Hey, someone's made a funny joke about my name, as if names had to be justified, like everything else in the universe. I direct my ire at bad philosop...
Money, bottled water, shelters, clothes, generators, road repair teams etc. Prayers and tears are not ways of helping, but expressions of empathy. Thi...
Of course, you have to find a use for tears, to justify them: There's no educating a fanatic. :roll: More cross-bracing and movement dampers, I say, a...
I suggest a single "Elizabethan age", subtitled "the age of Empire" to stretch from Liz 1. to Liz 2. Brexit is the thus the last gasp of Colonial sent...
"Water seeks its own level", we used to hear. More generally, the will of matter is to clump together - I think that's called gravity, There being no ...
The experts will correct me if I am wrong, but this is a recapitulation of 'the beginning' of philosophy. It aligns with what we know of the prehistor...
@"The world" Americans are even more antsy than the British about sport, which is ridiculous, as we invented them all including athletics, which we ge...
Yes I have noticed the ongoing competition between the two of you in the game of "How wrong can I be?" And the answer in this case is "completely wron...
I foresee hundreds of mass murderers rushing about with cries of "for Matthew", "for Luke", "for John", "for Adolf", on their lips, and very few survi...
Does anyone else suffer from the following synchronicity? I'm perusing the newish topics, and come across one that deserves a pearl of my great wisdom...
Philosophers are the thought police of consumer society, and materialism declares all such talk useless and therefore meaningless. This is amply demon...
What is interesting is that this is scientific magic. The psychiatrist actually believes his own magic. With marriage, at least civil marriage, we all...
Sounds like a magic spell. The sort of delegitimising incantation a psychiatrist uses by way of dehumanising his clients into patients. Your thoughts ...
Excellent analogy. A game you cannot lose is a dull game where winning is no achievement and has no value. Games have to have baddies so that they can...
1. This is insane. 2. There can be no objective method for dealing with subjects. 3. The results of personal interactions are immeasurable. 4. The use...
Hi there, Royal Bank of Scotland. Well this is what matters in this life isn't it? Not a dull topic at all. Can we call it sexual attraction? I'm not ...
Yes, leaders always want to unite us. Yes, loyalty is a good thing if society is good. But Hitler was a leader who united people, and all too few of h...
That was not my experience. What I learned from spending time alone is that my feeling experience comes from within; there are happy days and miserabl...
Yes. But whence the stress? If you don't know, that's fine, or if you don't care. I stress the word 'stress' there to emphasise the tension between wh...
Can you explain why, or how, the stress arises? In engineering, stress is produced when there are two or more forces working against each other. The l...
So I asked google if pigs are racist, and apparently, some are. https://dribbble.com/tags/racist_pigs Also, the latest news is that your Black pig has...
If one were to change the language just a little... Why can human understanding not understand human understanding? ... it becomes rather easy to see ...
Yes. I know what you are doing because it has been going on for generations. It is a racist justification, akin to the racist justification for mortga...
In very short, myopia. These are my fingers because I can type with them, and those are not my fingers because they type and type-not according (as I ...
Imagine a police force that thinks falsely that this is the case. Their prejudicial behaviour will mean that Muslims are lightly policed and Christian...
Yeah, whatever. I think you are missing my point. You are adding two thoughts together and creating reality. I don't think the world works like that. ...
Curious. Note that 1 and 2 are thoughts, whereas 3 is not. Try an analogy. There are three dwellings. 1 is the architect's plan 2 is your address. 3 i...
To be alive is to be sensitive and to be sensitive is to be vulnerable. I want to have that sensitivity that can be hurt, because it it is the effect ...
Of course there will; my grape peeler will always have a job, as long as his tone of voice is more pleasingly subservient than the robot grape peeler....
In other news, we are entering a post mass-production economy. It used to be that the masses were necessary as both labour and consumer to produce fro...
Show those statistics. Statistics show that 97% of claims prefaced by 'Statistics show' are a steaming pile of male bovine excrement. The other 3% alr...
Excuse me Agent, but this bids fair to be the silliest thing you have ever proposed. A tribe living in mud huts has no difficulty in meeting and decid...
