I like Fugue, it is a very nicely described haunted scene in which Poe is indeed not far away. I love Poe for his psychological sensitivity. This one ...

Well, not really. I do find the scene less believable when it is between a boy and a girl. I do not think it is gender bias when you take gender roles...

Perhaps Jueves is a girl... but then the story makes little sense to me. Come on, it is a boy's duty to take a punch for the girl is it? Then the girl...

I liked this one for the sense of melancholy it provided. The description of the man making his way through the city is nice. I am a bit struck by the...

Ohhh this one is very nice. It has a very 180 Proofian ring to it, the calmness, the careful placing of the figures and the sense of desolation. What ...

How can something that does not exist occur? Of course you do not need to address them, only if you want to. My reply apparently drew you in, so you w...

Of course not. That tentacle monster is not there, he merely thought it was. The promise may well not be a figment of his imagination, but a promise h...

I love it when people put 'fact' after their statement. "Ohh, if you put fact, well now, clearly, it must be true...." No bother at all. Cic already c...

What makes you assertions anymore true than theirs? Give a bit more of an argument otherwise it is just a silly rant.

The quote is correct as far as I know. synthetic apriori knowledge makes experience possible. It is what is pre-given in every possible experience. Ti...

At the risk of being scolded for commenting on a poem after the explanation has been provided by the author I just wanted to say this poem really grew...

The legal technical issue should be separated from the normative one I think. The Dutch article (Art. 450 DCC) stipulates that only if there is no dan...

That merely says that duties of care in the criminal sense are rare in the US, not that they are rare in most legal systems. Perhaps the US is the odd...

I believe it is three months max penalty, if one does not aid a stranger who is in direct danger of losing his or her life. If it is someone who is in...

Thanks Hailey, that is nice to hear! :)

Now you have determined that you are entitled to talk for others too... Maybe other authors do not feel the same as you do. As an author I, for one, d...

Projection your honor. It is not me who wants to impose. I like to explore together and see what beauty lies inside, hidden within the many layers. Fo...

I feel good when a reader likes it and when he or she offers a thoughtful and caring interpretation. As an author I feel 'cared for'. I feel bad when ...

I am very sorry you feel that way. That was of course not intended when I offered the feeling the poem conveyed to me personally. Exploring different ...

Yeah, only for me she was a dark haired Latina... But well... maybe that says more about me than the A.I. que chinga.

"Girl turns to boy why are you hiding? Perhaps for the best, sis"

A Leonard Cohen triple inspired by the short stories and poems... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQm1OmLMNno Dreamlike, such as many stories are and ...

It is a beautiful song and I think you would like it, but no need to go for a treasure hunt. Ohh I certainly did not mean to go there. I liked your th...

It is a beautiful poem actually, sorry I did not get around to vote. It is probably my favorite. It is interesting just while I was writing I noticed ...

Ohhh that is strange @"Amity" it might be because of the content of the lyrics, but for me it is available. I will try another version... Deleted sinc...

deleted, double posting

That picture is quite spot on Praxis. I do not know how you guys do it, but rendering the images with the stories s really cool! :ok: Ohh it will be. ...

A simplification always detracts... it is never a good thing. Neither is making things too complicated. It is a thin line. For me though, it is always...

Amity explained the poem but when I read it now it feels very soft and sweet like a brother and sister cuddling up with each other and the girl asking...

Yes she was. As Nils Loc pointed out and you saw, central and not there. Perhaps that was her centrality. An absentness that makes itself felt. Actual...

This is a story in itself I think, the description is aptly vivid. :eyes: Great work my friend. :fire: It is great storytelling and I loved the descri...

I do recognize something... Yes. Missing the trees for the forest, might well be, It seemed so many trees were there. Thanks for the explanation Amity...

@"hypericin" Great story and well deserved win! :fire: :sparkle:

Well put! :100:

Well done to the writers, poets and reviewers!

Duct tape is 180 Proof. Shaun & Quigley is Baden The Tourist is Noble Dust or Hypericin... Dead in the Water is Benkei Red White and blue... Amity? Th...

What is 'free and open enquiry'? We are always shaped, whatever method we choose even if we do not choose one. Seems to me to be part of the human con...

Neat cover letter! If I did not know any better I would hire you for that position! Hmmm... I still remember, Jamal.... :rage:

I am not challenging your interpretation of the story. I think your interpretation is spot on and I think you have very accurately articulated the int...

:up: :100: exactly!

Sure, but I never challenged you on that... There must be some kind of misunderstanding. I never addressed you in my posts as either a philosopher or ...

Anyway @"Vera Mont"we can play this game back and forth. For me and for some others the ending was too much of a stretch, for you and many others it w...

No, I was not referring to you specifically. Taoism may be philosophy. I do not know enough about it to say so. That is the same fallacy as Dingo comm...

Yes the death penalty carries the inherent risk of executing the wrong person. Every punishment in fact carries that risk. That punishment carries the...

Well, I do think I can, although I do not live near the US-Mexican border. I do not think that is a necessary impediment. I had a teacher in Dutch cla...

Huh? You think the law is very keen on killing innocent people? It is however beside the point. I said it is the same gut feeling that gets people kil...

No convincing you is not the main point. We are writing on a forum, we write for a whole group of people. What I am trying to do is teach a bit, becau...

Whether you buy it or not is completely irrelevant. My claim is that philosophy needs dialogue but not that every dialogue is philosophy. Your objecti...

I do not know enough about them. I also do not know if they are in the same boat. I know that thinking in solitude about life the universe and everyth...

Yes he might be and it may well have been like that. That is what vigilantism is, a judgment passed because we are convinced we know the truth. Howeve...
