unenlightened

I'd like to distinguish first that a problem has internal aspects and external aspects; or mental and physical, if you like. Suppose for example, I pr...

The Termitinator for president! So much better looking than than the average average.

We don't know whether Kennedy is deliberately exploiting conspiracy theories or not. He says, as if he might want later to deny that he has anything a...

But you haven't said what that difference is. Yes, humans are hypocrites. Perhaps we are all nimbys in our various ways— And it is a dangerous and sti...

I think professional sports of all sorts are prostitution; why single out sex?

Just 'and', surely? 'No more than one' allows for none or one of each already. I'm glad to see one does not have to be the author of one's submissions...

I might be way off topic here, but... If you are interested in how deductive logic 'emerges' from neural networks, you might like G. Spencer Brown's T...

I'm sure Pence is right in law; but he could have done it anyway. People do break the law sometimes. Trump clearly feels the function of the law is to...

Ten bonus unenlightenment points for mentioning Robert Graves.

Because there is more to philosophy than argument, and conversations that are all argument are not generally worth going over, but even here, there is...

I wonder if it is anything very different to what happens in science? There is a current theory that is accepted, and as anomalies start to appear, ad...

Respect dude.

The hippies were right as usual. Local vegan organic whole foods are more healthy for man and environment. The soil is also an excellent carbon sink, ...

You aint seen nothing yet. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abn7950

Respect, dude.

Thank you.

Yes. What do mean,"it's hard to dance with you" ? I don't dance, and if I did, I would dance alone. Oh, wait! In the context of the thread history, yo...

I find philosophy is always like that. As soon as anyone says anything they are open to all the big questions - how do you know? what do you mean? why...

I have read the entire op, and even some of the responses. Do I get a prize? There is a echo here of other threads - you seem to presuppose time. If t...

And so are violent transfers. Because :— .

No, definitely not. Crudely, he says that when we say that something exists physically, we normally mean that it is located in space and time "My gree...

Mountains just move slowly, and you don't notice most times; but every now and then they move a bit faster, and then you know all about it and have to...

The good old days, when Adolph was just a name. And it comes down, pretty much to who does one fear to displease and who does one desire to favour? On...

And fragile.

To whom it may concern:– I am English by birth and upbringing, Scottish by extraction and name, and Welsh by marriage and domicile. Accordingly, I hav...

*Sigh*. Ask yourself why it is so important to prove me wrong? Because your criticisms are getting desperate and feeble. DNA analysis is a rather rece...

Yes, there is all the difference in the world. I know, because i have done both. The first is difficult and painful because one is in conflict the who...

Indeed, democracy is a bad system when most of the population is insane.

There is an interesting aspect. Bobby Sands was a member of the IRA who died in prison on hunger strike while an elected member of the British parliam...

It looks to be an odd question, to me. If I asked how a map maps onto reality, the answer would seem to be 'by being an arrangement of symbols that co...

I have no proof that you just posted that. But evidently you did.

Not objectively correct, nor subjectively correct, but socially correct. But you're right, I am weird. But I'm not alone.

Well if you are always considerate, again that is unresponsive to the situation; sometimes it is appropriate to be inconsiderate - to scammers and thi...

I don't know how they would explain it, I put it down to either a complete lack of insight, or an inability to modify responses according to the envir...

I'll just leave this here for reference: https://www.studysmarter.co.uk/explanations/social-studies/social-institutions/construction-of-social-reality...

It is used in matrimonial disputes such as divorce where it has immediate financial consequences (property, that is). In normal relationships it would...

It's funny how this principle works to prevent regulation of companies, but somehow doesn't do the same for women's pregnant bodies, for example. In p...

No. it is a fundamental driver of the organisation of patriarchy. It is not a driver of the organisation of matriarchy. It is idiotic because we have ...

Enough idiotic questions, already. Do you understand that in general biological motherhood is known, whereas biological fatherhood is questionable, be...

I'm talking about matriarchy, not equality. Does equal inheritance not include patrilineal inheritance? I'm talking about history, and the legacy of h...

That is not politics. Women can be just as anything you like as men, except just as unsure who their children are. That makes the big difference betwe...

Because matriarchy does not need to control sex. The difference that makes the difference is that man is born of woman so the woman knows her lineage ...

It's an asylum dear. When you stop being confused, we'll let you go.

Can we really say it began? I wonder what you mean by "really say"? I did really write it, and it seems to me that a train can really stop, and then s...

No one can logically rule out that I am the Lizard King and have knowledge not accessible to mere mortals. Yet everyone does rule it out, in spite of ...

Given sex segregated showers I think you do. But given only non-sex- segregated showers, no you do not. It's a matter of what segregations are mandate...

You know nothing, but I am the Lizard King. Less of your presumptuous "we" when you dare to question yourself in public.

Your link. The erasure of females in art, and science is very familiar, but in prehistory — I should have expected it, but didn't. Men have bullets, w...
