I like sushi

I may as well say something about why I posted this. I have been kind of obsessed with the limits of language (written/spoken; as this is an example o...

Impossible is “as good as 0” not just, and only, zero. Improbable is a very low chance not an insignificantly minute chance (that is called “impossibl...

There is a VERY good reason I am dead against “passive tolerance”. I do think this discussion has been a productive one over all. It hasn’t gotten out...

Well, er, where to begin!? This is a viciously complex problem given that many fall into the trap of working from the premise that “emotions” are dist...

I don’t see the point of looking at one singular viable point made by a deeply prejudiced mentality. There are far more positive organisations that pr...

I’d be for stopping the use of “racism” as a meaningful term and simply talking about “prejudice”. In the videos I highlighted the problem is it is a ...

I can help out here easily enough: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ0QfLkjujY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-w0LFYhedo0 Both possess purposeful misuse ...

Mathematically speaking they call such things “impossible” not “improbable” - like jumping to the moon. It is also impossible for sand to be randomly ...

Thanks. I’ll probably attempt a post to express what strike me about this most - and it is difficult to only read any extract from Nietzsche without h...

Okay, maybe I could explain what I meant better ... I made a comment that I think the differences in opinion about some piece of artwork is possibly, ...

This is just like saying if 1,000,000 people each try to eat a fully grown elephant in 2 seconds the probability of someone doing so is greater than i...

I never said anything like that. Meaning I never once mentioned any “intent” from the artist. I did mention the subjectivity of the art.

:up:

It might be a mistake to think they’re not? If you have point show it ;)

No it doesn’t. If you think Transformers is a film to be regarded as a good, or very good, work of art then your judgement isn’t that great I’m afraid...

If you could reference the page/paragraph it would be appreeciated. It’s been a while since I’ve read it and I’m rereading now. I don’t think he menti...

I was referring to the “fact IS interpretation” no the value part.

I don’t really think so ... from what I understand of the opening of this work he is referring to the “drive” we have to question, and what lies behin...

Love that review! It is “porn” for sure!

There is a strak difference between a “theory” and a “scientific theory”. We’re not obliged to “believe” in scientific facts - and there are enough st...

They are ABSTRACT rules. I stated quite clearly the difference between the real and the abstract in my post. We cannot have an opinion about 1+1=2. Un...

How about these obvious items: language, art, music, food and mortality?

Er ... I think I’m done here. Enjoy! Hope you guys find some common ground :)

Fair enough. I guess you can then appreciate that if you were black and living in the US that certain racist types may make you more sensitive to your...

Did you read the quote you selected? I don’t see how the quote connects to your response. If you could explain it would be useful. Thanks

I think I already outlined thoroughly enough my position on the term “race” in this context. Socially speaking we’re bery much inclined to categorise ...

Thanks for our input, but I was hoping for a response from Banno ... sadly it’s not come yet. Anyway, from what I can see of your response I don’t see...

I was fishing for clarity. I believe I framed part of what you are asking of us well enough? If not amend as you see fit. I made no assumption about w...

To add to that ... “subjectivity” and “objectivity” have certain kinds of values of opposition depending upon the conext in which they are used. Langu...

The common narratives of being unite humanity. Obviously we have great difficulty in communicating our perspectives of this narrative though! :D

It is not a new tactic in the political sphere to recruit people to a hidden cause by laying out some reasonable problems and offering a quick solutio...

The absolute can only be framed without a set and rigid context. 1+1=2 is true by means of the rules of arithmetic. A set of abstract rules can be con...

And if people disagree whatever you wrote after this is probably quite redundant. The question is can you see another possible perspective or use of t...

I don’t understand the question. I think adherring rigidly to one particular way of thinking is neither useful nor progressive. In that sense I could ...

It takes a genius to say something utterly and infintely stupid.

TO ALL - I think all that Judaka is asking (the mislabelling of “alt-right” aside) is whether or not there is a tone of hypocracy in calling “white” p...

I cannot say I understand your response to some suggestions I made about Anaxagoras’ position. I thought I was clear enough when I said that some peop...

Well, they are kind of whining about nothing aren’t they? Those that aren’t part of the “alt-right” and wish to preserve certain traditions are occasi...

All good. I’m only posted on this thread to see where Judaka was trying to take it. I think everyone appreciates the history of happened in the americ...

You misquoted. I only wrote this line of the text you quoted:

I see you’ve editted the respinse since and actually added some content ... seemingly assuming I’d never heard of King Leopold? Give me an ounce of cr...

How is that response meant to be taken by me?

This is not the full picture. In most societies, where manual labour was deemed below the given aristocracy in power, people were judged by their skin...

The thing is when you say things like this: You leave the door wide ope for less savoury types. Most, if not all, people are unaware of the privileges...

I think you’ve misused “probability” here? The numbers are irrelevant in the manner you’ve presented the problem. The of ONE person being “correct” wo...

Would like to ask something regarding “use” and “meaning”. I am curious as to how you may, or may not, differentiate between these two in terms of bot...

Why are you here then? Why bother with all this “fussing around”? Do you doubt your own point or are you hear to recruit/convert others? Do childen ne...

I disagree! ;)

I guess this will inevitiably lead to the question of what “culture” is deemed the “superior” ... which I would regard as a false question for several...

That is where many appear to have been duped. Due to the conflation of terms (“race” used by those stoking hatred in a non-compatible dualist manner -...
