Salaam,
Philosophy/Science is not only a versatile topic for discussion, but also a very difficult one. Perhaps for this reason, many threads in S&P forum are opened with a (long) copy-paste along with a link. This is indeed one way to provide information; however, I feel that it is not enough to start a discussion. It can actually be very discouraging to start a discussion in such threads. Therefore, although I do not prohibit the pasting of external articles, I rather encourage you to provide a link with a short summary in your own words, and more importantly, give us some insight into your own opinion and the reason you selected the article.
Threads that are only copy-pasted articles can be considered to be closed down without notice.
Thank you for your understanding.
