I meant “your” not “our”. I am guessing I am correct and you’re willing to lose your job over it then? I know you het my point. And no, the phrase as ...
Badger here! On Nietzsche binge at the moment, but I’m hoping to have a proper go at Logical Investigations soon ... ish! Meaning within next 6 months...
Specifically: Only by someone looking to be offended. There is absolute NOTHING racist in the comment. That’s utter nonsense. Using abbreviations is h...
I’m not familiar with his work and may be completely wrong, but I do appreciate that saying “god” over a thousand years ago was something akin to sayi...
That would lead nicely into the Greek Chorus where the audience is actually presented with different perspectives with the Chorus acting as a guide (h...
What you say about “illusion” does have weight too though. I guess the problem we have today is we’re used to film and theatre, so a picture/photo lea...
Maybe if you think of each as being “climatic”? In this sense the play or piece of music is ONE whole yet it’s understood at the end in it’s completio...
It’s a bit like farting. Some people like to smell their own farts, everyone enjoys chuckling at the sound of it, and many are offended by the lingeri...
It does concern me that the US broadcasts this attitude globally now. I think it’s fair to say don’t see this kind of sensitivity in other western cou...
Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with saying “sell the team” or “get down on your knees”. On there own neither are racist. Either someone misheard...
Oh! Sorry, I had a brain fart there! :) And yes, it is contingent upon the person belieing they have agency. I wasn’t pushing any particular position ...
There are a number of possible reasons - some likely and/or more prominent than others. What I’d like to opint out is that in more stable countries (e...
It’s interesting to see that this is a global issue. The UK may not have the biggest economy in the world but what effects it effects everyone ... thi...
A buddhist’s life looks like not much of a life at all to me. Of course I’m thinking of the more ardent followers here rather than people whom merely ...
I’d rather live with technology scavenge around in the jungle on my hands and knees eating insects, fruit and punch the occassional mammal in the head...
I was referring to the quote only. He said: We take this “metaphorically” to mean “morally speaking”. If he meant we are but actors in a play then the...
I think that is an unfair analysis of what Safwan wrote. Determinism is split into various camps of thought. Strong Determinism doesn’t seem to be wha...
Your actual question: The “meaning” is it’s “use”. An exmaple would be that the meaning of “a seat” is in how it is used. The “meaning” is not some di...
You’ve said something obvious. We all agree that we cannot know something we cannot know. We cannot know the meaning of something we cannot know the m...
It’s existence is justification enough for me. What’s the next question, “How do mountains justify their height?” Life isn’t fair and any position can...
No need to “propose”. Just say it. We speak English and understand what that means. If you don’t know what this means I’ll tell you. It means “we cann...
I’m NOT arguing. How can I when I’ve no idea what you are proposing? The gist I’ve read is that someone writes a text (therefore the act has meaning t...
Why are you stating the obvious by saying if we cannot find meaning in something it has no meaning to us? If you’re suggesting that because we cannot ...
I generally choose to adopt the rouh distinction between “ethical” and “moral” choices. The moral choice is never publicly announced whilst the ethica...
Your meaning was UNCLEAR, hence the LATER of what I said NOT the former. If you need me to point this out further ... could’ve meant “be content,” “ha...
Plainer English would be more useful than an analogy. How about saying the minimum requirements for sustaining a life without excess stress and strain...
I’m a little confused as to how the term “economic well-being” is being used. Things like “self-awareness,” “growth,” and “meaningfulness” only have e...
I meant “all trace” as in “all WRITTEN trace”. Reality persists. And yes, it would look them same - in function at least. If lost and then discovered ...
Well put. I think protesting is ineffective anyway and I guess we can hope that such demonstrations (no matter how deluded - and some are) do at least...
