:smile: You should try looking up his field of study in college.

You must not have taken a formal course in marketing to say this. The theory of marketing says exactly that advertising is to persuade or convince the...

No, I have not partaken in cottage cheese laden lasagna. Neither do I assume. I eat cottage cheese and I eat ricotta. I have made baked ziti and baked...

Hmmmm.

They would only be embarrassed if we were correct. But they are not embarrassed, therefore, we are not correct in thinking that the cottage cheese is ...

Will you just shut up about this literal translation of everything that's being discussed here? Obviously, fulfillment in living arrangement includes ...

The duration of time that it took you to respond to my post coincided with the beating of my pulse, in seconds.

Therefore, time exists.

Yeah, let's tackle this. Please provide some passages.

No. Ricotta has the creaminess without sweetness. And texture is the right texture for ricotta.

lol. :smile: Okay, sorry if you misunderstood my comment. I meant, as opposed to homelessness or at the mercy of whoever has an available couch. Renti...

It's good when one has an idea of what morality is. But I notice that, there is much less in the way of explaining the reason for contrasting the prac...

What did Tolstoy mean by "nature"?

No different than the philosophical significance of a tangible object that occupies space. Silence is not special in any way among the perceived objec...

Rapid transit if I'm traveling from one city to another or from one long distance region to another. Example, the Bart, in the Bay area. Otherwise, pl...

Please provide the lines from the paper. Maybe I missed it.

No. The paper doesn't suggest that we can't trust science. Or the scientific method. If you pay attention to the bottom-up and top-down (theory) influ...

Good OP. Yes, I recognize it when I look at the social media. But I stay within the circle of reality in my own little world. I observe other things h...

I'm gonna chime in and say, it seems like a lot of more people nowadays are simply dissatisfied with work itself. Just the idea of 'work' makes them l...

This caught my attention, besides the OP's really good point. This, to me, is the 'insight', which only human consciousness and intelligence can posse...

I'm just glad he was caught with no further incident. Thank the people at the fast food for reporting to the authority. The shooter spiraled down to n...

I don't lose sleep over events like this. But that's sarcasm to say it. In fact, the shooter and his supporters do not understand what causes the heal...

Yes. Possession of confidential information could endanger one's life. If you're out of the loop, it is often better as you have no responsibility to ...

True.

Jesus! Be careful. I hope you're feeling better.

:grimace: It does not look disgusting. That's authentic. But not sure about street hustler.

This is an ethics question. The obligation to inform the community. Not all information fall into the category of culpability. So, the question should...

I'm gonna be the devil's advocate here and side with you. To me, the psychological crisis that people have talked about -- and I think all philosopher...

Since the precursor of Christianity was Stoicism, it is not surprising that the element of the divine powers or the Cosmos is embedded in the Christia...

I just reiterated what was in the text. How could you have missed that, too? That's what I was saying. This is crazy when you're agreeing with me, but...

Yup. We are in the age of misinformation. When the whole society is focused on number of views or clicks, that's what we get.

All the food posted here look delicious! While your meal looks good, I don't use tilapia fillet. They're lacking the umami which a whole fish possesse...

Well, Amity, you have shown time and again how skillfully you've handled even this below: This is from the thread you referenced. You had an exchange ...

Yes, I see your point about refined. Sometimes, I could be brash. Participate? As in submit an entry? No way. I've already graded my work -- I got 2 o...

There is, indeed, a big difference between the ancient times and today when it comes to the bombardment of our life with social media. So, you try to ...

Who said something about tactless critique?

The commenters can still be highly critical of the works they are reading. I, for one, feel it's my job to read the story and say something important....

Again, misreading. Please follow their argument to the fullest. It is easy to get lost with two paragraphs almost repeating themselves line by line. S...

Correct. The world wouldn't disappear if we disappeared. Here we can also bring in Wittgenstein. The the limit of the world would be disabled as well.

It's a misreading. Kant is not saying here that space and time vanish as soon as the subject vanishes. Look again. "space and time exist only in the s...

It just now caught my attention that there seems to be a pervasive agreement among thinkers in this forum that the way the world reaches our conscious...

Apologies. I thought you were one. Fair enough. In so far as the use of language influences the way we see the world, then yes, the mind plays a role ...

It's a trick question in philosophy. Wittgenstein talking about the world and the subject. W stepping outside to talk about the subject. If what's he'...

The intelligence of a collective group or population can change. This has been discovered by historians. Reading comprehension, depth in understanding...

I'm not sure about this. Blueberries are great eaten fresh or in pies. Purple yams are also great in itself or made into dessert.

:grin:

Have you studied behavioral economics? The power of the consumers lies in their decision to spend and where. And that affects what products and servic...

Those are the monks. There are people who practice this way of living.

I'm not sure where you got that definition. I haven't looked up the fitting definition for this purpose. But it certainly isn't what you define as phy...

Wow!
