The question though, is whether it is the horse-face that makes the knight or the moves he makes. Players don't like pieces that don't make the moves ...
Happy to slide on down. It's between him and his surgeon; How the Olympic committee resolves their issues is of no interest to me either. He'd probabl...
Draw your own line wherever you like, just don't tell me where to draw mine. If you're a plastic surgeon, you have to consider your ethics, but otherw...
If a simple world is possible, not much is necessary. In fact you have already made clear that all that is necessary for a possible world is that it o...
Your intolerance of boredom is symptomatic of the degenerate liberal hegemony exemplified by the mods. {five paragraphs of censored insults} So get us...
A bit of point missing going on here. One of the right things of which one should be proud was not 'being proud'. One of the things one should not lov...
The question arises in what esteem should one hold self-esteem? If self-esteem is esteemed, then having high self-esteem will lead to higher self-este...
Meanwhile, some jealous professor is writing our manifesto for us, poor chap. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273136063_A_Possible_Forum_for_...
Incidentally, I happened across the same picture except on this site the strawberries look grey to me. Has anyone checked out the actual image for act...
Anyway, I have definitely demonstrated the power of poetry. Strawberries are of course green, until they get the urge to be eaten, which is the plant'...
Looks more like pixels to me. And what's that thing under the bridge of pixels that looks like an upside down bridge? Is it a bridge made of water? We...
Indeed! And it is irrelevant that there were any pixels at all. The same meaning could be conveyed with brush strokes, finger-painting, or carved in t...
I'm seeing some pixels on my screen that you have indirectly put there. But seeing pixels is seeing nothing. With a bit of 'brain adjustment', I see w...
The dress wasn't both, but definitively whichever it was, I forget now. The particular image was ambiguous, not the dress itself. One does not often m...
Line 1 is a feeble joke. Line 2 is a serious question that you need to address, because the way you talk is as if the brain processes and adjusts, and...
Ah, the communal brain, what would we do without it? ;) What is seeing? Is it something other than the brain's processing of the eye's sensation? Ligh...
There is, it's my pov. From the pov of an astronomer, the stars are each as big and bright as the sun (approx). He does not cease to feel the warmth o...
Well no. When I look at blue pixels I see that they are blue, that's how I know they are blue. And when I look at strawberries, I see that they are re...
What I like about Hanover is his humility, his kindness and generosity to others, his gentle self-deprecating wit, his insightful and well reasoned ph...
"It takes one to know one, but opposites attract", said the pot to the kettle as they leapt together from the fire to the frying-pan. "But ignorance i...
The best it could possibly be is hologrammatical proof, not real or true proof. If one is in the desert, one might reasonably be anxious that the oasi...
I don't see how you can be definite about what you are not conscious of. But of course there is much one is not conscious of that varies from person t...
Like any other 'ism, Fascism is first and foremost a state of mind. I hope Mongrel will excuse my dissection: There is no need to sharply differentiat...
It's a stupid game, this. The sign doesn't mention Trump, and my post doesn't mention Trump, and the sign says Early warning signs. Many of these sign...
It's not a definition, its a list of warning signs. If you got one, don't panic; if you got them all, don't complace. Like blood in your stools might ...

Absolutely. Parents shouldn't vomit in front of their children. Moderators, on the other hand absolutely should model productive and respectful disagr...
Try this for size. What one might realise at some point is the distinction between internal and external. One does not have in one's possession an int...
By an odd coincidence, I raised the issue of moderation quite recently. This was Empty's contribution to my thread: Perhaps he thought he had bought h...
If one can speak objectively of human subjectivity, then it seems to follow that there is something generic about it. One might say that the contents ...
I think this is metaphysics: the world is under no obligation to conform itself to our talk; therefore we had best conform our talk to the world, to t...
I actually prefer to dismantle reason, over dismantling the world. That talk and theory and reason is in the end inadequate to the world is relatively...
My understanding is that this is definitive. It locates facts as physical, worldly affairs rather than linguistic. Statements of fact are statements a...
Yes. It is necessarily an act of empathic imagination, but actually not only that. Because I can ask you what you find engaging and thought provoking,...
I don't disagree with that decision, as I have already said. And since the decision was made after I started this thread, it is not the case that "we'...
The subject is governance. The feedback I am giving is that the governance of the forum, like the governance of many places in the world is failing. I...
Do you really think so? I thought he might have a point too, and that is why I responded. I'm quite amenable to having differences of opinion. There i...
The original intention was much wider than just this board. There is an ongoing global issue about freedom of speech; the backlash against political c...
