I do not flatter well either. Just try being polite.

Well even someone who has never touched a woman cannot get out of the conundrum of a loaded question like "did you stop beating your wife yet?" Loaded...

, so what have you concluded is best for you yourself to do with your life then?

Fallacies are shameful. BTW you never answered whether you have stopped beating your wife? Yes or no?

I do not goad well. You had best try sweetness and sugar instead.

Exactly right ... just like Canada ... the horror !! Just like Australia ... the greater horror !! Just like New Zealand ... .

To answer your first question (if you are ...), I am a Blade Runner fan, not Star Wars. To answer your second question (when is ...), I would have to ...

HAL 9000: "Dr. Chandra, will I dream?" Dr. Chandra: "I don't know HAL."

All computers are stupid as a post. They do exactly what you tell them to.

You have jumped to a lot of conclusions without justify any of them. You would be better off to construct short sweet syllogisms and stick to that. Th...

Once again, a good dose of Stoicism might help out the situations that you described.

Reagan. You must be referring to Reagan. At least if you are American. Not sure if you are European instead.

You may want to try defining "happiness" before you take Wosret's bait and loaded question.

Yet another loaded title again. Have you stopped beating your wife? Yes or no? A good dose of Stoicism might help you get through your day.

Not only that, but telling someone to read something is a fallacy called "shifting the burden". The burden is on you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li...

For me, personally, Aquinas and Leibniz. Plato was too idealistic, and Aristotle did not do any research in the scientific sense -- he just dreamed ev...

I do love Descartes. I remember in college Philosophy 101 class that after we cruised through the ancient Greeks and then came upon Descartes that he ...

I have even reflected on all that. What we OUGHT to do in/with our lives is that which we are GOOD AT which is also in demand by someone else on this ...

I have pretty much had time to reflect upon everything, and make mental lists about them too. I cannot say that there exists anything unreflected for ...

That's not how I get things done. First I read / have read / 3 books on surveys of philosophy, to wit: - History Of Western Philosophy, by Russell - E...

Same question about loaded questions for you -- why do people load up their titles with loaded questions ?! Loaded questions are a common fallacy. Hav...

I am not sure why some people (like yourself) put loaded questions into their titles ?! I would have thought a more balanced title such as "what are t...

Bravo !! Problem solved !!

This reminds me of the movie "Castaway" with Tom Hanks stuck on his South Pacific Island and only his soccer ball to keep him company. I think I would...

You could substitute "uncertainty" for "disagreement" and come up with the same thing.

My favorite Stoic is Marcus Aurelius and I have read parts of his meditations. Anybody going into government service should read them all. But we all ...

Exactly. CS and I want to know. Then we can grill you back.

See, this Hippy talk is precisely what frustrates me about Spinoza. What is mind? We all struggle with that. So Spinoza thinks human mind is just the ...

This is sort of how I feel about Immanuel Kant. The more I read about him the more I discover about myself. For me though, definitely NOT Spinoza. I d...

Interesting looking avatar you have there. It reminds me that according to the psychology literature that everyone has a masculine and a feminine side...

Nice web page! The brain in the jar is creepy though. That used to belong to a real person. When I was young nothing creeped me out. I guess I had not...

It's funny Old Cranko how you use all sorts of tricks to shift blame back to others whom you are addressing. I am guessing you don't have a lot of fri...

It sounds like you are talking and thinking about routine torture. Torture to obtain information is a totally different matter. "Enhanced interrogatio...

Someday I'll give you all my gun safety rules too -- there are about 25 of them also.

so you're not too worried then that Trump has a mental disorder ?? He sure worries me. He worries a lot of other people too.

try Nixon then. He was definitely a psychopath.

the ancient Greeks already dealt with this issue which you have raised in deep detail, and at least in the case of the city-state they have concluded ...

Well if you think they are all begging the question (affirmation of the consequent) then they are not very good are they? First Cause is NOT begging t...

, that's a pretty good list of 20 proofs, thank you. I did not see the prime mover in that list, so adding it makes 21. Remember the ancient and Medie...

, a very thoughtful discourse and very well done. I will reply to you on behalf of the Philosophy God, since this is a Philosophy forum, and not Catho...

see supra re Protestant mysticism.

this latter post is strictly a question of Protestant mysticism and as such not really worthy of response. Mysticism is mysticism. It woos people with...

, it sounds like you have confused "atheist" with "agnostic". You should do yourself a favor and look those both up.

I forgot what kind of fallacy it is that relies on the complete refutation of an unrelated topic and then goes on to assume your own proposition is th...
