I found the Nietzsche questions easy to identify, but too extreme for me to give an answer which would place him higher up in my results.

/uploads/resized/files/d8/bufopw4r214xud4c.jpg 100% Hume, 0% Plato. :D Pretty crazy to get a high score on Nietzsche, in my opinion. And some of the P...

Right.

Oh yes, exactly. But it's not just college kids. There are video debates involving him and other professionals or apparent authorities, like this one ...

I'm generally not, but I see some issues, like those with which Jordan Peterson is most associated with, as being characterised as a conflict between ...

Yeah, that was funny.

Yeah yeah, I googled "Maclean's" too late, although at least I've spelt it correctly. I should have googled it first, but it does look to me like a bl...

Is it? In hindsight, I would call that into question. A skewed and uncharitable blog post, full of cheap shots, childish name calling, selective quote...

Well, no, I don't know that because I've never heard him claim anything of the sort, and until you brought it up just now, I've never seen anyone attr...

Ha, what a coincidence. I just discovered Jordan Peterson earlier today on YouTube, independent of your bringing him up here. Will have to check that ...

Although I can relate to your stance to some extent, given that I am against anti-natalism and some kinds of nihilism - and yes, I endorse and encoura...

Discovered Jordan Peterson on YouTube. The guy talks some sense and in my assessment generally comes across as more reasonable than the people engagin...

Wipe it off? Anyway, she took photos of it and shared them with a news agency, which got him fired. That sounds like doing something about it to me.

For starters, I don't "choose" to believe. That in itself is controversial and open to debate. Belief isn't a matter of choice, in my view. Anyway, se...

Wow. You're quick to make assumptions about me. But I'm not going to waste my time correcting them, so I'll leave you to it. Have fun.

That has been my position from the start, so that last little dig says more about you than me.

Do you see that this is the whole problem, right here? I don't strictly adhere to that definition. I find a broader meaning more conducive. It's as si...

Please refer yourself to someone who cares. I'm done.

Your objection is invalid because you quoted me out of context. So where is the alleged straw man you refer to? You left out the question mark. That's...

It wasn't meant as a boast. You're the one that raised the issue. I was responding to it and providing some context. Been there, done that, this is my...

I think Agustino is from Kazakhstan, but wishes he was from 'Merica.

On the contrary, if anyone is coming across as picky, I'd say that it's you. You want me to rigidly adhere to this one particular meaning of "belief" ...

I'm speaking from a position of experience and consideration of such matters. Together with the old forum, I've clocked up about eight years and over ...

No, it is outlandish, because that it is used in one particular way does not mean that it isn't or can't be used in other more acceptable ways. It's n...

Sounds like you could be faulty. Have you tried taking yourself back to the shop and asking for an exchange? I think humans are still in production.

Not everyone can stomach it.

No! Bad Michael. You no encourage Hanover. Agustino say promiscuity bad. You marry Hanover first!

No, you should work for the IBS instead, as things run smoother.

And then eat it.

Then there's nothing to worry about. Next!

Okay, Mr. Flamey. I am sorry if my laughter has provoked such a reaction from you, but that is my genuine reaction to anyone going to such lengths. I ...

>:O

Disclaimer: I haven't read this entire discussion, and I have no intention of doing so, but I made a comment about it elsewhere that received a reply,...

Let's look at some of Mr. Trump's words and actions in the course of his presidency: He characterised Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals. He ...

Oh, stop with the apologism. He's outraged at those who do not stand for the national anthem, yet he fucks off and plays golf on such an important day...

You're joking, right?

Poker's better.

That discussion by the guy who believes that belief ought to be abolished was pretty funny.

Yes. I went to Marrakesh and Essaouira. Was pretty good.

So, you've already made your mind up, and you're going to dismiss any answer given which differs from your own? You appear to have already set the sta...

I don't know about this relief theory of humour. When mummy used to play peekaboo with me, I would never laugh at mummy's face out of relief, but beca...

Thanks to no one, and thanks to nothing. Nothingness, emptiness, despair, desperation, destruction and a happy new year.

We are human. That's what we are. I thought that we had that sorted for some time.

Yes, in a sense. I don't know whether it was said in sincerity or not, and that doesn't really matter. But I do know that as a French existentialist p...

No. There are other metaphysical problems, whether they all lead back to it or not. Whether they all lead back to it or not is doubtful. And, in my vi...

Rhetoric: language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect, but which is often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content.

Meanwhile, closer to home... *shakes head*

Some more reading is a fine recommendation. But no, it never suffices to read only a few critical reviews. Do you want me to end up biased against him...

No, it looks more like it has escaped you than that it has escaped Krauss. In what you quoted, it is clear that he is taking into account the laws of ...

I haven't read the book, so I was judging this based on your what I've seen from you. If Krauss talks about what the laws of physics tell us, and Albe...
