On my map, there are a bunch of little states in the northeast so small the names don't fit in the state, so I'm not really sure what's Connecticut, M...
Thank you. I was instrumental to their success, but few have offered me the thanks I would have expected. I watched a couple of the National League Ch...
I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of metaphysical pragmatism where you posit the existence of something because a belief in that thing might make y...
You are drawing a distinction between anthropomorphic gods and non-physical gods and perfect gods and flawed gods, but you are not drawing a distincti...
To those concerned with being banned, I do want you to know that, barring some extreme behavior, it's usually a process where you receive a PM and the...
We know then that reality is unimpacted by the observer. Do we know whether the observer is impacted by reality? Are reality and observations parallel...
That's only because you've defined religion as a worldview and we all have worldviews. I don't see the terms as synonymous. To say someone is deeply r...
You guys use the term "religion" as if describes this single monolithic entity, as if Talmudic analysis is at all like Taoism. The same can be said of...
The thought experiment asks whether there are a priori needs, desires, and knowledge. It's a scientific question really. I don't think that human soci...
Wiki defines emotional intelligence as "Emotional intelligence (EI) is most often defined as the ability to perceive, use, understand, manage, and han...
I like the original ones that melt in your mouth, not the kind with fillings, but I can't eat more than one. They are so sweet they actually give me a...
Speaking of food, my favorite food is "Wahoo!" food. At Kroger, if there's some meat or vegetable that's about to go bad, they put a "Wahoo!" sticker ...
I used to hate beets. My father would eat borscht and put a spoonful of sour cream in it that would sort of float around undissolved. It was a nasty o...
It's part of the psychopathic aesthetic movement where pain is so beautifully described it transports the reader into a profound state of orgasmic eup...
You can organize the study of philosophy either by philosopher or by topic, which I assume you mean the former is a study in the history of philosophy...
The analogy doesn't hold. There's no debate over how to get to Waffle House and it's not a question that has stumped us for ages. If, however, the que...
The question is whether philosophical thought is advanced by increased rigor, which would require one be intimately familiar with the underlying issue...
Whether I can itemize the criteria, I don't know, but clearly there are journalistic standards that one must adhere to in order to be published. Your ...
Except here you're wrong, which means you've engaged in bad philosophy and you've failed to pay attention. If we can't decipher our mistakes, we have ...
If I were a psychopath (if, not when), my signature would be to put their severed head in their hand and aim it at the Netflix screen so it could bing...
I had a pet sardine. He didn't mind tight quarters, so he was a great pet in my 2' x 2' flat. My 3 roommates got tired of taking him for walks when I ...
Sounds like the Oliver Twist gruel I used to enjoy with my coal smut covered mother at the asylum every Christmas. Just creating me some more quotable...
Before I eat my pets, I stare at them and consume their sadness as they intuit their demise. I just wanted to have a quote more psychopathic sounding ...
I've got no shade to throw your way, but I can say that your admission in this thread to your limited exposure to academic philosophy didn't come as a...
You overstate the subjectivity of academia (which could be alleged in any field except perhaps the hard sciences). I'd suspect that by and large (admi...
I read what you said to be that you made a half assed effort, gathered minimal gains, then quit fully trying, and then declared your approach as valid...
The white evangelicals disproportionately are composed of the white underclass and tend to be less educated and worldly They are more susceptible to m...
IWhat you describe is not what most define as philosophy. It's sort of this Zen state of understanding and harmony you're trying to achieve as far as ...
We'd get eaten up with the administrative fees setting up each person's hour and then there'd be the fight over fuel, maintenance, and repairs. It mig...
The more humane way of tanning leather is to soften the skin on the live animal by hammering the shit out of it and then soaking it in the chromium sa...
I think we should have a Zoom conference one day. We could put faces with names and such. Might be interesting. We wouldn't need an agenda, but we cou...
