@"Benkei" Ho ho ho! Just a sanctimonious keyboard warrior. Champion avoidance of reality!

@"skyblack" Most folks want to confirm,they don't care about disease they just want comfort. To folks who are not conformist and who have some cultura...

@"Olivier5" This is just reductionism. Before karens it was sheep and before then idiots or whatever. No zeitgeist. Common sense observation and exper...

@"Benkei" See,your part of the problem. You only want information from certain outlets. And you neglect reports from civilians. Are ordinary people or...

@"skyblack" We have to get a little more nuanced here. We can still function in an ill society without being dependent or diseased. I think the diseas...

@"Benkei" So the subaltern can't speak. If you have been there and do talk to people,then the fact you ignore testimony renders both points moot,does ...

@"counterpunch" You couldn't resist could you!!!

@"skyblack" See,this is now quibbling over your rigid definitions. Adjustment can also mean adapting to circumstances. DO you want everyone to go mad ...

I think you can be adjusted but not conform. I think the quote would be better with conform.

Lol!

@"DingoJones" Name some "great" philosophers who weren't claiming they had discovered the secret which had eluded all others?

@"Benkei" And first hand accounts from people who live there mean nothing? Just anecdotes?

@"DingoJones" Yes. But the amount of genuine philosophers is exceedingly rare for a field that prides itself on critical thinking and "truth."

@"Benkei" See this is just playing the victim. Your ethnicity and country is not relevant to me. Your current character and whether you know any peopl...

@"Hanover" Well,I am looking forward to a good debate. Any idea on the time scale?

@"Hanover" Nah. They lie.

@"Benj96" If your not an optimistic your a pessimist. Don't hide behind the nonsense of I only asked a question. Grow a pair and own your post.

@"Hanover" They all say that mister.

@"DingoJones" Well,I don't see a difference between philosophy and philosophers. And many indeed appeal to authority. In general it is extremely rare ...

@"Fooloso4" And reading comprehension is not your thing is it.

@"T clark" And you are on the border between rebel and conformist wimp!

@"skyblack" I get you. But still much prefer person to past. It's more...personal!

@"T clark" Surely you can multitask brother?!

@"Benkei" Just disingenuous nonsense. Rumbled.

@"Fooloso4" Plato and plotinus were mystics fool! And I and others don't have faith in the mods impartiality.

@"180 Proof" You need a wife old man.

@"DingoJones" That's pretty fair comment. I'm not a fan of utilitarianism or the trolley problem as they are too contrived. Descartes cogito is correc...

@"ArguingWAristotleTiff" Cheers! But is he a theistic lizard?

@"180 Proof" Clear and succinct? Most of your posts are contrived jargon laden regurgitated hodge podges of propoganda and cliches... Irony mister.

@"praxis" Come on praxis,are you trying to get people banned?! I happen to like some of what skyblack says. He's better than most.

@"Benkei" You have any direct contact with civilians in Palestine?

@"Olivier5" But the "trouble" is not necessarily philosophical. It's just economics,karens and government interference.

Remember malthus? Remember jesus? Remember the Cold War? Remember the alleged oil crisis We? We humans are the future and extremely strong. You pessim...

@"DingoJones" No,the truth doesn't require agreement. But which philosopher has attained truth then? Especially when many are diametrically opposed. T...

@"DingoJones" I don't see how ethics is really addressed by philosophy. There is no agreement. Critical thinking is available to anyone,not the exclus...

Should be no moderator. Just suggestions in the comments thread. Mods are mainly anti religion so how is that fair? Is @"Hanover" a theist?

@"Michael" I know. But look at the comments. Nothing constructive or informative in general just hate and lack of discernment.

@"Ying" Not enough yang stalker.

@"bert1" It's too hot for you old man.

@"180 Proof" Lame shrimp.

@"Baden" Irony? These banning threads are a glorified two minutes of hate in general.

@"Ciceronianus the White" What's pretentious is your "humour" fella.

@"praxis" Jesus and moses would be the first to get banned for low quality posts. Forget the old and new testament we have streetlight and baden with ...

@"bert1" Because I'm better at it than those who worship it.

@"180 Proof" An oxymoron! Free thought in bowing to science and philosophy. You read to ruins matey! Run along. You need plenty of luck for your debat...

@"Jack Cummins" I don't think satre is a great novelist. His best writings are his essays. Interior monologues are interesting as they highlight some ...

@"unenlightened" Yep. Anand was better. And so am I. Oh,the veneration and romanticising of authority!

@"Foghorn" Lol!

@"DingoJones" At what point does one accept that one has found truth? Can you name some of those truths? Doubt as a foundation is negative,and symptom...

@"Kenosha Kid" The novelist is sneaky enough to pretend he is writing fiction and not preaching like the other two...
