What is the one incontrovertible truth found in all science, philosophy, and religion?

Friday, January 29th, 2010

askyourmind asked:

I was brought up in a very strong Christian environment. Unlike my brothers and sisters I was never able to embrace Christianity so I began looking for alternative explanations for our genesis and why the world is how it is. I looked to science and evolution, eastern philosophy, and my own observations of human interaction and from this wealth of human knowledge was able to discern one incontrovertible truth which remains constant in all science, philosophy and religion. Can you tell me what it is?

Why do right wing conservatives think their philosophy is so great when its so wrong and destructive?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Change Now asked:

Why don’t believe who still believe in Reagan, etc. realize that they are just pawns of the rich and powerful?

You got to be really stupid to continue to follow their flawed philosophy. Look at what’s going on today. It’s all the result of their bad ideas.

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

stratman687 asked:

I have been thinking about philosophy, metaphysics, epiphenomenalism, quantum mechanics, science, death, and the meaning of life obsessively for the past 6 months. I haven’t been able to enjoy life at all… I am currently getting psychotherapy with a social worker but it’s been a bit slow… Is there anybody who has had the same problem and how they cope with it?

What can you do with a Philosophy degree?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

nat asked:

I’m fascinated with Philosophy and I’d love to major in that, something I could actually enjoy. But as far as I know there’s not really any good paying jobs with a Philosophy degree and the only option really is to get your Master’s or PhD and teach. Does anyone know anything else you could do with a Philosophy degree?
