That’s silly. You can say the same for any number of things. Personal preferences don’t make things completely oblique. Every snigle word carries a pe...

Which reading guide? Do you have a pdf?

I view “philosophy” as being no more than an exploration of the limitations of linguistic understanding and what language means beyond the colloquial ...

Posty McPostface has meaning to me. It is a witty name and although it has no universal interpretation it does announce to me a certain inquisitive, h...

It’s up to you.

I like this question a lot as I like to describe myself, when pressed, as a wannabe intellectual. Thinking about this now I guess I’ve never really at...

If/when you read the essay I linked get back to me. If not don’t. Good luck

A “companion” meaning what?
November 15, 2018 at 06:50
How exactly are you going to go about this? I’m interested.

Have you heard of “conscientiousness”? There are aspects of this that basically cover what you’re saying. Such things as “industriousness” and “orderl...

Curiosity doesn’t need a reason. Sometimes such investigations reveal faults with previously held views on how the world operates.

Would you be willing to say that handling “pain” is like handling “stress”? If so avoidance of such would show a lack of “willpower” right? Would pain...

Epinephrine (aka adrenaline) is not necessarily damaging long term. Think about tolerance for one thing and lower levels that help cognitive ability (...

I wasn’t being rude. I offered you critique and some helpful reading. Acting offended is your “adrenaline” not mine. I actually find this quite painfu...

I didn’t say “optimal.” I said in some situations it is necessary to war with “evil” (unless you wish to allow evil to ravage everything.) Is it an “e...

It doesn’t matter what you “think” even by your own standards. What matters is whether you are right or wrong. How do you know you are right? Anyone c...

That wasn’t the reason. The link I provided as an overview of what “intelligence” means in psychology and a review of how it is measured. It is helpfu...

War is wrong? Can you prove this to be correct? Obviously we all know war leaves many dead and injured. If we’re fighting “evil” then is it okay to ma...
November 14, 2018 at 12:55
And how are you measuring this? Why do I have “low effective intelligence”? If you don’t have an objective means of measuring then it is merely your p...
November 14, 2018 at 12:43
Define “correctness” then. I was actually under the impression that IQ tests required people to get the “correct” answer in order to score high. Expla...

Let us say that someone starts a war because they believe it will benefit humanity and that by bringing about this war billions of people will die, bu...

How are you measuring my “effective intelligence”? What is “effective intelligence”?
November 14, 2018 at 12:03
How about doing some actual research rather than making whimsical claims? I really don’t understand the point of throwing out random unfounded opinion...

If you’re “new” then I would also highly recommend a series of podcasts uoooi can find for free from Oxford University. It gives a good run over sever...

They tend to have a few questions like this in their tests. Some bad ones slip through the net.
November 09, 2018 at 03:33
This question just made me realise something important I've been neglecting. "Sacred" has a specific meaning to religiois people. If you are not relig...

Maybe the last truly "free" nation on Earth is North Korea and we're all being manipulated into thinking it is against freedom by those that have ensl...

Just saying ... also the very first sentence starts with a "The Human Condition" without an explanation of what is meant. I am not saying it is preten...

Prove it! I will accept video footage of you jumping out of windows as evidence

I can offer something here maybe. Husserl when talking about protention and retention is doing so by use of epoche. We also look at time in the same w...

I think you could work on presenting your ideas more clearly, or "unambiguously". If you mean "clear" say "clear", not "unambiguous". If you have spec...

Hey, new here. Does anyone know of free pdf of Derrida Speech and Phenomenon?
