What's the big deal if Trump "wanted" to fire him? How is that obstruction of justice? As far as I remember, wanting to do something doesn't constitut...

Mentioning Trump, this was an interesting "debate". I think the Mootch won it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdIV5w64baE

But I didn't mention him in this thread? DT has some good sides and some very bad sides, sure. What's your point?

Please do point it, because I do not see it :P You mean Alexander? Alexander certainly had his failings, but in many regards, he was a virtuous person...

I think you have this the wrong way around. One cannot acquire wealth, property, material goods, etc. if they lack self-esteem and self-confidence. So...

I'm surprised to hear you say that, because I thought your views are quite similar to Krauss's - must've been wrong.

https://media.giphy.com/media/XsUtdIeJ0MWMo/source.gif >:O In my opinion, this is a self-created problem - you hold yourself accountable to living an ...

>:O >:O >:O >:O - yeah, ridiculous, unfounded propositions, for which there is no empirical evidence like scientism :> Here's an example: Are you laug...

Heide who? >:O

And I actually agree that Scientism is a grave danger in today's society, especially as it has seeped into popular culture. Most people are not philos...

All three, I'm also a Scholastic-Aristotelian in terms of metaphysics.

It's like telling someone "you would not have had sex with a hooker, if your wife was with you" - well of course! But the reason the wife wasn't with ...

So you're telling me those grown-up men would not have behaved like that, if they did not wish the organizer to set up a party like that? :s That's si...

Yes and no. It produces "who we are" in children and young adults, but not in those who have already formed and crystalised their personality. So thos...

But society is just man writ large. So we have created those social structures because they represent who we are.

The law is useless actually for such things. If people want to do something in the first place, then they will do it, whether it's legal or not. That'...

This isn't a problem just for women, it's a problem for anyone who is in a vulnerable position. There is abuse everywhere where people are vulnerable ...

My secret, as Krishnamurti said, is that "I don't mind what happens" >:O

At least there is no double standard!

So what do we do if the woman jumps on you in the workplace and starts kissing you? Also straightforward dismissal?

I agree. That's true. Sure. I didn't say they must, in all cases, go hand in hand. Rather the point is that the virtues are mutually supporting. This ...

Yeah, that probably doesn't happen as often in the more developed countries, where the morality of the people is usually also one of the reasons why t...

The idea of "going after" someone is silly. As if that someone didn't thrive as part of a particular social structure in the first place. No politicia...

Do you reckon it's possible to separate one's personality completely from one's actions? I think the two mutually shape each other, do you disagree wi...

Why? You want to steal our money?! (joking lol)

Depending on what you mean by anxiety, it may be possible that you are avoiding the situation of being inactive "out of worry" as the quote says.

Yeah, I have suffered from and been diagnosed with anxiety at one point in my life. Both hypochondria and generalised anxiety disorder. Have you? Beca...

This is a good video I recently found again, will be watching again soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gqCw0FIylE

In relation to the above, I will say that this is much like how a government official becomes corrupt. First it's a little "yes", said for a tiny sum,...

I thought we were talking about educating the populace about sex :D I disagree with you because these things are all tied together. Someone who is lus...

Yeah, I don't know why you're telling me this. In medicine, they are classified and diagnosed as different conditions. That they are related, I never ...

They would suffer from situational depression then. Those are different conditions. One is either diagnosed with anxiety, or with panic attacks, or ma...

The idea that one can be isolated from the social context in which they live by wealth, status, or the like is bogus. If you're a genius in a society ...

No, anxiety isn't necessarily the cause of panic attacks, it can also be a symptom if the panic attack occurs seemingly randomly, in a person who does...

You should worry about stupid people, cause you have to live with them man... If you're not concerned about the education of your fellow citizens, the...

MU doesn't seem to be aware that anxiety and panic attacks are classified as different medical conditions, which is what I was saying before and what ...

Where do I write that I believe the doctors are idiots for making the dichotomy?

Why are you telling me? It's MU who doesn't understand that. I perfectly understand that panic attacks and anxiety are related, but they are different...

I don't drink coffee no... except when I drank 12 espressos in one day >:O I didn't feel effects to be honest apart from not being able to sleep, and ...

Anxiety is a different medical condition than panic attacks. Why is that? Are the doctors idiots?

Would you say it would be a problem if married couples had sex three times a day, every day, without compromising any of the other vital functions the...

So if I tell you I believe the key is on the wardrobe, but then I go and search for it under the cupboard, wouldn't you conclude that I probably lied ...

Sorry to hear man :( ... my condolences to you.

I've tried that propranolol once before, and it slowed my pulse to about 50-55, gave me ectopic beats, made me urinate a lot, and made me feel dizzy u...

Full-blown panic attack is marked by very high blood pressure (although that is normal - there is nothing wrong with it, unless you're in panic-attack...

Yeah, because people don't have time anymore, there are too many things to do. So the pressure is to compress information in as succinct as possible o...

That is true - in marketing, there is a bigger and bigger insistence to write stuff at 5th grade level >:O - so clearly, we expect people to be dumb.

If you would not want to eradicate the ubiquity, then why is it problematic?

That's not anxiety, that sounds more like a panic attack. Not the same thing. Exactly - so your way to "keep it in check" is actually to give free rei...

No, that would be a life controlled by anxiety masquerading as a balanced life. Sure, not in an absolutely necessary way. If you grant a specific cont...
