What I mind about is up to me. You are clearly not listening. Repeating your claims when I, and others, have addressed them is a waste of time and ene...

Never mind, eh. So many isms, so little time...

If anyone is interested in Massimo Pigliucci's article on Hume: https://howtobeastoic.wordpress.com/2016/04/22/david-hume-the-skeptical-stoic/

Yes, I understand the concern. To avoid overload, couldn't you include a link to the Resources section. I am not sure that posters visit this section ...

You are right, there will always be controversy in defining what 'good' is. There is nothing banal about considering how to live as well as we can, cu...

Excellent critique with advice for improvement. I think this more detailed information should be attached to the general 'Site Guidelines' thread, so ...

I will copy my previous post from the Guest Speaker section where posters have the opportunity to pose questions to Massimo Pigliucci: @"Bartricks" Ha...

So, is it true that Stoics think grief is irrational ? Where is your evidence for this ? Stoics look at natural facts. The philosophy is evidence-base...

That sounds fair. Thanks again :smile:

You have made this as open as you can. However, I think that people will inevitably feel disappointed, especially if they have taken time to prepare a...

Hey, that's fine by me. I was done anyway. I won't be creating a separate thread. Thanks.

All of this requires quite a bit of energy, doesn't it ? Be good to yourself :sparkle:

Hi Wallows - I don't intend to compete with this excellent set of questions. However, I'd like to comment on what you've written so far, if that's OK....

OK, understood.

I am not sure how this is supposed to work :chin: People will have questions but not necessarily in the form of an OP. Is the idea to start several di...

:up: Thanks to you and team for all of this. An excellent introduction which covers an almost overwhelming amount of material. There is something ther...

Yes, I know. Thanks to @"Baden" :smile:

Now you are back, welcome. Sounds like you want an effective way to argue. It is unfortunate that some people who rely on faith alone without recourse...

Nay. Horse declines the invitation. Nobody fuckin' cares :rage:

Oh hang on...just had a wicked thought :naughty: How about having the competition along ? Rick and Anja From Philosophy Now :cool:

Excellent :up: As to more suggestions, I think I've done my bit. Over to others...

Yeah, for sure, life experience can teach us a lot. Our being here is part of that exploration. If you have read any dead philosopher's works then you...

Ah, OK - that sounds good. So, everything in writing - no chance of being a movie star...

Yes, it is unfortunate that there are some who put a downer on a potential uplift. My school motto was 'Surgo in lucem'. I rise into the light. Never ...

One way to engage with Massimo Pigliucci - an interview article followed by questions. @"jamalrob" @"Baden" - what are your thoughts so far ? A possib...

I wondered why you zoomed in on @"Ciceronianus the White" in particular and then noticed a thread I missed: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/...

If this is the case, then all the more reason to discuss it. It is clearly a vital issue. Get it out in the open. The evidence shows that there is a d...

As to a potential interview format, and how difficult it might be - here is Zizek: https://highprofiles.info/interview/slavoj-zizek/ A full list of in...

How do you expect to grow and develop ? Who would you listen to ? What questions might you have ?

Utter nonsense. This is not about a fight or a game. It is about listening to someone who has a special interest and experience in their field. Or it ...

This is wonderful of you. You have given this much thought; your questions reflect your knowledge. I look forward to hearing what others have to say. ...

You make good points. I think I would broaden it out to female philosophers. The likes of Mary Midgley who passed away on 10th October 2018. Interview...

Massimo fantastico tweets: Philosophy Day is on Thursday, 21 November! This year’s event feature at CCNY: Ben Vilhauer on “Taking free will skepticism...

Great that you have this informal contact. However, I think you should post this suggestion in the thread: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/7...

Do you translate German ? This is the poem I think I must have been reminded of. By Goethe: Wanderer's Nightsong II Über allen Gipfeln Ist Ruh, In all...

Leopardi. I had never heard of. However, wiki has given me an inkling. Do you have a special interest in him - or do you just go around translating an...

Understood.

Why ? Who would you suggest ?

So to get back to my burning question... I'm guessing that your favoured Guest Speaker would be...Orson Scott Card ? Or who else...one of the actors ?...

So...I have no idea of most productive format. I'm sure admin have a few ideas... I think an initial interview by a knowledgeable, experienced person ...

Prego :cool: Even if the 'Guest Speaker' thing doesn't take off, it would still be great to hear of live and fascinating movers and shakers, philosoph...

I love this. It reminds me of some other translated piece I read a few years ago. Might even have talked about it on another forum. Unfortunately I am...

Well, not a lot of people know that :gasp: I'm not on Facebook, do you think he would enjoy coming here as a guest speaker ? Who would you choose to s...

How about a brief encounter with Massimo Pigliucci ? According to @"Wallows" Massimo likes ducks, a lot. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/697...
