Would you enjoy having bar tricks as one of your teachers?
November 15, 2022 at 10:30
I disagree, as any pacts or groupings based on common cause would be terminated at every new election. No establishment of governmental groups such as...

The interesting thing for me regarding the idea of the 'first philosopher,' is, would Thales have recognised himself as such? Would he have produced a...

Can I steal this and post it on the antinatalist thread? Just as some examples of 'current humans' trying to alleviate current and future human suffer...
