No I don't. I think it's a muddle. One can be a pawn in someone else's game, if someone else is using one for some purpose not one's own. But an unthi...
That's a bit dispiriting. If we cannot discuss without violence, then it seems unfair to complain that Freud and Jung cannot manage a talking therapy ...
Oh right. I start to see what you are getting at. Now can you say something in words about the nature of the violence, and how it hopefully differs fr...
Well I will tell you very very briefly why I prefer Jung to Freud and see if it matches in some way your 2 scenes. It seems to me that Freud is limite...
What do you want to discuss? I found the videos dull, and didn't bother to comment. I don't see the connection to Jung and Freud, but in other news, b...
I don't like the notion of free will. But it seems obvious that consciousness and the ability to think confers a great freedom of response that blind ...
I wonder if folks would be interested enough to lend an ear to Adrian Piper, artist, feminist, philosopher, harridan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
What argument? There is simply a declared globalisation of 'mechanism', itself another analogy that suggests, again, an agency, this time called a 'me...
And therefore an imaginary view, since genes do not have eyes or a viewpoint of any kind. But they do not really have a will to survive, a desire to p...
Even Dawkins himself admits under pressure, (and then ignores) that the selfish gene is a mere analogy; that genes have no will, no desire, and no vie...
Yes, that's what I thought. That is what patriarchy stands for, as you said. It is the male view that it is right for men to dominate, for men especia...
I understand you to be saying that womanly virtues are different from manly virtues in their expression; that women should behave differently than men...
And there you have it. It is immoral for a woman to be and do what it is a virtue for a man to be and do. And that is why, when you look around, you f...
What patriarchy is and what it stands for are entirely different things, in the same way that I stand for all the virtues, blah, blah, although I embo...
It's the norms of study that I have a beef with, along with the norms of training that come from them. The fact is we do mind being different, and we ...
... is a bit of a waste of time, like studying the existence of obvious differences between chalk and cheese. One might wonder at cheesemongers biggin...
Marcuse has long been on my ban list, but there is something odd in the title. It is almost as if there is something else that we are doing with langu...
They can indeed, and that is why science confirms them. But this does not make them innate. Your statistics would be relevant and possibly even correc...
Well I have a general critique of scientific psychology, as some will have noticed. There is a fundamental problem with all the statistics you bring f...
And here's a link for anyone who hasn't quite seen the connection between my threads, or whose paranoia level is a little low. https://antidotezine.co...
Suppose one agrees. So what? There have been no significant women genocidal dictators. Does this reflect an innate moral superiority, a universal fema...
It's a free country, you can say what you like. But if you talk crap it muddies the waters, and since there is enough muddy water already, that's a wa...
Ok, I decide, and I tell you and you have to accept it. This is not the case is it? No one decides the facts, people find out the facts, or sometimes ...
I won't be offering you much more than some statements and maybe a question or two. If you were sitting on a mat within range I might kick you. One ca...
That's not the way I have proposed talking at all and seems very confused and confusing. If I believe that the cat is on the mat, then I believe that ...
I propose the following rough scheme, which I think is acceptable to most philosophers, even though common usage may deviate at times. Factual stateme...
I tell you what. I'll do my best to completely ignore you in future. What the fuck do you think I'm doing with this thread? That's a rhetorical questi...
You know me so well. Too well in fact. The problem I have with you in all these discussions is that you don't respond to what I say because you are to...
I'm not sure either. But perhaps I could just direct attention to the title of the thread, for a last thought. The economy is not a person, and does n...
Then the Conservatives have that obligation. The opposition are also the parliament, and they have an obligation to oppose the government where necess...
Governing bodies are not always national, not even always local,so it seems to me that talk of preserving borders is not primary. It might also be the...
The relevant sense of 'helpless' in my argument is that people are helpless to actually change the basic institution. Because it is only the non-persi...
That's bad chess strategy right there. Pawns are important, pawns are valuable, and the player who sacrifices them for no or little advantage will qui...
One might say that oases and mirages both exist phenomenologically, however, only one will quench one's thirst, and this is a significant difference. ...
It would have to be more than just a scan of a brain; a fully working model that 'processes'. And then, if it isn't going to model total sensory depri...
If the population regulated is helpless to reject the basic institution, as is nearly always the case, then their 'acceptance' as evidenced by the end...
No one is outside education, unless you think it is a matter of teachers doing their thing and students conforming and performing. If you come to serv...
So what are you saying? That we all agree we're getting it wrong, but don't talk about it unless you have a way to improve it? That makes no sense any...
Music is another language. One needs a certain mastery of the mechanics of a language; having which one forgets it while using it in the urgency of co...
