What do you want?

Give me something (less than 30mins long please) of his to listen to.

That means jack shit to me. He published useless things as far as I'm concerned. Chomsky compared to Plato, Aristotle, etc. GIVE ME A BREAK! Yes I kno...

I've barely heard anything about Chomsky, honestly now. Who the hell is that? Some guy who published some theories about linguistics. Can anyone tell ...

Of course, money doesn't pop out of nowhere, what did you expect? Most people who get in touch with God, and become aware of God's presence work at it...

Chom who? :s

Okay but reason can only make do with what you've got. If you don't have the necessary material, either you imagine it, or you experience it. Otherwis...

Hold on bruv, need to find the fuckin button for that mate!

No you can't. Just ask Emptyheady, he said whatever he wanted in Shoutbox, and Baden banned him (N)

Sounds like Etsy wants you to market those products.

Yes but that's relatively unimportant. More important is the experience itself.

STOP! You're going in with a preconceived idea. It's like telling me that nothing I tell you to do, even putting your hand in the right place, will co...

Dayummmm dawg >:O

You should be careful Sappy, who knows what "stuff" you'll be asked to do X-)

Yes, the most important things for Stoics is morality, but even there, they disagree about what that morality is. Stoicism doesn't have clear cut beli...

No, I am asking you a question. The question was: Here's the thing. Modern Stoics, just like they disregard what Ancient Stoic texts said about God, a...

No no, I'm not asking about the Ancient Stoics. I know what the Ancient Stoics say, I've read them. I'm asking you what modern stoics believe. Ciceron...

Right, so if you disbelieve, and it happens to be one of the 2.7% times, then you've made a mistake ;)

There is no guarantee for success - I agree. The self-belief merely makes it more likely, but that's all. That's precisely why the genius is admirable...

Okay, what's his view on fornication then and promiscuous sex?

It may be true though ;)

Maybe, but in different directions ;)

Yeah, I'm probably leaning towards this interpretation too. TimeLine obviously thinks differently though. Okay, but think of Schopenhauer as well for ...

Precisely the problem I was talking about. Also most of today's Stoics would disagree with the Ancient Stoics on, for example, sexual morality. No. Yo...

Yes, because the love of God also entails all the other loves. Probably not :P . Why are you asking about the Ubermensch though?

yes, but they have very little in common. Stoicism doesn't cover all the bases so to speak. It covers the bases of how you should behave, but that's a...

No, it's not their beliefs about God that caused them to behave as they did. It was their beliefs about man and his place in the world that determined...

Consider @"TimeLine":

But there is not much doubt that in her heart of hearts Regine always loved Kierkegaard, regardless of who she married, and Kierkegaard knew this. Tha...

No, I was only kidding >:) (jk haha)

Yes but it was God's reward for Abraham's complete faith, even in letting go of what he treasured most for the sake of God. K. believed that he will h...

Yes there does remain something, which is utter devotion to God, similar to Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son. Don't forget that Kierkegaard ...

Is Kant a rational, autonomous and virtuous man? :P Okay, you're not telling me something too controversial here - I agree :D I don't remember the par...

I think a personal God requires revelation, and the Abrahamic religions are the only religions where there is any sort of historical revelation. Such ...

No, I wouldn't consider Schopenhauer an atheist.

Haha okay!

What do you mean by the thumbs up lol? Thumbs up for what?

No, at least not all of them. St. Thomas Aquinas, or Augustine for example certainly don't turn God into an impersonal force. But Averroes does turn G...

Would you think that ISIS is sufficiently rational to even be worth negotiating with? I can't but feel that negotiating with terrorists - in essence, ...

Yes I obviously agree with God creating the world such that virtuous living leads to flourishing. The God of the philosophers is a phrase used by Pasc...

I think the difficulty here is that there are many different paths advocated to getting mystical experiences, so many people don't know what to believ...

I quite agree with Hanover on this point. It's like this. It's not that I'm saying Western culture is superior to other cultures around the world beca...

I'm sure you've heard of people who have had a sudden change of heart/personality - for example going from completely non-religious (of the militant k...

By the way, just to illustrate that rationality/reason isn't all there is to morality. What's your position on the story of Abraham and Isaac? Was Abr...

That's the problem. Exactly! But don't take this as relativism, it's not. Moral values are absolute, but they pertain to the subject not the object. F...

>:O >:O >:O

Really? When was the last time I agreed with you? >:O

I agree with this.

We've been doing far worse to the poor Africans historically. Why aren't they all up in arms and sending mugged faced terrorists over to bomb us? Hist...

Thanks for admitting you are hostile :D (Y) >:O
