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...

being refers to any existing thing Being refers to the existence of the thing. The reader understands from the context.
December 07, 2016 at 19:40
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 ...
December 07, 2016 at 14:54
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...
December 06, 2016 at 11:47
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 ...

Thus spoke the slave :P Nietzsche didn't call it slave morality for no reason.
December 05, 2016 at 22:53
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...
December 05, 2016 at 22:53
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...

No gay with me please :-O

And what's with this Agu?? Do you think I'm like this guy: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/samuraijack/images/b/b7/Aku.png
December 05, 2016 at 19:35
Yeah I was thinking about it. I'm an immigrant and I'm supporting the folks who want to kick my ass out - at least I'm doing something original.
December 05, 2016 at 19:34
Oh yes, I even have many black friends/acquaintances. You forget I've lived and worked in the West for quite some time.
December 05, 2016 at 19:31

Okay Hitler >:O

If I go have a sex change, can I not refrain then? Will I be permitted and indulged? ;)
December 05, 2016 at 19:19
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...
December 05, 2016 at 19:18
>:O It's not the humanities as such - only postmodernism that annoys you ;)
December 05, 2016 at 19:12
Oh no, disaster! How does nonexistance feel like? Is it lonely, do you want to be born again? >:O
December 05, 2016 at 19:05
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 ...
December 05, 2016 at 19:03
What's happened, did you get triggered? >:O
December 05, 2016 at 18:52
But I like to view women as angels, that's why I hate those who aren't ;)
December 05, 2016 at 17:48
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...
December 05, 2016 at 17:45
That so called insecurity is merely a trick they use to get attention. I will look at the links soon, I'm a bit busy atm.
December 05, 2016 at 17:30
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...
December 05, 2016 at 17:25
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...
December 05, 2016 at 17:23
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...
December 05, 2016 at 17:15
Are you sure that you're not living 1-2 centuries ago? :D
December 05, 2016 at 17:10
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...
December 05, 2016 at 16:52
Fuck the masses! Why should we bother with what people with 2mm brains say? >:O
December 05, 2016 at 16:40
That's a non-significant difference - 22% vs 18%. Probably. Yes. Because there are biological, physical and spiritual differences between the sexes. S...
December 05, 2016 at 16:36
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...
December 05, 2016 at 12:15
>: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...
December 05, 2016 at 11:38
Yes, I'm from Eastern Europe, but I lived in the West as well.
December 05, 2016 at 10:29
Then let me answer it. NO! Now why are you asking rhetorical questions? >:O
December 05, 2016 at 10:26
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 ...

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, ...
December 04, 2016 at 23:32
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...
December 04, 2016 at 23:27
But ultimately they found out no? So that defeats the whole point you're trying to make
December 04, 2016 at 22:42
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...
