[Magus]

Is this a poll?

What is your favorite branch in philosophy(morals,metaphysics,logic)?Well, Logic is very difficult for me, so I always move to metaphysics.

Who is your favorite philosopher?Any kid will tell you Friedrich Nitzch

Do you think life has value?Life does not have an intrinsic value on its own. We give it values and numerals.

If so then what exact value?An undefined value.

Do you or I exist?Hard to say. Solipsist says that yourself is the only true reality, and others are just a virtual projection.

But I am a Naturalist, and I say we all exist.

What is your view on existence?Not important.

Do you believe there is a God?I don't believe in anything.

Do you think it takes human shape?That's beyond absurd. If there is such a thing as "God", it then wouldn't take a shape of a 3 dimensional primitive being such as us. If anything at all, it would be a 4 dimensional being of pure quantum energy.

If you believe there is a god,who created him or her or it?Infinite Regress.

Do you believe there is an after life?As a Naturalist. I don't.

Is there right or wrong?There is no such thing as right and wrong. Human developed the right and wrong to direct its actions in a society.

Is anyone to say what is right or wrong?No one. We follow our guts.

Should the government have control who can and can't get married?
Depends on the circumstances.

Do you think your government is too controlling?Very.

Do you believe there is true freedom?No, I don't believe in true freedom.

Do you have hope for humanity?As a post-humanist, I do.

Is there value to anything?No. We construct and assign values.

Is there such thing as logic?Define logic. :P

Is there such thing as normality?Everything is normal.

If a tree falls in the forest,and no is around to hear it,does it make a sound?What kind of a question is this?

Do you think this earth is over populated?By humans? Yes.

Do you think this universe in finite,or infinite?Neither, it's indefinite.

Do you think anything is possible?Yes.

Do you think life could just be a dream?Stop watching the Matrix.

Are dreams reality,or delusions?Delusions is something else. But dreams are reality. It's a processes. But why it's there is still not known.

Do you every man deserves freedom?Every man deserves a chance, no?

[deadpie]

What is your favorite branch in philosophy(morals,metaphysics,logic)? Existentialism

Who is your favorite philosopher? I have many, but Albert Camus, Max Stirner, Ted Kaczynski somewhat, and obviously Slavoj Žižek (Genius beyond words).

Do you think life has value? Somewhat. Life is pointless, so make a point to it.

Do you or I exist? We exist.

What is your view on existence? What about it? I find it very empty.

Do you believe there is a God? No.

Do you think it takes human shape? No.

If you believe there is a god,who created him or her or it? N/A

Do you believe there is an after life? No.

Is there right or wrong? Everything is right in terms of actions and emotions. I am a man of reason and look for answers to why people do things and do find the better in people and don't always look at the 'sick monster' people speak of.

Is anyone to say what is right or wrong? Sure, any one can. Any dumbass can say whatever they want. Doesn't mean they're correct.

Should the government have control who can and can't get married? No.

Do you think your government is too controlling? Mine? Not really. It could definitely be worse. Don't worry, we'll get there soon enough.

Do you believe there is true freedom? Freedom doesn't exist.

Do you have hope for humanity? No.

Is there value to anything? Like with life, nothing starts with value, so you make value in or for it.

Is there such thing as logic? Yes.

Is there such thing as normality? Normality is just a word. It means nothing. There's no such thing as 'normal'.

If a tree falls in the forest,and no is around to hear it,does it make a sound? If it falls down on pillows it will still make a sound.

Do you think this earth is over populated(by humans)? Yes.

Do you think this universe in finite,or infinite? Infinite.

Do you think anything is possible? No.

Do you think life could just be a dream? It could be, but that's such a dumb way to look at life and so much more depressing. My views on everything are depressing enough.

Are dreams reality,or delusions? They're just there to help your mind re cooperate. Nightmares on the other hand? I don't really know.

Do you every man deserves freedom? Yes. Even the sickest men of them all. If you find they have done something inhumane, treat them kindly until the issue is resolved. Don't treat them like a dog and shoot it in the head while it's tongue is sticking out at you.

[RoseyCadaver]

I guess I should do my on poll,shouldn't I :P?

What is your favorite branch in philosophy(morals,metaphysics,logic)?I personally like them all,and don't have a specific branch.

Who is your favorite philosopher?Don't really have a favorite one,just curious of who others were.

Do you think life has value?I think if think it does then it does .Like money,it could buy you anything,or it could just be fire kindle.

If so then what exact value?How much value you put into it.


Do you or I exist?I believe we exist,my other persona.I believe if we wish to exist,then we exist.I also think,that anything here,that is already here,does exist.

What is your view on existence?It's what you want it to be,after all,it is just a word.

