I'm not sure what those references mean :P - so if you wish that I understand better, you'd have to explain in idiot language. :P

Oh? I still don't use real birthdate >:O (unless it's an official, business related thing). But I think I'm just paranoid. Looking around, many people...

Just out of curiosity, why was this?
December 17, 2017 at 13:03
I look at this change as a defeat. The people in charge of this website used you as (1) a sacrifice in order to be able to say that moderators (themse...

It's funny that I see this much like you, but I've also been deceived with regards to Wosret in the past, so I wouldn't jump to your conclusion so qui...

I don't think it's a question of stupidity and intelligence. People often take practical matters to be matters of someone being more intelligent than ...

That Aristotle is a kind of Platonist isn't very much in doubt. However, saying that Kant is a Platonist is very much different. In what sense is he a...

Ummmm. No, they are subjective and they pertain to whatever creatures experience things in space. I never meant by subjective that they pertain only t...

Right, I agree that they are internalised in Kant, but that's precisely the problem. If they are internalised, then they are mind (understanding) depe...

It's a crucial point that has been lost ever since the mind has been reconceived as "constructive" by the neo-Kantians - in that they took the mind's ...

No worries :)

No, I wasn't referring to that sort of scenario. I was referring to the sort of scenario where, say, someone saw a murder, but the murderer later thre...

What distinctions aren't supportable? Excellent exposition. I would add that this view of substance is inescapable for Aristotelians and even Cartesia...

Sure, but isn't "skin in the game" one of the criteria you will use to determine the truth ceteris paribus?
December 16, 2017 at 20:23
Right, so no wonder you haven't adequately judged the matter if you don't know the criterion of truth in this case. I suggested that the criterion of ...

I think governments may very well convert the USD or their currencies to a blockchain technology based on the distributed ledger. Well yeah, that's no...

Oh man BC! Back in the stone ages, aren't we? X-) The way to do this is you go to the search box that you see at the top, and you type there 'Cicero',...

Yeah, I have skipped over profiting by buying it and trading it, but that seems more of a "consumer" approach. In becoming a miner or creating your ow...

Sure, but not everyone has the skill to make them into a raft, even if it's a 'bad' raft. The raft represent the teachings - the teachings may now be ...
December 16, 2017 at 11:09
That's not a logical truth.
December 16, 2017 at 11:06
I never liked this parable of the raft. Largely because of the ending of "leaving the raft behind" instead of sending it back down the stream so that ...

Ohhhhh >:) so you finally decided to emerge from the basement? O:) X-)

How will they manage that? The only way they'll succeed is if they become the miners. Or in collaboration with the government, they change the USD to ...

Okay. My apologies. Luther didn't reject all the sacraments, he just disagreed with the Aristotelian interpretation of transubstantiation which was co...
December 13, 2017 at 11:49
I recommend you go back to things you know, such as smoking weed. Clearly, you don't understand what "literarily" means.
December 13, 2017 at 11:27
Thanks.
December 13, 2017 at 10:33
Can you explain what value the distributed ledger technologies have in clear terms? I've been asking many people this, and so far nobody has given a v...

No, the hired workers will pay for themselves out of the revenue that they produce. So you are hired today, but you don't get paid until after 30 days...

So when told by Tiff that she shouldn't edit ND's posts, why did TimeLine reply "I'm learning"? @"Noble Dust" should clarify which of his posts were e...

Do you see Noble Dust's post that reads "PIZZA"? That was edited by TimeLine. And when asked about it, she said she did not moderate him. This is tota...

Excuse me - modify doesn't mean you get to make up things someone never wrote. That modification is supposed to be for the purpose of displaying, dist...

I think the gnostics are heretical. Not only were they considered heretical back in the day, but their doctrines actually are heretical. Voegelin writ...
December 11, 2017 at 10:35
Please do not take heart at what TimeLine says - she's a black widow by nature.
December 11, 2017 at 10:21
Valentinus comes to mind, one of the Gnostics, Basically pretty much the entire sect of Christian gnostics, which were all mystics of some stripe or a...

I told you TimeLine is a masterful politician before, didn't I?
December 11, 2017 at 10:00
Some of them sure - in fact some of them may very well have been heretical. I don't see how you make that assertion. There are many scholars of Christ...

St. Thomas Aquinas was a mystic too X-)

White Knight.
December 11, 2017 at 09:41
Because you called her arguably the most learned scholar in terms of Christian mysticism, and the notion of absorption isn't Christian.
December 11, 2017 at 09:41
That is strange, since absorption is heretical according to Christianity.

I see. Do you ever exceed the 40 hours or so mark? As in do you ever have a week when you work 60 hours say?
