Amity

A Wallows might not need thanks but an Amity needs to send them; sealed with a K.I.S.S. :wink: @"boethius" gave some good advice, including this: Here...

1. What is it to me ? Initially I spent time and effort engaging with Wallows because I care and because I want to help. Like many others here. The th...

Thanks for answering all my questions. Best wishes :up:

Yes, indeed. Real Hard Work. @"fdrake" must have felt a real sense of achievement. Hope y'all had a sparkling party :party: Many Congrats to All the T...

Gonzo - as in gonzo journalism.

Would it help to have people suggest who they would like to listen to ? If you couldn't get hold of a guest speaker who would wish to be here, then ho...

Posting styles aren't always fixed to either extreme. The same person can use a different voice or text depending on interest and context. Frustration...

Just found the Who and What of a formal debate :wink: Now, the next question: How ?

Right. So, if you managed to write an article in an afternoon this should be easy-peasy. Just make it so :cool: 1. I had a look at the Debate section....

I have read it again. This time I paid more attention to the examples you provided regarding Objections to Evidence and Reasoning. From the latter: Th...

Articles, Essays or Reviews. That would be good. A Book Review article might act as a complement to the 'Reading Groups' section. Then again...

Yes. I hadn't heard of this before and have had to read it a few times. Still not completely sure of it. Yes. You can be your own best 'enemy'. Yes. A...

Thanks for that excellent read. My fuller response there :smile:

It is more than useful, it is bloody brilliant. My original request can be found here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/22/currently-reading/...

That's a shame. However, I understand the need to keep personal stuff separate. God knows you don't want to be deluged by fan mail :hearts: Look forwa...

Didn't know that. Is there a link to this on TPF ?

You guys :roll: Excellent :up: Make it so, number one. Well, not really and please don't. While I enjoy the lists of current reads, I like it even mor...

I agree wholeheartedly. This episode shocked me more than I can say. This should be played back along with images of that Lying Tory. Go viral. It see...

Ah, OK - so you provide professional editing services for all sorts. Consider me even more impressed. Had a quick look at Turabian. I note that it is ...

Such as ? Do you really need them - I thought you already a talented writer and educator ?

Sologamy The power of ownship. Self-partnership.

Thanks for the peek into your travel bag :smile: Community is fine, as is mutual understanding. It is how we reach understanding, if not consensus, th...

I was trying to understand what you meant by 'intellectual generosity'. I should have stopped with that one question. But my mind took me to the other...

Interesting. What do you mean by 'intellectual generosity' ? What would you say is 'a hallmark of this forum' ? Intellectual selfishness ?

1. Why ? 2. Why ? 3. Why ? 4. Why ? 3. A wider perspective might help. Integrating the bigger, real world so as to inspire more interesting questions....

Wallows has been asking for and receiving advice for as long as. He has been around long enough to know and predict all the likely replies. You made s...

Substantive post worthy of a separate thread so it doesn't get lost in this tangle. Will save it for a later chew over. Currently taking time out for ...

I am not sure that issues such as labelling and intolerance are particularly 'foreign'. They are part of human nature. However, when they are increasi...

:smile: That would be me. And yes, it is unimportant not because you are unimportant but because I am not affected by it. When a child is labelled as ...

I don't know. What do you think ? Does the label matter ? Arguably, the contempt for and attacks on democratic institutions, the rule of law; inciteme...

As do I and many others. So, what can be done ? I've been reading Snyder. Amongst other things, he advises 1:1 conversation. I have tended not to enga...

So, I haven't returned to the Ch4 interview to check that out, yet. However, I have looked more into what Snyder has to say, and his background. Here ...

Next movie starts soon...

Yes. But who are the 'elites' ? Parliamentarians, the representatives, are supposed to speak for the electorate.They are being attacked by another kin...

I meant to address this part earlier but ran out of steam :smile: I like the 'yet'. I think the point is that there are fascist elements and trends. D...

And more of the consequences of a Trump phone call: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/oct/11/trump-deal-erdogan-lethal-consequences-ukrai...

There is some overlap with the Trump thread which speaks to his behaviour. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/2928/donald-trump-all-general-tru...

Exactly. Well said.

This article which includes links is worthy of a read. However, it's not just a written account, there is an embedded video ( 2.48 mins ) of the 'high...

That will probably happen anyway. Win or lose. Unfettered absolute power is something else altogether...

A scary scenario indeed. But not for those who would say it is God's Will.

Exactly this.

The trouble comes when a policy is then doubled down into a stronger, nastier tasting concentrate. Then, each party can blame the other for starting i...

And the venomous snake bit the woman in more ways than one with the final line: ''Oh be quiet you silly woman ! You knew I was a snake before you took...

That might be so. It still wasn't clever...

Following questions by Krishnan Guru-Murthy on how people feeling helpless about Brexit can engage,Timothy Snyder made a few practical suggestions as ...

Yes. It totally backfired on her. She has to live with that line; that act of stupidity which turned the undecideds towards Trump. The utter disdain s...

Yes. All good questions.

I think that is what is happening here in the UK. People will vote for what seems to be the least bad option, on looks alone. It's all about the perso...
