Necomer to this promising, laidback-ish looking thread. Scrolled a bit for that essay but didn't find it, can someone please repost it or the link to ...

Practical Reason is a very good one.

How is the Dunning–Kruger effect tied to persons leisurely discussing some lighter Philosophy? Remember my ”not stupid” in the heading. Only a stupid ...

something like that. And the more notable pro philosophers do in no way refrain from that. The philosophy history of Russel is great and amusing readi...

Another Idea is that people stay in the Bourdieuan habitat where they know the rules of that playfield and work with what they do best. An idea proven...

Pinker was just an example. Read Enlightenment now. Just any kind of books not written for academy or wannabe academy. I’ve read throug stuff like S u...

Question 1: If there is such a thing as a "soul," where did it come from? Did God or any other diety create it? Guess evolution Question 2: If there i...

Italian is the best language I’ve stumbled on so far, stringent, clear in pronounciation and well sounds pretty nice too. Like it more than French or ...

We get saturated in English from early age. Few things are dubbed except toddler tv programs. And we think american sounds kinda cool so yes we probab...

English only?

At least, some channels claim to have neutral ambitions. Like our public media. It isn´t, in my opinion, bad at all. BBC, like. Unherd is another. I h...

Understanding something includes knowing when to take shortcuts. That AI example, ”a good chunk” of code (say a complex regexp) can be handed over to ...

Just throwing in a few things, like my 25c’s: - Laws of physics seem to be pretty universal. Reliable and boring. They seem to sum up all the stuff ab...

And people, groups, nations, world haggle with that.

Rather a man who puts on an image of being right. Or at least, talking right.
April 03, 2022 at 11:05
Good question. Probably somewhere in the reigion of un-happyness and in the region of meaning. Maslow territory.
