@"Foghorn" Knowing 180 bring a dictionary,a censor for expletives/ad hom and some amphetamines to stay awake from all the repetition and boring writin...

@"Kenosha Kid" Time travel brother...

@"unenlightened" Yep! Marcus aurelias,seneca and nietzsche are not welcome here with their guru mentality. Nor plato...

@"Foghorn". Just recently I feel the younger generation of western Muslims are becoming much less political than the previous one,so that's good news....

@"Foghorn" 100% agree. But I think the media is in bed with the politicians. And this is all about big business and moneyed interests. The govt and me...

@"BitconnectCarlos" I think this is the key factor. The politicians have vested interests in the continuing conflict. The people on the ground need to...

Looking forward to this one!!!

@"Foghorn" Lol! This is you in a nutshell!!!

@"Manuel" Questions are not foundational. Life is foundational. Yours is a philosophers disease. Such,that you can't even yet fathom or understand wha...

@"Foghorn" Lol! This is comedy gold!!!

@"Manuel" Philosophers are very fond of claiming they question assumptions. Well,question the assumption Philosophers are searching for truth rather t...

@"Michael" I read many of his posts. I could understand them clearly. His style was just different. Many posters on here are vague and full of jargon....

@"3017amen" That's good to hear. Good luck. No pressure,but I'm rooting for you!

@"Olivier5" I would put it this way. Those who had doubts but reemerged to their innate confidence have overcome trauma,low self esteem. But there are...

@"Olivier5" Agreed.

@"3017amen" What has been the delay? I have been looking forward to this debate!

@"Foghorn" When language gets blurry trust one's Intuition. The only way out of this morass is the existence of divine intelligences! And the existenc...

@"Tiberiusmoon" The definitions of subjective above are both misleading for this discussion. Everything is subjective. Can you tell me anything that d...

@"Foghorn" Does it make sense to say intelligence without their being an agent?

And that is right. One can be right and still a hypocrite. The personality of the poster is Always a huge factor. Anything else is the myth of value-f...

"Society" is a euphemism for ruling class elite values. A euphemism for the regulation of humans for the purpose of creating wealth for the elite. A e...

@"Olivier5" I agree that this is true for the majority of people. Further the "freudian" psychologist alfred adler suggested people's motivations come...

@"The mad fool" I have encountered all of them in some form,and they are all incoherent as espoused by their propagators.

@"Mad fool" Neither can be doubted. And mind is not res cogitans,but is also physical and extended.

@"Jack Cummins" The "mods" will claim his posts were of "low quality" according to their "logic"... Low quality meaning they don't like confident yet ...

@"khaled" Seems to me both camps miss the nuance between living and non living. The hard problem Is the result of this false dichotomy. Ditto,the exce...

@"counterpunch" Your getting better! Your so much better when not preaching doom and gloom about the weather...

@"Jack Cummins" He struck me as a solid confident guy. The banning won't hurt him. One of the purposes of me writing this is so he can read and know h...

@"counterpunch" I think stand up would be good. But practice...

@"Jack Cummins" That is an excellent point Jack. The best philosophers have a poetic style and are mavericks and unapologetic. Anand is that!

Anand is a breathe of fresh air. An excellent poster. I didn't agree with everything he wrote. And his style was a little too samey. But the man had s...

@"counterpunch" You actually have some good jokes. I like some of em. But a lot of dross in between. Your timing is off. And your getting your kunts m...

@"skyblack" But we are talking about psychological time,so it should be personalised. We are time,are we not? Better still,time is us.

This post from @"skyblack" makes me think of the difference between media representations of conflicts and the actual "lived experience" of living in ...

@"Bartricks" I'm a little surprised by your saying that. Dostoevsky is sometimes accused of being an anti-rationalist. Or maybe he is just showing the...

@"180 Proof" "Folk psychology" AKA common sense is superior to academic studies in the main simply because science and philosophy reduce humans to mat...

@"Tom Storm" I don't really class any writings as being necessarily about learning but about expressions of truth,or somewhat near accurate expression...

@"Kenosha Kid" Science and philosophy in academia are entirely mythos. Entirely models. Modern myths. The novelist presents narratives of lived experi...

@"counterpunch" I doubt you have questions. More like your a crusader for the myth of sustainability,with a penchant for clichéd humour.

@"counterpunch" From my personal experience of philosophical folk. Also,from the texts and life's of Nietzeche,plato,Wittgenstein,aristotle,Kent,hegel...

@"Joshs" But the exact same applies to philosophical texts. All are the worldview of the writer. I read a novel whilst allowing for the worldview,and ...

@"Jack Cummins" An exceptional insight Jack. Although interior monologues are a great source of insight as well,of which the novelist and poet are far...

@"Joshs" I do agree that novelists express their own psychological understandings onto characters,why wouldn't they?! It's their "novel" understanding...

@"Bartricks" Dostoevskys underground man part one is one of the greatest ever expositions on the free will debate. So much better and richer than the ...

@"counterpunch" Excessive reflection is a sign of low self esteem. And the title philosopher often used to bolster prestige,an appeal to authority.

@"180 Proof" Moonlighting as some absurdist sage with a baroque posting style full of zappa,kafka,camus,et Al. Certain in his uncertainty!!! Dogmatic ...

@"Mww" Spoken like a true Elitist!

@"Manuel" Is pain just a word?

@"Jack Cummins" @"skyblack" has loosely identified that its the approach of questioning everything that i find bogus. It's as if a philosopher thinks ...

@"Tom Storm" Quantum mechanics is a model,which has 57 interpretations,and a model which scientists don't understand. Just another theory. It's implic...
