Do you think that 'subject' is a necessary property (Deixis) of language? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deixis

"The less you understand, the better you listen."

I didn't mean any ad hom. Anyway, what you call obscurantist might simply be a philosophers attempt at discourse, without the associations or baggage ...

You use philosophical terms on this forum that the ordinary person would not understand, therefore I should conclude that you are an obscurantist beca...

Yes as a tactic it is a game of mere one-upmanship. But, not readily accepting the traditional (or simple) understandings of language is useful to asc...

OK I understand that it serves your purpose but be aware that this is a limit to philosophy's potentiality. Not only philosophy but yours also. Philos...

So you are content to talk about things in peculiar ways if it is through the mode of science, but not philosophy? Afterall, the ordinary way of discu...

In a sense you have eaten how it appears, because it no longer appears in the same way as it did before you took a bite. You are consuming and modifin...

I would rather say the source of suffering is not heeding one's desire. As to your question: I don't know.

@op You have to define your understanding of 'God'. Perhaps start with saying whether God is immanant or transcendent, as I think this will effect you...

Not really. When a baby hears a sound for a first time, a word from his mother. He attempts to repeat it. The interpretation is the way it sounds when...

How do you experience reality, but through a filter that allows you to make meaning (interpret) of it all? Meaning is not just linguistic. You experie...

'Many people have a tree growing in their heads, but the brain itself is much more a grass than a tree.’ (Deleuze/Guattari) Meaning is what arises whe...

There can be no non-reaction to a word you haven't encountered previously. Even if you hadn't the physical experience of apples, the word itself would...

It's more than this. Interprétation is how being expériences reality. Every moment of existence passes through a filter unique to the individual. That...

Your reaction to the idea of a pup being kicked is grounded in, and informed by a context: the society you live, historical experiences, philisophical...

Why do you impose such limitations upon yourself?

Sometimes it's like that. I don't see it as a problem

Notice my comment was about subjectivism at the extreme end of the spectrum. I think there can be different degrees between subjectivism and objectivi...

They can claim that their moral view is subjectively true. True for them and anyone who agrees with their position (whatever that may be). Seems like ...

I pointed out that the charge of madness comes from those who lead an unexamined life. Worse than unexamined, ignorant. It is this collective ignoranc...

who said anything about nobility? The subject is madness. I'm merely describing the typical lifestyle of the masses, which includes an average working...

Mad people are those who go blindly through life, working 40 hours a week in some menial job, fully invested into this 'life' of materiality. So much ...

A true measure of intelligence is penis size. Edit: I mean measuring intelligence seems pretty arbitrary

I didn't say that you must obey emotions. However, I did say: "That's no life. That's an attempt to reduce from life the elements and qualities you di...

Life doesn't exist in a vacuum. You cannot treat life as some science experiment, whereby you reject some experiences in favour of others. Life withou...

That's no life. That's an attempt to reduce from life the elements and qualities you dislike.

These things are like sign posts: they guide you one way or another. You don't cling to the signpost.
