Ok, then, I'll give you a chance to convince me. Tell me, how does the limbic system directly and immediately cause the emotional experience of love. ...

You cannot talk about what religion is because it is an immediate relation or direct existence. But you can talk about what it isn't, and communicate ...

Couldn't have said it better

In the present political climate, it's not a far stretch to imagine that certain forms of behavior or speech could be outlawed (I'd be willing to bet ...

Excellent point. Indeed, nothing measures up to actual existence. Perhaps I'm using vicariously a bit loosely, but I think we more or less share commo...

I believe in funniness

I thought it was ridiculous that I was just answering the question rather than pointing out the linguistic challenges

I would say living without religion is to either: 1)to will to be another and despair in not being a self, or 2)to despair over willing to be oneself,...

I agree. We are individual's, who, ideally, represent ourselves. Nevertheless, anyone who constitutionally identifies himself with a race, believes hi...

I'm not saying it's the cause. I was just using hate crimes to illustrate a point. Nevertherless, they are a manifestation of that same system in whic...

Give him some slack, English isn't his first language. But I gotta say, I'm gonna miss him. :cry:

I agree that the racist individual is the most essential component. But a hate crime that is perpetrated on an individual is, as they say, not persona...

On a side note, Plato viewed democracy as the best government for the most inferior type of humanity. And, Nietzsche (who completely rejected Platonis...

But the individual is lost when it becomes generalized into a collectivity, especially one as broad as race or gender. In fact, I might argue that rac...

Because I care about you. :kiss:

I was a compliment... It wasn't a compliment

Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to be convincing you of anything. I just saw you begging someone to explain Banno's point, and I was approaching it l...

Makes sense to me.

Are you high? It's like your memory bottomed out and you forgot what our discussion was about, a discussion you initiated.

The one that is considering the relation of unique individuality to equality, and testing whether or not treating unique individualities equal has an ...

Thank you sir.

I don't know about that. But in the experiment I layed out, to treat unique individuals as equal has an opposite effect. It plays out by preventing so...

The folks in the nose bleed section are...fuckin animals

the prose is Nietzsche talking shit about equality.

If every individual is equally unique, and we treat them all the same, then that would necessitate the oppression of certain character types, preventi...

I agree.

Good point. What is history other than a historical account. The historical account is a means of remembering the past. But, memory is not history, an...

I found that funny.

No, you are accurate, I was just being facetious and satirical.

Great point.

Lol Just throw out the baby, keep the bathwater.

Camille Paglia feminism all the way.

Well then we will agree. Perhaps, I require a biological component to regard something as natural. I just find, that to regard absolutely everything t...

:sad: no

It's called the philosophy forums. Don't be so agitated.

You should create a pole, that would be awesome.

Right on! And you should cover your back with Lorem Ipsum

I disagree. We are soon to see either the rise of either a gulag or concentration system. Radicalism means doom for everyone.

But that is what happens when either the right or left drift to their extremes

I really don't give two shits about what happens to the world or to me. And I like getting you slaves to the status quo, you talking sticks, worked up...

Tell that to the survivors of the Soviet g.u.l.a.g.

Janus is bifrontal, that is why he can disagree while remaining agreeable.

You have a sort of Nietchzean spirit. Ever read about eternal return?

Ethical orientations aren't a matter of taste. They are based on deep convictions. The ethical arises from an assumption on how the world appears to t...

I see the left and right drifting apart at an exponential rate. Before we know it, it will be too late, and they will be radically charged. And that's...

Yes, I agree. The difference is that the aesthetic judgement is directed toward objectivity, whereas the ethical judgement is reversed back upon the s...

Nice. Very comprehensive. If I may ask, why did you use the term money instead of wealth? I just ask since it is a broader category which allows for g...

They are, for instance: It means: to not be natural. By removing the thing in question from its nature. Yes it is. The beaver activity is natural. The...

I suppose.
