A new justice is born and dies on the lips of each man who would pronounce it.

Don't need a theory. One simply accepts everything as true. You don't have to accept it as your truth.

Hehe, best of luck with all that!

mostly playing devil's advocate with the stuff I'm stuffing into muscle memory.

We don’t need epistemology to know; epistemology is an after-the-fact rationalization of what life already does. Epistemology is like a priest arrivin...

The so-called “problem” only arises if you think consciousness is a thing-in-itself, via divorcing mind from body, rather than a function of life. It'...

Doubt you could even construct a valid and sound reasoning for that claim. But if you wish to live that way, go for it. Philosophy is a diagnosis of c...

One can simply create a way of thinking, and affirm it by living by that method. It's legitimate because it's a way of life that works for many. It's ...

WORLD is not a justified belief lol. It is experience regardless of belief. Collapsing the dualism simply brings people back to the reality of becomin...

I just find it such an odd way to classify. To me it's like an admission that one experiences oneself as fundamentally separate from the world. That o...

Just a reminder: there is no such thing as an "external world." Our entire body, including our thoughts, is/are merely a part of THE WORLD. Those who ...

I don’t think I would trust Plato's realm of ideas. It was cute thing to suppose we are a recession of internalizations apart from an externalized wor...

The real world is beyond all ideas, quite literally, the world precedes and grounds all ideas in perspective thereto.

Justified True Beliefs, isn't that mostly rhetorical clothing for our instincts? Reasons are post-hoc rationalizations of our drives. A life-preservin...

isn't this whole forum armchair philosophers? The main problem here is everyone is stuck on Platonism. Which makes for that boring pretentious armchai...

a simple way to imagine it is as if your body is filled with millions of broadcasting stations. But reduce the wording however you want?

One of the greatest scenes in film history is "the three seashells" in Demolition Man.

Banno, it's a bit obvious that Badenusthra came to engage with a poorly developed rhetoric in lieu of Nietzsche's writings. And certainly while not in...

Although he critiqued Christianity, one of the lesser understood aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy is that he was a bit of a "fan" of the primative Ch...

Banning "Hate Speech" is just another version of "woke." Banning Hate Speech means the government ought to ban most religious denominations too.

Nietzsche is the first psychologist of the eternally feminine because it draws him aloft. Consequently not a misogynist.
