like "wishful thinking" and "hanging on to the myth of a saviour" are certainly not productive (or even accurate). Especially if you don't even bring any evidence to the table in regards to what the statstics are for how cops handle such cases (which would certainly be appreciated, nothing wrong with shwoing how a perceived solutions doesn't work, but you actually have to show it instead of just dishing out ad hominems).

    Given that both of you just quit a relationship, do you think it might be beneficial for both of you to first figure out what went wrong there and what attracted you to such people, before starting a new relationship?
  18. TheRobin
    I think you've just answered your own question here, though, no?
  19. TheRobin
    well if they truly beliefed that everything is subjective, then they couldn't argue against anything anyone says (inlcuding your claim that it isn't subjective), as that would make as much sense as arguing your taste in music is incorrect. (ofc subjectivist almost never accept that and in my experience just chant down the mantra of "you can't know for sure" and "everything is subjective" without much thought going on in between their heads, but again, just my personal experience with such people)

    oh and my skype is robin.balsiger btw
  21. TheRobin
    Allright, so how does Tuesday at around 19:00 (UTC+1) sound?
  22. TheRobin
    So if I stab someone, I'm responsible for moving my arm, but not for the wound that subsequently opened as an effect of me moving my arm? (and since, arm-moving does't violate the NAP...)
  23. TheRobin
    so the EFFECT of my action of posting here is, that this post now appears, right? Again, what would that possibly have got to do with others now being able to ask me for some sort of compensation (and for what?)?
  24. TheRobin
    so responsibility means, others owe you stuff? I'm currently responsible for posting this message. Who do I owe compensation for that then?
  25. TheRobin
    Just cause someon is responsible for their actions doesn't mean they're responsible to compensate others for their loss as a result of those actions.
