Athena

the following is the result of googling the popularity of Neitzche in the US.

You guys can find your argument in history as stated in the OP. Germany had reactionary politics and that is now true of the US. Why the denial of thi...

Well, now that is something I want to discuss. Public education is like a genie in a lamp, The defined purpose is the wish and the students are the ge...

Excellent, full of things to think about. The racist thing is a distraction from the wanting a totalitarian system and I am so glad you brought in the...

Of course, they did because they could not have the government programs without the bureaucratic organization. Germany had a better standard of living...

I love your term "cultural deterministic". That is perfect for what I have been trying to say for years but could not think of the right words. Of cou...

I love your post. To get directly to the point, besides the Christian problem of Christians competing against other to produce the most saints and kil...

I agree that racism was always a problem in the US and I will go further to say especially in the South it was taught in public education. The North t...

I knew nothing of Athena or the gods when my life went very badly and I slipped deep into Hades. Learning of the Greeks and gods came later and was my...

One of my best friends seems to have spent his life in depression. He makes me laugh a lot and when I laugh he smiles. For a moment he sticks his head...

Man, to not get the joke is a serious problem! When we can no longer laugh at ourselves, we are in deep trouble, and for this reason, I wonder why we ...

Greek philosophy is my chosen way out of depression. I do not know how long I was seriously depressed but when it finally ended, like a headache endin...

To not feel subject to our morals is to be a bad citizen. We do not make morals, but through effort we become aware of them as universal laws, and jus...

. I don't think masochism is a popular choice. I think humans are more prone to want happiness, but many get lost in Hades and without the help of the...

But like any science, it is not just the individual's judgment. It is a judgment civilized people share. @ Marvin Katz's explanation is essential to d...

I see nothing morally wrong with what you are saying but scientifically there is more information. I suppose we could have fun arguing if Neanderthal ...

Our soul or our ego? Here I am thinking of the ancient Egyptian trinity. Instead of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the Trinity could be us. One part...

But the ancients did have notions of evolution. I think we need to consider ideas of atoms and energy and what would have happened to history if these...

No, I do not know that. I know a tiny bit about East Indian thinking but not enough to claim understanding. I know there is a question about what cons...

"First of all" I followed the replies and got back to the above post. You do not think that statement is a concern with technological correctness? And...

I do not know exactly what you mean, but I feel strongly about proper thinking being humble and open to other possibilities because how we feel when w...

Since people became concerned with technological correctness.

I think that is an enjoyable explanation and that it is insightful to distinguish the difference between a thrill-seeker and an intellectual. I like w...

I like your reply. A sign of wisdom is knowing how much we do not know. That is why this is one of my favorite forums. We can talk about the unknown a...

I like the Sumerian story that we are special to the earth because we were created by a goddess to help the river stay in its banks, so it does not fl...

Thank you. With that information, I could find more and this link supports your argument. https://lco.global/spacebook/astrobiology/what-life/#:~:text...

I was just thinking out loud. Not drawing any firm conclusions except to recognize a political aspect to questions about what makes us as we are, besi...

This may not be the thread for my question, but I need to ask, how are living organisms fundamentally different from inanimate matter?

You know this is a politically explosive issue right? It goes with a king's right to rule and slavery as a kindness to inferior humans. I think comple...

I think our soul can be explained with science and is best without religious or supernatural notions. For me, this is an ego issue. Are we part of the...

I am amazed by how prejudiced my mind is. I was not always so prejudiced against revealed religion. I got here because there was a time when I thought...

:yikes: Perhaps it is my prejudice that makes it impossible for me to understand how religious notions have anything to do with the laws of nature? Th...

On really? That is interesting. Wouldn't it be nice if we lived 300 years so we had time to learn more? That is assuming our bodies would not age. 300...

I had to look for an answer to the question stimulated by @L'éléphant and pulled from @Shwah comment about Rousseau :chin: and got this explanation fr...

I am aware of Buddhist detachment but I am not in favor of it. I want to have a sense of purpose and the people I admired most are the ones who make a...

:lol: It is an emotional self-control problem and why I question if our good intentions can lead to a terrible tyranny. Mothers can be very "nice peop...

That is the ideal, but because of rhetoric and ignorance and I want to say youth, we do not achieve that ideal. Socrates blamed Athens's democracy for...

Oh my goodness, you wrote exactly what I was thinking about just a minute ago! This is so exciting! Please say more. I am not that familiar with Rouss...

That makes me happy. To me, it means, by good reasoning, we can make things better, but now I have to ask an old Greek question. How many people make ...

Absolutely not! I would not complement the people here if good thinking and good manners were common. In one forum I have at least 1/2 the active memb...

Oh my goodness we have different sources of information. My sources of information say a very deliberate effort was made to regain past knowledge. My ...

I did not expect anyone to accept a gerontological explanation unless they were old enough to have experienced it. Are you arguing our brains do not c...

How about young people can not be enlightened as we are enlightened in our later years. How well we understand meanings is a matter of brain organizat...

Yes and no doubt because we understand the nature/science behind many common-sense notions we can believe common sense is reasoning equal to scientifi...

Thank you for those comments. That is what makes Romanticism something to discuss as it looks different from different points of view. Personally, I h...

You did not watch the explanation of fast and slow thinking. There can be a big problem with believing common sense is good thinking. The video makes ...

I love :heart: that statement. This forum is so much better than most forums because the people here can see the subtle differences and see things fro...

That is a more personal view of romance than the op was considering. The original consideration was war for ideologies such as the violence during Hit...

It is all rather complex and I regret my limited time to respond to people. However, the futurist dream of the enlightenment was to raise the human po...

Yes, we should think scientific thinking is logical and the examples you gave and not. We agree those are not examples of scientific thinking, right? ...
