The mind-body problem interests me. Deleuze bases a lot on the cogito, but at the same time is critical of psychology/ psychiatry which I believe star...

The red pill is the 'read' pill. The blue pill is you blew it

It's really interesting that if you are indeed behaving coherently to normative reason and thus rationally how it is not ironic to you these discursiv...

Yes, I can disagree with a normative reason when it refers to a culturally influenced argument which is a belief about rationality. Yes cultures do ha...

I am disagreeing with your normative reason for acting which correspondingly is an argument about rationality that conforms to your culture's (I assum...

The only thing I will give you credit for in this thread is that your rigid inability to render meaning from anything that slightly defies cultural pr...

"A normative reason is a reason (for someone) to act—in T. M. Scanlon’s phrase, “a consideration that counts in favour of” someone’s acting in a certa...

I never used this combination of words.
January 07, 2023 at 02:13
Here's an interesting puzzle for anyone interested. If 'a' normative reason is rational then 'a' reason is reason, so in a prescriptive linguistic cul...

I don't really care to talk to you, you're not a civilized person.
January 06, 2023 at 23:09
Most people on the forum would agree that you talk nonsense,

Something is not incoherent because it is missing a single letter.
January 06, 2023 at 22:59
No, I don't see. You have your own ideas about it, but they seem to be mostly semantic traps rather than philosophy. Back on topic, is taking the blue...

Rationality concerns action? Possibly. It's a standard dichotomy to separate thought and action. I could argue the dichotomy, but I'll give you that. ...
January 06, 2023 at 21:27
reason to act is not in itself rational. Rational is a quality of certain reasons to act. Conventionally that is logic. But even logic is not the end ...

If normative reason is "when in Rome do as the Romans do" and that is rational then being deemed a heretic for espousing science in a catholic country...
January 06, 2023 at 02:07
Rationality can transcend normative reason. That is one of the ways 'red pill' has been interpreted, as one notorious online forum uses the term to de...
January 06, 2023 at 00:26
The contention is not about two or more equally rational actions, but when one is rational and the other is irrational as in the topical question.
January 06, 2023 at 00:19
If all rationality is reducible to normative reason then how is it possible that I have demonstrated opposing outcomes in differing forms of rationali...
January 06, 2023 at 00:12
That might be one of the many definitions of rational, but having a reason (cause) is not necessarily having reason (logic). Rational is irreducible t...
January 06, 2023 at 00:00
Depends what you mean by rational. If rational means a process of attaining true knowledge then the red pill would be rational. An analog would be ant...

As it stands the idea is just the expression of a notion. It really hasn't been challenged or developed in a rigorous way. If I had to one off a hypot...

Yes that thinking is pretty much in line. Communism is basically on the schizo side for various reasons I dont have time to explore right now but it i...
December 12, 2022 at 17:21
The idea is in the realm of schizo as it is conceptualized here, but Im not really doing anything schizo. Im at work right now, I go home, eat dinner ...
December 12, 2022 at 17:13
I'm not interested in cause. That is a modernist rational concern. The world is a certain way and I accept it. This post is not to talk about what has...
December 12, 2022 at 11:33
Yes I studied philosophy among other subjects in university. I have my own ideas about what would make university better. That you say that reminds me...
December 11, 2022 at 23:15
I maybe made the topic a little bit too complex. In hindsight I should have just wrote about Descartes Demon which is the basis for the cogito and sai...
December 11, 2022 at 23:07
I don't think anyone has any choice but to be involved in the 'fight'. Motivations are kind of hard to discern for any of the actors. In some ways I u...
December 11, 2022 at 21:33
That would be a convenient 'etiology', but it needn't be so convenient. To say that introversion and psychosis is not only opposed to, but caused by m...
December 11, 2022 at 20:50
The origins of this idea comes from a sort of preoccupation I had with being an "introvert", and the social stresses and traumas that are associated w...

Your criticism makes analogy between my humble post to schizophrenic production, but far from a criticism this is appropriate for the nature of the id...
December 11, 2022 at 12:43
That schizo is a recognized clinical condition is not a quality of the phenomenon. That is a modern development. Saying schizo is lack of rationality,...

The presented antischizophrenia is a paranoid speculation that aims to promote the shared delusion that there is a kind force of thought and action th...
December 09, 2022 at 22:34
At the time of Descartes, schizophrenia was still undefined, yet to call it antimadness would be to deny the modern conceptualization that has defined...
December 09, 2022 at 21:56
It's difficult to boil down because it represents a regime that sanctions all behavior and thought. Even in this thread the proposed AS is exercised t...
December 08, 2022 at 14:01
Reasonably concise is in the realm of oppositions of AS as it is diametrically opposed to the kind of extraneous, pressured speech that is characteris...
December 08, 2022 at 11:32
I will spend more time elaborating on this idea little by little, so for now one way of thinking about it is to think of a hyper-calvinist who hates s...

Going to bed. Good night.
December 08, 2022 at 01:30
Not just doubt, my contention is that Descartes reinvents Platonism in a new spirit. Doubt is only one aspect. Sorry if the post is not clear but I do...
December 08, 2022 at 01:29
Not surprising as it is concordant that your argument against the idea presented here is an expression of an antschizophrenic essence: incredulity/ do...
December 08, 2022 at 01:24
Religion has some schizo essences yes. Rationalization is divorced from Calvinism according to Weber. What I attempted here is not to talk about the m...

I havent actually misrepresented I just drew a comparison and you inferred I was comparing two incongruent aspects. The similarity is that both are ob...

The cognitive dissonance aspect of irony is interesting. What immediately comes to mind is Swift's A Modest Proposal, where the reader at the time wou...

So without refering to the particular Socratic irony that Hegel takes issue with as a subjective threat against objectivity: Socrates is the wisest, y...

In the previous block of text there is a proof that the expectation in irony is rational. If the expectation is rational then the consequence is irrat...
