I´m European. My perception (without having any experience on US education) is that US education system prepares young adults to succeed, it has a mor...

sorry again for my bad english!

About Kant, and how i think i can deconstruct his though (this is highly presumption, i reckon!) In the finite/infinite universe antinomy (all antinom...

BC, thak you for your post. Thank you for your difference. Most of all, than you for your sapient age...
July 28, 2019 at 02:22
Ok, i don't like him also.
July 28, 2019 at 02:01
I completely get your point. But, like I already said: he´s got something... He is the president of USA. "
July 28, 2019 at 01:55
More or less. I don´t "fancy" Kant. I´m a Nietzsche and Heidegger guy :) I read the Critique of Pure Reason and truly i though he was taking steps bey...

sorry for my English, it´s not my native language! And now i´have to agree with you, this is way out of topic :) ;)
July 28, 2019 at 01:30
No concerns. No harm done. It´s all good. I already like. I liked you when i teased you into discussion. I also assume a lot og wrong things, it might...
July 28, 2019 at 01:27
Just to get this done, i´m not a Psychiatrists. I´m a Mathematician and Civil Engineer. I definitely don´t want you to kill yourself. I need you here,...

Einstein calculated black holes. Then he said, to a newspaper, that they could not exist, they were paradoxical. Everyone gets confused by their own e...
July 28, 2019 at 01:17
I was just being an prick ;)
July 28, 2019 at 01:12
Yes, your conclusions are right, starting from the assumption that we completely understand the universe (or, as preferred, the universes), as space a...
July 28, 2019 at 01:10
Excellent point, as per Trump: great! From where i stand i maybe not be able to perform that exercise. Nevertheless, what i can do, and also I can acc...
July 28, 2019 at 01:02
Sorry to disagree again :) there are no paradoxes here, neither limits to reason/logic (they are limitless by definition). Only possibilities of time ...

Subject specific morality? :) :)
July 28, 2019 at 00:39
Janus, sorry for not using big words (i understand what you say and the meaning of the words you used), but i can only see only one question here: wha...
July 28, 2019 at 00:14
Good evening Robert. I agree that there are very important tools for surviving. As sight or audition. Or speed. Or strength. Consciousness is, undoubt...
July 28, 2019 at 00:01
Correct. And the answer is we do not know yet. Gravitational waves that have been detected point to the existence of an universe consisting in 3+1 dim...
July 27, 2019 at 23:07
I like your ideas. Power came before money, way before. Power is, in essence, having the means to aim for immortality (it´s just a poetical manner to ...
July 27, 2019 at 22:38
I can´t refute any of that, I´m keen to agree with you. But Trump is smart. Not cult, not a reader or artist, just smart. People do like him, he is th...
July 27, 2019 at 22:27
As I see it, it all comes to banks, money, power. This is very zeitgeistish, i reckon. Politics are the show indeed, the bread to the people, the coli...
July 27, 2019 at 22:10
I agree. We are going the ants way ;)
July 27, 2019 at 20:24
Let me kindly spice this. Let´s say that I completely disagree with you, in a rational way. People get married to trees, so it kind of confuses me and...

I´m trying my best... ;) (sorry for my english) https://www.push4words.com/post/of-the-concern-in-being-good
July 27, 2019 at 18:41
I truly think if people get disagreement personally, in what concerns subjects like the ones that are being discussed here they should first train the...
July 27, 2019 at 18:35
I understand. That´s why I purposed the topic! :)
July 27, 2019 at 18:29
So we should open a topic, no? We could call it " On the concern of balance the need for recognition and the need to be different". What you think?
July 27, 2019 at 18:28
conflict is a conflict: opposition, battle, differ, diverge, disagree. And for the record, i don´t see it necessarily as a negative thing. Like I said...
July 27, 2019 at 18:23
But i also like your tendency to search conflicts. We can do that to if you like. :)
July 27, 2019 at 18:16
I meant that he understands people. He got the votes, did he not? So, so many flies can't be wrong, right? ;)
July 27, 2019 at 18:14
I think Trump is very smart.
July 27, 2019 at 18:09
Of course, all this is the cursed human tendency to normalize and standardize. You see, life tries everything, what endures, endures, all the rest is ...
July 27, 2019 at 18:01
What do you differ from?
July 27, 2019 at 17:30
I like this subject. It is indeed wonderful this life. And this is my argument.
July 27, 2019 at 17:04
You got where i was going to. The point, and the fact, is that we do not know, right? ("I think therefore something is."). And then it all falls into ...
July 27, 2019 at 16:40
Ok, i will develop a little more. Epistemology concerns, like you stated, what humans perceive. It does not mean that what humans perceive is real. So...
July 27, 2019 at 16:19
What if nothing exists? Then first come the notion, the concept, and only then the word (philology/etymology), that supports epistemology, right? ;)
July 27, 2019 at 16:08
Good day to all, The only fact about where it all started (if it has started) is that we do not know. And probably we will never will. And that is, un...
July 27, 2019 at 16:02
I also would like to discuss the registered tendency that intelligent people have to do not being able to relate to others.
July 24, 2019 at 22:43
Ok, if that is what works for them...but what about nice, gentle things like freedom and morals, do you not like these easy subjects?
July 24, 2019 at 21:53
and who the fuck is Dawkins??
July 24, 2019 at 21:47
Ok, I will leave you with this.... “Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.” Albert Camus Of the Concern in Being Good The stage of com...
July 24, 2019 at 21:46
So you want to ply a little, or is this boring for you? Do you want a good question or a twisted idea?
July 24, 2019 at 21:41
Yes I know what you mean, but it´s this kind of questions, posed this way, that drives good "minds" from looking for the answers
July 24, 2019 at 21:35
First of all i don´t mean no disrespect. And also sorry for my English, it is not my native language. What i have to say is: what are these questions ...
