:grimace:

Giddy up.

I'm getting a little frustrated here. Nowhere did I say intuition was an end. You seem to read into my argument a lot. So do you consider reasoning a ...

I'm fixin' fer a cock fight 'round these parts.

:scream:

Ooo, nice. I'm enjoying some silence before I go to bed, but I'll leave it open so I remember to watch it tomorrow.

I don't think it exists now in the way it initially did.

Could be, I dunno. What I was reading was more along the lines of Theosophy leading to the New Age movement, etc., and now we have yoga studios on eve...

Russian philosophy is pretty interesting; I need to read more of it. Heavy emphasis on teleology, for one thing. Something else weird is that I was re...

Eh, I doubt the thread would get far. I tend to incorporate some of his ideas into my arguments from time to time. I do want to start a topic about hi...

"I challenge thee to a smile-off!!"

'Sup Posty.

Can you make an argument for the idea that wisdom moves from the past into the future? To say that wisdom gets outdated fast is to basically say that ...

:rofl:

I never tried to argue that intuition should be used "alone", or that it was better; I've already stressed that. Or, if something I said led you to be...

The Catfish Of The Farm, eh? What can I say; I have an adventurous palate. :razz:

Listening to light rain outside the window after a long day at work. What could be better.

I enjoy eating goat...does that...? Nah, that doesn't seem right...

I'm not a dog person, though. I like dogs, I just can't stand dog owners. Or at least, NYC dog owners, who are a nightmare breed of their own.

Should I go dog? Lizard? Eric Asimov??

Woah, nice. I like black. I will say that I think that's a "cock", as the term goes. He looks pretty metal, though. :fire:

As I see only one option, I pick the black chicken...

Real philosophy is...wait...

I was thinking more in terms of the therapy I've had myself, but sure, it could be prophylactic.

Yes, reason can't change a person's life, qualitatively. If you're addicted, depressed, emotionally paralyzed, then reason won't help you. Philosophy ...

It's interesting, because that makes total sense; get stuck in pessimistic thoughts = gravitate to the pessimists. But for myself (and I'm sure for ot...

I just re-read through, as I tend to do (because I tend to respond too quickly), and I think you edited this, right? It's interesting you bring up nih...

I don't know that I would characterize the corpus of Western philosophy as a whole as pessimistic. For myself, I've found that inner anguish lead me t...

Can you blame anyone who experiences inner anguish to want to formalize a worldview? What's another way to respond to inner anguish in which a worldvi...

There's certainly plenty of mental masturbators around these parts. That's not the same as real inner anguish, though; quite the opposite... Surely th...

PKD just looks so clean cut from this angle.

But birds are so 6 months ago.

Do I make a cat avatar now? What should I do??? I'm waiting for the masses to tell me.

Why is that too bad?

The "goal" depends. The conscious goal of the artist? Sometime's there isn't one. The metaphysical telos of art in general? Big shoes to fill, no? I l...

What's up with all these cats?

Rediscovered this recently. File under "what is wisdom?"... “If anyone is unwilling to descend into himself, because this is too painful, he will rema...

That may be the weakness of intuition. Consequently, the weakness in reason is that every step of the reasoning process has to be correct for the conc...

It's a cash cow. One that I'll happily buy into by illegally streaming the films.

That's why I hate sarcasm.

And I did mean that, if it's not clear, which it probably isn't. But whatever.

The Force Awakens is a lame Episode IV reboot. Look it up.

I don't know what that means, but sure. You're great, TL.

Eh? Is this just a general "no" to your perception of my existence? The quote leads only to my profile. Profoundly existential; I'm intrigued! :joke:

Oh so you liked The Last Jedi the least?

Whoops, redacted! *sarcasm overlooked*

You mean harsh that I thought The Last Jedi was "pretty bad"? I should qualify. It was a well made movie, but it did a horrible job plot-wise; who was...

No, never. :rofl: you're debate tactics are incredible.

I'm assuming that's a "no"

That seems at best a muddled copy of your initial post: So wisdom is...let me guess: intersubjective? Or was that five months ago? :joke:
