Gosh.

That might be the case. If postmodernism is presented as just skepticism, there would be no reason to have standards of truth.
June 25, 2022 at 17:20
There is nothing wrong with myth. But you cannot use myth when good explanations exist.
June 25, 2022 at 16:56
Agree, good point.
June 25, 2022 at 16:44
Plato and Christianity.
June 25, 2022 at 16:25
Sorry, I forgot to agree with everything you say.
June 25, 2022 at 16:23
So, you don't care. ok.
June 25, 2022 at 16:08
Sin is just more Christian fascism. A sadistic-masochistic concept.
June 25, 2022 at 16:03
Good analysis. This error began with Plato and institutionalized by Christianity.
June 25, 2022 at 15:57
Oh. Why do you think art is only about beauty?
June 25, 2022 at 15:53
What you do you mean by "aesthetics?"
June 25, 2022 at 15:48
Skill is just the means to make the work. But you have to know what to make.
June 24, 2022 at 23:09
Aristotle and Plato had great respect for the poets. So calling it "craft" or "art" really is not an important distinction.
June 24, 2022 at 19:41
Anyone can be a philosopher, right? "I think the world was created by God." Doesn't make you a philosopher. Equally, "I can splash paint on a canvas,"...

I said it. Why the text has my name on it.
June 24, 2022 at 07:08
The purpose of the universe is not to make humans happy. Many people do not like that.
June 24, 2022 at 06:56
Ok.
June 24, 2022 at 06:36
I am afraid, then, I do not know what you are arguing for.
June 24, 2022 at 06:27
Yes.
June 24, 2022 at 06:23
Aren't you advocating that people should not procreate? Did I miss your point?
June 24, 2022 at 06:06
No one has to live. You don't like the planet, leave. Seriously.
June 24, 2022 at 06:04
Why? Your position is more extreme.
June 24, 2022 at 06:03
Hamlet: To be or not to be. No one has to live. The idea the world is supposed to make you happy is the problem.
June 24, 2022 at 05:55
Yes. It's like trashing your car because of a flat tire.
June 24, 2022 at 05:47
Not sure what you're saying.
June 24, 2022 at 05:37
Yes, and greater complexity.
June 24, 2022 at 03:09
The universe itself is an intelligent system.
June 24, 2022 at 02:57
Key is intelligence, not consciousness. You do not need human biology to have a thinking system.
June 24, 2022 at 02:52
Everything in moderation. As true today as when Aristotle said it.
June 23, 2022 at 20:13
That is what I think, yes.
June 23, 2022 at 18:45
There are lots of messed up people who say they never use and drug or alcohol. Like Mr Trump.
June 23, 2022 at 17:45
Why is that distinction important? Especially in relation to what I said.
June 23, 2022 at 17:37
The mass originally was in Latin. They knew no one but the priest class understood latin.
June 23, 2022 at 17:35
Yet is happens.
June 23, 2022 at 15:37
The Catholic Church always appealed to an illiterate population. From beginning to today.
June 23, 2022 at 15:33
Agree.
June 23, 2022 at 14:49
don't care what banno says about anything. later.
June 23, 2022 at 14:32
wow
June 23, 2022 at 03:40
Why would a physicalist have a policy on refugees?
June 23, 2022 at 03:32
What are those first principles shared by physicalists and Jesuits?
June 23, 2022 at 03:01
Hitler's National Socialism, fascism, was popular in the lower middle class. Because they tend to be less educated and without skills for good jobs. B...

Religion is just a form of experience, or a social form
June 22, 2022 at 21:33
so why keep naming me?
June 22, 2022 at 20:59
Dumb people gravitate to Christianity.
June 22, 2022 at 20:18
The final tally is comprised by the individual votes, the delegate votes, and superdelaegates (not a joke). One of the controversies is that the super...

In the US we have primaries within the party. Sanders lost to Hillary Clinton.
June 22, 2022 at 19:38
No. Aristotle's Ethics is a long discourse on exactly how virtue is a mean between extremes.
June 22, 2022 at 17:58
He explained it quite well. He was talking about how people express faith.
June 22, 2022 at 17:51
You mean because it does not align with your religious dogma?
June 22, 2022 at 17:49
And why is that wrong?
