Is the judgement that certain government actions or policies are tyrannical (Such as how M.L.K. viewed segregation laws), purely subjective? Is there any objectivity to this?

Looking at the striking beauty of 'nature',the galaxy,the animals ,flowers & trees & even myself.how perfectly everything is times & orchestrated in all these things.Even in the functioning of the human body,the way seasons change & the leaves turning so pretty during fall.Looking at the cycle of life from how a baby is born,how a bird migrates for miles together & returns back to the place where it started off without a GPS.Looking at the fact that with all our intelligence we are unable to recreate or duplicate life, our incapacity to create even a squirrel.The fact that evolution is just a presumption,man evolved from monkey & it has even since stopped there & we haven't further evolved into another being...all this points out to a supreme being,an all powerful God who is behind all this.How is that folks with all their intelligence are unable to believe in a God who created them?

"Determinism is the philosophical proposition that every event, including human cognition and behavior, decision and action, is causally determined by an unbroken chain of prior occurrences."

To paraphrase Richard Dawkins, a flipped coin lands heads or tails based entirely on its conditions. A life could be a same way. First off, you're only alive (being flipped in the air) because the human species wants to grow. Any thought or action you make is based on prior conditions that lead to those particular climaxes.

What argument does free will have here?

What do you think would happen if time machines were invented and easily manufactured? What kind of laws would be made regulating time travel? (or what kind of laws do you think should be made regulating time travel?) What kind of things would people use time travel for?

isn't knowing something only a concept you create based on your previous "understandings"?
Perhaps you only think you understand, and no one really knows anything.

Fish is very rebellious and will not stay clean. It's an angry fish and doesn't want anyone to clean it. It will clean itself when it wants to be clean and not when someone else decides. What would you do?

a lot of the time i struggle with the idea of humanity, sometimes i feel like we're so far removed from whats actually real. i mean yeah we all "need" money in this society, but as soon as your to that point where you have food, shelter, health, living affluently, why are so many people just not happy with what they have, they need to make more money. money is so trivial to me, i really wish all the money in the world would burn.

Socrates defends at several points in the dialogue the so-called “noble lie”. What is this and what is the defence for it? Are the arguments in favour of the noble lie good ones? Why or why not? What difference does it make, if any?
