Philosophia, perhaps, can be the muse of artists and scientists, historians and, to a lesser degree, politicians; this is how she plays with millennia...
Given the heinous, morally repugnant, savage nature of nazism (fascism in general), there's no defensible "neutral" stance: either one is anti-nazi or...
:clap: :up: Yeah, a(nother) boon for solipsistic banality. As Olivier5 points out: "The Dasein is Hitler-compatible." :shade: :100: Re: der Wille zur ...

You said your goal (or life's goal) is to be "safe" and that you pursue this by "pretending" to care. "Being amoral" does not "dampen emotions", it ju...
What can you "understand" about misery without responding to the misery of others? Certainly not that misery is solicitude, that misery solicits help,...
To whom? In what way? No. You're "good" when you (try to) do good often enough for the conduct to become habitual. Likewise, "pretending not to care" ...
If each moment is a (separate) temporal cross-sectional slice of "the universe" (in effect, like multiple universes of arbitrary, discrete, intervals)...
This is social psychopathy (i.e. remorseless indifference to the pain or misery of others, which you also feel, even when you are the cause) like e.g....
The only way to "live in peace" is to get lobotomized and then maintained with a continuous 24/7 morphine drip. I guess "the evil" in that is it's a s...
You mean we're not all jacked-in to The Matrix already? :scream: (Btw, I've yet to experience VR with the improvisational fidelity and depth of feelin...
Well, I think philosophy's more modest (and, at best, more coherent) than that, just questioning the value of 'questions for which we haven't yet foun...

We've already collapsed, friend; like a beheaded corpse, 'global civilization' is only still twitching ... Read e.g. Jared Diamond, Bill McGribbin, Al...
"Long time" compared to what? Population growth and resource depletion (e.g. drinkable water, arable topsoil, old-growth rainforests, etc) are not lin...
I think, rather, it's the understanding – adaptive (by process of eliminating 'maladaptive') uses – of knowledges (e.g. sciences, history, arts, care ...
The solution to overpopulation is overpopulation: it is a catastropically self-correcting problem in the medium-to-long run (re: anthropocenic environ...
Strawman. I never claimed or implied "that it is impossible for X to exist". I asked how do you "know that it is possible for X to exist" without know...

Dunno. Maybe it's possible to save ourselves from idiots-breeding-idiots just by removing "Warning!" "Hazardous!" & "For External Use Only!" labels an...
Would a motley crowd like this – made up of bloviating bricoleurs manifestly dedicated to (dialectically) thinking against themselves – give a rat's a...
Fair to say you're thoughtfully misanthropic & cynical? :up: As the late John Lewis would say 'Socrates had it coming because he stirred-up some "good...
It depends on whether one is referring to oneself or someone else. To say of oneself that one is a philosopher is just vain & pretentious (NB: on a go...
