>:O it was!
February 08, 2017 at 16:23
lol on what do you mean?
February 08, 2017 at 16:20
Could the paperwork saying something different instead of being non-existent be worse? Yes the principle is indeed reasonable, but as reasonable as mo...
February 08, 2017 at 16:16
Okay, first let's make some distinctions. Yes theoretically the administrator/CEO of the company is the one bearing all the accountability (unless of ...
February 08, 2017 at 15:46
True True Yeah, where do you get the money for those? It gets easy once you can get those. The hard part is getting to that point. Making that money s...
February 08, 2017 at 15:30
That's not exactly true. CEOs typically are politically manipulative - but they're only capable within an already existent structure. They're not capa...
February 08, 2017 at 15:25
Managing people in a company that already works, and has a built hirearchy and a lot of resources isn't difficult at all. Even a monkey could do it. I...
February 08, 2017 at 15:22
I haven't said I rank individuals I meet on that table by virtue of them holding a certain position. I merely stated that most CEOs aren't terribly sm...
February 08, 2017 at 15:18
No I haven't said I admire the CEOs at all. I said I admire People who make their own jobs - who contribute with their own value. This may very well n...
February 08, 2017 at 15:15
Yeah, I actually admire those. But the point is there's nothing great about simply having a job. It's about your creativity, learning skills that are ...
February 08, 2017 at 15:05
Hah hah! I forgot to laugh. Securing a challenging job - let me tell you, even if someone made me CEO of Microsoft tomorrow I'd refuse. Unbelievable t...
February 08, 2017 at 14:57
Oh yeah, and guess what, Hanover means by "paternalism" and "fatherhood" promiscuity and the like. He certainly didn't tell Question to go and get mar...
February 08, 2017 at 14:46
I endorse this advice fully. All my experience is congruent with this. (Y)
February 08, 2017 at 14:30
Then your mother should be ashamed of herself.
February 08, 2017 at 14:27
Yes, but in order to be more than that worm, you have to accept the possibility of being that worm. Only when fear of being that worm has been overcom...
February 08, 2017 at 13:46
Perhaps we should remind ourselves what I said to Hanover in a thread sometime ago - he frequently thinks he's at the pub talking BS with folks who ca...
February 07, 2017 at 22:25
Do you think for example that Descartes is unfairly out of favour today? Well most philosophers earn their money based on the diversity of their resea...
February 07, 2017 at 22:18
Because people never think about those things generally... And even when they do, many are still confused, not to mention that such things don't have ...
February 07, 2017 at 21:57
That's if you believe Hume. I don't find that to be the case. I find that we believe something to be plausible when it is coherent.
February 07, 2017 at 21:45
It's not ridiculous at all, it's simply the only plausible explanation for our experience as far as I can see.
February 07, 2017 at 21:37
Finally some good sense has befallen on this thread! Thank you Sir! :D
February 07, 2017 at 21:35
Finally - now that we've cleared the way, time to address your actual points instead of laugh at you and mock you as some prefer to do. They should kn...
February 07, 2017 at 21:27
Can a thought kick a stone? No. If the two realms interacted causally, we would see a lot more expanded causation between the two.
February 07, 2017 at 21:21
And indeed they don't cause it - that's precisely the point!! Thought cannot affect extension. No there is no causation, just the pure correlation. Wh...
February 07, 2017 at 21:09
Substance. Substance being a metaphysical category cannot be an empirical one - thus you cannot ask what is it, the way you ask what a chair is....
February 07, 2017 at 20:59
Oh yeah, this unscrupulous prick is back :-} And what are you Hanover, pray tell me? You're supporting yourself, but what use is that? There's nothing...
February 07, 2017 at 20:58
Yes - they are two perspectives of the same thing, so they are necessarily correlated. They couldn't be two perspectives of the same thing if they wer...
February 07, 2017 at 20:57
Be careful - seeming lack of ambition can be the mask for the greatest of ambitions. The thing with great ambitions (unlike puny ambitions) is that th...
February 07, 2017 at 20:48
What is your explanation for the correlation between serotonin in the brain and happiness. Why are they correlated? Well it seems to me that you want ...
February 07, 2017 at 20:47
So then, what are you doing around here trying to speak of them? Why are they correlated?
February 07, 2017 at 20:42
Have you been reactivated by someone? >:O You seemed to have vanished
February 07, 2017 at 19:59
You could take a million examples. Feeling happy is serotonin released in the brain seen under the attribute of thought. Serotonin released in the bra...
February 07, 2017 at 19:06
LOL Why my penis?! :-O
February 07, 2017 at 19:02
We do know, that's why we established the reality of the One Substance. The attributes cannot but be two parallel perspectives, since underlying them ...
February 06, 2017 at 21:40
I have another one which may be similar which happens to me whenever I don't sleep for a night, and then go to sleep. I half-wake from sleep still lar...
February 06, 2017 at 21:34
I sometimes feel similar in mine, but at some point I was just like - "What's the point of opposing?" and there was some opposition left, but I felt d...
February 06, 2017 at 21:13
This could have been the case - however - all attributes are necessarily parallel to each other. This is similar to the performance of music and the m...
February 06, 2017 at 21:05
This - this is the core of your disagreement. The point is your position, transcendence + immanentism is incoherent. It just is contradictory, you can...
February 06, 2017 at 19:10
Okay, but when I judge things I tend to judge by what the philosopher has written, not by what I could get him to agree on. Undoubtedly Berdyaev has a...
February 06, 2017 at 19:04
The test was a moral test though, so we're not done at all...
February 06, 2017 at 19:01
>:O LOL!
February 06, 2017 at 18:44
:-}
February 06, 2017 at 16:37
Please note there is a difference here that I've explained to Emptyheaded above.
February 06, 2017 at 10:35
Interesting - did you ever try to give in to it? This is again interesting, although personally I've never experienced anything like this. When I do d...
February 06, 2017 at 10:25
Intellectual celebrities by today's standards are pretty much not worth discussing with, in my frank opinion. I wouldn't gain much out of a chat with ...
February 06, 2017 at 10:22
:P (L) yay! haha
February 06, 2017 at 10:04
:’( Why did you remove the gif? It was hilarious! >:O
February 06, 2017 at 10:00
Let's see - maybe her future husband? Maybe, if the "two lads" have partners, maybe one of them? Maybe their conscience? Maybe their families? The web...
February 06, 2017 at 09:47
What?! You mean he should've said Agustino saw through his ploy? :-O >:O
February 05, 2017 at 23:38
I sometimes have it, it's a very interesting experience to be honest. Mine happens just when I fall asleep when it does. The feeling is of a great sur...
