I agree. One of the worst effects of the Neo-Liberalist shift to ever cheaper labor markets is that a huge reservoir of knowledge became suddenly unne...

The two disputes you mentioned in your other thread have been going on for years. The place became a lemonade stand where the same points were repeate...

and one does not have to be attracted to one kind of explanation over against another to notice such a change.

How do you know what the "majority" wants?

Aristotle is interesting in that regard because his pupil, Alexander, was reported to have pissed off his fellow Macedonians by adopting some Persian ...

Between the parties with actual interest in what will happen in the future.

He recognized that many men live as beasts. He also recognized that a man benefited from seeking the highest life expressed in varying representations...

Well, he was aware of the Persian empire through the long struggle with them. Alexander was out on his horse conquering it around then. The issue here...

Within the limits marked out by the Legislature. Not all contracts are equally supported by law.

It was stated as a limit for man which some did (or could) not observe:

Are you disagreeing with the statement that institutional collapse is eminent or saying that such an event will not change the course of future polity...

That is how I read the idea of not being a pilot in Meditations:

Are you saying the reason he was included in that group chat has something to do with what he has said in the past?

Indeed. That has nothing to do with the motives you assign to Goldberg.

I thought you were asking me how I knew, not what might convince others. The observation that a generational crisis is at hand comes from a life of wo...

Yes, from the reports from my friends and family, many of whom are public servants, inside and outside of the government per se.

There are two vectors. The push to have experienced people leave as soon as possible. The reduction of "probationary" employees who are typically the ...

I am human: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIHOZOZYIHs

Our civil service is being dismantled on a level that the means of transferring skills and knowledge from one generation to the next is under attack (...

Yes. I think of the cogito as what I can never get away from. Gangster stuff.

Hegel also distinguished between "natural" and "spirited" to demark what is actually human. Alexandre Kojève quotes from a helpful essay of Hegel in h...

Well, if it is as you say, the changes of present polity will have no effect upon some greater economy that will emerge in the future, Why are you so ...

Hegel seems to reenlist a lot of these terms for his own purposes.

The way they are different is not essentially about comparable states of doubt. Doubt is the product of thought. The activity of thinking is different...

There is a passage in Logic that describes that as the problem of the 'knower' determining the conditions of cognition independently of the attempts t...

I realize, belatedly, that my remark could be taken as dismissive. I have not had that particular experience. Why not? I ask myself. There certainly w...

Yes, that has caused me to think it is a parody.

So, what does the name mean to you? There are your posts about denying a "social contract".

I understand the decision to leave when suffering displaces all the good things about living. I don't understand what it means to imagine that one doe...

You repeat the same stories and when they are challenged in detail, you retreat until you can proffer them again. You support a self-described authori...

It is market research. You can't "trigger the Libs" unless you know what sets them off. Back in the heyday of Breitbart and Red State, participants wo...

How do you see this observation in the context of Land's essay?

New York City ran him out of town by stopping doing business with him. It took a bit of time because of the lawsuits and the game of playing competing...

The presumption that I seek only easy answers and have not read a lot is a low effort response on your part. So far, I have no reason to believe that ...

I was asking you to support your claims by quoting CPR.

I am familiar with those authors' participation in the conversation. Shall I take your answer to be no in regard to the text of the CPR?

Is there a place in the CPR where "experience" has a self-evident role such as you describe?

Quod Erat Demonstrandum.

I don't think it is worship. His one consistent goal has been to normalize outrageous and immoral statements and behavior. The product is not aligned ...

My proposal is that listening to people is powerful. Sanders will not be running for President again. Everybody knows that. Let me put the matter in a...

He has done it before. I don't understand your observation as a counter to mine.

The Bernie move needs to be seen in the context of the GOP being afraid to talk to the electorate that put them in office. The actions being taken by ...

I have read two of those and a portion of another. The point I was making regards standards of citation. If, for instance, you want to cite from The P...

I am not arguing for his system. I left that long ago. But I can argue what is an accurate account of it.

I sense that you do get the scope of conscience in the Protestant rejection of authority outside the voice of reason or faith. Kant advocates for a sp...

But we were talking about Kant versus Hegel and their differences. Is that not worthy of clarification?

My general impression of Hegel, as a psychologist (him, not me), is that all this stuff we think about is directly related to our experiences while be...

You are asking two questions there. And you are assuming that they are necessarily just one. So, I could pursue each one of them. But how is it my job...

I, too, am only a learner. In asking for clear references, I am not questioning your experience of a text but asking for a means to accurately share i...

Which Hegelian text are you referring to? There are at least three your description could be pointing to. How about quoting some text so that the cont...
