Okay Johnny, you're next. Wayfarer apparently couldn't handle it, so it seems he has decided to leave the forums. Let's see if your philosophy is weak...
Tell that to these Buddhists: http://www.buddhanet.net/nutshell09.htm http://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/1891/what-is-the-precise-meaning-of-...
Can I be a person of significance if someone doesn't give me that significance (or I don't give it to myself)? In what sense is it even possible to ta...
Why does it seem so to you? The rest of your comment honestly seems like nonsense to me. I don't even understand what you're trying to say. You're def...
Capitalism is like the man who at night goes and throes stones breaking the windows of his neighbours' houses, and in the morning comes in to repair t...
This is the same point I've made before that there is a tension between the individual and society (or the family) which has to be maintained for the ...
Where is such a premise? Where do you see a premise, in the single premise argument, which states that the "number 2" is a a subset of "numbers divisi...
Well I think I missed you too :P There's few on these boards like you with insight to talk to about really significant matters (I love that your philo...
No it's tautologous because you're saying that: A Therefore if X is subset of A, then X is true It's a tautology because A already affirms the truth o...
I agree. Life is a mixture of pragmatism and love. A family without love is at best an army - that is if it hasn't also lost the other pillar holding ...
Then I certainly don't have a "perfect life" nor a "beautiful wife", for physical beauty would not be sufficient to make her a beautiful wife. Well I'...
If you form an argument like: All numbers divisible by 2 are even Therefore if 2 is divisible by 2, then 2 is even You're saying a little bit of tauto...
I haven't claimed it was. I merely claimed that "all numbers divisible by 2" includes 2 - I don't understand what the hell you're going on about. Not ...
If you want the truth, I actually view your own transcendentalism as nihilistic as it evacuates any and all meaning from this world, and transports it...
It was clear from my second reply to you. A motive is grounded in something - in the relationship of the person with reality - hence why I said that I...
They are almost nonsense to the person in question because they don't have access to their first person relationship with reality, not because they ca...
Not only our own motive, the motive of others too are knowable. The source of our own motive is not knowable because it cannot be put into concepts. T...
It is the same: The path as to how these persons arrive at having such fundamental motivations is not known. Why? Because their motives emerge from th...
We don't share fundamental motives with others. However, them reaching their goal may help me to reach mine and conversely, in which case we'll both w...
This motive is entirely knowable to the more self-conscious amongst us, at least our own is. It's our own individual purpose for being here, bestowed ...
I disagree because some motives are primary. It's simply what it means to be Noble Dust that you have such a driving motive. Without it, you lose your...
Knowing what his motives are is different than understanding why they are his motives. It's part of his freedom, having chosen those motives (or being...
Because one's motives reveal themselves to them, and to no one else. I do not know how, for example, the guy wanting to become Chinese Emperor, how he...
So the transcendent is a state within reality then. If so, how is it transcendent? But why are they practically and pragmatically needed? What is ther...
The motive is strictly personal - one could want to live in Hawaii because they were born in very poor conditions, where life was very difficult and a...
I've read the article, it's more or less of what I've read before. Again it doesn't convince me for the simple reason that there are serious difficult...
Still there is no concept of it for probably more than half of the world's population - Muslims + Christians. That is a serious problem for any sort o...
I'm not saying they should stop - I am not concerned about what they're doing. I'm merely indicating that I think their activity is pointless - "it is...
Of course so? My reality and your reality are not the same, for the simple reason that we live in different communities, we have different backgrounds...
:-O I notice you said some blasphemy towards the Great One there... They can ask why till they're blue in the face, the only thing is that I cannot ev...
Yeah I have used it - in this case the word - to make a moral claim. So? Only in your mind. I refused to admit that I used steak as a means of being m...
So we go from using steak as a means to the end of not eating steak to using steak to make a moral claim >:O Not riding unicorns is moral Unicorns don...
*facepalm* okay redefine terms as you will (because I wasn't using abstinence in that sense). Then I will state: Not eating steak is moral I do not ea...
So the definition of abstaining from steak is not eating steak correct? If so, then this assertion of yours is false. I am using my abstinence, not th...
