I'll just deal with this question, as I feel I have a great deal of experience that is probably useless in this matter. My method of dealing with this...

Well... it's spooks me to see that someone of credibility has addressed this topic. It makes me feel less alone in my madness. Thanks! Meow! GREG

Given the context in which we live in, probably, but philosophically not really. Non-contextual idealism is a cancer of the ego. True it isn't the sam...

Indeed that is the case, but I often wonder why it is considered to be such a good and nobel notion. I still view democracy as a process and not an id...

That sort of makes me feel, well... hell... I don't even pay close attention to what I say... that kind of freaked me out. That must be a good thing.....

I probably shouldn't, but it seems to offend a lot of people when I make this statement... or maybe they are uncomfortable or... really I have no idea...

Don't know if this help... ... I find truth (or certainty) to be a 'process' rather than an 'actuality'. It is a dynamic process subject to adaptation...

Perhaps, but one thing I noticed is that the economic crash has a much more noticeable effect/affect in the USA than it has in Austria. (just came bac...

Speaking of oddness... (From my experience) Cyclists are usually allergic to intelligence. Perhaps my participation in the Philosophy Forum is meant t...

I saw it just a few weeks ago, but it seemed to me as if I saw first it back in 1977. I suppose that not everyone can remember 1977, as either they we...

Not that this is a major factor, but I've been away from the computer (for the most part) for the past 4 weeks. Now that I'm back, there could be a sl...

As I view it, the main problem here is consensus of definitions. What does it mean to pursue pleasure? What pain is to be considered pain to be avoide...
December 13, 2015 at 12:27
As far as I can tell, at the moment, is that we hit a wall at the singularity (the big bang). What happened prior to this is not really something we c...
December 12, 2015 at 11:09
Well... I'd say because of the predicating factors that have lead to to things being as they currently are and since these factors have been set into ...

I'm not too sure what to make of this, but I feel that the police in my (former) hometown did a fairly good job. Indeed he didn't have a machete, but ...
December 11, 2015 at 21:05
I should also mention that you are not really the 'one' I had in mind when I said "one can speak of". I suppose I needed to add a bit of context there...
December 10, 2015 at 16:23
Sounds a lot like my beef when it comes to any absolute idealistic notion. Indeed, idealistic notions only work when we know exactly what the standard...

All I can do is laugh at it all... ... if not, I'd probably just cry. Funny thing is when I went to high school back in the late 70's early 80's guys ...

I'm not too sure I agree. RANT ALARM!!! Americans tend to have quick and selective amnesia about such rants... calling them 'colorful' or even worse '...

WOW! What a horrible topic! (Time for a rant... as if that would be something new in this case...) Can we put it into 'Philosophy of Religion'? ------...

Agreed! Reading alone is how many a manifesto has it's beginning... leading to subsequent explosions. :-O Meow! GREG

It's not an order. It's just an appeal to show a sign of respect to the OP. Ask Tiff if this is what she had in mind when starting this thread or not....

Just to be fair... ... I sort of imagine Tiff started this thread to more or less share recipes and discuss interesting dishes to eat. I have great do...

I can live with that, as it means more for me. :D Meow! GREG
