"1) The experience of love works, a fact which can be confirmed by anyone of any belief in their own personal experience without reference to any outs...
I don't think that Christianity has ever been based on authority, persuasion, or blind belief. Paul says that there are three kinds of people, the nat...
I don't think that Christianity has ever been about persuasion, or reasoning to belief, or just believing things, but revelation. Paul says that there...
It's the birth of philosophy, or rather, what reigns supreme contemporaneously is sophistry, but philosophy wins the game over time, historically. Per...
I didn't grasp that it was literally about death, and I believe this to be for tragic reasons. Allow me to give another account. We developed the lang...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth Thought I'd look at wikipedia, and look at that illustration on the right. Time saving truth from falsehood and en...
Religion is how to live one's life. What to do. Philosophy examines one's life, so that it precisely examines these things. Religion is aesthetic, abo...
Because we all live in a fantasy world, of our own creation constructed by our preferences, and it is distasteful and upsetting that others should not...
People trying to find themselves. Everyone around us is constantly telling us, but they're all wrong, aren't they? The pain of objectification. The fe...
A reality within which I can breathe fully. A reality within which I do not need to trust anyone, in order to be kind to them. A reality within which ...
That is quite moving. Do you suppose that we are in captivity? We see quite readily not only are the animals more thoughtful, but they atrophy, and de...
Not saying that this is the same thing, but I'll give an analogous example. With respect to an object, or thing in the world, we have three necessary ...
I wouldn't know on an individual basis, I don't think that the activity itself is relevant. I wouldn't characterize art is play, and farming as seriou...
I think that what characterizes play, is its non-commitment. It isn't serious. It isn't true. I'm pretending, experimenting, trying things out. It is ...
Yes, I think that we agree, I just lacked specificity in my suggestion. I was speaking more to institutions that develop to address contemporary socia...
Yes, quite right, on all points. Well put as well. Also happy to hear that there are at least some suggestions that this is the case, and I am noticin...
Indeed, I think that there is a natural wax and wane around an equilibrium. I think that there is a natural proclivity for institutions to quickly bec...
There is but one thing to fear, and one evil. That is God, and damnation. No amount of harm, betrayal, exploitation, defamation or disenfranchisement ...
"3) younger cohorts who have been raised by 1)-type globalist indoctrination, but are rejecting it and looking for alternatives (and this group may ac...
Drop all that mind reading. Whenever you hear yourself think, or have that sensation of "they'll think or feel this way" as an anticipation to any of ...
You did not, but the link suggests that. As it is about remembering particular details necessary for passing a test in school. Memorization, repetitio...
Understanding differs greatly to remembering specific things. What specific details do you remember about learning to talk? If you had to take a test ...
It's quite similar to what we both we talking about. As itself obscured, it is not clearly identifiable, or explicable, but like the sun, it is requir...
As an animal, you have the simple problem of distinguishing between what's part of you and what isn't, what to approach and what to avoid, and the lim...
I mean that taboos are a go to for comedy, for the shock factor alone. Combine that with the taboo being enforced around just vices, unattractiveness,...
Yes, you're alone, but not incurably. Language is public forms, that we use to express our experiences, and are universal while the experiences that t...
