Following this quotation, H says: "Thinking about the beginning of the history of be that reveals itself in the thinking of the Greeks will show that ...

I'm sure Arne, Mikie or Joshs can respond to this better, but my understanding here was that Heidegger wanted to emphasize that "being in the world" i...

Thanks for the clarifications.

Forgive me - interesting article, but I'm not fully understanding the scam...Citadel buys orders from RH, RH offers commission free or "commission fre...

McMaster, Cheney, and Panetta have all mused Israel might attack post nuclear deal, and another article suggested there is reason for Israel to act be...

Here is an article authored by Blinken and Kagan from last year on American foreign policy: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2019/01/04...

I think the "permanent campaign mode" is one of the bigger problems - along with unlimited money. Read recently there are laws/restrictions on this in...

Electoral college/supreme court involvement still seem like possible intrusions on whatever popular vote is, no?

For "mercifully short" reads that pack enough punch to recall again and again on their own merit, to help unravel other passages in Nietzsche's writin...

Chomsky's thoughts on LEV back in 2016 (thought some here might find interesting): There's a "preamble" I didn't copy/paste: https://chomsky.info/an-e...

While I agree with the concerns, on the assumption of various accusations somewhat cancelling each other out (lacking the ability to continue to follo...

Shot in the dark question here: anyone read/handled the 800 page Routledge paperback edition of Popper's Open Society? If so, at 800 pages for a paper...

That's fair.

I've always taken notes on a separate sheet of paper if I thought a book worth highlighting or making margin notes - mostly to preserve the condition,...

That's funny - considering many conspiracy theories appear to revolve around bankers manipulating masses.

This is exactly what it's come to. If Trump is encouraging white supremacists he's a fucking loser and unsuitable for office. If Trump doesn't really ...

Now you appear to no longer be talking about any specific point. Also not worth further research.

Nope. The failure at the debate was acknowledged by yourself. You simply downplay the significance. We are repeating ourselves now.

You have already acknowledged the failure with your "Big Deal" comment. Again, debating the 'ratio' is ridiculous.

Trying to figure out if it is or is not is not worth more time. It shouldn't even be a question. And yet it is. An implicit debate here seems to be "h...

Nope. Not worth researching all those 'many times' then comparing then debating. That's a loser of a leader.

He did not. He avoided a direct answer from the start. He instead asked for a name. Then said "stand back and stand by.". He did not go on to condemn....

I think rather the problem is that 'the everything that comes out of Trump's mouth' is not worth researching if the man can't not say something like '...

I'm in the space coast - any specific recommendations, within a couple hours?

Trump's reaction (lack thereof) to "dogwhistles" was interesting.

I'd prefer it if everyone in my life was happy. :-)

This is what I took you to be asking. I don't know the answer. Koch Bros and Robert Mercer have been cited as interconnections of "American Capital," ...

Maybe it's contagious.

That's fair. I'll have to get back to you on that tomorrow.

Yeah, well - I'm drunk also. Cheers.

I'll fold - not sure why. I'm up? If you actually look at my post - most of it was quotes already posted with my effort at some commentary. Unless I f...

My Qanon spell must be working.

Lol. Agree to disagree. I think it's readable.

I read this as one possibility considered: So we've got the GOP named as logical body to which Trump is beheld. Sounds reasonable. But: So we're not p...

So in your view(s), Trump may be viewed essentially as without 'masters,' leverage, or otherwise outside influences and any other supposition would le...

I live in a little place in Florida with some silly nude beach between Daytona and Cape Canaveral. My observations of the local 'wildlife' here are go...

Interesting points. Side note: I do find it interesting Clinton ends up fairly well-received even by otherwise Republicans and Trump supporters (among...

I was taking your post and Michael's together - as considered together they seemed to me to raise this question. Let me attempt a rephrasing/reframing...

Edit: Also acknowledging this, as well as an indefinite number of variables bound up with metrics such as the stock market, GDP, and employment levels...

On the supposition that both 1) Trump inherited a good economy that then went south, and 2) that the dot com and financial crisis bubbles lead to down...

Thanks for the reference. This is simply the view most of the folks that are sympathetic to Trump or support him that I work with believe when asked f...

What's your take on the argument of Trump supporters that his cutting of corporate taxes, etc brought jobs back to the US and contributed to lower une...

I read this and thought - but why not just choose mortality if you're a masochist? And then I thought: oh.

I think I basically agree with this. I don't know why but I always find Harris irritating - and not because I disagree with him. I think I agree with ...

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm not sure either. All I can think of so far is it being a part of his attempt to link each discussion (insofar as the phrase only appears to show u...

I think this question is formulated somewhat strangely - to exhibit this strangeness, consider: It seems analogous to saying something like: "Can we s...

Agreed (the usage was sarcastic).

What he says appears to me to cater to warmongering energies within his supporters (see also Nos characterizing the justification of Kyle Rittenhouse'...
