Wouldn’t you say that the process comes before the creative idea? The idea is the consolidated potentiality, like the dancing. In the dancing the idea...

If I understand you you’re saying the consolidated object is the creative action, it’s what’s made.

It’s true that power may not have been exercised on the scale and reach that currently exists, but we experience it as individuals and from that point...

I was about to add that I understand those who see the only way out is to destroy the system. It can’t be changed by election or negotiation. There ar...

I understand the point of view of Marxists and others who see human nature as the problem, that “conceives of human nature as composed of 'tendencies'...

Yep, back to business as usual.

Can you elaborate on this further, that imagining presents an imaginary object in the mind is not true?

This would be the general consensus on this OP I would think. So if wealth has the greater impact on personality than personality has on wealth then w...

I did. I said it’s regarded as a gift.

It’s a bit more than that. “In a seminal 1986 study, McMillan and Chavis identify four elements of "sense of community": membership: feeling of belong...

They don’t make it a duty. It’s something that’s evolved with and contributed towards the strength and structure of communities.

What does that mean? Edit: by the way, this is getting way off topic.

What is community then?

Why would you?

That you do not see an obligation to assist someone who needs help.

I don’t see how you connect a moral obligation to law. Exactly. This is the consequence of refusing their obligation to others. See how it ends up? Ok...

Obviously your question is rhetorical and it leaves little room to move, because you put donating and saving someone from drowning on the same footing...

I’m not quite sure what this might mean in relation to the OP? I’ve being thinking about this in relation to the OP “What is the purpose of creativity...

If God gave us free will, which he did according to the scriptures, and if you’re a Christian then you believe that to be true, then he does not know ...

When I mentioned about how things would pan out morally I wasn’t thinking about it in terms of profits and expansion, but in actual terms of what was ...

Sorry. Yeah I was being a smart arse.

It’s very interesting as a thought experiment. I was really wondering, though I didn’t make it clear, how the business landscape would change morally....

Intentionality needs an object. But if that object doesn’t yet exist how can there be intentionality? In remembering I remember a past object, imagini...

I’m not sure about that. Are we talking about intentionality in the same way yet? Edit: just did a quick read on intentionality. So we are not on the ...

I understood the intentionality as acting on that abstract thought, not the thought itself. Once a personal understanding is reached about this abilit...

I think so. How can people other than the one performing the act know it was intentional?

I’ve never heard Plato. Where’s he playing?

I think it’s worth taking into consideration that childrens’ minds are undeveloped, which would account for much of the wonderment.

Do you mean by “abstract thinker” another person or the person carrying out the act?. So unless there is a perceived connection between the creativity...

That’s interesting. We survive because we’re creative. Creativity just happened, in its most basic form, as did opposable thumbs. From then on the act...

I was thinking this over in relation to @"Pfhorrest" and his hypothetical world where we don’t have to consider the transition from here to there, tha...

True. But a creative act won’t happen without it.

So you’re looking at it in terms of association.? They’d rather be associated with the party as opposed to Trump. Or are you suggesting they haven’t r...

Do you mean if the Supreme Court leaned towards Trump their actions could backfire in the Senate runoffs?

“think in the abstract and form images of realities that are not present “ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK210003/ My reference is from one of t...

Does creativity come before the act?

Is this what you mean?

“Bankruptcy offers an individual or business a chance to start fresh by forgiving debts that simply cannot be paid while giving creditors a chance to ...

Well if this is right (maybe it’s not) then I would think it’s, dare I say it, an essential act of our survival. The fact that it went on to appear as...

None. Peace, brother.

Oh Baden, you take things so personally.

You still don’t get it. It’s not about Trump. It’s the fact the the Constituition and the way things are worked out still functioned.

Actually I think really you’re frustrated that you didn’t get what you want: Trump removed because he was a Putin puppet, a piss tape, a mental breakd...

See it’s still about Trump for you. It’s the fact that you had no faith in judges nominated by Trump because they were nominated by Trump that’s your ...

Oh give it up. Don’t hold your breath for the coup either. It’s over and you still can’t let it go.

So I guess this means Trump didn’t stack the Supreme Court so as to use it in his favour. You morons.

Okay, I understand where you’re coming from there. But I guess it’s clear what I think of it and to continue would just be a lot of back and forward t...

So it’s only a theory and wouldn’t actually work in the real world unless someone could snap their fingers and say “ Behold, I give you widely distrib...

Why would someone buy a failing business and if they did it wouldn’t be for the price you want. Well assuming you had other investments. There’s a lot...

How does your theory address this situation?
