Certainly I think you are right. We are always being in the world - in an environment. Prospering does have to do with an environment, but it doesn't ...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience! You've gone through a lot! Real knowledge doesn't require degrees or books, but just a careful unders...
Perhaps - but what does this distinction have to do with the point that I was making, or really the point of this thread? Thorongil understood what I ...
Yes but that distinction isn't necessary to see the distinction I was making above. Subjects of experience are transcendental to the objects of experi...
Words move and have their being (and meaning) within the context they are used. A chair is a being, and it exists because it is found within Being. Bu...
Certainly. But I'm not referring to people different than us, simply to the state of society. Otherness isn't necessarily other people who happen to h...
The Chinese strategic brain is the greatest in the world. Greater than the American! You watch and see how modern politics plays out. China will be gr...
The Art of War should be read, and notes taken on every page. To seek fame is to be attached to a goal which doesn't have practical value - fame isn't...
Yes, I did. What you're experiencing is the power of your mind in constructing reality. The power of your mind in determining reality. Reality isn't o...
But Ciceronianus, I feel that otherness is in many regards in our control. The state of our society, the state of the world, is due to people who are ...
How so? Does this mean moral equality amongst people? Or? I'm highly highly skeptic of historical narratives which have direction. Human history, I am...
That's kind of disgusting you know BC >:O Wasn't Freud the fella who taught that illusions are good? They help us remain sane? :P Now if that's the tr...
I agree entirely to this. I disagree that men were superior to women through history. Now that's just revisionism and it's just false. You say that, a...
Is this Professor a feminazi? :P The curious thing BC, is that women actually treat us men like beasts of the field who can't control themselves - at ...
I think that much rather than that, is that their minds are continuously focused on dirty intentions, and so they think everyone else is like that. He...
That's not true. The very social people I have met aren't consciously immoral, they just simply don't have a brain! They get themselves into so much t...
You are right boss. It is a negative tendency that I have to disparage unintellectual people, which I should keep more in check. It just angers me, th...
Why? I've always found these social "covers" as you call them hypocritical and absurd. I never had such inhibition for example - if I'm naked in a pub...
And can I know why we need to act like Machiavellian undercover manipulators? Does that make you feel good about yourself or what? You like being like...
That's a non-significant difference - 22% vs 18%. Probably. Yes. Because there are biological, physical and spiritual differences between the sexes. S...
So you admit, freely and openly, that there is oppression in society that isn't the "strongman oppression". Yes she does, she wants to do precisely th...
>:O Okay, but why do you think it's not true? (by the way I appreciate the honest talk, I take no offence from it, I always appreciate honesty) You me...
lol but I thought that since you don't want to bring children into the world, and you consider non-existence to entail an end to suffering, therefore ...
Yes you will see me riding on my horse Bucephalus in a sign of superiority over everyone else >:O Ok let me stop with the jokes now. In all seriousnes...
You didn't but you presumed I would be saying that - or at least that's the impression I got from your post, my apologies if I'm wrong. I agree. Yes, ...
No there aren't any conflicts, how could there be conflicts between two fields which have nothing to do with each other? I don't think this divide exi...
All lies my friend. Let's see. So because I'm annoyed by the permissiveness of today's culture I'm fond of oppression - right. And according to you it...
