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 ...

You presented the material not me. If you think my points are irrelevant so be it. Hope you have success finding scholars of his work.

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...

Most people aren’t fond of racial slurs, so private or not they shouldn’t be surprised if they’re thrown out. What point did I miss?
March 14, 2019 at 03:40
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...

5 pages, no sense, no clarification, lots of evasion and ending on lie about answering a question. I’m out.

Scroll up and look

Do I get an answer?

Anax - Why “gotcha!”?
March 13, 2019 at 01:58
That’s basically the “foundation” of thought behind phenomenology.

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 ...

Stupid swivelly-necked mo fo! :D Note: Sudden found myself wearing my “silly” hat ... I’ll take it off now :/

While I’m here may I ask with full bluster and aggression what is “ONTOLOGY”? Seriously?
March 12, 2019 at 09:08
S - So you’re not human after all! Haha ;)

No Hindus here? That surprises me given the activity of the site.

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...
March 12, 2019 at 08:37
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...
March 12, 2019 at 07:08
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...

Which is existentially dependent on the other? Why not simply answer the question and explain why you say so?
March 12, 2019 at 05:10
Where have I disagreed? What “true claims”?
March 12, 2019 at 05:08
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...
March 12, 2019 at 04:56
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...
March 12, 2019 at 03:57
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...
March 12, 2019 at 03:52
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...
March 12, 2019 at 02:45
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 ...

Looks like this is about ... whatshisname ... er ... kopper? Something Pooper? POPPER! The issue of whether to tolerate those who are intolerable.
March 11, 2019 at 07:50
I generally choose to adopt the rouh distinction between “ethical” and “moral” choices. The moral choice is never publicly announced whilst the ethica...
March 11, 2019 at 06:03
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...
March 11, 2019 at 05:47
To highlight and clarify. If not they serve only to cloud the meaning. You did the later btw :)
March 11, 2019 at 05:08
Plainer English would be more useful than an analogy. How about saying the minimum requirements for sustaining a life without excess stress and strain...
March 11, 2019 at 04:36
Still idea what your point is. I can only assume now that you don’t actually have one and your “argument” (whatever/if it is) isn’t apparent to me.
March 11, 2019 at 04:33
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...
March 11, 2019 at 03:40
Yep, all invalid. The third is nearly valid. If it said “ALL” instead of “ONLY” it’d be valid.
March 11, 2019 at 03:31
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 ...
March 11, 2019 at 01:18
It’s a false dichotomy. That’s my view. Also the question of what “knowledge” is needs to be addressed too.
March 11, 2019 at 01:12
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...
