I was once misdiagnosed with asthma. I now think that it was more likely a panic attack, although I'm not an expert. Also, turns out I'm an owl. I don...
Yes, I think so. The rest of what you say in the reply partly quoted above is much less controversial and disagreeable. I am similarly sceptical - who...
But you've changed your tune quite a bit now. Urging caution is quite different from the inflammatory language you used at first. Compare "All doctors...
I followed the link, and I don't see where it supposedly shows that one of the "best" doctors, or that those at the very top, or even that any doctors...
It would be if it was a deductive argument. Of course. As it's you, I'd expect you to judge them. Just don't expect me to believe your little anecdote...
I have actually. Several times now I have referred to the dictionary definition and specifically to various other statements of yours, and I explained...
Clearly you're going to carry on insisting that that's what you've said all along, even though you evidently have not. That means that you're being un...
That's funny. It was actually Lone Wolf who provided that definition, and it came from a dictionary. It isn't "wrong". I find it acceptable, and I don...
No, not at all. I don't really care about agnosticism. Define it how you like. The focus here is on atheism. Primarily, I self-identify as an atheist....
Yes, I suppose it might seem that way to someone less perceptive, but that's their problem, not mine. You're basically just echoing my own point back ...
No, you haven't been saying that all along. The evidence is right here in this discussion for anyone to see. I'll charitably grant that that might be ...
Average in East Beleriand, Middle Earth, in the First Age. Ah yes, my apologies, I remember now. I denied it by saying "Yes... that's what I was telli...
Pedantry. I meant the typical or average person. I don't think it necessary to go into specifics. No, they're circular definitions. An atheist, as I t...
Oh gosh, you've caught me out. How quick you are. And there was I thinking that'd I'd done that intentionally for comedic effect. A bit of the old Bri...
More like a pup. A lone pup, surrounded by other lone pups, feebly crawling around and bumping into things, whilst an owl looks down on them, perched ...
Half-kidding. I was pointing out the mismatch between: 1. All men are fools 2. All fools are men & 1. All humans kill for sport. 2. Only humans kill f...
Well, I could try to explain it to you, but an inferior being such as yourself couldn't possibly understand. No, atheism in general is a rejection of ...
Congratulations. You've passed the test. X-) Well, if you look at the table, you should be able to see that the latter is simply not there. You could ...
That you and I exist is proof that a superior being does exist. (I am that superior being). No, not atheism, atheism of the strongest sort. Just as th...
Yes, I know. Yes, but they are just unknown possibilities, so why should I care? The opposite could be true for all we know. We must decide based on t...
What makes something beautiful is a bit of a mystery, but that beauty is in the eye of the beholder is not the right answer - that's just a related in...
No, it does not explicitly state that, and it does not logically follow that women can't be fools. Look again. It states that all fools are men, from ...
Your opening post reminds me of the Emperor's new clothes. Ordinary clothes are relatively weak, so what we need is some powerful new clothes which do...
I did reply. I dispute that statement 2 is about all men, and I've been consistent in that regard. It's about all fools, not all men. You're taking ad...
I get that to some extent, but when it comes to secondary literature, some is more impartial and some is less so. Some books approach it with an angle...
I disagree with that part about having to read a majority of a work before considering it significant. What do you think my motive is for continuing t...
Your opinion isn't worth that much to me. It's not a competition, and I don't need to prove myself to you or to anyone. Think what you want. I know wh...
Yes, that's not so absurd. I've never read the Bible either, yet funnily enough I know quite a bit about it. I've attempted it a couple of times from ...
You know, 4 was the name of my first child. My other first child, that is. My first first child wasn't too pleased about my other first child. They ne...
Yes, that's chapter 7: commodity fetishism and ideology. And I think that that's probably covered by the chapter on value. It's coming back to me a bi...
Yeah, the book I referred to probably makes it a lot easier to grasp the ideas. Each chapter is based on them: commodity, the exchange of commodities,...
A book of such significance, but I have yet to go anywhere near it directly, and have decided instead to approach it indirectly through secondary lite...
For me, it'd have to be below Gay Science, Beyond Good and Evil, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. They're the top three. Oh, and Human, All Too Human - how...
Oh, is he now? Saving the US economy? I haven't really been following. Interesting. How exactly? By implementing the plan that would add trillions of ...
Right. He's a knight in shining armour, and he's on a noble quest to eradicate fake news by producing so much of it that it'll make your head spin. An...
