I'm never convinced by this way of using the terms "subjective" and "objective". "Tim likes apples" is not objectively true? Isn't it a fact that Tim ...
I think this gives too much credit to corporations. In my experience of corporations, they're more like badly run local government: bureaucratic and s...
Not the same thing but I enjoyed this one: /uploads/resized/files/r0/hmlang2zw0n08g10.jpg https://www.facebook.com/arsgratiartismutatismutandis.25/pos...
Yes, I know what you mean. When I first saw it, at the Tretyakov Gallery, I was unmoved as I wandered past staring at it vacantly. Only later I realiz...
The painting of the pile of skulls is called "The Apotheosis of War" by Vasily Vereshchagin, sarcastically dedicated "to all great conquerors, past, p...
Using means you can write it in a monospace text editor and paste it straight in: p------q----------------(p--------q)------?---q ____________________...
It was me. It's possible I was a little hasty in moving it, because I didn't really look at the responses, basing my decision mainly on the OP. But st...
I remember when I first heard that song on Obscured by Clouds, thinking, ah, it's nice to get a bit of light relief; a jaunty whimsical reflection on ...
Since March 30, officially no: But so far it's not as strict as Spain. Unlike there, I haven't encountered any police checking what I buy at the super...
Right now I long for a garden like that. England? /uploads/resized/files/af/f6pgn7x4w7evru0z.jpg Isolation Station, Moscow. Pretty much the same as be...
There was a member here called The Great Whatever. He had a powerful intellect and a persuasive character, an unremitting pessimist, and said the only...
I presume that antinatalists stay alive merely to convince others. And, not to be too flippant, it's a hard thing on your loved ones to commit suicide...
Yes, I do think that pessimism, or at least antinatalism, is fundamentally a matter of temperament, as something beyond or prior to the rational. The ...
"Heymann said masks could create a false sense of security that could end up putting people at greater risk. Even with the mouth and nose fully covere...
Yes, without self-love you don't hold yourself to account. One way to look at it: when you don't love someone, you're indifferent to their actions--yo...
Yes, that's my top plan right now. Stay in a hotel, or a cottage in the mountains, for 7-10 days till I'm sure I'm ok, and then go to them. Moscow is ...
I'm in Russia but my visa runs out next month, when I'm due to return to Spain, which is currently under lockdown as one of the worst-hit countries in...
There's a twitter icon in the editor tools, which is a shortcut for the code that you can, alternatively, enter manually: https://twitter.com/randypai...
I've been repeatedly listening to this short recording I made while having a beer in a cafe in a ski resort at the foot of Mount Elbrus in the mainly ...
I would have deleted the OP if I'd seen it before it generated a discussion. It's so lacking in anything philosophical or interesting that it looks li...
Less troublesome terms, ones that don't introduce Kant's more subtle and unique transcendental, are immanent and speculative. Kant uses these terms to...
Yeah I think that works. EDIT: Although it's probably still going to be confusing and distracting for anyone who has struggled with these terms in Kan...
My instinct is to say you should ditch the word entirely and find something else (I may think of something later), but between those two options I'd g...
I've just read the essay and I can see that despite the clear definition of transcendentalism at the beginning, elsewhere in the essay you use transce...
@"Pfhorrest" I'm sorry if you think I'm rudely ignoring your essay and the reasons you chose to use the term transcendentalism, but I can't resist a b...
