Arcane Sandwich

Not according to medieval Islamic occasionalists, or to a European rationalist occationalist like Malebranche. For the occasionalist, God is the cause...

The medium is the message? Nah.

Well, the request I made is quite a tall order, so there's no problem if you say the wrong thing. Who cares? Not even you should care about that, as a...

Nah. There is also the Literal Truth.

Which is why they're more civilized than us.

What is that feeling called? I know what sadness is called. I know what happiness is called. But essences don't exist according to some people, rememb...

I want you to tell me the Absolute Truth about Reality Itself. In comparison to that request, debating is worthless. Why would anyone debate anyone, i...

I never did :)

:blush: I'll just quote it, so that I can remind everyone of it: EDIT: You know what, Tom? I'm quoting that on my Forum Profile now. It's one of my fa...

Unless it's not.

Unless it's not.

And if I don't want to?

Would you mind proving a link to it?

And if I don't want to have a debate with you?

What question?

I'm just asking. It's a simple question.

You implied and keep implying that Bunge is wrong. Gee, thanks for not shooting me, I suppose I should say.

I could, if I wanted to. For example, you should have included a ? sign in your reply number 969740. Cool? And for your other comment, why should I he...

And whose fault is that?

Is Bruno Latour a good Catholic, in your opinion?

It's an awesome series of movies regardless. They're documentaries, in an anthropological sense. I would say.

You shoulda lerned that in school, mate.

I dispute that claim.

Some people are not even liberally educated. Some people are not even educated to begin with! Some people are not even educated to begin with!

"Kind of"?

There's a really good trilogy about that, maybe you've seen it, or heard of it: The Decline of Western Civilization, by Penelope Spheeris.

Yes it does. If you say something ungrammatical, then it cannot have a truth value by definition. Actually I should qualify that: it can't have a trut...

That's exactly one of the things that I've been saying ever since I joined this forum about 3 months ago. But people (like Banno for example) think th...

If you don't despise me, then why won't you talk to me?

You have the right to do such a thing. Thanks for telling me. Then delete it.

Not in a written text. There is no yelling and screaming in a written text. There is not even talking. You think we're all talking here? We're not tal...

Or the offended person's educational level.

You can think whatever you want. Why should I let you do such a thing? Let's start with that.

That sentence is not grammatical, to begin with. It's not a well-formed formula.

And I'm saying, that your beliefs are respectable. When have I disrespected you?

No, we're not. You're not above a shark. Not when you swim under it.

And you think I care? I'm an Artist, dude. I carry my skills with me, wherever I go.

OK. That's your argument? Then here's a counter-point to it. I declare that I am the creator of the Philosophy to be called "Argentine Realism" (Reali...

Like I said, sometimes we forget our connection to reality, just as we sometimes forget our connection to Nature. And to Culture, I would add.

A contradictory one. Paraconsistent logic, for example.

Then why have you been giving me such a difficult time for the past 2 or 3 months concerning the idealism vs materialism debate? I already told you th...

Ok, cool. :up:

But it's like, don't you know them already? Everyone knows what those are.

:D

But that's my entire point as an individual, Timmy. When I complain about the latter, people suggest between the lines that I'm over-reacting. Yet whe...

That's true.

That requires de-escalation. By definition, I might add.

What do you think about Emerson's Transcendentalism? I don't care what robots think. Fuck them.

If you don't mind, my question was specifically directed at Carlos. I want to know his opinion.

No, I don't dance, in any way, shape, or form, with anyone, because I make the Ethical decision to not do such a thing, just as I make the Ethical dec...
