Therein lies the lie. That is NOT how the concept of “god” is generally used. If your definition of “god” is accepted everyone knows there is a “god”....
First off, he certainly didn’t conceal his appreciation of Husserl - B&T was dedicated to Husserl. I am going to reread B&T sometime this year (I hope...
Thanks. I think I see what you’re saying, and it is quite possible my view differs from Husserl’s or I’ve misunderstood him - for the better. It’s a t...
All I’ve ever asked for is a coherent definition of Dasein. No one, to date, has been able to point to the text and link up his multiple applications ...
There’s gotta be a joke in there somewhere! Make your own punchline folks. :razz: Here’s something related: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/newsr...
I think this is enough to question the claim of a democratic vote: I concede the to the bulk of your argument though given that if they hadn’t been th...
Close, but no cigar! ;) From wiki too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enabling_Act_of_1933 Stopping people from voting by threat/violence, or by alre...
There is no debate? He didn’t get democratically elected. Saying “democracy gone wrong” insinuates he was democratically elected. Hopefully that misco...
Yes. But it wasn’t democracy that got him into power. It was the removal of all opponents parties so it’s not exactly “democratic” when you have a cho...
Maybe we could start a thread on the concept of “Dasein”? The main one would be the definition (or rather lack of) of the term “dasein”. I’ve asked fo...
You’d have to provide some pretty convincing evidence to back up that claim! All I’m saying is you shouldn’t ignore the critique simply because you ha...
Show me Foucault’s scientific research then. You cannot do this because he didn’t do any because he wasn’t a scientist. His work is generally opinion ...
Not true. He exposes some of the possible faults. His theory of economics is another thing altogether, it is a case of baby and bathwater. Just becaus...
I disagree, plain and simple. Heidegger was a hack. Try reading Husserl before you get carried away. Note: Heidegger said nothing much that Husserl ha...
I’m hoping you used italics to suggest what Foucault did wasn’t scientific - because what he produced was historical opinionated prose. To call it sci...
To be clear ... I wasn’t saying this. I was stating what I recall Peterson saying about Foucault; as I said “rightly or wrongly” that appeared to be h...
I’m not so sure this wasn’t gone over? I believe the point was the focus on use of power, and viewing society as oppressed versus oppressor? That was ...
No thanks. I’m sure it sounds superficially appealing to many others though. I’ve faced death - seriously - head on. Once you accept it and work past ...
All I’m saying is if I found out I’d live for eternity I’d be SERIOUSLY pissed! Sounds like a oneway road to insanity to me. You’ll find that a great ...
It’s pretty damn hard not to if you stay in the continuum! Even once the change stops I’ll not be able to let you know so why concern yourself? Anyway...
My responses are part tongue in cheek :P Seriously though, I don’t think we’ve formed - or simply attended to - concepts that are universal enough to ...
Typical sack of bacteria response! You been at the hamburgers again or was it those pesky bacterium pulling your puppet strings? What are the figures ...
Of course insert Zizek jokes and that was quite a good summary! Haha! Maybe they’ll be more. The most eerie bit was when Peterson referred to the “vio...
The data is data. How we feel about us irrelevant. That’s all I was saying. The aim of the scientist is to approach the data free of emotional bias. I...
Good for a test of concentration and patience if nothing else. He’s someone I’ll have to pay attention to in the future in order to almost fully dismi...
What can I say ... I decide on charity of interpretation here and there. In the sense I mentioned it is a justifiable claim to say that emotions serve...
I could just as easily argue that having “guns” makes us grow up quickly and take ethical questions more seriously given than missteps could potential...
I watched it all the way through. At least Zizek managed to be more concise than usual, whilst Peterson didn’t really seem to add much new to what he’...
From a reductionist position (which science is generally inclined toward) it is perfectly non-shocking to view emotions as redundant if we’re looking ...
Generally speaking that has next to nothing to do with the modern theory of evolution. The term was not coined by Darwin either (just in case you thou...
Well, on a global scale the UK is certainly on the low end of the scale in regards to pollution, traffic and danger. Most people never really get the ...
There are numerous studies, where some here assume there are none, on the investigation of morality in a neurological sense: https://scholar.google.co...
For the sake of perspective in the UK, and most of Europe, the traffic is not that bad, the pollution is relatively low, overcrowding is as good a non...
We’re, or at least myself, not equating people with the legalities of the institutions they live under. Of course many cultures have gone through cert...
Maybe you conveniently omit the important point? The article you posted shows that this is an illegal act and that life sentences are being proposed f...
It makes no difference what you see or claim. It is a case of anthropological history. The western world’s foundation is Judeo-Christian and that is a...
When it comes to general public treatment regarding sexual identity the west is still very under the shadow of a Christian based sexual repression - b...
I’m not pretending. I’m just curious about your thoughts and who the worst people are? You did at least say “little sympathy” so I imagine you accept ...

1% on what scale? You’re right ask about context so it’d help if you gave some regarding whether you think the 1% matters on a nation, international, ...
