Do you know what the word "about" means?!

What you are saying is extremely elementary and boring. Try to say something worth responding to. You want this?

Again, no idea what you are referring to by "slopped on a canvas considered art." Can you give an example?

Art is about a human's personal experience.

I don't even understand the question.

Sure. The objective/subjective dichotomy is meaningless. If there were no subjects no art would exist because no humans would exist. So, humans make o...

4th graders solved the problem of the nature of language? Is this your position?!

By you. I see no argument for that.

silly

Yes, exactly. That is what I was referring to.

I don't remember their names anymore. But it was a group which W. was attending and told them he did not agree with them.

And Wittgenstein rejected those who thought they were following his agenda.

The positivists made everyone dumber. If you want to do science, do science.

I do not think we disagree.

I don't know if philosophers today would agree with Hegel. Especially the science based ones.

I know what it is.

Agree.

Worries about zombies is a vestige of the Christian idea of a soul.

I think Aristotle says courage is what makes the other virtues enacted. Knowing the mean is not the same as acting on it.

What are those questions?

Best statement on the topic of progress in philosophy: " philosophy is its own time comprehended in thoughts." (Philosophy of Right, Hegel, preface). ...

Bohr and Heisenberg actually wrote legitimate philosophy. Not just reflections.

Retrieve what?

Most philosophy departments offer classes in ancient Greek philosophy. I think the idea of progress is an idea coming from science and does not have m...

Philosophy is very different from science. In science people do not talk about past science. In philosophy, people still talk about Plato and Aristotl...

Then all of everyone's life is "subjective."

That is how a sociopath answers. Morals are norms, shared customs.

That is what I think. Thinking can take place without consciousness. Why I think wondering about sentient AI is beside the point.

What morality are you referring to that depends on God? Does one need God to not kill, steal, or lie? Isn't not harming others pretty straightforward ...

Why do you need God in order to act morally?

What art do you like?

First, I am an artist who knows a lot of art history. So, I am interested in what art you do like, which seems to be 19th century art. And please expl...

Joe Biden is President. Nothing controversial.

How has art declined in the past century? Can you give some examples?

Very interesting and insightful.

Good advice, you should practice it.

If you don't quote my text, and respond a week later, it is impossible to know what you are referring to.

Good to know, thank you.

Count me in as not going down without a fight.

So, Biden wants Trump to destroy it? I hope that is not his strategy.

Trump organized a violent coup. AG Garland refuses to indict Trump. Hell yes I am worried.

I am confused as to why Biden allows Trump to subvert our democracy.

Thomas is the Trump of the Supreme Court.

Why are you interested in dialectic? The point is, why not follow up on where you read about it.

Yes.

Yes, the US is basically an oligarchy. Biden, sadly, too scared to prosecute Trump.

Biden talked about adding member to Supreme Court (perfectly constitutional) but dropped the issue. It is worth considering if nine people are enough ...

This type of corruption is decried by US citizens in both parties. Sadly, the US Supreme Court call this kind of bribery, "free speech."

Complicated. But the filibuster allows a minority in Senate to prevent discussion. There are ways around it but the Democrats have allowed the GOP to ...

Good folk as well. I use these ideas as a philosopher (and artist).
