Too late.

You say it for fun. But I have also considered that possibility also.
August 16, 2021 at 19:24
I don't think that "reality" is nothing more than the name that observer gives to the "environment" he can perceive.
August 15, 2021 at 13:42
For me, always imagined the "nature" of ultimate reality as a unique form of energy that goes through everything in universe and contains all the univ...
August 15, 2021 at 13:31
As in other similar matters too, I find extremely important the Wording. We must be very careful with the right Wording of these questions. Therefore ...

Self cultivation for me, is mostly about working-knowing yourself.And is a lifelong unstoppable process. There isn't one road as to achieve that. Each...
August 10, 2021 at 20:59
And all these are what makes me believe that Wittgenstein wanted mostly to point out how language easily misleads us ,cause of its limitations! He see...

Easy money if we could bet on that.

You should have never opened such dark gates. Now anxiety seems to be our lightest problem.
August 07, 2021 at 21:02
Can I bet to the "maybe not" case?
August 07, 2021 at 20:36
Isn't anxiety caused by fear? What are you talking about? Sorry my friend but you sound like one of those life coaches, who are to philosophers what m...
August 07, 2021 at 18:52
Well yeah but the book suggestion answers to your initial question. Maybe that's why they try to urge you read it. You can't blame them for that. Just...
August 07, 2021 at 14:02
As long as you explain them right. Again your understanding isn't the only one. And not necessarily the right one. The one who disagrees with your und...
August 06, 2021 at 23:51
Glad you admit it.Just on time as to get out the idea, that was starting to shape in my mind, of you being stubborn.
August 06, 2021 at 23:45
I think you are playing with the words here. He did told you something already. But since you insist. Can you put what is going on in unconscious huma...
August 06, 2021 at 23:32
Yeah but that doesn't mean that it isn't a chaos also.
August 06, 2021 at 18:09
They share some common principles. But yes no fixed way at all.
August 06, 2021 at 17:52
Human nature is random chaos.
August 06, 2021 at 17:43
True. We don't have to take anything that has been said for granted and to accept it, just because someone said it. Even if that someone is a great ph...
August 06, 2021 at 11:57
It's what you claimed. It is made in my head.That's what I understood.Not necessarily right of course.
August 05, 2021 at 23:56
You really believe this? That language gives people all the tools to express everything inside themselves?? All your actual feelings you find language...
August 05, 2021 at 23:30
You talk about what Wittgenstein meant to his work? If yes I agree. But before I asked your thoughts on that. Yes language has its limitations(huge on...
August 05, 2021 at 22:49
I would take it a little further and wonder "can't be said" or maybe we don't "dare" to say them?
August 05, 2021 at 22:26
So doesn't that mean that many things that are said about ethics arent doable at all in reality? Isn't time to start putting ethics in a base that ref...
August 05, 2021 at 22:18
I don't think that Wittgenstein meant that there is no world outside of language. I see it more as an attempt to show that human "reality" is limited ...
August 05, 2021 at 17:18
But is it right indeed? Why should we be obligated to live for anyone else except ourselves? That's totally what humans need at the end. And societies...
August 03, 2021 at 13:17
Both having kinds or not are selfish for different reasons. The only moral question here is "which form of Egoism is better at the end?". And in that ...
August 03, 2021 at 13:08
Most probably moderators think it is infinite after all.
August 03, 2021 at 13:00
And what if someone's idea is that good that he is afraid of being stolen? (I am not that someone by the way).
July 30, 2021 at 15:07
Or he simply isn't good at his job.
July 30, 2021 at 12:04
Yes more or less that's what I believe. Hmm. Sure about that? Nietszche in TSZ refers many times that Human is the bridge as to pass to the Ubermensch...
July 29, 2021 at 10:26
Oh don't worry my friend. Nietzsche was saying "I'm 1000 years ahead my time". So you have to wait muchhhh more till he fades away. And gets out of "f...
July 29, 2021 at 00:30
Unfortunately yes.And that's why even if Democracy is the "worst" best thing for societies, still isn't right. "Most people" = democracy. Logical peop...
July 28, 2021 at 23:32
I don't think we disagree on that. We think different in the way Nietzsche suggested of what individuals should do in relation to each other. But it's...
July 28, 2021 at 00:39
And let's also make clear to that point, that we can only talk about our "truth". Human truth. And what is reality according to it.So even truth is a ...
July 27, 2021 at 23:38
I I m not fan at all of that assumptions. I never say that someone deserves suffering (even if some do indeed). I agree on that one, but my aspect is ...
July 27, 2021 at 13:39
It's not a matter of right or wrong. It's just matter of taste. I have heard many people saying the same for Nietzsche as what you mentioned and I can...
July 27, 2021 at 12:58
But that's the point. Nietzsche didn't care everyone to understand him. He didn't have any heroic passion to save the world as other philosophers . He...
July 27, 2021 at 11:20
Well I doubt about that, but I get your point now. That's the thing that makes me more skeptical about. It's just potential. When you don't suffer you...
July 26, 2021 at 14:35
Wel yes. They are indeed at least for me. And when I mean selfish, as to be more specific using the term, I mean what comes out of Ego, I use selfish ...
July 25, 2021 at 13:11
I think it says all about Nietzsche's views over this virtues and how people use them. If I pity you, in fact, I don't help you at all at the end! I j...
July 25, 2021 at 12:52
Don't know if the global society will have democracy or any similar kind of it. But for sure there will be one government and no borders at all. It's ...
July 24, 2021 at 13:30
I don't say that emotionally motivated behaviour is logical. Of course not. I am just saying that if you want to give people reasons for acting kind a...
July 22, 2021 at 14:32
I will disagree on this and say that there is indeed pure logical reason acting with these virtues when you live in a society. Being kind for example ...
July 21, 2021 at 12:46
That's the whole point. The "excuses" that are given for people to follow these values are ridiculous. And make many logical people skeptical. People ...
July 20, 2021 at 21:01
Racism is in humans nature indeed. It comes from Ego. So it's "given" to people since their birth. And of course societies, in the way they are formed...
July 19, 2021 at 21:51
Knowing when and where Logic can't help you,that's Logic too! Who said that Logic is the magic pill for everything? But it is the best method at cases...
July 18, 2021 at 17:46
For me psychology and philosophy go hand by hand. The similarities, in the issues they both deal with (even in a different way), are way to much from ...
July 17, 2021 at 15:47
Nietzsche seemed to have a really weird mind as to think so out of the box. So I guess his writing must have been weird too. I don't think that he car...
July 16, 2021 at 21:04
Please don't give me the argument of Nazism for Nietzsche. It's not his fault that idiot people would take advantage of him or even misunderstood his ...
