You are simply returning us to the question of whether objective reality exists outside of the mind, and we have already agreed that for the context o...
No not at all. I suspect there is a distinction between your 'Philosophy' and that which is your philosophical view or consideration upon a subject, v...
If by 'always' you mean infinite, this does not seem possible as the Universe seems to be heading towards its own expiration (open), rather than a clo...
No of fence mad, but these are precisely the 'beliefs' that we are trying to escape: "If I understand you correctly you seem to be implying truth chan...
Pierce's assertion contains a contradiction in that the fallibility of the human animal may be escaped through objective measurement that is less conf...
I use the words 'more true' in deference to the possible truth of infinity itself. We can only assume an infinite truth if we assume the veracity of i...
Great quote. Well, if we presume that we cannot speak of truth and falsity with any certainty, then it follows that we must come outside of ourselves ...
I don't think China might be considered as Fascist. For starters it is too big to be considered in any single context. The Chinese government must man...
All hail Posty,mc postface.... fascist dictator of an evolved socio-philosophical republic! Where do we sign up? Do we bring our own doughnuts and esp...
There are too many decrepits in America for it NOT to eventually evolve into a socialist state. Freedom is wasted on Americans, like youth is wasted o...
Agreed Socialism is the best state. However the beauty that is America is that it preserves and attempts to foster the attributes of freedom before th...
Yes indeed, however for every dollar invested into 'socialism' another dollar will be required to ameliorate the 'dependence-effect' caused by the pre...
Pacifism can be as violent as aggression. All that is being debated here is the private meaning applied, or presumed to belong to particular nouns. Sa...
It appears to me that the left right divide is an illusion. It is simply a line that separates those who think that wealth should be shared to a great...
There is nothing wrong with fascism, if it is done right! What did Zizek say about the Nazi's; the problem with them, was not that they went too far, ...
What I find interesting here is not so much the reply in respect of the process 'seeing the colour red' but rather the hyper-enthusiasm for the existi...
Vast scales the formula is perfect management or death. There are no absolutes in nature, outside of nature ITSELF there are no perfections and as we ...
Is the premise here of a 'knowledge explosion' valid? I think not. The equation of knowledge and food is also unsound as food is physical and has phys...
I can't reconcile the notion that consciousness and neural activity could be the same thing. Neural activity is a sequential process with action poten...
Your position is not logical. To state that consciousness is the effect and neural activity the cause makes no sense if we are to consider the human s...
Great I will open a new discussion re same. I don't wish to trouble you with the hassle of supervising my ideas. If the moderators disapprove of the c...
In the discussion I make the point that Trump exemplifies some of the worst aspects of the human psyche, via his intellectual primitivism. I stated in...
I don't wish to open an old sore however my post in respect of 'The naked truth of Trump' was closed/shifted/deleted by Streetlight in respect of his ...
Ah Posty... have you been on Malibu Beach, working on the tan? Much has been going on (and going off) the forum in your absence... you might have to d...
If you wish the issues on the playground and the immanent risk to Posty's health to be addressed in the context of the parental analogy, you would be ...
This is an interesting thread. There is a lot of academic metaphor, which is also somewhat relevant in the context of recently suppressed ideas pertai...
I doubt if he will take comfort from my support. I have no interest in him or his feelings per se. Some of his philosophy is quite beautiful and profo...
:( Perhaps the indefinite nature of the ban might be considered, at an administrative level? Minds change, and people mellow. All good philosophers ar...
"Bans: Admins have the right to ban members. We don't do that lightly, and you will probably be warned about your behaviour if you are under considera...
Apologies I have always had difficulties with guides and lines. Good ideas invariably tend to break them. Internetstranger RIP But I fear we are the l...
Although there appears to be no opportunity to reply when a discussion has been summarily shut down. Is there an opportunity to appeal against a 'bann...
You have missed the point here, in that the racism that is fostered by formal processes is a sublimated racism. IE it is not overtly obvious and as su...
"]Maybe, but no one on this forum is getting your message because of the way you're presenting it." Is it the way the idea is being presented? Possibl...
The point here is that the deletion/move in question is not 'moderating', but rather something else, a form of intellectual self preservation. The 'da...
If it is as badly composed as you assert, why not put it back up, and see the proof of your 'opinion' in the lack of interest it generates. Moderators...
This type of language and thought is arguably 'Trumpian' in its essence, and I can see why you found the 'naked truth' post personally offensive, but ...
I suspect I am soon to be banned also. But before the inevitable, there is an opportunity to consider if something a bit severe is going on? For the s...
Internetstranger has tendered me his share of 'insults' and I have enjoyed all of them. He has called me stupid and in a certain sense he is quite cor...
Is this simply the evolved version of the notion that we can save ourselves from technology through the application of more, newer, better technology....
Recently I started a discussion entitled 'Trump the Naked truth'. This was closed and transferred into a different thread called 'Donald Trump'. The i...
