Do you consider this a wrong or do you have a justification to make it good?Yeah, but this is true with Israelite slaves. They can be kept permanently as well.

Do you think knowledge equals happiness if so can you demonstrate it?
(Please be short and simple)
Do you think happiness can be attained doing something over and over again or does it require the person to vary things up in order to maintain happiness?
(Explain as well)
Thanks in advance.

It made the people who he covered more popular. It didn't actually cop bad content. It just made them more popular. Nice video. Bad consequences.

How does getting information from both sides and it being funded by private organization reduce "bullshit metrics"?There are studies that conclude that the bullshit metrics people use to determine reliability is false. Think tank studies from both sides of the aisle as well as studies funded by private organizations are both usually reliable.
Look at methodology, sample size and other studies that are looking for the same thing to see if the results line up.
I do that already.
Don't advise somebody to find "reliable" sources please as it is just a subconscious way you falling into cognitive bias and fallacies in reasoning
People already do that. Me saying reliable doesn't have more of an impact than what the person is accustomed too. If you have data that using the word reliable is the leading cause of people going back to their biases and fallacies, I would like to see it.
particularly confirmation bias (sources you agree with tend to be put in the reliable camp) and the genetic fallacy which really is just an offshoot of confirmation biased approaches to information gathering anyway.
Okay? I tend to use sources which are not opinion pieces and go directly to the source they are referencing. I don't use sources which don't even tell me where they had X number, quote since I can't verify if it is true or not.

Because that is an answer to not an afterlife. A similar thing which occurred before conception.Why are you mentioning it then, you are clearly wrong!

It is not a contradiction. I am not making opposing claims. I am comparing similar contexts in order to help you understand.But they are contradictions between before conception and after death

Your not alive before conception. You are not alive after death.Think before conception. Now think about it after death.

Where did I say there is life before conception?So that means you are wrong, you claimed that it's life before conception, but now you admit your wrong!

They've evolved with knowledge of more things... each reason has just been added to, not deleted...
I know that but would you consider your past self lesser than the person who you are now?
I suspect more than not the theme wouldn't change... but i can't know that for obvious reasons.
I'll stick to your other response since I don't think this is going to go anywhere.

Your brain when you die is inactive meaning you are actually dead. It doesn't matter if cells still operate or whatever that isn't you because what makes you in the past present and if you lived to see the recent future is your brain. Without that it isn't you.So are you sleeping forever while your body continues to work, do you lose consciousness, what goes on?

That is hate speech.Question about CoC policy: why is calling someone a “f*cking idiot who deserves to go to hell” a CoC violation but explicit racism not? It seems to me that the latter is more harmful.
Wylted was banned for being racist. I think Castin made the ban.

@bsh1
As long as the discussion is about ideas, not people, then it will pass moderation review. Now, if you're asking me my non-mod opinion, I would say that when real anger is introduced into the discussion, the debate is no longer really about the issues, and more about the people involved.
"Bsh1 is predictably corrupt and going to do whatever he wants based on blatant dislike vs like of the victim vs perpetrator of any given scenario."
I see this as a way to show his dislike for you more so actually talk about the ideas because if he was he would've shown evidence of these allegations he has presented.

So you weren't you in the past?I am the person observing/experiencing this reality in the present moment.
But from what i am starting to understand about this person is that black is its primary favorite color
If black wasn't your favorite color would it still be you?

Who were you would be a past tense.
If you read the topic question it was in present tense. What separates your present self with your past self?
And "a colon precedes an explanation". Yep, as presented.
Yes by explaining what was before the colon. As in Zedvictor: Someone who still refuses to answer a simple question.

@zedvictor4
You asked: Who are you?Well: I am me.Therefore: the you that you referred to is me.Therefore: "You" is who I am and also who they are.
I referred you in the past tense. Now are you still you after I referred to you in a question?
This isn't helpful for dialogue. Do you want me to criticize your use of colons because you certainly didn't use them correctly. Just this once I'll do a similar thing to you (not addressing what the person had in mind. If it wasn't clear what I wanted you could've asked).
Colon: The colon is a punctuation mark consisting of two equally sized dots centered on the same vertical line. A colon precedes an explanation or an enumeration, or list.
Since you did not use the colon to explain a word/phrase before the colon or used it to list something you used it wrong.

@ebuc
There exist no concrete busts etc of me Ebuc that I'm aware of.Anyone who reads through many of my emails can gain other insights to who Ebuc is. Ex whether or not I have siblings.I just did a search via my legal name and I personally did not appear ---and I' glad for that--- but 200 or more did appear in USA on one web site I went to. Wow!
So no concrete version. Welp.

I rather it be personal so that you are talking for yourself and I like the name.Can the question be restated as 'what is self?
What is self sounds like cliche philosophy. Mine I think is more of a spin on it.

Do you hear yourself?
I am asking for a clarification on the rules. I don't really care about irrational ego man who says he is great at everything. Banning you probably won't do anything for me. Maybe I'll laugh but it would be for the short term. I'll move on while you're banned if that happens that is.

Can you find the source?I guess I read a different source, but forgot what it was.
You do understand how it looks from my perspective?
It is like me saying you are going to win 1 million dollars.
You say where did you get that from.
I can't find it.
See the problem? I said something would happen without evidence so I could've said anything since I didn't really prove it.
