:rofl:

This is painfully bad commentary but as you are Catholic, it is unsurprising.

hahaha; i've never heard this. Absolute Gold.

Unsure quite what double dredged means, so forgive my ignorance following cop out: https://therecipe.website/beer-battered-chips/

Bleeding Sun - Samuel Sagan Process and Reality - Alfred North-Whitehead.

Does anyone outside of AUS/NZ get 'beer batter' thick-cut chips(fries, but bigger)?

I do think that's fair. But can you not see that a direct attack on the Whitehouse (literally storming it, occupying political offices and stealing go...

:ok:

Yeah. But the absolute best case you can possibly make, given the facts (and let's assume Wayfarer is being naive here.. I know you do, but I don't) i...

There is no article at your link. No idea why, as it's there under the same title https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests_in_Washington,_D...

Which one? Super-unclear if you're cryptically referring to something other htan Jan 6.

No, not at all, they aren't equivalent. The BLM protests are morally worse on your account by way of resulting in more damage, more death and more net...

Hmm.. As noted, they are not analogous, but they both intended to upend institutional power systems, they both resulted from essentially conspiratoria...

This is difficult. No, they are not analogous, but the BLM protests caused MORE damage and 19 people died. (the links are the same page, but address t...

*slinks away*

Yeah, it's not great :( I want to learn!!

Not at all. It irks me a lot - But its not his circus if i say something stupid.

You did not. And no surprise. "you anti-natalists" LOL. You do not understand anti-natalism. And while I respect your position (above) your incredible...

Ive had his position explained to me, and respect it. If i've said something dumb, it must be super-challenging to address it after several years of d...

Ok, so I got back quicker than I thought - for a specific reason. I suffered DiD for several years. Kastrup's analogy is absolutely incredible to rela...

In terms of your opinion on Western Culture: Fair enough. I don't see it, but you do you Boo. In terms of 'the better way' - I can only chuckle at rep...

Fair enough. My point was more that if we counted from the Big Bang time might have some relevance beyond social time-keeping. If the year we're using...

Really enjoying this. Doesn't this pre-supposes knowledge of the Good? As best i can tell, unless you're going to employ Platonic Forms, you can't ind...

:ok: Righteous.

Ahhhhhh. This is a very, very helpful note to understand your position then. It's not edgy. But I would say I do not agree with your take on Western c...

I'm unsure I grasp entirely what you're asking... But from what i can tell, thinking in images OR words is required for meaningful cognition. What els...

haha. No. If you don't get it, far be it from me... Before I respond to this with anything substantial, please do something other than hit-and-run - W...

Euthyphro and Republic are both patently helpful in working out how to set up societies. Do we take them as wrote? No. Do we even take them generally ...

Ahh... I think this is why I see your position as the same 'edggy' position I had taken. Unfortunately for the position, Plato has already had, and co...

Can elaborate on what sense in whcih you think this is the case? cause, like.. they are the United States?

Perhaps i'm using the wrong word - well, it seems you really do not take Plato seriously, and dismiss him as 'old and out of touch'. Is that not takin...

Hmmm, I don't think this goes through. I recognize AN fails to address current suffering, but it's not intended to. Anti-natalists in my experience ha...

Awesome, thank you! Getting it to while i work. Very long, so don't expect me to come back any time soon - or at all LOL

fair enough. I'm just responding to these specific comments - I'm not making an argument for or against physicalism. I was just pointing out that lang...

And fair enough - I'm just stating that i would agree duration isn't a good reason to take something seriously, but I do think endurance usually is so...

I think this earlier exchange may be relevant...

Then i cannot see what the futility is in relation to?

I'm not quite sure what you're addressing 'internal dia/monologue' is definitely a metaphor - but many people are unable to form sentences in their mi...

I think the difference is that the first version is true; this one isnt :) As did I, at the time i dismissed them ;)

Apparently, his writing is absolutely F'ing atrocious - so i took secondary sources and find his general ideas and thrust very, very interesting. I wo...

Or their own... which i find to be the case with those types of answers. Tail chasing.

:ok: Bang on IMO. But, once again, this is a 'poetical' take. It's fun in that light.

I think you're misconceiving the point. It's the endurance, not the duration, that matters. Plato has stood the test of time. It is not an appeal to t...

Yep for sure, appreciate you read that out of my comment and proceeded in a way salutary to my need LOL. Ah Ok, fair enough. I don't understand it to ...

Thats the kicker, huh? Why can't everyone do it. Same with internal dialogues..

Whats the difference in a 'sensitive' person? (i realise the quote claims 'never a cruel person' but then gives examples to support the former claim, ...

Hmm. Fair enough. We clearly run in different circles :grin: I would say overly-sentimental people, in my experience are ineffectual. They aren't trai...

Ok, fair enough - will keep an eye out. Agree (though i have further thoughts.. heh). Bold: Cripes; yeah fiar enough. My initial thought was 'that's i...

I'm not convinced this is a negative. I get sentimental about plenty of stuff, but it's an appreciation and momentary lapse of 'being in the moment' a...

Thank you :) Is the position such that the failure to address current or past suffering is somehow invalidating the attempt to prevent future sufferin...
