You don’t account for male role models ... why? Also, in some cultures the ‘father’ provides no emotional support - this is a role usually take on by ...

This is certainly no the case for Husserl - the ‘father of phenomenology’. He says the exact opposite. He praises the natural sciences and his quest w...

In response to your question about Husserl. I’ve spent s reasonable amount of time reading Husserl (Crisis especially - keep in mind that work was inc...

The fault is yours.

Yep, ages away on the scale I’m talking about. This was more of a thought experiment not rigid description of what is or will happen.

It’s not set in stone! I’m HIGHLY skeptical when it comes to scientific data on something I strongly believe to be true. DMT has NOT yet been discover...

I did jump the gun ... :( No actual hard evidence as yet. Guess we’ll have to wait a few more years/decades before this discovery is made ... obviousl...

Halle-fucking-lujah! About time! Not even looked at the study yet so maybe I’m jumping the gun. This is HUGE if it’s true. I’m fairly convinced I had ...

Compliment his views with others. Also, look more into the biochemistry involved and more ‘hard science’ position. WARNING! Many ‘New Age’ types misre...

Drop offline and read a selection of books on one topic with vastly different views (subject doesn’t matter as long as you have genuine interest in th...

I was talking about a global scale so they’ll be no ‘immigrants’ to speak of that would in any way effect this ‘economy’. But yeah, what you say bears...

You recently quoted Thus Spake ... does that read like crazy gibberish too? My point is not a great deal different, but I’m focusing on FEAR.

Go seek therapy then. I don’t care about your past and this isn’t the correct forum for this kind of discussion imo. Frankly I’m surprised it’s gone t...

It was meant as semi-parody and as a critique of theism and atheism. It is certainly quite s pretentious looking piece of writing in hindsight and I w...

I thought what I wrote may be obscure ... you beat me! Far more obscure yet it does give us a tiny peek into the machinations of your ‘thinking’.

Anyway, I wouldn’t class being sexually attracted to someone in their late teens as a sign of potential pedophilia. Prepubescent, THAT is! I wouldn’t ...

One of the best summations of Jung’s thoughts I’ve heard in a while: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CP1YOeNnZac

I agree with what Pattern Chaser says. The question is how you follow your own rules. I imagine some part of you is looking for an excuse to act as yo...

Yep. Simplistically speaking ‘consciousness’ is an inhibitory system over the more ‘base’ instincts - and I mean SIMPLISTICALLY! Our ability to make r...

I’m not entirely sure. ‘Truth’ doesn’t really come into though in manner I was thinking. From a personal perspective I guess I’ve been grappling with ...

Ah, okay! So the problem is then knowing where and when to ‘turn the other cheek’ and simply remain inactive? I don’t buy that “inaction is action” ar...

I meant this in societal terms regarding what is deemed as ‘correct’ or ‘incorrect’ behavior. If you eat with your left hand in some countries they’d ...

Because we’re they both refer to ways to live life in an emotional context alongside necessities (I guess what we’d be calling here more evolutionary ...

You seem to want to take everything said that you don’t agree with as a personal slight. I never ‘accused’ you. Note: I was still asking if I understo...

I’ll quietly cry myself to sleep tonight then ...

Boo-fucking-hoo! If you imagine a trap so be it. If you get that self-righteous bear trap off your foot I imagine you’d think you’re an enable walker ...

Nothing at all.

Without so-called ‘imperfection’ what is there left to behold?

I believe everything I have to say on this topic, in repsonse to this OP at least, is here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/5768/ethics-mora...

You appear to be saying obvious, and some dubious, things. What I am/(was?) missing is the question embedded in the OP. Needs and wants cannot be know...

I haven’t read much of Hume other than a few passing passages here and there and some comments on his work I’ve read in other philosophers work. Taken...

Explore. Including the exploration of the term ‘purpose’. A quote from Clive Barker’s Galilee, “we burn so hard yet shed so little light.” That just a...

From the first word to the last. I cannot make head nor tail of what your point is, if there is a point, or why I should care? I cannot even find some...

Nah! I don’t live in that world, and today’s world is certainly no more tolerant than the past.

Doesn’t make sense to me because I don’t understand what you’re saying.

Read it again. I’d highly recommend taking Orwell’s advice in your case and cutting out the use of words which we’ve collected from romance languages;...

I’ve just started reading a book by Charles Baudelaire, ‘The Painter of Modern Life’ which has the line “modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the...

Let e guide you by the hand and show you how to write: “You think I am being disingenuous” Yes, I do. That or you’re not even trying to be clear - laz...

I cannot ‘misconstrue’ what I haven’t read. I read some of what you wrote on the first page. It was clear you lacked clarity in both writing ad readin...

People enjoy freak shows. It makes them feel just about ‘normal’ enough. It’s clear enough to me the person in question is an attention seeker and/or ...

Different generation obviously! Haha!

Of course! I imagine most people have to some degree or another. My simplistic understanding is that sometimes it is best to hit the bottom in order t...

Take control. This requires change. When there is nothing left I think it is worth trying some drastic change in order to shake things up and then to ...

Generally speaking my impression is that US education is poor compared to European education. That said to lump all European countries together is a l...

Common experience would say the opposite. Today artists have greater independence in most fields and more flexibility in how they can sell their work....

It’s never been any different has it? If so what is your evidence compared to how the church funded artists in Europe?

And why does there need to be? It is like me asking you why you like this or that colour and then demanding a ‘reason’ for this. I write and draw thin...

Hubris how? Taken from the quote above it is not necessarily the intent of the artist to produce for the public - that is the point I was trying to ma...

I’m still struggling to understand our position and the issue you’re looking at? The internet has freed up artistic creativity, and other more obscure...
