Maybe it is a good thing! Maybe it's a good thing if the Russian economy is collapsing. Well the point of your little lecture looks a little weak. I h...
Is that international law, or a law of Nature, or a local convention? I know how the unemployment figures are manipulated and function in the West, an...
It doesn't flip things vertically or horizontally but in the third dimension - front to back. The confusion arises because humans have bilateral symme...
Well I'm not sure, but I understood that to be a translation snarl. If one put it in the negative - as 96.5% employment, it would be catastrophic, bec...
A purpose is somewhat like a row. Sometimes, it is possible to get your ducks in a row. But when your ducks are in a row, you do not have your ducks a...
This modern stuff all sounds the same to me. Here's something a bit different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ubgv0-Nk7o&list=RD_ubgv0-Nk7o&start_ra...
I have met several pigs and they are delightful fun loving creatures. It is only humans that drive them into depravity; left to themselves, they like ...
Hey, long time no wallow dude. Everyone has been very sad and playing with their food since you were away. I hope they will have the decency not to be...
What if we stopped trying to "bring up" children to our high level, and instead tried to bring ourselves up to their high level? What if we treated ch...
This is rather long. But I think it is worth plodding through, and thinking about. For instance, the simple notion that the largest waste product of m...
So eat them and tell us the right answer. I reckon it's a sparkling lava flow enveloping the jungle slopes of Mt. Somewhere. Guaranteed to keep your f...
No, I said it, but i was only joking. Sorry if I offended. But in general, I think it is an always a mistake to psychologise philosophies and philosop...
There are two types of people; those who think people are always one type or another, and the rest of us. :wink: In contradiction to the thesis of the...
You know it isn't, but for the farmer's good. But we no longer do it to human boys for the pleasure of the singing voices of castrati. That's progress...
No, the more you define things the less understandable you become. Take a coffee cup. there is a hole that I can fill with coffee, and then there is a...
A word has meaning to the extent that it makes a distinction between that which it indicates, and that which it does not indicate. To exist is to stan...
I have not fact-checked this, but offer it as is:– sneer, dismiss, disprove, approve, or something else; personally, I cried, but I am a milk and wate...
As long as the depth is measured in fathoms, (unless it is unfathomable, of course), I have no problem with the depth of moral depravity, unless it it...
Yes, but suppose they catch one of the smart guys one day... One ought to assume that sometimes torture is efficacious, otherwise no one would ever be...
It seems to be localised. If consciousness is transparent, to the extent that one cannot see the rose tint, or whatever the opposite is (blue?), then ...
Slate is very available, but I'm wondering if the difference between a wall and a fence is a matter of thickness only or permeability, or something el...
https://global-tipping-points.org Here is a large report that explains some of the tipping points and what we might expect and what we ought to be doi...
Another rat departs the hopefully sinking ship, armed with enough insider testimony to plea bargain his own case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNjR...
Unfortunately, it turns out not to be possible to put oneself on one's ignore list. So one has no other recourse but to be an intelligent and interest...
What one knows is what has been. What another knows one might learn if one pays attention quietly to what they are saying without rehearsing what one ...
Some interesting (to me) discussion of the inexplicable (to me) convergence of the right and the evangelicals here in the first 25mins of this. https:...
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Albert-Camus Not a moral nihilist at all, but a deeply moral thinker. Perhaps it is not so much John Deigh who mi...
In a word — no. The word "red" and the meaning "stop" are reliably connected with the top light of the traffic signal. This is what we need to agree o...
To who? I talk about identity as if i have none and for sure that leans too far. But perhaps "we" can find the balance together? Something and nothing...
I wouldn't take it that way, but I would take it as undermining any attempt to claim that the male of the species is more rational than the female, an...
Indeed, one is always in a mid-life crisis whenever one philosophises - in the middle of a muddle. Life is only completed by death. and identity is me...
It is a puzzle because for a few centuries one experience has been taught as if it were the only experience that had meaning. to hear that there is an...
A whole philosophical tradition discovered it was unreasonable in declaring that "all swans are white". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theor...
Explicitly, from the beginning, the op declares that the division he is expressing is "Non-externalised", which I take it that @"alan1000" is identify...
