God says...
lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
6:18 Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him.
6:19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
6:20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? 6:21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
6:22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
6:23 Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.

Why "social"?

#9If you have a good understanding of consciousness / mind, you can derive the answer for most philosophical problems from that.
The success of science in explaining everything else, however, means that practically we can treat the mind as an epiphenomenon.

#10In the question, "communitarianism, egalitarianism, or libertarianism", 40% said "Other".
I'd really like to know if any one idea dominates here - for example, if 38% of philosophers espouse totalitarianism, that's worth getting into.
