I agree. There is no need. Keep it simple. The plan is good to go! :up: :cool:

:smile: Looking forward to June 1st... Good luck to everyone! :cool: :flower:

Thanks for sharing that. I didn't know of it. You are right. Music does help. Topic for an essay? :wink: Here's - One (Songs of Surrender) https://www...

I hope your essay writing goes well and you don't become too anxious about it. It's not worth worrying over or becoming fearful of it getting lost. Th...

Thanks for the Happy wishes and the reminder: Your honesty is admirable in sharing the difficulties encountered in hosting a new TPF challenge. I hope...

Hah! I'll leave that up to you and your creative questioning...

No, nay, nivver ! :scream: As long as TPF survives. All is well. :wink: :cool:

You called? :smile: I'd like to read what GPT4-o had to say about your story The Lark, and any others. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/15637...

I think I've said all I ever want to on the subject. Now, to get on with my heavenly creation. Peace :pray:

I am saying that rule Guideline 4 and other aspects of the OP can be improved upon. I was involved with this and it was done quickly to meet the deadl...

To clarify, this event is about 'Philosophy Writing'. So, that is the 'broad category'. Here's something that might clarify, perhaps inspire: So, the ...

This is an unfortunate interpretation of the challenge deliberately entitled: *** Yes. The OP was edited because some requested help, specifically wit...

Thank you for questioning. I agree that an academic philosophy essay tends to have this formal structure and aim. And I look forward to reading contri...

Have you tried Google Scholar? You can type in your topic or a concept in the Search box: https://scholar.google.com/ Or:

Well don't! Philosophy writing is wider and brighter. It still needs a structure like any story but that you can do. For some reason, I was thinking o...

Wow. You have been busy! :sparkle: Yes. Learning not only about the essay topic but 'how to write an academic philosophy essay'. :up: Seems like a wel...

Hey there! It's the last day in March. Only 61 days to go. :monkey: :smile: You continue to raise interesting questions and perspectives. I hope your ...

You are quite right. Unfortunately, given Musk's position it is difficult to keep Trump out of it.

Very well said. It is independent journalism. The Guardian reports the latest news from the UK, America, and around the world, from different perspect...

A good topic for an essay.

Musk and his global influence. Increasing violent far-right hatred. As well as racism, hatred in these far-right groups is also directed at LGBTQ+ peo...

Increase in pace of radicalisation amongst young, white males. Notable changes re age and profile.

As you know, a clear distinction is found in academia. However, the line is blurry and there is much overlap. I immediately think of Stoicism and CBT:...

:smile: Yeah, baby! Covered in ice-cream and a splashing of strawberry sauce. "Bon appetit." :yum: :party:

OK. It seems you have it all under control. Best wishes! :sparkle: :flower:

Really? Oh dear. From all your posts, it seems you have a good enough understanding. It is not necessary, or even desired, to write the perfect, acade...

@"Jamal" - Your flash fiction is excellent. Do you think you could be a flash philosopher? I hope other TPF short story writers will take part...chill...

Hey there. You keep coming up with ideas for an essay. How are you getting on with yours?

Hmm. Yes. Aphorisms are clearly too short to be an essay but they still contain philosophical meaning and can be expanded on. What are the concerning ...

Thank you! Excellent video (19mins) showing the importance of structure, as in making a case to convince a 'jury'. Important if you are a lawyer repre...

I think it is a silly claim and not one I will be making! However, this surprisingly lengthy piece about the Beatles song is fascinating: https://en.w...

I like the idea of an essay in two halves. or even 4 quarters and a bit. Is it true that 'All you need is love'? First half - the academic structure s...

Are you sure about that? :chin: I'm reminded of the 'flash fiction' or micro fiction of the short story competition. A few from Dec 2022: Sundae, Bloo...

Yes. To read again, for inspiration: Plato’s Cave & Social Media Seán Radcliffe asks, has Plato’s Allegory of the Cave been warning us of social media...

You have a max of 5,000 words. Stop looking for excuses! Write as if you were starting a thread, think of a head-bangin' OP, expand and chill out :pra...

Yes. A celebration of creative minds and a mix of ideas. To write or read something that might slant you from your usual viewpoint. A topic not 'origi...

Of course, you can use your imagination to discuss or explore 'Imagination' or 'Creativity' any way you want. You are interested in Art and Music and ...

Hey, yes! I've found it is easy to swerve from one topic to another in the middle of doing the research. Research is, of course, never wasted - it jus...

Be happy. Take care! :hearts: :sparkle:

:cool: :smile: 'All I've got to do' reminded me of George Harrison's Blow Away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNetfJQ9HAs Reading Harrison's book I,...

Good to see you back! :smile: Thanks for your support and encouragement. You've been missed. Terribly. June 1st is just around the corner... Wishing e...

I would add: Listen to what people are saying about their concerns and problems. Then, act to show you care and will support them, in real terms. Gras...

Thank you @"Christoffer" and @"BC" for the Q&A about opposition activism and messaging. I hope you don't mind but it is relevant to my thread and have...

Hey. I think that it is clear where Amadeus is coming from. For him, there is no crisis. End of. Well, not quite. The description of 'most people' exa...

Keep feeding the little winged creatures on your window sill. Stay strong, dear friend. :pray: :flower:

PS I forgot to ask: Why do you think it unlikely? There are many reasons. No matter...

I didn't respond to this part of your post. Perhaps because I agreed. Friends I speak with share feelings of frustration and powerlessness. And shrug....

No. It is not only about feelings but a welcome personal insight. No facts or statistics necessary. To backtrack, Vera was responding to my question: ...

Earlier I posted a YouTube version of Joan Baez singing 'We Shall Overcome'. It is a powerful song but the setting here was vanilla. A young white aud...
