You are not addressing the point i've made in any way whatsoever. Respectfully. This is obviously something that ignites a serious passion in you, and...

Both, in turns, but through much hard work It's overall constructive/instructive these days. I went through some seriously dark periods though.

Ok, wonderful. Very much appreciate that. I'm getting somewhere heh. Thanks for this exchange :)

Christ; sorry, for whatever reason I thought neomac's response was part of yours. Doh. Rookie move.

Interesting. I have an unstoppably verbose internal monologue, to a serious fault (insomnia, I am able to induce mental illnesses etc...) and share th...

So my wife has never really known her dad. She was an only child to a single mother - mother never hid anything... My wife knew who he was, and essent...

That has always seemed a more reasonable approach to me, so fair enough lol.

Ok, nice. That feels like a slightly more adequate key to the lock im trying to pick, compared with my question. Thanks! Feeling a little less lost no...

Not at all, no. I'm fully accepting of anthropocentric climate change (though, i certainly have quibbles around what exactly the implications are - an...

Given these are, either in restricted senses, or in other jurisdictions, completely legal, we have to accept that this is the case. People as means-to...

This has been a bit of a phenomenon recently. Apparently, about 60% of people have no internal monologue https://irisreading.com/is-it-normal-to-not-h...

I suppose it depends how you're defining it. If you mean the anthropocentric system of allocating symbols to facts about the world and abstracting the...

On this account, are you illustrating the 'concept' of that (I guess, specific..) sound, without needing to invoke an object to understand the sensati...

Hi Russell - thank you very much for your reply. It is helpful in someways, and not in others. As a pre-empt; shortly after making my comment, I was w...

I worked as a debt collector for a time in finance and I no kidding once had to put through an application for hardship for a fellow who had been susp...

It's not true. Thank you for your time :)

This has struck me, in CPR, as absolutely nonsensical (which may just be me, hence questions). How could the concept of an apple indicate it's actual ...

New Zealand - but i also looked about a bit in the UK, as i'm also a citizen there (and Ireland.. lol).

Fair enough. Luckily, that was (roughly) the approach i took anyway. However, I've seen a pretty clear distinction - some schools only teach what is g...

Interesting. Starting out my academic journey sort of at the moment - seeking advice from many quarters, the one cohesion between the bits of advice i...

Hi Athena! Sorry for not yet replying to your earlier comment. I don't necessarily think I am the best-placed member to give a good account of that sc...

Hi Alkis :) Thanks for your thorough response. I\ve started with the above as i believe it, in some senses, makes some of your other responses redunda...

It's a direct supporting context for while British and American law is not alike. If it isn't relevant to your point, your point was either extremely ...

Yep - often do. I just happened to be getting off a train at the time LOL. Have edited now.

The underlined would suggest: Yes! But we must be humble about it to a very high degree! Not that this is news lol

**an unwillingness + **illustrate (that) the appearance of him, as i've described it, isn't a wild thing to hear someone say, despite it being inaccur...

My point was that as I’ve seen it, he doesn’t. He just dismisses. I’ve also been clear I’m not actually knocking the guy. I appreciate an unwillingnes...

lol. I was under the impression went sent ourselves to Hell...

The only thing I have ever known myself to exist on/in, is the world. It would be far more unlikely that at times i'm not perceiving it (unconscious ,...

Or drugs.

Also, very interesting. I have a good number of Catholics friends who are practicing, and as best i can tell, they practice virtue ethics. I should pr...

We saw a micro-cosm of the US election here in New Zealand recently. We moved, overwhelmingly, to a liberal government in 2017 (we have three-year ter...

Interesting. Working through this post and it's references (only insofar as they are directly relevant and retrievable) I got the feeling that I agree...

Don't assume i understand more than 10% :P

In terms of why i'm saying this, across about five threads i've seen the opposite. Again, if it's unwillingness i have respect for that. It seemed as ...

Interestingly, just listened to a podcast which was a debate between Michael Shermer and Sheldrake. I thought Sheldrake won the debate, despite basica...

Just an observation - It may be the case that the remainder of your defence of 180Proof is correct - but he comes across condescending, affected and i...

I apologise :P At least i now have some understanding, and grasp what i'm denying :sweat:

(for brevity - assume it includes the Gergen quote too) Huh, i see. So I suppose thsi is a framework that supposes some universal 'oughts', but this b...

Can we have some explication of how that connection obtains?It feels intuitively sensible to me, but I can;'t enumerate any kind of necessity between ...

Welp, i've just this morning reached the Transcendental Logic, Second Division :Transcendental Dialectic. What pitfalls must i avoid in reading this s...

Now, now, boys....

I do not believe this is the case. Remember, in philosophy, words generally have field-specific meaning: https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/question...

:snicker:

Thread put me in mind of this once you mentioned him. Nice. Thank you :)

It has been a serious failing of mine to have waltz right over Aristotle. I took Plato, then Aurelius. I will purchase a complete works of Aristotle t...

I understand the little i do of Maimonides (and Spinoza) through a psychiatrist trying to treat the Jewish Patriarch stories from a psychological pers...

Are the determinations compatible across each sector of assessment? I would be interested to hear a moral theory that comports with a religion, and an...

I take theistic theories of morality to take such as given.

Understood and thanks for bumper-stickering it. I suppose my position on that is that, I don't think it's open to rational discussion in terms of esta...
