In the movie "My Life" Bob is dying from cancer. He's kind of a PR showman. In his last months, he videos himself so his kid will know him in the future. Is this narcissistic? Would it be better for a kid to not know about a parent, rather than be told "this is your dead dad you can mourn for." Do you want a 5 year old kid going to school saying "I have a dead dad" or is it better just to let the child grow up with a step dad being the only dad he knows? A lot of women who remarry when the child is an infant, tell the child her husband is the daddy. They usually wait until the child become a late teen or adult to tell the child her husband is not the child's biological father. Which is more moral? Tell the child the truth from the beginning, or save the child from pain of knowing he used to have a different daddy, but that daddy died a horrible death???

Are there any philosophers out there who can explain this problem, using academic philosophical terms?

A church has 2 co-pastors. According to the OFFICIAL organizational chart, the pastors' boss is the bishop, and are totally independent from the specific church organization (as far as organizational hierarchy goes) The church organization is led by an executive committee.

The first co-pastor says "My boss is the executive committee."

The second co-pastor says "I am the boss of the executive committee."

Assuming the co-pastors are, in truth, of equal power, how can all three of these scenarios be articulated such that all three seemingly different answers become a philosophical truth?

I'm trying to find the name of a song. It is from the early 80s disco era, and it's an instrumental (synth) song. It has two contrasting parts: a low part that's fast and "boingy" and "punchy" followed by a high part which is standard synth sound. https://sitemaker.umich.edu/anton/files/name_this_... is a poor sample of what I'm talking about. Anyone know??

In the U.S., archaeology constitutes a sub-field of the discipline of anthropology. For interpretive insights as well as theory-building, archaeologists have long pinned their star to anthropology. Lately it has been suggested that archaeologists need to think more about what differentiates the two disciplines if they hope to realize the full potential of the study of the past and make genuine theoretical contributions. Can archaeology stand alone?

In excel, the arrow key is supposed to move your box either left/right or up/down. For some reason, when I hit my arrow key, the page is moving around, but the box remains highlighting the same cell. I must have hit something in error to make it do that. How do I UNDO that. I want the arrow keys to move the boxes around, not stay in the same cell and move the page around

Who invented Mrs. Beasley? I can't find any info about her origin. Was she the maid of the creator of the show? Was she a grandmother of someone involved in producing the show? Where did the name from the doll originate? The doll certainly was named after a real person, but who was the real person?

How do you know when you are in love? Is marriage hard to bear if both of you love each other? When do you know it's time to change from dating to becoming engaged? How do you know who the right person to marry is, especially when so many marriages end in divorce? Some people say men simply don't know how to love, that they settle to have sex with only one partner rather than "falling in love".. I know it's common to fall in love, but are you a person who can HONESTLY say you have NEVER been in love with anyone at all? What does it feel like to be in love, can you actually describe it? How long does love last, does it come and go, such as I loved him for 10 years then the "feeling" went away, and is it OK if you stop loving someone if that person is innocent and doesn't deserve for you to stop loving him/her?
