What's wrong with discussing loyalty? Isn't loyalty an important quality in your friends, in people you associate with, people you do business with, e...
Yes, more or less, this is exactly what I think. Nietzsche painted a fair picture of the popular Christianity in his day and age, but certainly not a ...
But this "other-worldly" transcendence is actually no transcendence at all since it is in-truth conceptualized as another immanent possibility of the ...
Is spirituality in its healthy form not always both "this-worldy" (immanent) and "other-worldly" (transcendent)? It seems that "this-worldly" action i...
Rationally Kim knows that unless he does something he will lose power sooner or later. He is squeezed to the very end at the moment, and his nukes are...
Now you're learning :joke: The thing to consider is how negatively you will be affected if your concession is not reciprocated. In that case, in this ...
Not necessarily. Concessions are important to make, and a freely made concession will sometimes elicit a concession from the other side as well - or a...
I agree. Yeah, it's done quite well. Shows how much Google loves content. And no better way to get content than with a forum. TPF has relatively few b...
I highly doubt that peace will be achieved in the Palestine-Israel region anytime soon. That will continue to be the centre of some of the biggest con...
Another thing many people don't realise is that you can learn those subjects by yourself. Really, even in a technical subject like civil engineering (...
I agree with a lot of this. The other disadvantage of working a job is that if you lose your job, you literarily have no way to earn your money - you ...
But anyway, I don't think this college college college is good advice for young people. It's YOUR life, you have to decide how you want to live it. It...
I can tell you 100% that college was useless for me. Nobody ever asks me for a CV - nobody. Not even one person. Nobody knows what I studied in colleg...
Evidently. 30% of billionaires don't have a college degree. However, that 30% is very high, and shows that not having a degree is not a shortcoming to...
There are disadvantages. The main ones are: • Debt • Social Pressure • Wasted energy while young (education can be very long if you do PhD, etc.) Why ...

LOL - then why did Hume think that death is nothing to be feared, and died in a very peaceful & calm manner, such that even his enemies were impressed...
Someone gave me this awhile ago, and I've become a lot more sympathetic to it over time than I was at first. But on the contrary, why would death be a...
Don't worry, I have bought a lot of this stuff over the past year, now I no longer have to go to the gym :lol: Except that, unfortunately, I've lacked...
Dostoevsky was a believer in God, a firm believer in fact. He was very critical of the Ivan type of atheists. How is this a repression? No, this would...
What are you talking about? Dostoevsky was a religious man, he died with the Bible in his lap. And Levinas wasn't exactly an atheist either. Don't kno...
It depends what you mean by comfort. It doesn't take away the pain of those who are suffering, but it makes it easier to psychologically accept their ...
That is to suppose that we could get all the other good things without the bad ones. I don't grant that supposition, I see no reason for making it. Th...
LOL - do you even read what I write?! I said the POSSIBILITY of gout is necessitated by our biological structure. Not the actuality of it. So I don't ...
