Positive Thinking: A New Secular Religion?
Stacey48 comments on May 10, 2018:
Are you talking about "the law of attraction"? I read a bit about it. I think it could easily go in that direction. Manifestation of our thoughts. I think our reality is based on how we perceive it, but I don't think we can make things happen just by thinking about them in the right way.

It does tumble easily and repeatedly into magical thinking.

Positive Thinking: A New Secular Religion?
birdingnut comments on May 10, 2018:
You are mistaken. The "placebo" affect alone proves that what we think affects us. People who have visual feedback can even regulate their heart beats, blood pressure, etc. We are ultimately made of energy and everything is connected. We are contributing to creating our own universe. ...

I didn't say that all of PT is BS. Religions have their value too but are also full of BS.

If you're discussing liquid in a container, you're not discussing the philosophy behind the question. You are criticizing philosophy without understanding it.
Krish55 replies on May 10, 2018:
Since you are so enamored of Philosophy, it would be appropriate to discuss the issue at hand rather than make personal comments. Please explain your last paragraph.

You haven't yet disproved my critique. Nor have I discarded "Philosphy," but merely aimless, ungrounded theorizing.

the glass is refillable...

Seriously, though, it's refillable if we're lucky enough to have access to resources such as water and milk.

The Philosophy erroneously assumes that a statement about the liquid indicates a certain type of attitude.

Half-full implies the mathematical addition of "positive." Half -empty implies the mathematical of "subtraction" or, negative numbers. Please stop trying to be philosophically "astute" when the basics clearly apply.
Krish55 replies on May 10, 2018:
Pointing out the manipulation of words to support a desired philosophy of life is not being pretentious.

I think this is missing the important point that the glass isn't full of milk. That's horse semen

No wonder you left the glass half-full!

Krish55 replies on May 10, 2018:
You are mathematically correct as far as positive and negative regarding mathematical meaning. However this is totally different from positive and negative with regards to social meaning. The milk example illustrates this difference!

AnandaKhan comments on May 9, 2018:
Just one false dichotomy to rule out the entire field of philosophy and the great insights of great philosophers!! They asked those questions in the first place!!!!

Uncorrugated comments on Apr 28, 2018:
We're talking semantics again. I believe lots of claims. The reason I believe is because I have assessed the evidence for those claims and understand that it is sufficient for me to accept them as likely to be true. I agree that you can believe for good reasons or bad reasons, but provided you...

Of course we're talking semantics. And we have to - if we care about meaning!

Petter comments on Apr 25, 2018:
It looks interesting - but how does it relate to countries outside of the USA? To Britain, France or Spain for example, where police brutality is (nowadays) severely curtailed and the welfare state has become strongly rooted?
Krish55 replies on Apr 25, 2018:
I show that the more social-democratic the country is, the better its education system.
