Meh. Ethical actions tend to betray rationality more often then not, I'd think.

Er, is what odd? Sorry, I just didn't know which part of what I said you were referring to.

If good is not known to be a universal, then how one acts "good" is relegated to subjective standards, which kind of defeats the point of making a lis...

Well in any case, it would seem that "how" needs a "what". (i.e What is the plan, how are we going to execute it). Unless good and evil is universal a...

How can you lift an arm without knowing what an arm is?

I'll be honest, I haven't a clue about what you just said. Care to tone it down?

Yeah pretty much.

Well in the event where your opponent is being deliberately dense, I think it would be called an appeal to ignorance.

At least not yet! I'm kidding Mr. GMBA; I'd have to agree.

A portion of grant money does go to basic sciences and the exploration of "science" in it's more pure form, but yeah, they have a tendency to reinvest...

Order! Order! I know; don't worry Mr./Ms GMBA, It was actually a pretty good joke. I was just playing hard ball. Or maybe I was just being hard boiled...

A literary knock out. I'll come back to digest it more thoroughly when I'm sober, but jeez man. What a piece. What a work.

In the instance where you relegate your opponent to only two choices, that would be considered a logical fallacy called a loaded question. It's not ne...

Damn. That is strangely similar, except for the stillborn part. I think there's some native american mythology around corn, but I'm not entirely sure....

:yawn:

It's also 4 am in the morning, and I've had 7 glasses of red wine. Edit: ok, maybe a little bit more than 7.

:up:

Mind is only nonmind dependent insofar as we don't know what mind is. However, it is intriguingly becoming more and more plausible that the essence of...

Blessed by the encounter! the encounter blesses you in some way or another, for a fit of satisfying ecstasy somewhere down the road. At least that's t...

Just a matter of perspective. I guess Blessed, "once you arrive on set, you're already blessed", would be a better way to put it.

Wouldn't it then just be a delayed sense of arousal? All paths lead to intimacy; once you arrive on set, you can't help it, you're already doomed.

:strong: :cool: :up:

Count me in.

Part two. I realized that the story does not need much technical explanation, because aside from the first paragraph it's fairly simple. So I'll just ...

@"Amity" @"Nils Loc" @"Baden" @"jamalrob" Hey, Thanks all for leaving some really great remarks and comments. I've been ruminating a couple days now o...

It would lack certainty, I'd say.

@"RougeAI" I have a question, I was a little stumped on the ending where he said "what does that tone mean?". I thought it alluded kind of to his incr...

Ahh I see. That's pretty interesting. Yeah you did good on that :up:

It's to imply I would assume, that the majority of people in a community feels at some time in their infancy a want to make love to their mother. Weir...

Self reflection would more mean independent reflection than ego reflection in this case. The question is rather whether we can use an individuals asse...

Hah! Interesting. While definitely we are relying more and more on psychological assessment for us to find our footing, I don't think we have reached ...

The series of visitations reminded me of a shamanic, maybe ritualistic experience that had to deal with the dream world (presumably), and I correlated...

Ahh I see. That's a pretty interesting dynamic.

Ah, so close. He was my second choice for Storage Locker.

Haha, I guess so. Well not too bad of a sacrifice, at least it wasn't apples. Or mangos. Or oranges.

I knew a guy who ate bananas for breakfast for 20 years or something like that. Apparently, his immune system is super good and he goes on marathons. ...

Damn you and your perfect argument. Everyone needs more sugar.

Wait, where's the sugar?

I took a look at his comments in other threads and compared it to the story, struck a cord with me.

I'm putting my penny on @"ucarr" for What I Found in a Storage Locker.

Not yet, but I'm like, 99.999999999% certain. If it isn't him I'll eat my socks.

"Visitations" Noble Dust "A Cross for Maria" Baden "A Christmastime Valentine's Day Love Story" Hanover "The Christmas That Was Not" god must be athei...

Holy smokes. That's pretty impressive.

Mm. Man, I can''t wait till questionnaires start. I have like a bajillion questions.

Thank you :wink: Oh that was Baden?! Wow, he totally eluded me.

I had the same impression. The subway scare and her talking to her boyfriend was eerily realistic.

Really!? Who was it?

Has a Cross for Maria been guessed yet?

Thanks, I hope next time maybe we'll see a story from you. Honestly, I think it would be a super cool read. No pressure :up: Hahaha, I'll take it.

ALRIGHT. I'll spill the beans. Mine was Oscar and the Coconut.
