I like sushi

I can pretty much sum up my perspective on all these matters in a ‘simple’ way. Any public, or even internal declaration is opposed to, and dependent ...

Interesting take. I certainly agree with Peterson’s use of ‘post-modern’ speech. Overall though I think Peterson has done more good than harm and I’m ...

I’m not sure Stoicism is against grief. I think the issue is more about grieving the death of someone who is still alive. Once they are dead then grie...

Thanks. The most appropriate section I’ve come across to back this up is the following:

I’ve been having a search around and there isn’t much said in terms of ‘art’ as a ‘utility’, but it does seem to fall vaguely into that category.

Just curious, does Marx ever bother to mention aesthetic value or something like it in Das Kapital?

As a bonus question that is not something that anyone tends to ask anyone in interviews (surprisingly!). The short version: What is the most outrageou...

Just want to say this is strange and strangely interesting thread. Keep it going :)

These are my two attempts. I could probably be more explicit with the first question, but fear it would turn into a mini essay with too many obscure p...

I’m not considering the ‘labour’ here. Marx makes a point to ignore this too by saying: I’m concerned about the ‘qualitative’ aspect of these economic...

Okay, I’ll try and figure out a way to word my question that is broad and specific enough in regards to the limits of science. Thanks

When is the deadline for posing questions?

The way I understand it is that the ‘Commodity Fetishism’ is referring to the idea of holding to a set ‘objective’ value only by monetary measurement....

Of course, maybe I’m misinterpreting something but you’ll have to explain further as the following extracts don’t conflict with what I’ve been saying ...

Because you have schizophrenia you’ll probably appreciate that you have difficulty focusing because you have numerous distractions affecting your abil...

I’m not saying this as a ‘should’ or ‘need’ statement. I’m stating what I see as happening already through more one-to-one interactions online. People...

I necessarily must ‘doubt’ to know anything at all. What is ‘known’ is known only in the sense that I appreciate it as an evolving process that cannot...

Meaning? I don’t understand the question. Sounds quite silly tbh. Bonus: Mathematics? What does Mathematics mean? I can tell you roughly what it is an...

Jeez, that talk between Krauss, Dennett and the above was pretty dull. At least I have a gist now - but not much of one. Is there a paper I could read...

This seems nothing more than running with the common phrase “you need to own your actions”. Self-help guru stuff.

It was merely an example to emphasis a point, not evidence.

Let me attempt again by noting a scenario. If I wish to buy a chair the idea of Ikea would be to side with Commodity Fetishism in the sense that it is...

I wasn’t talking about ‘individual desires’ I was talking about interpersonal human exchange (socialising and exchanging stories, wishes, dreams and h...

That is hardly an argument. Plus, it makes no sense whatsoever, as the leading proposal - from what I’ve read - of Commodity Fetishism is that the hum...

This is the crux of it. Without input the brain lacks a means to locate itself within an environment. Sensory deprivation produces ‘hallucinations’ be...

You’re asking too much from me. Sum it up?

Please reframe these questions. I don’t quite understand what they’re referring. Thanks

Personally I see this as no more than a conflict between wanting to be part of a group and wanting to be different/unique. As we act more or less as ‘...

I’m not sure what you’re asking here. I haven’t stated that we should avoid monetary value. I have stated that economics isn’t only about monetary val...

I’ll have a listen and see if I can pose a decent question. The limits of science would be something of interest to me given my interest in Husserlian...

Only if you’re judging ‘value’ by monetary means. I’m not. Just because money is a practical measure of ‘value’ in terms of economics it certainly isn...

I wouldn’t say there is any useful difference to be made between ‘feeling good’ and ‘feeling happy’. In that sense I could then say something along th...

I know next to nothing about Satre’s ideas. I can say that I do tend to carry around my ‘world view’ as ‘me looking at myself’. What I ‘see’ is only e...

No, I don’t read latin. Just answer my question please.

It appears I got it correct then. I guess ‘decrease’ may have been s misleading term though. I meant more or less to lessen the gaze of fetishism and ...

I know it sounds weird. I meant as ‘tailor made’, there seems to be technologies coming into play that will provide ‘custom design’ by the consumer an...

Would that be any different than saying 10 people as opposed to 1. I still don’t quite see what you were getting at with the original point or this on...

I meant this in a way to suggest that more concern with the aesthetics would create a more interpersonal relationship between producer and consumer. I...

I never said that. I was arguing against that your opinion is ‘flat out better’. I may have read more into what you wrote than you intended though. If...

I wasn’t using ‘worth’ in that way. Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to inherent human ‘worth’, like the emotional value of sitting down in th...

I’m stating direct opposition to the following ‘ought to know’ for the reasons stated. Not only do I not know this I find it to be incorrect because i...

Both

One person with one million can do more than ten people sharing one million because you’d likely never get everyone pulling in the same direction. One...

I completely disagree with this. You’ll have to explain better what you mean by ‘worth’.

You have an extremely narrow view of what is and isn’t a ‘resource’ then.

Consider that people with money tend to get money because they know how to use it. 10 million doesn’t make you a billionaire either. What is all this ...

Not necessarily. Depends who they are.

You’ll have to explain that confusing statement.

I guess I meant that where Husserl ‘side-stepped’ the dichotomy held to for centuries Nietzsche created - and tried to articulate the framework of sol...

I’m asking because I believe the state of society has changed today and the ‘novelty’ of mass production is not exactly something that has lasting app...
