So historical importance makes it important? Or making sense makes it historically important (based on what exactly)? Or what?

Word. Not necessarily obvious, but word.

By what principle?

So, an emotional reaction based on experience? Or no?

You can't see the answer here?

Can you explain, or am I too stupid for your sacred response?

Why?

What would be a picture of someone who isn't stupid? Or a society that wasn't stupid?

Ah, I did listen to Tago Mago once, I'll have to listen again. I really like Neu!'s first album, as well as Tangerine Dream's first album, which can b...

Cool, what album is that from? I've been on Krautrock binge recently.

Proto-Kraftwerk! Also the namesake of Tonefloat Records: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-wNx-6mMkU

Nah, I'm just a suicidal major depressive patient.

Have you been to the bank recently?... (hint: bank tellers aren't exactly jonsing for CEO positions). So rising through the ranks would never lead to ...

Why say it, then? You clearly don't know much about suicide as a general topic if you consider this a valid response to your own ignorance.

So the bank teller at Chase wouldn't be able to do a similarly upstanding job? For instance, if working at McD's is positive only in the sense of "mov...

Furthermore, you began by using language of "remembered by", and now you switch to begging the question of "throwing life away". So it seems you're eq...

Do you not consider workaholism a problem? Ok, you're making a distinction here between - what? - pure labor, on the one hand, and work that has a spi...

Try living in NYC. Those who work a lot party a lot; they don't do much else than these two things. They may eventually end up in a clinic, or if they...

I doubt that. The experience of despair swallowing oneself is not a universal experience. And no, I'm not playing the martyr here; this should be comm...

Some of the best music ever written!

This isn't how depression works. It's not something the person is in control of. It's a sickness.

Have you experienced major depression?

I have occasionally occuring suicidal thoughts. For me it's more of a thought of "I'd rather not be alive. I'd rather not exist". But it hasn't yet ma...

No; religion allows for reference to things beyond human comprehension not ad-hoc, but because there are things beyond human comprehension. The religi...

Apologies for just jumping in and critiquing (my mental quota for posting here gets filled pretty fast, but I keep reading), but how does a purely the...

The truth of a paradox begins where reason ends.

So google searches are the metric of whether something exists? Right. Here we are, in 2017. So, doe Christian culture not exist? Does atheistic cultur...

Huh, I was being sarcastic the whole time until I said this: Not even sure what just happened, in that case. Cheers either way! No hard feelings at al...

*correction*, leave it to a philosophy forum member to suddenly lose their sense of humor when anything they said is taken under the scalpel... :-}

I wasn't really sure what you were getting at, but I wasn't too worried either. No worries regardless. Leave it to a philosophy forum member to explai...

Maybe that's a Gemini thing?

No, mystique is my thing; ask anyone here who thinks my views are bullshit. I'm the Scorpio after all, not you..

That's basically my life's story, so...

I'm not only a Scorpio, but also a Snake. Yikes...

I feel the same way. If someone feels like they connect to the description, then that's fine. If they feel it's inaccurate, then go with that. Sometim...

As someone formerly religious, and currently "spiritual", I took the liberty of answering the poll anyway; I said "yes". If a different religion other...

I agree about the "remembering".

Well, maybe i shouldn't say "everything is interdependent of everything else"; that suggested historical connections that exist outside of time. Rathe...

I'd rather listen to Ravel, the most pianistic of all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O5wMctUSAM

I dunno, I would venture to say that everything is interdependent of everything else within the history of ideas. Unless you're of the persuasion that...

For what it's worth, I think the mods did an ok job of deleting the posts that needed to be deleted in this context, including mine. There's a lot of ...

When it comes to actual issues, I'm centrist, because I think that the political system of "us vs. them" is another manifestation of the spiritual bon...
