I would imagine that no term could describe what "green" connotes in WG. WH would only have a rudimentary term that would never apporach what is meant...

I had the strangest experience in an Art museum one time. This was playing in one of the exhibits, and I thought, "Is this Bob Geldof!?" I liken schoo...

Formatting, drat! (It's good enough now.) This was a paper that I've just finished and wanted to share. I am also opening this forum to a general disc...

Thanks, Wallows. 'Til whenever!

I figured as such. I was just kidding.
June 30, 2019 at 01:19
I don't see why that would take a lot of education, but, I do like the point that you make.

I wouldn't argue that such Christian notions have resulted in anything negative. I also wouldn't necessarily argue that such Christian notions realist...

Sure thing, Franklin. I started off reading Tolstoy, and, later after coming through most of the Left came back around to Anarcho-Pacifism. Richard B....

I've discovered from this that I should probably play as an Elf Ranger or a Half-Elf Bard. I'm probably more of a Bard in real life, but, think that p...
June 30, 2019 at 00:30
I would concur, but, I'm an Anarcho-Pacifist, so, take that how you will. I was asking if you just saw that as the current state of affairs or the sta...

Can such circumstances be altered?

The anti-Totalitarian logic admittedly just goes into overdrive, but, how can you trust a Determinist? When the question goes unanswered, why ascribe ...

I would probably side with Erasmus, but, give a certain degree of credibility to Spinoza in spite of that I think that something like the cogito ergo ...
June 29, 2019 at 22:57
I honestly just felt like writing a polemic and doubt that the so-called "Determinists" are really that bad. The experience that I have of the world i...

To my understanding, human beings have been proven to be somewhat naturally alturistic. Humans, at the very least, have the capacity for alturism. To ...

The rejection of free will through causality is basically Analytic Philosophy's equivalent to the crypto-Behaviorist, Neo-Structuralist, pseudo-Althus...
June 29, 2019 at 22:08
I think that a lot of the rejection of the concept of free will stems from that others just want to indoctrinate people into whatever ideology that th...

I'm just going to go for the one book. How much time does anyone really need to spend on this?
June 29, 2019 at 21:40
I think that I'm looking for Murray Rothbard. Has anyone read Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature or know of any good rebuttals to it? Has anyon...

Chaotic Good Human Druid/Bard (3rd/2nd Level) When I played D&D, I think that I played as a Chaotic Good Half-Elf Wizard. My results don't suprise me ...

I think that he means to highlight the absurdity of suicide. The torment that a person has suffered has already subsided by the time that they decide ...

I would recommend just also drinking High Life in the glass bottle, but, you could be prone to buy 12 of them. I think that Red Stripe and Fat Tire ar...
June 29, 2019 at 19:35
You can drink White Russians and Moscow Mules on occasion. You probably don't want to buy bourbon and should just wait to throw down for some decent s...

I honestly think that people don't really care to do as many illegal drugs as they believes themselves to. You only want to shoot heroin once. You wou...

It is immoral as it is not in keeping with accepted standards of social behavior. I don't think that it is unethical, though. A person's own depravity...

Christ signifies the point of mediation between humanity and the divine. Within a Judeo-Christian framework, Jesus would be a maniestation of the divi...

I mean, you could always take six classes 'from' Martin Heidegger and one 'from' Sartre, but, why should you do that when there is another option?
June 29, 2019 at 17:45
I had a theory concerning Philosophy a while ago that people should teach from particular philosophers rather than schools of thought. For instnace, r...

Does anyone know of a good deconstruction of Issiah Berlin's Two Concepts of Liberty? I had this idea that positive liberties were more preferable, bu...
June 29, 2019 at 17:18
Yeah, I had figured that out, but, I'm still unsure as to what you mean by the manusive comparison. You figure things out by just whatever general way...
June 29, 2019 at 16:51
I did find one which I will read by Geoffrey Ostergaard. The search for Anarcho-Pacifism on there doesn't pull up as many results as you might expect....

It seems like the internet demands a certain degree of established distance. I think that it can be good to explore an alternative identity online, bu...
June 29, 2019 at 00:08
Yeah, I could have just confused what I knew about Schopenhauer's reactionary views with his asceticsm when I read that text. That does help to clarif...
June 28, 2019 at 23:44
Nietzsche can totally be interpreted as the Might Makes Right philosopher that Ragnar Danneskjöld makes him out to be. A lot of people excuse Nietzsch...

Triple post, sorry. It looks like that graph was not made in good faith and is just designed to make someone like Michel Foucault out to be a Marxist-...
June 28, 2019 at 22:42
I don't think that you should abide by the map. Something akin to participatoy democracy, for instance, should be in the bottom left corner. They acce...

You'd have to figure out how to peace out the entire military and get Intelligence to give up on Game Theory. Who knows how that can be done?
June 28, 2019 at 22:20
Why does this graph put Relativism in the top-left corner? Also, I am sort of the opinion that libertarian Socialism just is Anarchism, and, so, agree...
June 28, 2019 at 22:09
I honestly haven't read the entire thread. I just figured that I should chime in since I am a bit of a "relativist". I'm also somewhat confused as to ...
June 28, 2019 at 21:43
I feel like the problem arises out of a basic emotional disconnect. People fail to awknowledge that they are interacting with others online. The situa...

There is, of course, a world that exists outside of myself, but, all that anyone knows is situated in their own subjective experience. "Truth" does no...
June 28, 2019 at 20:47
I infer everything from subjective experience. What other experience does a person have of the world? You could say that it is the case that there is ...
June 28, 2019 at 20:23
tl;idrtwd All knowledge that a person has of the world stems from subjective experience. There is no such thing as "objective truth".
June 28, 2019 at 18:35
Camus' black satire somehow borderlines whimsicality whereas Sartre's woebegone lamentations never quite provide for the relief from angst. By taking ...
