Thoughts on philosophy forum.

A enthnics and philo forum i think would be cool. One question what are you talking about NC mental masturbation and the such. I think it should include the whole subject you know. So Mods or Sup Mods whould it be possilbe if there was enough intrest.

I believe NC meant that it just is something you do in your mind, and that it really doesn't accomplish much.

Philo can accomplish nothing over than a very intresting topic now this is the first example that came to mind but still i question like why dies a sphere roll and a cube not cant really be anwered by science other than well a sphere is a sphere, its round thats obvious. Do you see where i mean does that just sound like mad rammbleing.

I think if a few problems where adressed it could be a good forum. A forum on Philo would encorage more postings on this topic and would cause more indepth conversation maybe than with any other forum.

It would bring a larger community to ATS therefore making the web site more money. I mean how many well established philosophy message boards are there. It would also open many other doors and benafit the web site lots. If you were to find how many were for and how many against it might be wearth while. Not to mention giveing chances for some intresting guests therefore bringing even greater numbers. As well as gaining a bit more credability by this i mean most non-conspricy theorists think "How sad" but if it has what is classed as a intelligent but weird semi-science thing we may gain more credibility. In which case more chances to Deny Ignorance to a wider community. This bit isnt a joke by the way.

And latter unite the world LOL

shorty - How about a Philosophy and Metaphysics forum? It could be included as a subcategory under the Science forum ...

well i believe NC ruined this thread by talking about what he does daily...

anyway, there is nothing conpiracy-ish about philosophy, or is there???

our motto is deny ignorance...

philosophy would go better in BTS...

talk to SimonGray...

Not sure about science not being able to answer your cube/sphere conundrum.

If you want to smoke a fat one it's pointless asking a cube to roll it.

Your premise that there is nothing conspiracy-ish about philosophy... OK


but then you jump to... "our motto is deny ignorance"


and then to the conclusion ... put it on BTS.


A completely INCOHERANT argument!


Edit: decided to adress topic..

"an sich" (striaght into to philosophy here) its a great idea.

I think it best to make a difference between theist worldviews and atheist ones. One will be the religions forum and the other this proposed philosophy one. There is no use debating the existance of god/gods in a religion or theology forum as his existance is pre-supposed there, therefore a philosophy depaaartment (said in an aussie accent) is a goo idea imo.

Why do you need a Philosophy forum to talk about it? If there's something specific you want to talk about put it in Chit Chat, or if there's a specific Philosopher you want to discuss start a thread about them and their ideas in Literature, it's that easy really. If you want to talk about Philosophy then talk about it, there's nothing stopping you, but I don't think the subject is going to run rampant on this board enough to justify a forum of it's own...

You could say that about anything though UFOs NWO secret societies every single forum could go under Chit Chat.

errrr...not really. This is a conspiracy board and these kinds of topics are the ones that people generally come here for, having their own subject forum is justified and absolutely necessary.

The Fragile Earth forum isn't 'conspicy-ish' nor alot of other forums i dont really want to list them all because you know them as well probably better than i do. I dont mind if it is on ATS or BTS i would just enjoy one as well as other people and i think it would bennifit the board community in genral.

Well as I've said no one is actually stopping you from starting threads on Philosophical subjects, go for it. Start a few threads in Chit Chat or whatever and see what kind of response they get, if they go well and get a huge response then that might justify creating a forum for it and again...no one's stopping you.

If anything though, as morbid said earlier in the thread maybe "Faith, Spirituality and Theology" should be changed to "Faith, Spirituality, Theology and Philosophy" if you absolutely need to have a forum or sub-forum heading in order to feel right posting about it.

I would post a philo subject on Chit Chat if i had anything to say about it. So I call to whatever Philosophy members are about make a thread in Chit chat about Philo to kee John happy.

No offence

"kee John happy" errr...ok. I couldn't possibly get offended as I can't understand what you write half of the time, no offense if you've got dyslexia.

I don't need to be made happy, I'm just suggesting ways to make yourself happy, if you want to talk about "Philo" then go for it.

Personally I'll probably stay away as "Philo" can be a hard enough subject to get around without struggling to try and grasp your own version of spelling and grammar as well.

No offense.

out.

Oh no you discovered my secret. im gonna have to silence to now. Not really, yeah im dyslexic yeah i can spell keep properly but weather i can spell properly properly is debateable. I dont blame dyslexia for bad spelling or gramma though. Now we got that sorted.

Dont you think doesn't any part of you think it might be intresting to read posts in a forum like that. The subject of Philiosophy is a incredible intresting and complex subject weather you class it as a fools science or even a science at all. Ok then answer me this with science why does a sphere roll and a cube not.

I think we discuss philosophy quite a bit in the forums. Hard to avoid with the topics we raise here. As to a forum, I think it becomes redundant to create one when it's already on the board. Sorta like that last sentance. As stated before if you have something specific you want to discuss, Chit Chat is there. You not a BTS bigot are you?

As to the sphere/cube thingy, that's not philosophy, physics will provide you with the answer to that one.

Your right its not philosophy but philosophy can provide an anwser and i belive you are missing the point.
