The only truly meaningful thing about a sexuality, which is defined by the romantic interest in another, is love.
August 19, 2018 at 09:19
This is an interesting idea... "I am born this way." 1. Do not immediately take this statement at face value or, in other words, as an assertion that ...
August 19, 2018 at 09:04
I agree with you about the absurdity of "only men/women can do 'that.'" The reason this is the case is because being a certain gender does not imply a...

Hmmmm. P3 What about being and the world? Being-in-the-world (Dasein (the human being / consciousness)) is existentially dependent upon the world but ...
August 19, 2018 at 07:39
I agree with you. I just read something about this, about Simone De Beauvoir's philosophy. "Beauvoir rejects the familiar charge against secularism ma...
August 19, 2018 at 06:00
But is being limited to human consciousness? How can we know that there is a being of anything other than consciousness, for is that not the 'method' ...
August 19, 2018 at 04:00
This is something I struggle with philosophically; the primacy of knowledge in terms of existence and consciousness. Sartre basically wrote a huge boo...
August 19, 2018 at 03:39
LOL!
August 19, 2018 at 02:56
Well, this is not a question easily answered. It involves an epistemological theory. What you are speaking from is known as realism. Furthermore, this...

Yes, this is what Descartes has provided. However. Existence is not a subject. It doesn't seem to me that it is. The only subject of Descartes would b...

I have many textual parallels between them. I thought this was obvious. But I don't know how to publish. I have many things I would like to publish bu...
August 18, 2018 at 22:31
Well that is why I stay out of the idle talk and average everydayness of Das Man, to use some terms of Heidegger. In other words, this talk by 'them' ...
August 18, 2018 at 21:56
But what does all of that really mean? It seems to me that all of that which you are speaking about only has meaning in terms of curiosity or fascinat...

The most important thing about transgenderedism, in my opinion, is that it is empowering of people expressing humanity carte blanche.
August 18, 2018 at 21:31
Well, I think people use the public discourse on transgenderedism as an outlet and a medium by which they can identify how they feel about themselves....

"The disintegration of Protestantism into over 400 different denominations is a sure sign that the restlessness continues." Carl Jung Christianity is ...

Love is the root of truth and communicability. Love is the superlative exchange.
August 18, 2018 at 19:29
It originates with conventional gender non-conformists... It has been taken up by media and other whatevers, but this is mostly because it is a revolu...
August 18, 2018 at 19:27
Jung did not reject Freud. Freud rejected Jung. But Jung was always a Freudian! Freud taught him so much. The difference between them was that Freud w...
August 18, 2018 at 19:17
That is idiotic, sorry.
August 18, 2018 at 19:06
Well, 'trans'gender means to go beyond gender. So. You can be whatever you want to be. You can describe yourself in any manner. That is your freedom.
August 18, 2018 at 19:03
and you say nothing in response to the previous page, where I mentioned you several times
August 18, 2018 at 01:52
It is a game of philosophy.. can't I have a philosophical sense of humor? I know I am not alone. But the only one who makes this real and not baseless...

The only thing I know for sure is that I love whom I am with. Brandon. I am in the process of trying to found knowledge on love.
August 17, 2018 at 23:25
You are simply wrong. I have a best friend who knew he was trans since a very young age, and was afraid his parents would reject him, which is the rea...
August 17, 2018 at 22:31
Agreed!
August 17, 2018 at 20:22
This is perhaps the most meaningful reply I have heard on this subject. And I agree with you
August 17, 2018 at 20:20
Idle talk at its finest
August 17, 2018 at 20:18
but TBH I couldn't care less whether or not you think I have a 'proper' argument when your arguments are that of a dilettante of experience.
August 17, 2018 at 20:17
The whole premise of psychoanalysis is Ubermensch. Jung's shadow? Hello?? No Nietzsche there? And Jung was Freud's "prince"?
August 17, 2018 at 20:13
but do tell me... How a creation ex nihilo is possible and prove it
August 17, 2018 at 20:10
I disagree with everything you said to me... What should I do now? Is it even worth replying?
August 17, 2018 at 20:05
Freud and Nietzsche are absolutely entwined! As well as Jung! If you know Nietzsche well... It is all in Freud! Totem and Taboo. The interpretation of...
August 17, 2018 at 20:04
Why is there a need to explain and 'establish' our experience when it is already established, say NOW when I am seeing the screen of my phone, and I a...
August 17, 2018 at 19:59
Which is precisely why knowledge is hugely a faith. Neural activity produces the metaphors... (Metaphor!)
August 17, 2018 at 19:57
The only thing I will say that is positive to you, because you really deserve a good thrashing... Is that I envy your French. I wish I knew French flu...
August 17, 2018 at 19:53
Who are you to say what someone else is. It is not as much someone saying that they are something as much as they are saying that they are not somethi...

Ben Shapiro is a blithering idiot.

Have you heard of the Buddhist monk who set himself on fire protesting in Vietnam?
August 15, 2018 at 22:25
And you also drink Bailey's from a shoe?
August 15, 2018 at 22:21
So you pick and choose before hand what you want to even try to understand? And perhaps 'simplify' was not the best word to describe 'that block of te...
August 15, 2018 at 22:10
You criticize it in terms of it being continental? I also said at the end that I had to seriously simplify it... But thanks anyway?
August 15, 2018 at 21:30
I could criticize myself according to Nietzsche's Truth and Lie in a Nonmoral Sense as well... But abstraction is the atmosphere.
August 15, 2018 at 21:27
Clearly you have not read Heidegger if you think that is awful and incomprehensible, much less Lacan.
August 15, 2018 at 21:26
Unfortunately that is not my problem. Is there something you did not understand?
August 15, 2018 at 21:24
Actually, Nietzsche thought it this in the 1800s... "What is a word? The copy of a nerve stimulus in sounds. To go on to infer from the nerve stimulus...