Do you believe there is a God?Yes,some kind or form of God.


Do you think it takes human shape?Not at all.I believe many people who picture it as human to help their mind comprehend it better.

If you believe there is a god,who created him or her or it?I believe it was it an infinite chain,some where something did create it,yes.

Do you believe there is an after life?Some form or kind.

Is there right or wrong?I do believe there is a right or wrong,but every persons' right or wrong is based on them,there is no definite right or wrong.

Is anyone to say what is right or wrong?I don't think anyone can tell you what is right or wrong,only you can.I can try to guide you though.


Should the government have control who can and can't get married?
No,not at all.I don't think it's the government's right to say who can or can not get married.

Do you think your government is too controlling?
A little.It could be a lot worse.Which I fear it will get worse sooner or later.

Do you believe there is true freedom?
I think only by dying will you be truly free,sadly.

I want to say that I do,but the way things are going....

[HaydenM]

What is your favorite branch in philosophy(morals,metaphysics,logic)?
Personally I like morals, but the others I don't mind either.

Who is your favorite philosopher?
no one philosopher in particular.

Do you think life has value?
in the big scheme no, but we make value as a self indulged delusion that we all wish to endure.

If so then what exact value?
nil


Do you or I exist?
Yes, although Solipsism says you don't and only I do I don't like the notion because it says that i could commit genocide and it wouldn't matter because anyone i killed does not exist.

What is your view on existence?
We are here, there is probably no reason, but we mos well make the most of it.

Do you believe there is a God?
No

Do you think it takes human shape?
No, we are not in god's image, he is in ours.

If you believe there is a god,who created him or her or it?
The flying spaghetti monster.

Do you believe there is an after life?
No, I wish I could but I see it as nothing more that sociological control

Is there right or wrong?
we have created a moral code so yes it does exist.

Is anyone to say what is right or wrong?
no one person is but society as a whole has progressed to "commonly agreed" right and wrongs.

Should the government have control who can and can't get married?
no, marriage is a human invension and ergo any human should be able to partake (no animals or inanimate objects :P)

Do you think your government is too controlling?
yes, but it's better than anarchy

Do you believe there is true freedom?
No, we will always be confined and if not by society itself we will be confined to the ethical code we are raised to adhere to.

Do you have hope for humanity?
Yes, because if you don't then life is just more depressing. We will either kill ourselves out or adapt and spread elsewhere.

Is there value to anything?
yes, we assign value as humans as a way of putting things in perspective.

Is there such thing as logic?
if by logic you mean knowledge then yes

Is there such thing as normality?
normality is everything, even things being different are normal

If a tree falls in the forest,and no one is around to hear it,does it make a sound?
depends on the perception of sound. What if sound was recorded? no one heard the tree fall, but they heard the sound of the recording of the tree fall. so ergo yes it does.

Do you think this earth is over populated(by humans)?
Yes, and its getting progressively worse and worse.

Do you think this universe in finite,or infinite?
my mind can only grasp it as infinite, otherwise what is there, a brick wall that says "congratulations you have reached the edge of the universe P.s. no easter eggs here"

Do you think anything is possible?
yes

Do you think life could just be a dream?
it could be, the irony is we will never find out.

Are dreams reality,or delusions?
delusion, but why do we have them? and why do some people not remember them?

Do you every man deserves freedom?
we all deserve it, but do we deserve freedom as ourselves or as our past, not just our passed but the past of our fathers and their fathers before them etc. "The sins of our fathers, aint it a bitch"


I love that like all philosophy most of these questions can only be answered by more questions.

[Genghis Khan]

What is your favorite branch in philosophy(morals,metaphysics,logic)?

My knowledge on metaphysics is appallingly basic, so I'll go with morals or logic.

Who is your favorite philosopher?

None.

Do you think life has value?

In general, no. Life is life. Some creatures have no regard to life and give it fuck all importance, like the male praying mantises that allow themselves to be eaten by the female. We've given life value.


Do you or I exist?

Yes.

What is your view on existence?

We exist.

Do you believe there is a God?

I believe there may be a 0.000001% chance in Einstein and Sagan's 'God' but I'd still refrain from calling it 'God'.

Do you think it takes human shape?

Unless the universe has ever taken human shape, no.

If you believe there is a god,who created him or her or it?

Everyone knows God was always there.

No.

Well, we're the only species on this planet that can distinguish between right and wrong. So yes, to us at least there is.

Yes. But morality is subjective.

Should the government have control who can and can't get married?

Depends on the situation.

Do you think your government is too controlling?

Not that much, the UK goes apeshit over political correctness.

Do you believe there is true freedom?

