"Posty said you think he's being pretentious??" At least get your fucking grammar right.

Jesus, PMing you.

Again, literally no one knows what you're arguing for right now.

What are we arguing about, philosophically?

Again, I never mentioned you in this, in my first post. This whole thing is meaningless.

No. As I already mentioned, my commentary had nothing to do with you personally. You brought yourself into the discussion by offering a sad emoji.

And if you got bored by the sarcasm and irony, then you've missed the whole point of my initial post.

I literally have no idea how we got here.

Thumbs up as in you recognize that I'm arguing in good faith, and that we're talking past one another, right?

:up:

Wow, you're right. I'm a vain son of a bitch who's asking you questions in bad faith. I don't give a shit about this. Indeed, I'm only pretending to e...

Yeah, I certainly didn't mean to call you out as a Witty worshiper; I posted my commentary (of those quotes from a newbie) with no other reference wha...

Ah, so this is about @"Posty McPostface" and his love of Witty. You might have noticed that this entire exchange began with my commentary on the Witty...

So you've never met a Witty fan who was a bit worshipful, right? The concept doesn't even remotely suggest a meme to you, right?

Entrenched beliefs being challenged are always good things to have happen to oneself (weird grammar). This happens every day on the forum for anyone w...

So why are you a part of this discussion?

Can you, instead, provide examples of how Witty's trite quotes are examples of profound wisdom?

Are you my ex? What are we arguing about? Will I ever be right? What point do you want to make? Make a philosophical point, my dude.

That's a little hard for me to imagine as I never formally studied philosophy in College; the crisis of formulating my own philosophy came after I lef...

I don't get the grammar. If what is true is supposedly the process of academic philosophy, yet believing in what is true is associating "what is true"...

But that being said, I can work on expressing it better, which I'm happy to do. But a fully formalized concept would work against the concept itself.

If I formalize it, I'll express it less well than I've expressed it above.

A'ight brah, I'll spell it out since you have no imagination. I thought you did, since you have good taste in music, but you're apparently a robot: My...

That sounds religious, metaphorically, and also fundamentally: A set of values that are internalized and are set against a narrative which describes t...

*sifts through all the brilliant new emoji's and can't find an "embarrassed" emoji* Wine and philosophy work well together!

Where did you say you're not interested in Witty's pretentiousness, and where did you say you're not interested in my pretentiousness? And no, I didn'...

I concluded so with my commentary, and the admonishment that Jesus, lighten up man!

Beginning carte blanche from the other thread..."not associating oneself with philosophy" seems very wise. It's the stance of prizing ideas over perso...

Ah, you're right. Your rational faculties are sharper than mine; my imagination gets caught up, and I jump ahead. But yes, my initial post does in fac...

Good so far. Correct. Why does it need to in order for me to agree with Posty's assertion that Witty worshipers can be pretentious?

I'm not in any mindset to start any new threads for a good while; I only do that when I really have an un-scratchable itch. That's just me because I'm...

Sorry if that's a little harsh, but what you're asking for is there. That's all I mean.

Read my initial post. What you're looking for is there. I'm guessing you just don't have the ironic sense to get it.

I did with the prose of my initial post above. Having to spell it out kills the joke...

Profoundly difficult indeed. To foolhardily hazard an answer, I see the paradox of "not associating the self/ego with philosophy", vs. "treating philo...

That's the gist of my post; in both content, and, more importantly, in form. Always willing to hear your thoughts, over here.

Sorry you're sad, posty. Do you have any rebuttals? I'm happy to be put in my place if my ideas are terrible. It's possible that they are.

MOD NOTE: The following comments have been moved from the TPF quote cabinet discussion as they are off-topic there @"Noble Dust" @"?????????????" @"Po...

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft anim...

Anyone else screaming like a little girl every time a nugget of news comes out about the new Tool album? No?...

Can you change my name to "I'm on the bus right now, I'll respond later when I'm drunk"? Thanks

yes.

What brings you to the conclusion that the suicidal person is looking for the easier way out?

Yo!! There's no propaganda, doc! Welcome to the (sort of) real!!

Right. I don't know. If we don't know what exists, if anything, "on the other side", is it wise for us to encourage suicidal people, positively or neg...

In to what?

Care to elaborate, here or via PM? No worries either way. Your idea reminded me of this Rilke poem, which, as a quote, is, I guess, apropos to the thr...

Are you speaking from experience?

He also follows me LOL

I'm a leader, not a follower, baby.
