I think that it can be worn in some sort of radical sense, but that there is a sort of apologetic that goes along with some of the support for doing s...

He just kind of went of the rails on the defensive and really did come off as sort of closet racist in my opinion. I don't really care to treat Dawkin...

I more or less agree with the atheist critique that the burden of proof is on whoever is making "outrageous" claims. To return to the topic at hand, I...

Well, you could always write. It's not usually the most fortuitious career path, but I think that there could be a real demand for more philosopher au...

I like this idea. Although, I wonder if it doesn't have negative consequences. If the overdetermination of responsibility renders the concept meaningl...

the Ground of All... I like that.

Vark Vikernes is the notorious Neo-völkisch pagan who was arrested for the attempted bombing of The Blitz House, tried for the arson of four churches ...

The betterment of the leechers does better to advance my cause. I am therefore in favor of that they leech. The people who primarily "leech" off of th...

That's true enough, but I ultimately suspect for Law not to be a neutral category. It's seemingly neutral, but ultimately disadvantageous to what I wo...

I've played D&D before. I was just tossing that theory out there. When you consider Good and Evil in the Christian sense historically, I think it beco...

Like, a Paladin is like a Knight of the Templar. I've always kind of liked that sort of thing, but must admit that there is something kind of Fascist ...

Eh, perhaps. I never got too into Fantasy novels. I had a friend who was really into them and said that about High Fantasy. There's a way of interpret...

High Fantasy describes a genre of Fantasy writing. It actually just denotes that the story is set in an entirely different universe, but its usage sor...

Either Neutral Good, Lawful Neutral, or Lawful Evil. You can't be Lawful Good in High Fantasy.

What I particularly mean by left-wing is Anarcho-Pacifism. I'm a libertarian Socialist and a Pacifist. I think that it's generally okay to define Anar...

I have a theory about the D&D Character Alignment that there is not Lawful Good. There is only Neutral Good and Chaotic Good.

Everyone is capable of a lot of things, but some people are more advantaged than others. I'm just trying to figure out how to leech off of the State u...

Oh, they can choose whatever they want to. I'm just saying that it does still seem to be the case that the Republican Party doesn't have all that much...

But @"RobertMetz", you must know that while ingratiating minorities is not as good as actually satisfying minorities, meeting the diversity quota is b...

Yes and no. There are plenty of reasons not to vote. That's not really what I mean by active disengagement, though. I don't really care who votes or d...

I am very comfortable with that the Democratic Party will have to continue to pander to me. I will only exploit this so much, however. Voting isn't ev...

Sort of. The parties have changed over the years, but there's little left of the abolitionist past of the Republican Party. The Democratic Party is ju...

I would prefer a multi-party system, or some other democratic process, but would still probably have qualms with those things. I'm in favor of partici...

What is being informed? It's just a compulsive addiction to a 24-hour news cycle. A person's capacity to witness a slow train wreck does not correlate...

I am suggesting that that Trump is in office is evidence of that the system can not be meaningfully reformed in so far that such things are allowed. T...

It's always been like this, it's just never been so emphatically obvious. The manner in which it is obvious is banal. All that I have to take at Trump...

Well, I'm 29. Like I said, I'm just lazy.

I don't really think that it's a joke, though. Nothing is falling apart. It's tragic to experience the Trump presidency as American democracy falling ...

I am actually older than 25. I'm just sort of lazy with my posts. Most people fall out of Anarchism in their 20s because it's kind of tough rap that d...

No. I'm not defending Trump, I'm just lamenting upon how boring this whole thing is. Trump is like the pushy foreman from a Hollywood film made by peo...

Can you really imagine that Trump could effectively deliver Satan's lines from Paradise Lost? Give me someone like that. This is all just too tiresome...

It's always been like this. There was Bush, there was Nixon. I'm an anarchist, and, so, I don't really care about the foundations of the country, but ...

You make it sound like a bad thing. What I mean, though, is that it really is boring. You already know what to expect from the Right. It's just a lot ...

I'm not satisfied with the Trump presidency. It's so banal. I need to be engaged at the level of absurdity. Maybe The Apprentice isn't quite the right...

Yes. Trump is just some guy who needed to buy and live on his own island. Yes, but can you imagine if there was an actual season of The Apprentice tha...

Why does he need an electrified perimiter? Let Trump swim. He could eaten by a shark or something. My theory is just that if you let megalomaniacs liv...

He should be bannished to AM talk radio on the man-made island Perfidious Iowa. We can divert the border wall funding to the building of the island. M...

I read A Grammar of the Multitude a while ago and remember thinking that it was pretty good. When the World Becomes Flesh is great, but I really didn'...

I like this idea. I once thought of creating a Philosophical framework where nothing was considered to be "bad" or "evil" and everything that was eith...

There's Secular Humanism. I was in the Secular Humanists way back when I went to college for the first time around. It was pretty alright.

I think that however you reduce particles only exist in relation to other particles. The whatever it is that is there is only there by that it exists ...

There were plenty of other Socialists who were around around the time. I tend to assume that Socialism refers to some sort of preferece for an egalita...

I always just think that that should be personal or something. It's kind of garrish. I don't know. It's just a feeling that I get about those things. ...

Nozick is in the "Know Your Enemy" section of the Anarchist bookstore that I go to sometimes. I haven't actually read Nozick, though. I've only read A...

Idk, listening to "Rock and Roll Suicide" has gotten me through some tough times. Maybe there is something to those posters? You always see things lik...

Meta, meaning "above", and physics, meaning "matter and whathaveyou"... Metaphysics is seriously just a Philosophical attempt to answer "What is?" It'...

Those are interestng questions, but I do not recall asking them.

Whoa, crazy. I'm from a somewhat staunch German Catholic family. Introspection is only permissible in so far that it relates to the divine. They're no...

Well, okay, but I think that the Wikipedia article is fine. It sems like we both would be. I'm not sure that there is much to be gained through specul...

In a nutshell, I suppose. It's not a terribly homogeneous field, and, so, whatever anyone says Queer Theory is just sort of true. They don't want for ...
