Thanks for providing a well-considered and informed analysis. A post of substance. Including UK politics and economic issues of decline and where that...
History of appeasement. Psychology. Dictators are never satisfied with concessions or deals. They want more. European and Global expansion is in their...
Yes. Past, persistent protests changed the status quo. At a hefty price. And all of these gains are being destroyed with a wholesale ripping up of rig...
I had to check out what you meant by PO1135809. I know that the US President is a criminal, but didn't realise that he was given an inmate number. Unf...
How true is that? Who said it? Is it just a good soundbite used by Bush/Obama? It begs a few questions: Who is 'We', who are the 'terrorists', what do...
Yes but now the slow boiled frog is damned near cooked. The trend is war and defence. Already, big smiles and profits for defence companies and the ar...
Yes. Too much to deal with? I bolded the list of 'perceived threats'. We could address them one by one. And see where it takes us. Migrants: 'Get Brex...
The question I asked was 'real', about the future and pragmatic hopes. Not based on wishful fantasy. Identifying real solutions to real problems. Not ...
Exactly. And it was all part of a well-laid plan. I think that is easier said than done. There will always be differences. If it hasn't worked in the ...
Yes. But it has been happening for years. A slow boil. Here, in the UK, we have Nigel Farage and the party he founded or purchased - 'Reform UK'. Lead...
I disagree. It has very much engaged the Europeans. It is viewed as a Crisis, a major turning point. With this in mind, I have started a new thread: h...
The links provided are only a few from all that is available. People will use whatever suits them. I know from the Lit. Activity that @"Christoffer" h...
Some university sites are worth checking out. But possibly a bit too much and off-putting? From Southampton Uni: Posing the Question - An Academic Gui...
I agree. It's why I originally suggested a single topic for all to chew over. Like 'Imagination'. However, an open choice gives more flexibility and w...
@"Moliere" I posted this earlier and in the original discussion. Perhaps, it would be an idea to include in the OP? Or simply cut to the chase ? *** F...
There is. It's called 'Feedback'. I doubt any mods, present, past or future would use it to complain. There would seem to be an element of loyalty and...
Thanks for quick reply and clarification. Appreciated, as always. Whatever you do with your new time, enjoy the day. Take care. Be well. :sparkle: :fl...
And your status as 'Admin'? Are you moving on from that as well? What on earth is going on? Baden seems to have given up the ghost, too? Is it a 10yr ...
A follow-up to @"unenlightened"'s music choice. I've No More F****s To Give: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/967306 The simple uke a...
Not sure about the happy aspect but, yeah, the uke can bring a gentle simplicity to life. A clear tone and voice of sense and absurdity. Humour in the...
Hello. I wrote that on page 1. At the end of my longer response to @"Count Timothy von Icarus"'s substantive post, here: https://thephilosophyforum.co...
Hi there. It's so good to hear this, thank you! We're not allowed to talk specifics... ....but...do you have something in mind already? Right now, my ...
To @"Moliere" I'll leave it here, for now. I've said more than enough. Don't want to bore the pants off everybody. I hope that we hear from other voic...
A personal anecdote. My first academic essay. Once upon a time... In't days before t'internet. In an institution preparing students to be teachers. Wr...
:smile: :cool: I think most will appreciate the inclusive and welcoming approach taken. I understand the desire for rule flexibility so as to encourag...
Well, I did not know that. Yes, indeed. Erm...I celebrate each and every day. With a big YAY! to @"Jamal", team and members. What date in October? I'l...
Yes. This kind of creative intrusion will certainly not always enhance the writing. But I think some authors/readers might appreciate a few links, eve...
I have a question as to the creative aspects and ways of an 'essay' as an 'attempt' to share ideas. Can we include more than just writing? Writing on ...
Yes. For this activity to work and be an enjoyable exercise for all, there is a need for flexibility. The guidelines reflect that, at the same time as...
Talking about Articles as an expression of philosophical ideas and a source of inspiration, here is one written by Seán Radcliffe. Reading an assortme...
:up: :cool: Maravilloso! Nuffink quite like the scent of inspiration in the morning...or any other time. Does the writing mood just strike when it lik...
Yes. There are many forms to choose from. Previously: *** Now, for a deeper dive into Literary Forms of Philosophy. A most fascinating and enlightenin...
