I don't remember that being the question. I thought it was some people moaning about the kids these days. Some people think you're a bit of a dick - g...
Oh dear! Maybe that thread should be closed, if it is such a problem? Or maybe people who are over-sensitive should go somewhere else? Or possibly, mo...
Yes please! One only knows one has a conscience when it carries some weight. It is one of the difficulties of being very nearly perfect. Or to put it ...
C.G. Jung „The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious In other words, these people are manifesting the symptoms of our insanity; there is no "one" ...
Not different at all. Clearly, the incel has failed to deploy the Tic Tacs. Or, just possibly, he has deployed the Tic Tacs, and they failed to do wha...
All I see here is the epistemological frame. How does one identify the 'right frame', when the frame is what establishes what is right? I thought Bann...
Pigs are cool. Pigs are jolly, sensible, friendly, intelligent folk with no 'side'. Chicken are fine in their way, but they tend towards paranoia, and...
It does seem as though folks fall into a a response of agree or disagree, as though that conceptual frame (my understanding is that frames are concept...
Thought I'd just leave this here where @"StreetlightX" won't find it. https://www.academia.edu/36644050/HORROR_VACUI_THE_MEANING_CRISIS_OF_THE_GLOBALI...
With only one pillar in your psychology/philosophy, you are a solipsist. That is Posty's sad condition - one can never relax on a shooting stick. If t...
Dude, assuming rational self interest is assuming no love at all. They are opposed. One might have children to ensure someone to change one's nappy in...
Perhaps we all have a right to be fed and housed, and when there is a society where everyone is reliably fed and housed, it might start to make sense ...
Not a transaction, not a deal, but a gift. Love is what it's all about, it is an overflowing, it is a passion, the passion. Love is taking pains, and ...
If anyone is interested in exploring race a little more, Patricia Williams' Reith lectures are very good, and probably available elsewhere if the BBC ...
Right. So when you said ... ... you should have said "On average, "as a group" will be followed by some prejudiced comment.". I'll forgive you this ti...
What about "generally"? does that follow the same rule? If I say "Generally, men are stronger than women", does that allow for Poor Baden and Steven H...
If I say, 'men as a group are stronger than women as a group', am I saying that every man is stronger than every woman? I feel as though I am invoking...
Shitty actors and royals; they're in your face all the fucking time. That makes them family. https://news.sky.com/video/dont-mention-the-wedding-to-em...
No worries, dude. It just struck me as one of those liberal sounding phrases, and I wondered if it actually meant something liberal. Our family saying...
But obviously you don't honour my opinion if you think I am wrong. You honour my right to my opinion - but what does that mean? I have my opinion alre...
I'm just going to have to come out and say this. Some families are strange, and some strangers are stranger than other strangers. Equating race and fa...
Nice move there from black and white to family and strangers. You make it so fucking acceptable that I can't help thinking there must be life in that ...
You don't, obviously, but I do and have. I'm not thanking you though, or thanking the Klan, I'm thanking @"T Clark" for exactly not doing what you hav...
Well I know it's not all that common usage, but personally, I like to distinguish between racism, the ideology, and racial prejudice, the human condit...
Dude, wanting comes really cheap, but peace has a higher price than either side thinks they can afford. As Tweedledum and Tweedledee said, "there is n...
If the correct answer is 25%, then the correct answer is 50%. If the correct answer is 50% or 60% then the correct answer is 25% Therefore, the correc...
Self definition v other definition. Other definition: If the Nazis decide you are a Jew, it makes no odds what you think you are, it's off to the conc...
We, you and I, are on the same side, which is the side of the angels, and the side of humanity. That's what everyone thinks. So when we disagree, and ...
But as you say, it is exactly the scope of 'universalist principles' that is at issue. Whether or not 'all men' includes women, blacks, Palestinians, ...
Can I unpack this just a little? Let's say that ego is a centre of identification. I am... a philosopher, a husband, a Scotsman, a fine fellow, etc. M...
Don't be deceived by appearances. Once I have trained my guard dogs, I don't need to patrol my domain in person, any more than the rich and powerful n...
So let's suppose that there is a conflict between big-enders and little-enders about how to eat a boiled egg. And let's assume that both sides are equ...
Neither. I see it rather like being a teenager: a fucked up phase one has to get through on the way from sensible childhood to sensible adulthood. But...
Yes. There are forces that give importance to these bits of metal and paper, such that the individual cannot find food or shelter without them. I like...
Sometimes folks do not do what they ought to do, and thus what ought to be is not. Given that what ought to be cannot reliably be found in the world, ...
I always find it odd that folks who like, " you can't get an 'ought' from an 'is'," can't accept "you can't get a 'will be' from a 'has been'," - and ...
