I'm a bit like @"Wayfarer" in not reading Nietzsche. However, I don't dismiss him because I find him not to my liking. I have tried and failed to read...
Pattern Recognition as the Essence of Philosophy I'll take a quick early morning stab at this... What is meant by the 'essence' of something? The prop...
Thanks for posting Zucchero's 'Wonderful Life' :sparkle: Of course, life isn't always wonderful but music can make it so, for a moment at least. The l...
Thank you both for your replies. Illuminating in their own way. I have no wish to disrupt this thread any further, so I won't comment on everything me...
Lovely, thanks. But I didn't find it relaxing. Too intent on watching the physical movements of speech and wondering about the communication. Fascinat...

I disagree. The stakes are high for some TPF participants whose beliefs are questioned. You just have to look at all the theist v atheist discussions....
Ah well, that raises other questions and at least one eyebrow :brow: Why some 'dogmatic types' come to TPF is not so much about learning 'how to inter...
What a Sunday Sinner you are :naughty: So many damned distractions. I need to return and revive my dead relis. I would like to write at least one stor...
It was a pleasure and I'm glad you have replied to one of my speculations. I wish more would do that. I reckon that: 1. All authors should return to t...

I doubt it. Even thinking of spending less time on TPF. I have been distracted from a project I really need to get on with. Then again: 'Nothing is Fo...
I've noticed some do it simply to refer back to what they've said in other discussions. Perhaps to save time ? If you are referring to: https://thephi...
Thanks again to all who left appreciative comments and mentions. Thought I'd pick this one out. Cos, if I remember correctly, @"tim wood" thought not ...

How do you think that the 'Shoutbox' does that ? It's just a long thread of rambling nonsense. If there is a particular vulnerability there, I don't s...
Right. I'm not sure that 'Shoutbox' does that. But whatever... I think a newcomer wants to feel welcome and know how best to enter the discussions. To...
