What do you mean by this Agustino?

And when you feel you've gone as far as you can go.

I think you experience your experiences, and we can distinguish these: memory and first-hand. Memory is part of experience, but the transient experien...

Prima facie false, as false as the claim that the risks of rock climbing always outweigh the benefits. Fine. I made no claim that people had casual se...

If you agreed to it previously then you contradicted yourself when you said "No they couldn't argue so".

But you missed my (rather pedestrian) point, which is that there are different kinds of sexual relationship, including temporary and permanent, and an...

It's a mental state.

Because part of the joy of life is shared pleasure, whether long-lasting or not. This is not quite true in my experience. I don't see the problem in a...

So you think it's impossible to form a temporary bond, one that lasts only for one night? Or do you think temporary bonds are insignificant or pointle...

What is the spiritual dimension of sex, and do you think one can explore this dimension, or do justice to it, in a one-night stand?

"If A then B" appears to be a conditional statement, not an argument. A is the antecedent and B is the consequent (not the premise and conclusion). Un...

A relevant article from yesterday, which puts some meat on the bones of my post: Why Have People “Had Enough of Experts”?

Putting this here as a reminder for the next time I send feature requests to PlushForums.

I personally have no objection to the occasional post with nothing in it except a thumbs-up in response to another post, but I wouldn't want to see it...

Here's a story. The end of the Cold War removed all challenges to capitalism, and politics in many places became less the forum for fundamental disagr...

No, that's not a feature. I guess I could ask for it, but I see very little need for it myself. If many others agree then I'll ask the developers for ...

I'm buying a soprano sax soon, so I've been watching soprano sax stuff on youtube, and I came across this from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, w...

:D Get real, you say, after offering this real-life utterance from a fire-chief: Anyway, it seemed like you were trying to engage with the philosophic...

According to your usage, yes, but I think that's a non-philosophical usage.

This is a bit confusing, because as far as I'm aware it's not the traditional distinction used in Western philosophy, going all the way back to the Gr...

I don't think it implies any kind of containment, no.

I don't think it does.

The true believer speaks.

You don't need the extravagance of three legs when one will do. /uploads/files/mk/11zjghuovq25s2x0.jpg

Done. Thanks.

Note that this claim is part of the "New realist" ontology of philosopher Markus Gabriel, so I'd say it's quite respectable.

Yesterday I read a very interesting article accusing the liberals and left of crying wolf over Trump's racism. It takes each accusation and examines i...

@"dukkha" I think you asked the same thoughtless question back on the old PF, and I seem to remember responding to it. I say thoughtless, because I ca...

You might want to actually read what @"Baden" has written in this thread.

Cornell students hold ‘Cry In’ over Trump victory

"She was the Democratic candidate because it was her turn and because a Clinton victory would have moved every Democrat in Washington up a notch. Whet...

You can use your own domain on Squarespace.

I also dislike Wordpress, but lots of people seem to like it. @"Benkei" You said in the OP that you're creating a "digital CV" but then you say you do...

Works nicely, although I'm still hoping the PlushForums devs will build it into the software. That way we could achieve what I'm presuming is the opti...

@"Landru Guide Us" joined a year ago but hasn't been seen for nine months. Things were pretty quiet at the time, so there probably weren't enough righ...

Chrome too? This is super cool. I'll try it later.

I don't know if that's more, or less, bleak than Curtis's message itself. People have changed the world. Don Quixote may have been deluded but he did ...

Me too. I particularly love his accent. Used to listen to 6music years ago. Is that what the cool kids are tuning into these days? I may try it again.

Almost makes me homesick for the UK. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CFFWF1DnZKM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=adYUJn7UUN8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v...

As I say, I like his films and I agree with much of what he says. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be critical.

In his words, "the system". Or maybe his story is just propaganda for itself.

So the question then, if we choose to forgive him the cherrypicking, the tenuous links and the exaggeration, is: does the story add up? Is it a good d...

Yep. The details on Trump's casino business were confusing, or confused, and didn't add much to the story, although tracing everything (on the America...

But as I recall, he says something to the effect that suicide bombing slipped out of Assad's control and into the hands of the Sunni extremists (then ...

I mostly agree, although if you've seen several of his films you'll see that he can tell different stories about the same period or the same events, a...
