Fear is a sin: http://www.godrules.net/library/aquinas/278aquinas_e1.htm

In general this pandemic has given me a big rush. I'm only feeling empathy in a few situations. A lot of people are acting like idiots

Then he is scared

intelligible. ok

Reason is a faculty, logic is something it does. Reality is separate form our normal cognition. We don't grasp it accurately, without work

This is not a very deadly disease. Restaurants that are closed need to save their food and give to or create food banks. As long as we got food and wa...

Very good Logical skepticism can freeze intuition, at least apparently, and reason then acts strangely

Fascinating!

Because you would be connecting thoughts with intuition. Logic and intuition are the halves of reason. This is all hard to explain. Logic and intuitio...

To put this in perspective, two million people die yearly from flu like-related illnesses worldwide. The Spanish flu had the advantage in 1918 because...

A koan in the East is used to counter the logic of Aristotle. They stand opposed, apparently. Hegel might be a bridge between them. Read his first pub...

They think so much that relativism kicks in but they are unable to handle it. That's why they say crazy things. That quote was from Chesterton but cou...

Reason is a power. Logic is a mold you put it in. Whether we are reason itself, see the thread on Sartre on this forum

What is more fundamental for Sartre and Heidegger , knowing our transcendental consciousness or the transcendental universe!? I've only read the latte...

Sartre said solipsism is refuted every time we feel shame

Logic is the best way for reason to work. It is not the only way. "The insane are not those who have lost their reason, but those who have lost all ex...

The business that will boom in the future is psychology and psychiatry. People will need help to feel normal again once things act more normal again

Aristotle was a good writer

Aristotle is an aesthetic and movement in time short of guy. It was Aquinas that turned him into dogma. Hegel and Heidegger have the former approach. ...

Hi Charles! David had said Descartes was rejected by Sarte because doubt implies temporally and we can't intuit time. So Sartre throws Kant in with De...

And by summer i mean as soon as it gets warm

Stress spreads the virus and the flu. The summer will slow things down, so that's the time to go for walks, build the economy, and work on a vaccine

What an interesting thread. So Sartre wouldn't be Kantian, otherwise he would agree with Descartes. Time holds us, but I don't know if Sartre is sayin...

There will be circuses only some appreciate, New forms of art

The World Health organization said the rate of mortality for older people is less than 4%. Uhhh.. who the hell runs this country!

People went out and got a lot of food, but lots of people are getting stuff at gas stations, lining up and spreading germs. Is this really better?

This virus thing is being pushed by the old people who run this country. They are the only ones who have a real risk of dying from it. The problem for...

How are they even going to get food to everyone without everyone coming in contact with everyone? This whole situation is ridiculous

*over

Apparently the old and weak run this country. That's got to change. I'm not concerned about the lives of those who only have ten years max to live any...

Revolution might break out. I think more people will die from quarantine than from the Budweiser virus or whatever it's called. A bunch of grown ass p...

50% are immortal? I never implied that. Get it together

Pure platonists believe we are decay from Forms, so to speak. Better "material" than you might think

To say before is just to mean there was no previous activity. Where there was no previous activity there was no time. There was nothing.

It will also spread less when the weather warms up. God will that be great! I've been feeling hatred towards clouds for keeping out the sunshine

A quarter of the world is as danger of other diseases. Always have, always will. The problem is food supply and medicine supply. If that is ok, it won...

Half the world is not going to die from the corona virus.

Spiritual is a different ORDER than material. I can't prove its there. The material answers the HOW-it-is-so. Spiritual answers a subtle why, which I ...

Hawking's opinions are all alternative ones. There is no way to prove anything about cosmology scientifically. They say "dark matter causes the expans...

Pure potentiality doesn't act any more than a Form. The world either flows out of the more actual Form or flows up from pure potentially

What is a material law? Let's say that we think light works a certain way. Suddenly a light acts different and we think something is affecting it. Why...

To believe in a God who loves you in the Christian sense is to be a narcissist who wants everyone to be a narcissist. Why would you not want to be inf...

There is no place on earth that should be as safe as in one's mother's womb, growing-into-life. Pregnant women know implicitly that they are already m...

You just don't have a big heart Tim plain and simple. You'll never change my mind about pro choice people being that way. You think abortion is a game...

Can we all agree that its a grave crime to take a fetuses life if its possible to give it a great life?

Ah, I see

Black people don't have Neanderthal genes generally. So white racists can say that is reason they are different and can be enslaved. Identical to the ...

You said you can put to death growing human DNA potentially-a-person. Ive already refuted this copiously. There is no talking to Nazis

How can we examine to see if a being with DNA is human? Uh. Why not ask with the Nazis for criteria proving Jews are human. It's all pretty ovbious. P...

Physicists say time is different for different people. If they mean rate and motion only, then we just have a finite series of motions. Hawking says t...
