It's the result of the affective part of the soul, not of the thinking/rational part. Again the bombastic words. Dear God in Heaven. You just love tal...
Yes there is. We have many people on the Left who openly complain about the actions of the West against Radical Islamic Terrorism, and the measures th...
Well I think there's a bit of fabrication on the part of Osho there. K. decided to leave R. and not the other way around, but they were engaged at tha...
The God of the New Testament is too. Hell is mentioned more often in the New Testament than in the Old. Many Jewish people don't even have much of an ...
Well yes, because I take the question to be a joke too. I don't think I've been lacking compassion towards TL in our interaction here. Why would you t...
Okay so let's see. Did I press against anyone? I kept a nice and playful atmosphere. Definitely intense! I think I was quite gentle, would you disagre...
Well being inquiring is one thing, but being indecisive is another. I think indecisiveness is a problem - it means not being able to commit despite ha...
Ok sour bunny ;) >:O Fellow feeling means being able to identify with others - their pains, suffering, etc. Fellow feeling emerges out of a - like you...
Yes goodluck doing that. It's the state of nature. We can contain evil, but never eliminate it. Well yes, they are. Who's buying all those weapons and...
Yes but would you lack integrity? You'd be truthful in your actions. You'll admit you want to believe Y, but can't because you know Y is false, and X ...
It's so peachy the sound of it melts inside my ears sugar-coated babydoll! I don't live in a metaphysical realm, but one does not cultivate compassion...
You have quite a dirty imagination. I wasn't making any sexual allusion there - just playing with words about the feeling of compassion itself. In fac...
Oh it's good to hear you find it nice, honeybunny. Compassion isn't derived - it's primal. It has to do not with the rational part of the soul, but wi...
I think Kant created a moral abomination with his categorical imperative. Schopenhauer was right - Kant was thoroughly deluded in terms of morality. M...
No doubt that the religious are capable to have either far more meaningful or far more successful lives than atheists generally, so in that sense it w...
When you type in Google "philosophy forums" one of the suggested results is "philosophy forums 180 proof" - why do you think that is? Because many peo...
Hahaha, he's moved to another level. But let's be real - https://preview.ibb.co/dQkW7a/Screen_Shot_2017_06_05_at_11_35_44.png Are you on that level?! ...
A befitting #666 post. Schopenhauer did not adhere to any religion, but he was a religious man nonetheless. He affirmed the existence of the transcend...
I believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - the Christian God - and not the God of the philosophers. Because that's the conception of God that ...
I disagree. They may say you're a dick, but that's merely their way of trying to peer-pressure and force you to obey their will by making you feel bad...
Okay so basically you have this neighbour who is a woman whose husband is always out. She uses your gf to stay with her kids, while she goes fucking a...
Common man... why are you purposefully being such a sophist? It's crystal clear that you're making absolutely no effort to engage in discussion, and b...
Not true. If I were a dictator I'd worry most about those close to me betraying me, or organising rival factions. They control the power, not the publ...
How come I supported Trump's election then? I'm a conservative, and everyone knows that. I'm responding to the injustice here because there's somethin...
Yes there are definitions you make up in order to hide behind your nonexistant philosophy. Since when is earning (in any of the above definitions) nec...
You can't even recognise a syllogism? 1) I didn't earn anything 2) Worth is derived from what has been earned 3) Therefore I am not worth anything. Yo...
So you'd rather be like one of those little girls crying about injustices around the world while sitting in their comfortable homes and doing nothing ...
No this doesn't follow. 1) I didn't earn anything 2) Therefore I'm not worth anything That's an incomplete argument right there. (2) doesn't follow fr...
Why? So that I give them the joy of laughing in my face? Yeah, so what? It's a terrible thing. So? Is that gonna change it? I care about terrible thin...
Yes, because they're doing politics. I don't expect them to play fair to begin with. That's how politics is. If I have an opponent in politics, I woul...
Right, and since when is an internet forum the equivalent of politics? :s We're not here to battle out for political victory, so I don't understand at...
Politics is politics. The players of politics (that doesn't mean you the citizen) know this. Democracy, or oligarchy or dictatorship - they don't care...
Yes, but you're neglecting to mention the fact that Wayfarer is a pink-cloud flying 60s liberal spirituality guy. That's expected from him. But in all...
In what sense it had fallen? In the sense that there were severe shortages of food, social and economic unrest, etc.? Sure. But it was still a very st...
