Plato on Eros and Friendship What does that even mean? To converse elenctically...especially on a philosophy forum? I know who to ask, but will my fri...

On cutting opinion without tears, I mentioned the Principle of Charity Marcus seems to have talked the talk but not walked the walk. Why should I have...

There's no source given in the article and I haven't found one which says to leave opinions alone. It's not in my Penguin, Martin Hammond translation,...

For sure. Sometimes. Including cutting as analysis with sharp knife. As well as those who make cutting remarks. For better or worse. So it goes. Thank...

Putting a spoonful of salt into a cup of water might make it undrinkable but it can still be a good, bring medicinal benefits as in e.g. a gargle. Eve...

Clever. Pretenders Got Brass in Pocket. No doubt.

It is unlikely that Jamal will publicly share any of the reasons Wayfarer gave for his leaving TPF. Not even privately, unless with permission. I too ...
August 20, 2022 at 14:48
Yes. Thanks for letting us know. It does seem serious. I note that he has removed all the information and links about him; a highly talented, thoughtf...

Yes, I understand that any distressed individual requires close and careful attention. But it takes more than simply being there. And it does involve ...
August 19, 2022 at 14:31
Interesting. Do you have an example to support your impression of the effect of the reincarnation belief? Perhaps taking care of any kind of life in t...
August 19, 2022 at 14:09
Yeah, I know dat cause you effected that in my GC :sparkle:
August 19, 2022 at 13:34
Of course :rofl:
August 19, 2022 at 12:24
That is a quick, easy and basic definition; virtually meaningless. There is more to it than that. There is also the element of justice determining who...

Yes, that's Greek philosophy and CBT, I understand. Where is the connection with Karma?
August 19, 2022 at 09:20
If it were up to me, I'd ban the Bannings thread :naughty: Drama queens, the lot of you!
August 19, 2022 at 09:05
Thank you. That has given me something to think about. The pleasure angle I hadn't considered. I'd been thinking along the lines of banking of good de...
August 19, 2022 at 08:24
That was fun. So did you guess what the couple were up to? Zoological research, that's whot. Yep :nerd:
August 19, 2022 at 07:17
Wow. A whole nine minutes. And nothing exciting happened on the platform? How weird! You coulda just made up a story... :razz:
August 19, 2022 at 06:47
Well, at least I now know that you know what you don't know. Is there anything else that you know that you don't know that I should know? :smirk: Neve...
August 18, 2022 at 20:30
You don't know your woo? I was counting on you :groan:
August 18, 2022 at 20:16
And that's what I find troubling. When people only do good for some future reward, not for 'good in itself'. And some are judged as deserving of their...
August 18, 2022 at 12:50
Damn it. I forget to mention concerns re: "Memory Wars". The attempts to influence a nation's collective memory. Politicians disputing a particular ev...
August 18, 2022 at 08:33
Well done you and @"Hanover" for keeping this thread clear, relevant and a worthwhile read. Remarkable patience being shown in some increasingly aggre...
August 18, 2022 at 08:03
Is that in the article, the BTL comments or elsewhere? I've just re-read the article and can't remember that being covered. BTL someone suggests verba...

You've plenty of time to change your mind :wink: I want to have no fuss or funeral. But... I have thought about the music. I love Zoom. https://www.yo...

I'm delighted to say I've developed tele-path-ic powers. I noticed a young man walking uphill towards me, head down probably checking his mobile. Usua...
August 17, 2022 at 18:04
To be honest, I didn't give it my complete attention, as is obvious. Interesting. I've seen that happen when an author has a book to sell. Oh look-see...
August 17, 2022 at 16:09
Absolutely :100: Why do you think I came back? Seriously seeking attention, not. Well, not much :roll: But to take care of GC. Glad you read the artic...
August 17, 2022 at 14:55
Who are the attention seekers? Our probable next PM. Already making trouble. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/aug/02/liz-truss-dismissal-of-a...

The thing is with: Appreciate your thoughts. I wasn't in any physical pain. Unless as part of the brain strain, of being human. 'I can't stand the pai...
August 16, 2022 at 09:33
Hah. Show-off! :clap: A brilliant example of TPF being this kind of forum. Filo, Fun, Fizziks and Fireworks for Free! :fire:
August 16, 2022 at 08:19
If nobody responds here, then: Suggest you type 'physicist' into the search box or go search the Phil. of Science sub-forum. Or if you ask in the Shou...
August 15, 2022 at 21:28
:cool: I think that's @"Hanover"'s place. Pretty sure I caught sight of one of his goats. Better not go there...
August 15, 2022 at 12:47
I haven't read it. Not to my taste when published but strangely enough had just been thinking of it when the attack happened. As to how it reads, like...
August 15, 2022 at 12:29
Yes. And I love seeing and hearing how strong or not-so-strong songs have an impact. The powerful Pink Floyd compared to the softer Lesley Duncan. Les...
August 15, 2022 at 12:21
It's 'We Are Not Alone'. Important not to commatise it, I think. I discovered it after re-visiting and being inspired by @"Benkei"'s Short Story (Comp...
August 15, 2022 at 12:15
Yes. And from the same BBC article, the sickening: Absolutely disgusting. What can be done about it? Mr Blinken had earlier denounced Iran's state ins...
August 15, 2022 at 11:25
I know we are travelling away from the initial OP but I think it's worthwhile to view in the greater context: (Mods @"Hanover" not sure about splittin...
August 15, 2022 at 10:13
OK. Perhaps they don't like 'hypothetically'... Perhaps try the question out here? As a thought experiment...
August 15, 2022 at 09:37
I've been following this informative and thought-provoking thread. Thanks @"Hanover" I had wondered when anyone would start talking about the attack a...
August 15, 2022 at 09:17
Posting this again, with video. This is Love. I woke up with this in my ears and on my mind. Thinking about how it would be if we concentrated more on...
August 15, 2022 at 08:01
:grin: Go on. You know you want to :cool:
August 15, 2022 at 07:30
Wonderful :clap: Now write the book. Travels with a Russian Spy :wink:
August 15, 2022 at 07:27
What? You a big lummox and feartie? :brow:
August 15, 2022 at 07:25
Sounds almost like my cuppa tea. Never heard of vidalia onion but I understand that it is sweet. Also wondered about Italian noodles. Do you mean past...
