Stop having your little egos offended by a little braggadocio from Mr. Trump. I suggest you listen to the whole of it honestly, otherwise, you're just...
That's not relevant for the purposes of this discussion, only that Schopenhauer accepted that there is something other than Will, that seems to be not...
That's not necessarily true, that would depend where you are located. I wouldn't meet any of you most likely because we live in different countries (a...
Yeah, sure I don't disagree, it's just that I don't have much time nowadays for Facebook, nor do I really have anything useful to do there :s - I can'...
Well, "illusion" is meaningful to many people, apparently, you don't find it meaningful, that's okay. But it's only because you have defined it in a u...
Well, I'd say if the parents are in an unstable situation, financially, in terms of health, etc. it wouldn't be a wise thing to have children, obvious...
I know that Schopenhauer would say that, but I'm not quite sure. In hunger, the subject and object are the same it seems to me. That's why I said: Her...
Well right, if you define illusion as that which doesn't exist, no wonder then that you struggle to say what an illusion actually is or feel perplexed...
Rarely, because it's not cool to be on the right. I was ostracised at University for being on the right for example (I'm talking cultural matters now,...
I have not studied Whitehead. >:O - and would it move out of my way then? It's a me vs you dialectic not because you said it, but rather because I rea...
Well you're not providing a definition or showing me what it is :s - so of course you have no idea why illusions are introduced into philosophy when y...
Once you define what this mysterious, magical, or illusory are (since now you're just giving me synonyms right now), I will be able to tell you what I...
Yes, but don't forget that the Will appears as "nothing" to those where no Will is present, and inversely, everything else (non-Will) appears as "noth...
Proof. >:O It's all peer pressure... Young people are on the left without even thinking. It's just cool. What was I saying - if we change culture and ...
An illusion is not a substance, it has no being. An illusion is a misunderstanding. So when you say that it's not some sort of an illusion, I have no ...
So to come back to the idea of the "first creature opening its eyes" - that is nonsense. The Will exists eternally, it does not need this "first creat...
More - a species that survives does not know (leaning towards cannot know) what is true. Yes, Will is like the serpent that eats its own tail - Will c...
Yes, I am obviously attempting inquiry. That depends on what you mean by illusion. When we say the representation is an illusion, we don't mean that t...
No, the claim was more radical than that - we cannot know the truth of the world as such - the truth of the world for us is will. It does have an aim....
Yes, in the sense that the nature of Justice does not depend on what X or Y think about it (only sophists would say otherwise). That's exactly what Pl...
How can people say that MSNBC is unbiased? :s How can people claim this isn't fake news & propaganda? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nhoGIvOKJU Ther...
Truth is of course person-independent, what's wrong with that? Man is not the measure of all things, that would be ridiculously anthropocentric, not t...
Well, evidently those means I mentioned aim to change the structure that has already been placed there by our culture & society through the way we wer...

No, this isn't just about Christianity here. It's rather about the fact that no spiritual or religious tradition has currency anymore - Western man ca...
No Wos, it's actually quite a rational and mathematical reason. What's a superhuman? 1 in how many human beings? 1/10,000? 1/100,000? 1/1,000,000? If ...
Well would you expect to have met a super human? Presumably, super humans are rare right? If they were common occurrence, they wouldn't be super human...
Yeah, it's possible he was, but the extent to which that went on for is unknown. And there was quite a lot of conflict it seems between Krishnamurti a...
Well, obviously the origin of all sexual desire is in biology. No one would deny that. But you seem to deny that these primary desires can be inflamed...
The point you're refusing to acknowledge is that what you put your finger on isn't a universal way of experiencing reality, or even the objective way....
Hope isn't the same thing as having a goal. Someone can have a goal and even pursue it without any hope. I also deny it is the truth about life. But i...
