Interesting take on it. I'm very much with Terrapin in that it's first of all a disinterested approach about what's the case regarding morality, ontol...

Nice analysis. :ok:

But I've shown the problems with such usage. It fails to work or adequately explain any incongruity when the herd-morality doesn't accord with an indi...

Indeed, how would you support the claim that health and functionality are good in themselves, rather than conditionally so in accordance with our mora...

Bingo. It is odd to me how certain otherwise logical thinkers, who I shan't name, somehow end up at a different conclusion. We can add in a premise th...

Wait, how would acquiring a list of irrelevancies help? Surely, all it would really say is things like, "I judge murder to be wrong!". Forget the list...

Okay, that's an interesting spin on what you said. Is that an indirect refernce to me? Reasonable criticism is encouraged in philosophy. It doesn't de...

Wow. That's astoundingly humble. @"tim wood", @"creativesoul", @"Janus"... did you hear that?

Guys, I've just come up with a brilliant new argument. Are you ready for this? If you don't agree with my opinion, then we have nothing to talk about....

:rofl: Nietzsche, free spirit, probably didn't display OCD-like behaviour.

Maybe there should be something along the lines of a psychology, therapy, or guidance and advice section. One thing's for sure, this is hardly blether...

I like it. Kind of Nietzschean.

I didn't do anything except offer you valuable insights.

"Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it". - Marx. That was essentially my point. You either ...

Well, you could try this: dim room, lit scented candle, comfortable headphones, volume quite high, maybe close your eyes. Relax. And let go. https://m...

No. Wallowing is indulgence. Indulgence is contrary to detachment.

You don't "how?", you just do.

Detachment. That's what I say. It's liberating.

@"S"@"Wallows" :snicker:

Wallow, wallow. Spit or swallow?

10. Fuck it.

Okay, I will. I will say this, and only this, and then I will remain silent until I judge the situation differently: here is a spoonful of your own me...

Some people. :shade:

Of course, he says! Yet he fails the challenge. No, that in itself is not meaningful ethically unless you associate that with being bad, which brings ...

Indeed, you've made your attitude clear. And I have made my feelings on the matter clear also. This too is a serious ethical disagreement between us. ...

Here's one potential difference you could feed back to me, that is, if you genuinely do want to engage, and are done ignoring me: You give me the impr...

Hammers don't have eyes. Have you been drinking?

Sure, I'd be up for a drunken vacation from reality with you. Where are you taking us? I hear there's a good place this time of year just outside of m...

Nothing about the rules for what was required for either leave or remain to win the referendum was inconsistent with the political system of the Unite...

:roll:

Yep. Here's one definition I found from Google: "a well-meaning but unrealistic or interfering philanthropist or reformer". I don't think there's much...

Definitely those three, and others. Curiosity, passion, intelligence, critical by nature, assertiveness.

Exasperation, loss of interest, dispute with staff, spending so much time here that it becomes a problem in your life. I think that covers the main re...

But that doesn't seem to take into account what I've actually said at all. I never said that I'm not responsible. I think I've been clear enough that ...

You don't have to throw yourself into debate, but I think that it's important to keep in mind what's relevant to the topic and what doesn't really nee...

And how do you justify the leap from what seems to be nothing other than a personal judgement, to something more than that? It very much seems to me l...

That's a good example of a needlessly convoluted answer to a simple question. I say yes, like most of us, and then some of us argue over interpretatio...

Not really, because of the relativism. One can of course be wrong in the relative sense. In practice, it most certainly doesn't work as though we're i...

Him and Ranky are extremely hard to pin down. It's like they have an automatic shutdown when things get too tough.

:lol: I know the feeling. :meh:

Well, it is by my morality, Mr. Lawyer. Intentions and self-control matter as factors to consider when reaching a moral judgement, and when I consumed...

MPs reject all Brexit options again Lol?

Ah sweet. You made a thread about me. Perhaps I won't murder you after all.

The funny thing is, I don't know whether I really am a closet sociopath either. But as soon as I get permission to murder you, I promise I'll seek the...

Woh. Wait. You just said "belief". On its own. You didn't do the annoying forward slash thing. That's a sign of progress. You too. I hope you deal wit...

You're a crackpot, but I love you? Let's hug it out? Am I a decent human being if I tell you comforting things you want to hear, in addition to the ha...

By being principled enough to tell it like it is?

A little off topic, but yes! If I was a crackpot, I would most certainly want people to do more or less whatever it takes to breakthrough to me that I...

@"Terrapin Station", @"Janus", @"Isaac", @"DingoJones", @"ChrisH", @"Edward" Any of you know what "argument" @"creativesoul" is referring to? No, me n...

Jesus H Christ. You are really bad at writing. Just say that I misrepresented you. Crackpot alert!
