Ah, sounds like you must be having a blonde moment. Any thoughts on the question i asked above?

You will remember but so others don't misunderstand, the "chicken shit" joke can be seen here

I see you still been dealing with "chicken shit", but perhaps you enjoy it. :-) In this context, 'leisure' (without unpacking the word's faceted meani...

When the deepest passion has been betrayed you are now left with nothing.

Addendum to OP: Just like the initial thread (linked in op) can't be thoroughly understood unless opened, likewise this thread (the critique) cannot b...

The linked thread, especially the last para, will clear your objection.

Since folks are a bit spooked perhaps a clarification is needed. We find nowadays a mass of people whose whole manner of life shows they no longer hav...

One can't let go of something one doesn't have.

@"Hanover" For the record, i am also pinging you.

It is impossible to act rightly; the invention of this right is ever hopeless agony and evasion of what-is. One can only act truthfully. There is no e...

On second thoughts a clarification seems to be necessary for the above.There is a chance of it being misunderstood. The 'you' in the post should be re...

Your thoughts, or your opinions, are of no concern to me. As to "soliciting"....thanks for the chuckle. Let me direct you to my relatively older post ...

My best action is determined by me, not you. I doubt you have a clear understanding of what is best for you and what isn't, let alone someone else.. H...

I base my responses (to you) on the history of your conduct, with me as well as with others. I base it on observations.

That bait may work on amateurs, but people better than you have tired to glean from me.So far they have been unsuccessful. An absence of deception, is...

During my initial days in this forum, when you had come to me with your baits, i had told you, it is not my job to educate you or anyone else.Nothing ...

In my previous post I was simply making of note of what true pessimism postulates.Not arguing about its benefits or shortcomings. Nor giving any advic...

Since Op has titled this thread as "pessimism's ultimate insight" ,yet, only focuses on Schop's thoughts about boredom i think maybe a short note on p...

The question came up because of what you said. There was no intent to make you work. Thanks.

;-)

If my last post to you was uncalled for, hopefully you will attribute it to my uncertainty of our very first interaction, and take into account the hi...

What does he mean by "gives up tracing"? He says it in the 2nd line of your quote.

Thanks. I will be coming back to this . What are his ideas of great art?

Now run along. Kindergarten is right there--------->

The original question to ( OUR Schopenhauer) also included a request for verbatim quotes. If i feel the need to interpret his words, i can do it mysel...

The question.....was asking about Schopenhauer's views on the aesthetic experience. It was also asking, how does he distinguish between an aesthetic e...

Seems like the forum is replete with users who now want black as their profile color. There were none when I used it. *cough*. Interesting to note. Pe...

nuf said/proved. carry on.

Your hands are shaking (seen from the way you are quoting above), central committee sock/stooge. But hey, if that belief helps you feel better, go for...

This one is kool as kool-aid. Not sure about you though. From the "emotions" you have displayed, it seems as if you are enjoying being the joke huh. G...

There is an open offer on the table with couple of options, for anyone that wishes to test this further and would like to take me up on it. Until then...

Regarding baiting: Yours truly plays the game at his whim and wish, because his buttons/emotions cannot be pushed (at least not this easily), as can b...

If that makes you feel better, carry on.

Great work editors! :up:

I am at a loss of words for whoever inserted/edited that false attribution...... except to......bwahaha

Since you have been able to attribute something to me that i have never said (not even typed once), a phrase i have never known to use and can be veri...

Glad you had that insight about yourself. Always happy to help. Don't hesitate to go over the evidence given to you.

If you are so wrapped up in your “X’s” and “Y’s” like the rest of the educated idiots, oblivious to facts (our own bodies and how our emotions functio...

One does not need "distinctions", bookish idiocy, or word play to see obvious facts. The fact being pointed out, emotions are not under your control. ...

See the response above.

There is no one in this forum that can claim they are the body. IN order to make that claim they will have to show their absolute ownership/control of...

Don't be silly. Come back and talk to me when you are able to demonstrate control over the body's autonomous processes. Until then feel free to live u...

No you are not. If you were, these processes would be under your control. They won't be "autonomous".

Nonsense. You have no choice in autonomous bodily actions/reactions. Your body doesn't depend on your word games.

Emotions are involuntary since they are under the jurisdiction of biology. I had said so, and perhaps proved here . By the time the psyche is aware of...

In general, all one can ever be certain of is , I AM.

That idiot had it backwards and the effects of his idiocy continues till today. I AM, therefore i think. I AM is antecedent to everything and to every...

Sounds like @"180 Proof" has patched the imaginary "hole". :up: Without getting too much into it, reason points us to couple of facts: Either we are a...

If one can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.

To OP: Course a deeper investigation into ethics has to eventually get into other facets such as the non-ethical, the half-ethical, the infra-ethical,...
