First, typo - I forgot to place a comma after "that". Second, by "that" I'm referring to what you wrote about women "having it both ways ..."; I belie...

"And thus spoke the little old woman: You go to women? Do not forget the whip!" ... for Her to use :sweat: ~Freddy Zarathustra What's wrong with that?...

Fair enough, Frank. Anyway, saying my "syllogism was an abomination" doesn't make it so; more show, less tell works best when defending or criticizing...

So does my impeccable logic. Respect goes both ways. Don't be a spoiled sport, Frankie; it's not like it's the first time I've blown down your silly h...

I asked 7 questions, you can't answer 1. GFY & your dead cat, ernie. :yawn:

:kiss: you too, Frankie.

If you have any integrity, try answering my last post.
June 14, 2020 at 10:04
Well, "the headline" is the wrongness that have police killed another unarmed black man, so that's why the arson was treated as a "sidebar" (you saw t...

Self/meta-questioning (i.e. reflection) is thinking.
June 14, 2020 at 04:49
I'll pick this nit, P, with non-sentient sapients - like (yeah speculative but plausable) strong AI. Sentience seems a pecularly biological-mammalian,...

I use agent where you use "person" and agency where you use "sapience" and judgment instead of "wisdom". Our respective terms are more or less sympati...
June 14, 2020 at 01:24
So what it takes to practice 'the love of wisdom' is ... "wisdom"? :confused:

Predicates define X, X lacks predicates, X is undefined; ~X (i.e. "there is not X"). There are gods, "gods" lacks predicates, "gods" is undefined; ~go...

Ok. :roll:
June 13, 2020 at 18:51
Perhaps, we think the same thing, but slightly differently. For now I'll stand by what I wrote months ago. In other words, (at minimum) one needs the ...

A question (expressed or not).

I wonder: Is DJT "the last president of the Confederacy"?

A question is ignorance made visible.

Today Governor Cuomo signed police reform measures into law. One of the reforms I've flagged as long overdue (at least since 2014) included on my list...

What I've referred to as the (mono)theistic 'command to love' seems akin to masochistic rape-fantasy or self-abnegation: • Islam means surrender or su...

Stubborn denial does not make it so. You're wrong, man. Give it up; you've no idea what you're talking about. Baden's right: get a new cat.
June 12, 2020 at 04:03
Uh huh. Like e.g. that lawless hellhole Camden, NJ?
June 12, 2020 at 00:44
Speaking truth to cower ... A stupid question deserves a stupid answer. And evidence? Well, MAGAt, you certainly qualify (as per your racist apologia ...

'Commanded to love' (re: JCI theism), I'd say yes.

New equipment, new procedures; a trial-run for the fall was needed.

Yes. 3-6 hours long lines in the rain. I don't believe, however, the usual voter suppression tactic of 'reducing the number of polling stations in nei...

I think you are right about a scientistic reading; the TLP's quasi-formalist expression, however, deliberately calls attention to the semantic form of...

Joe Biden.

Now that it's clear Georgia (where I live) is in play, I'll vote for Joe Biden this fall (and both Dems for the US Senate). Swing state "lesser evil" ...

No more bizarre, lil dasein, than you continuing to bother taking issue with me saying "nothing interesting".
