To be frank, those comments were made against Maw, who himself is one of the most pretentious posters on this forum, frequently making posts containin...
Actually, I wanted to get your help that time guys, but I was unable to PM anyone :rofl: - it said it blocked me for 60 seconds, but it was way more t...
LOL - most of Peterson's fans have already graduated college and are men who are struggling to find a job or fit in the workplace, or know what to do ...
In university geotechnical engineering was my favorite! Though I've never practiced in geo. But yes, I remember that dealing with soils employed a lot...
Yah, the uncertainty and also the inability to do it on your own is something that pulled me away from civil engineering. Although, I've learned a lot...
There are quite some differences from what I've noticed between CE in US and in Europe. Would be interesting to discuss one day. You will also educate...
Exactly. Yes, it is a choice, but it's a lot harder, since you actually have to think, and work out your thoughts to create a coherent whole, you can'...
Man, the ressentiment on these forums is sometimes amazing. Nietzsche was right. Listen to this - complaining that it's difficult to respond to precis...
Oh yeah, definitely man. I tell you, those civil engineers also have them math skills - first subtraction, then division for access, and finally avoid...
Sorry to hear, that is very sad :( Hope you feel better soon. Remember the conversation we had awhile ago when you said you feel invulnerable now, and...
The forum of civil engineers - we're the only ones who would put a sewage system in a playground. And of course I play there - I am a civil engineer, ...
LOL :rofl: , funny, but there are other ways to gain knowledge in life. Science is useful, don't get me wrong, in its limited field of application. Bu...
I do not base my life on shifting grounds. So I cannot base my life on scientific findings which exist today, but tomorrow could turn out to be wrong....
I wasn't thinking of authoritarianism, I was thinking more along the lines of constitutional monarchies. In any case, a system different from democrac...
It's also that Western countries have developed a fetish for democracies. This doesn't exist in other regions of the world. China and Russia, for exam...
Although yes, I do quote Kant and Aristotle quite often. If you search for my name + kant or my name + aristotle you'll find quite a few results, unli...
I think Mariner & 180 Proof were both great posters. Busycuttingcrap, however, was a dogmatic poster with whom I did not find it possible to have reas...
When did I engage with them? :rofl: Why are you making such a big fuss about it then? I said something that you obviously find to be untrue - why is i...
Dearest MU :heart: :snicker: I am back. There's nothing absurd with my conditional. If you do not will the actions, then they are not yours, since the...
This is questionable. I can get you to speak to a lot of people in Eastern Europe who much preferred communism to democracy. In addition, quantifying ...
Yes - I find it absurd and extremely arrogant to think that the status quo of today is in accordance with the facts. That's what all cultures until ou...
Indeed. But history shows us that all forms of political organisation change. Today democracy, tomorrow monarchy. What is the problem? The problem is ...
Then why is it that Descartes, Spinoza, etc. all feared persecution and were very careful about what they said? Was it not because, in many ways, they...
Why should we think liberal democracy is the best or only way of organising our societies politically? :confused: Just because that's the current stat...
Maw, you know, if I actually am the smartest man in the room, there's nothing that you can say that will change that, so why bother? And if I'm not th...
:lol: :lol: No worries, it was funny. I like how much outrage a simple comment has caused, which wasn't even that offensive to begin with, more of a f...
That is the thing. You want me to play the game by your own rules, but my whole point is that your rules are wrong. That is why I laugh about them. Mo...
This seems very similar to Thomas Metzinger's Ego Tunnel and Phenomenal Self Model. A common position in modern philosophy of mind - being common alre...
