So let's see, now his wife divorced him, he lost the White House for which he sold his company - that's what greed does to you. Ruin. But in order to ...

Great news! That guy... seriously. Where did they take him from? >:O And to think that such a character was permitted to accumulate ~$80 million...

Okay, but aren't the two identical, or in fact, creation being higher than salvation? For man in his primordial state, before the Fall, was created in...

Yes, I know later Berdyaev developed a fetish for Kant :P Why is salvation divorced from creativity? Why can't a creative person be moral? :s This see...

Very interesting how the mind of a supposed life-long celibate in his case functions :P
July 31, 2017 at 16:15
>:O Haha, I see, yes I had realised later on as well (but for some reason TPF didn't warn me of your reply - it's not the first time I don't get a not...

What you do not see is that Kierkegaard for example did not say that morality was unimportant, just that it wasn't everything. Kierkegaard himself was...
July 31, 2017 at 12:24
I do admire Kierkegaard because he was a righteous man, I don't admire Dostoyevsky personally (he had a mistress, he cheated people with regards to mo...

I see. But the Buddha bit threw me off, I was thinking along completely different lines.

Damn man, Alexander the Great was so unsuccessful, he died at 32 and his only son died at 14 :D

Why so secretive Buxte? :P

It is very interesting how Trump has got all those losers fighting each other amongst his staff - they all want to rise to the top and be given more p...

My major bugbear is that he said it at all, it would have been equally bad if he had said it off the record. And that guy actually calls himself a Cat...

Why is my viewpoint vile? Because I admit the truth of the world? I didn't say I support those activities, quite the contrary. But unlike many of the ...

Take Genealogy of Morals, the first essay for example. From memory, I remember N. argued that "good" originated from the nobles and aristocrats (and h...

I haven't said they are deep. Yes, I agree. However remember that you asked me for philosophers who don't agree with Nietzsche and don't find him deep...
July 29, 2017 at 17:42
You always butt into discussions and send them down a tangent which has nothing to do with the topic. If you're curious about this, I would suggest th...

Which is great, because it is unmasking everyone else. That's why they hate Trump.

He did have me as his favorite philosopher at one time >:O

Would you accept to work for Donald John Trump if he offered you, say, $15,000/month? >:)

You seem to blindingly presume that N's philosophy is deep and worthy of reverence. I'm just asking you to prove that. So far you're just asserting it...
July 28, 2017 at 22:28
Im not the first nor the last philosopher to think that Nietzsche's philosophy lacks depth.
July 28, 2017 at 22:27
Rather one needs to know why something is happening in order to be able to predict future repercussions of it (especially if those repercussions are i...
July 28, 2017 at 21:59
There was a time when I used to find Nietzsche deep, but not anymore. He's actually quite a superficial thinker in the end. Lots of bang for nothing.
July 28, 2017 at 21:31
Yes, I am actually dismissive, and I am absolutely entitled to be, since his studies in no way indicate that by 2060 reproductive capacity will be all...
