Yeah of course, because the better the performance is on paper, the more they get paid. So if they can make the performance seem better, and if they c...
People who don't have skin in the game don't behave rationally, that's true. So middle-level managers who have no stake in the company, etc. don't (al...
Yeah, except, how can you be sure of that? It's a sort of relative thing isn't it? How do you judge his skill compared to everyone else? If he's the b...
In a way, it's like the kid who always kicks the ball around on the street. Some people do that with no intention of ever becoming professional player...
Ummm, there are ways to make money at it. I haven't played video games in close to 10 years, but I remember that you could make good money if you play...
Yes, in many regards it is probably a myth. For example, for web development jobs, in my experience 9/10 applicants are male. Chances are, of course, ...
>:O, see, I don't like that style of thinking. I think professional video game player is a reasonable career choice, and some people do it. If it's so...
I used to have a worse impression of Peterson, because at first, it seemed to me that he's a generally stuck up person who thinks everyone should be o...
And a vast majority of them are ignorant and intolerant. Don't get me wrong, but many of the people you find in Universities today have no place there...
Yes, if you listen to his lectures he does explain why and how lying pathologises your internal structure of perception and orientation in the world. ...
Hmm when that happens to me, I just give in to it and accept it. It takes some time though to move from state of panic to state of acceptance. Then us...
It is amazing how full this world has become of liars and deceivers, everyone having an opinion on everything, even things they don't know anything ab...
Yeah, the moral of that story is that if you lie once, and you're caught lying, people won't believe you next time. Doesn't sound like such a terrible...
And because you haven't read and understood the material, and yet you are dismissing it because you don't like the conclusions emotionally, that means...
How are those moral platitudes? With regards to speaking the truth, I was not aware that lying is dangerous for your own psyche before I listened to P...
Oh yeah, says who? You? Arguably the guy who reads entire books by verbose people with no substance to communicate? :s Clearly, you have not listened ...
That's not true, he does have positions. One such position is the centrality of speaking the truth (or what you, at a certain time, perceive to be the...
That article is not worth reading, no, unless you want to waste precious minutes of your life. Only some leftists, in particular those who are (1) lik...
Took you a long time, but I knew you're a conservative at heart :D This one was a very good talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RCtSsxhb2Q I've bec...
Okay, so then how would you differentiate between the kind of rumination expressed in the article, and the kind of rumination you're talking about? Sh...
Yes, but you have to be careful here. It is possible to offer verification within a given system, but that verification is bound to be circular. For e...
@"Bitter Crank", I'm in need of your wise commentary on this recent event: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/147602 What do you reckon...
He did not end the investigation, he expressed his desire to do it, but ultimately did not act on it. We'll see, but I highly doubt anything will happ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4-bNI84ZN8 What do you people think? 1) Is Stormy Daniels just trying to ride the event to increase her popularity an...
He has said that innumerable times. Because he sees no need for such an investigation since there was no collusion. No, it's not only because it wasn'...
It is very relevant. Your good sense is often more important than the law, especially when interpreting the law for a non-lawyer, like I presume both ...
It has occurred because we share the same underlying metaphysical presuppositions with regards to these matters. How come we do? That's largely a matt...
Since you're returning to a question of utility, (2) ultimately reduces to (1). It seems to me that at first you start out by telling me that metaphys...
I can care less how lawyers find a way to classify it in the law. I'm a practical man. It's same with accounting - I don't care how accountants classi...

Yes it is. It doesn't need to be specifically mentioned in the law to be so. The law provides general principles, it never mentions all particulars of...
Any act of disobedience in the military promotes further disobedience, which aids the enemy in a war effort and prevents the cohesion that is necessar...
Yes it is, ask any lawyer that deals with military cases, and you'll see. Through all of human history, disobeying military commands was brutally puni...
And yes, if things got that far, there would be a lot of chaos, and we'd move into a mode of operation that is outside the constitution, with differen...
