Q: Why do you think leedan didn't ask a question?

A: Because questions display more of the darkness on one's soul than answers do.

A: I would rather catch a fish and eat it. Even though fish meat is practically a vegetable, I like fishing because it's like yoga, but I still get to kill something.

Q: Is our data safe in the "cloud"?

Q. Do you believe in other life forms in the universe?

Tank · June 22, 2011, 08:07:01 AM

Q. Do you believe in other life forms in the universe?

A: With a qualification of 'life' to include single celled micro-organisms I would be astonished if not only did it not exist but exist in considerable quantity. If one considers technologically capable creatures capable of abstract communication I would say probability of a few is again almost a certainty. But that would be because there are so many places such life could evolve. I do think that technologically advanced civilisations would be vanishingly rare, and our probability of ever discovering consequently minuscule, as our possibility of communication pretty much non-existent.

Q. How would you feel if we discovered a technologically advanced civilisation on another planet, but it was 200 light years away?

Aaron SF · June 23, 2011, 09:31:02 AM

Q. How would you feel if we discovered a technologically advanced civilisation on another planet, but it was 200 light years away?

A. That all depends on whether or not said civilization had the power to reach us.

In the spirit of the question, assuming it did not have the power to reach us, it would depend on whether or not they wanted to kill us. Advanced civilization who wants to liquify our monkey brains and I'm kind of ok with those 200 light years.

Q. Have you ever seen the Atheist Experience tv show, and if so what is your opinion of it?

Quote from: Aaron SF on June 23, 2011, 09:31:02 AMQ. Have you ever seen the Atheist Experience tv show, and if so what is your opinion of it?

I have indeed! I think it's a brilliant way to put atheism out there in the world and demonstrate we're not evil or immoral (or amoral) or that we hate god or something. It also, I think, demonstrates to callers that they should question their perspectives a bit more often.

Philosopher John Rawls, in an attempt to determine the morality of a certain social issue, posited the thought experiment colloquially called the 'veil of ignorance'. Imagine that societal roles were randomly redistributed, but that you cannot see the ultimate consequence of this redistribution because you're behind a veil of ignorance, unable to see where you will end up. You don't know if you'll be born into health or disease, wealth or poverty, talent or normalcy. Based on this thought experiment, one can thus be given a new perspective on the morality of an issue, like slavery or welfare or education. I'd like you to walk through this thought experiment for a moment and see if your opinions or perception changes about the way the world works. In what way has your perception changed, if at all?