This question is slightly vague. Elaborate plz.

Do you have hope for humanity?

I don't know.

Is there value to anything?

To the things we give value.

-____-

Yeah of course.

Infinite. Until it's finite.

Do you think anything is possible?

Try putting toothpaste back in the tube using just your bare hands.

Even if it is the case, why waste your time pondering about it. We have important humanly matters to attend to like, driving other species to extinction etc. k?

Are dreams reality,or delusions?

Reality. Because dreams are reality, because you know.. they happen. Things happen in reality. Like.. dreams and stuff.

Do you every man deserves freedom?

Unless they use that freedom to halt someone else's.

Any other comments on your philosophy you like to add?

penis.

[RoseyCadaver]

This question is slightly vague. Elaborate plz.



Do you believe that there is such thing as any form of freedom,or that we have free will?

[Genghis Khan]

Do you believe that there is such thing as any form of freedom,or that we have free will?

There is such a scenario where people are 'freed' and there is 'freedom' from perhaps... oppression. Do we have free will? No. Not in its purest form. Neither is there any such thing as freedom in its purest form. Our freedom and will is limited to the point where we do things that limit the freedom of others and brings harm upon them, and in some cases yourself too.

[TBJohnston]

What is your favorite branch in philosophy (examples:morals,metaphysics,logic)?
- Existentialism / Nihilism

Who is your favorite philosopher?
- Epicurus although I really don't know much about him. It was quote of his that lead me into the philosophical world. That and I didn't want to put Nietzsche as he's becoming a cliché!

Do you think life has value?
- To some extent.

If so then what exact value?
- Personal value that we create for ourselves.

Do you or I exist?
- You can't be logically proven to exist, but that's a little to out there for myself and going by our current understanding of our universe I'm comfortable in concluding that you do.

What is your view on existence?
-It's ultimately meaningless unless some type of 'intrinsic' value is found like a deity of some sort but currently, they aren't anything more than myths to myself.

Do you believe there is a God?
- No, I try to be open-minded but ones existence seems unlikely.

Do you think it takes human shape?
- With the giant variety of deities that have been thought to exist throughout human history I'm honestly lost on what one's supposed to look like. But to answer the question, if one exists probably not.

If you believe there is a god, who created him or her or it?
- I don't believe, but theists often proclaim that their god is eternal which means that there isn't any beginning. Though thought to get your head around, but I guess something omnipotent is!

Do you believe there is an after life?
- No, as science teaches us we're just a product of our brains and the idea that something survives death after our brain ceases to function it irrational, illogical, and usually a fear based belief.

Is there right or wrong?
- Universally, no. I haven't done enough 'research' in the topic of moral nihilism which is what my answer would probably be classed under but my answer makes sense to myself.

Is anyone to say what is right or wrong?
- The government? Like any human being I do my best to live by the laws, while some of them I mightn't agree with that's something we just have to put up with.

Should the government have control who can and can't get married?
- I believe that the decision should lay between two (Or more?) adults if they would like to get married or not and that isn't anyone else's business.

Do you think your government is too controlling?
- I'm not really into politics. Being 16 my parent handles most things at the moment, so I guess if I'm still active on this website in the next few years you will get your answer!

Do you believe there is true freedom?
- Never considered the question, but the first answer that popped into my head would be no.

Do you have hope for humanity?
- Lost for an answer!

Is there value to anything?
- There isn't any value in anything unless you give it value I guess.

Is there such thing as logic?
- Definitely, some things just 'logically' make sense while others don't. That's the only way for me to answer the question, you've got me thinking with some of these!

Is there such thing as normality?
- No, normality can't be defined properly in my opinion.

If a tree falls in the forest,and no one is around to hear it,does it make a sound?
- No, there isn't anyone to hear it.

Do you think this earth is over populated(by humans)?
- At the moment we're starting to head in that direction. I remember reading on a website that we don't have enough space for much more than around 8 Billion and we just hit 7 the other month or something.

Do you think this universe in finite,or infinite?
- Infinite. All I know is that we're currently expanding and even that process is speeding up due to dark mater or something of the sort.

Do you think anything is possible?
- Hypothetically? Yes, I guess.

Do you think life could just be a dream?
- Sure, but there's also that slight chance that cows are actually the government in disguise spying on the farmers!

Are dreams reality,or delusions?
- A function of the brain for all I know.

Do you every man deserves freedom?
- Definitely, and don't forget the women! ;)

Any other comments on your philosophy you like to add?
-[B]Thanks for writing up the survey, it's 3:42 in the morning here in Australia and I don't think sleep is an option at the moment as my head has just been flooded with some interesting thoughts that don't often cross my mind. :yeah:
