Skalidris seems to be saying that consciousness, in the form of subjectivity, holds insuperable. If so, then no objective perception of consciousness ...

I think your point above makes an important clarification: there's something about the native point of view of the sentient that obstructs, so far, ou...

My title is my guide: Art Lies Beyond Morality. This is my premise, and I see now it is related to existentialism as I understand it: blooming creatio...
October 11, 2024 at 00:29
So, you think morals and purpose entwined. That positions us inside the frame of goals. Things in themselves as such have no goals. Once a sentient ex...

Your statement makes it clear you are following. If I stretch the meaning of "inert" a bit and construe "inactive" as being "neutral-adjacent," then l...

Life is lived beyond morality in that it is more inclusive. I base this claim on the assumption that we as humans, existentially speaking, are more th...

I'll venture to surmise from your statement above we agree that art lies beyond morality, the central theme of this conversation. I think the weaponiz...

What I've underlined immediately above is my defense of your attack: Its the combination of the two parts that refutes your ascription of contradictio...

Do your answers establish a separation between art-in-itself and art-in-itself weaponized?

By my definition, Love and War both include: marriage, home, family, community. If this is true, then they can't be contradictory when defined as I've...
October 10, 2024 at 01:08
in your quote directly above, you make an approach to arranging my words into a configuration that shows it is a contradiction: "You cannot have both ...

If God consciousness is a sub-division of human psychology (the savior was fully human), then I can advance an argument claiming that what the divine ...

As I've already stated, love and war are both about marriage, home, family and community. They share a large region of common ground. They stand apart...
