I'm not sure but I first looked into him as part of my interest in Russian thinking, along with authors like Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Turgenev, Lossky, I...

No this thread isn't for me to defend any kind of idea. I made that clear in the opening post. This thread is for brainstorming, by everyone. I'm happ...

Okay, go ahead, do it. Let's see it. I will judge it, once I see it. So far it's all criticism what you're doing - nothing original. Stop sitting on t...

No of course not, because you focus on two fucking definitions instead of read what follows. First - I suggest that language/concept using animals are...

I did NOT write that review >:O https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBe_guezGGc Regarding the angry tone, it is a political book, and the imminence of dea...

Okay, replace the image then. Do something useful, don't just point fingers. We have to discuss by comparing notions. You just criticise. That's not v...

Yes I have read Plato, but I'm not interested in quibbling over notions - especially when you take words such as capacity, which I use in common parla...

We should try to make them understand.

Because that's the book he wrote when it was very likely he was going to die - so the gloves came off. That's him at his most honest.

I see, thanks for sharing! (Y)

Quit playing around, and read Philosophy of Inequality by him ;)

First of all, I have never thought about it that way. I dislike this kind of quibbling though because it doesn't get us anything of practical value. W...

The word preconception has a bad connotation. When someone says you have a preconception, generally it means you have a thought/idea you shouldn't hav...

Yes, you have to recognise that it is as it is.

What does error mean? Error means it's not according to how it should be. How should it be? That's what your preconceptions tell you. So that means yo...

You don't have to renounce them, no.

I don't quite like this academic approach. You're not really quibbling with ideas, you're quibbling with their formulations. But their formulations ar...

I don't like this formulation, because it presumes there is a "reality" set in stone, and your preconceptions have to match that reality. But I think ...

Well they have been wronged by that bad guy. But the fault isn't with that guy - that guy is a bad guy. It's their judgement that's the fault - they d...

Well I experienced the strict mother model and I am a conservative and an extrovert. Still, I fail to see this. Whether I fail in action X because of ...

But BC, I am left-wing. I am against globalization, against corporatism, against lobbying, against special interests and donors, pro environmental pro...

What does classifying success as personal achievement and ascribing failure to environmental circumstance have to do with being an extravert conservat...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehXxoUH1AlM After watching this, I was like "Oh wow, I didn't know I gave interviews before!" >:O

Yeah I think this is just about right. The human person is more than just the body.

That sounds to me like being stupid though :P and stupidity and arrogance together are quite a deadly combination. But I'm not sure it's just that - s...

I'm not quite sure what you mean by a wrong way to take it. Are you referring to ego-maniacs? And if so, what does that mean exactly? Very often our w...

But Hanover, you are the master of wit. You certainly have to post something more original, more worthy of your name in the standardless section. I me...

I disagree that failure is supposed to hurt. Only losers cry about spilt milk (and we've all been losers at some point). And no, not crying isn't bein...

Oh how unfortunate, they have to be called the same way men are called, where are the feminists? They need to be liberated so that they shall take pri...

I would but I'm afraid that we'll find out that Mongrel isn't a woman, but a man >:O She doesn't seem annoyed when called an actOR instead of an actTR...

Yes, I can see that right here:

Are you an actor? :P

Yes, I understand why you don't answer the question, don't worry >:O

:-! The more intelligent Mongrel, is the one who knows how to hide their intelligence.

No you weren't "trying" but that's what you actually did as anyone with two eyes can tell you. As for saying "now answer my question" - it seems only ...

Right. Well, goodluck with that. Any particular reason why the Great Mongrel falls so low so as to respond to someone's poor misunderstanding by insul...

Whether you should or you shouldn't that's up to you to decide. Now answer my other question.

Have you ever read Nassim Taleb's Anti-Fragile? What's that have to do with anything? What am I practicing without a license? I haven't practiced anyt...

Okay, but please understand that for the most part that's not the type of mental illness I'm referring to. I'm not referring to Alzheimer's for exampl...

Isn't "learning how to conceal my actions better than" a social skill? Concealing can only be undertaken in a society, and when it is undertaken succe...

That's the kind of generality that I don't think can quite help someone in practice. The problem is precisely that some people have a certain reaction...

Perhaps I wrongly defined my terms, because they don't account for "normal" behaviour - or standard, average, call it what you will behaviour - neithe...

What do you think about people who fail to live up to their own standards? Don't you think they are also more prone to mental illness? And if the answ...

Yes, because it aimed solely to point at what Being isn't. Being isn't a being. Existence isn't an existent. Existents are in existence. Existence isn...

The purpose of theology and philosophy is to free man of the chains of vice, and lead him towards an enlightened state of being. Thus, if his philosop...

You mean this Tillich? :-* It seems not even his philosophy could save him, why should any of us trust it?

But I've never denied that what you say is true. I believe it myself in fact. I've witnessed a loved one suffer and die because of Alzheimer, which ca...

And? ;) Have you looked what part of the forum I placed this thread in? Probably you haven't. So you should. I remind you of the rules:

I was like that. I was also very anxious, and have had anxiety since I was a child. But I feel that because of being like that I developed more pragma...
