180 Proof

:cool: :clap: :clap:

Fellow red pill addict here. Why haven't we ever (as far as we know) crossed paths on one of my long monological walks? PM me, jelly, so we can discus...

I'll hazard to speak for more of us than just my lonesome, uncanni, when I say "Oink oink ..." Keep droppin' them pearls in our pen. :wink:

Amor fati (despite it being our fate not to know our futures until they happen - and maybe not even then, only in hindsight)! :death: :flower: Btw, Fr...

You lost me. :roll:

Pearls before swine. :clap: :cool:

:point: :ok: über alles, lil creampie! :yum: No idea what your whinging about. Especially since I didn't even make an inductive argument. Btw, welcome...

It doesn't have to be "an equal bet". No time-parameter since time constitutes (or structures) the Order at issue (i.e. the universe). Probability ("l...

:fire: Hell no. Optimism is why we're in this "global warming" mess to begin with: not just cynical sociopathic elites but the masses - all have negle...

Yeah. That falls under the rubric of compatibilism. Also, Schopenhauer's On The Fourfold Root of Sufficient Reason might be the very first thoroughly ...

Define "free will". Conceptually, not mechanistically. The latter is to realize the former; but if the former isn't clear or worse, then the latter ca...

If 'embodied cognition' (of which 'volition' is a function) is what you mean, Zelebg, then off the top of my head I recall that following philosophers...

Exactly. And "no reason" to expect order not to arise from chaos either. Thus, order - such as a cosmos - is fundamentally contingent: it possibly com...

Despair. Their rugrats are effigies of hope.

A PULSE. Amor fati, brutha! :cool:

"Right." "Over." "Your." "Head." (Ah, yeah, projection - the last refuge. :lol: )

Likewise. As I get older I more and more prefer silence (of either an anechoic place/headphones or remote wilderness) even to my favorite jazz or blue...

:up: It has to since there's nothing else but Substance to conceive of Substance. Apparently, an ouroboros or Möbius loop confuses some of the slower ...

:ok:

:up:

Not following this ...

Quite evil, isn't it, to rationalize atrocities and needless suffering "in the name of" some other cunt's CAUSE or PLAN? (All is forgiven - "I was jus...

:point: Gospel! :up:

Funny how, without dropping names, the party in question starts telling on him/her self by talking shit ... :snicker: I'm not the "pom-poms" type, son...

:up: :up: *Incorrigible is as incorrigible does.* Even at Walmart checkouts & airport kiosks now cheap glossy copies of Spinoza For Dummies must be on...

Yes - il n'y a pas besoin de cette hypothèse. e.g. Once upon a planck-scale spacetime, a quantum fluctuation had tunneled from (higher? false?) vacuum...

(1) Is harm (e.g. betrayal, rape, deprivation, injury, trauma, incapacitation, bereavement) judged "good or not" for the harmed "a subjective judgment...

:up: A well put meta- (or criterion).

For whom/what? Time-horizon? :brow:

'Pessimism or optimism' for whom? for what? time horizon? :chin:

Ah yeah, watchin' dat ass! :razz:

:up: :cool: Reminds me of the good old PF days - praise be goober!

Don't mind my ramble :smirk: (or gfy) ... For witless or thoughtless "Last Men", vapid days & nights without consolation of the fetish-rattle of a lit...

:clap:

NB: toon "ogre" = forum troll. :smirk: Well, thank you, Harry! All the cool kids think Donkey is dope - without him, Shrek'd still just be another gro...

You've got the gist, so my position is clear enough (especially to anyone who's charitably followed my train of thought posted on this thread).

Those who know, don't say; and those who say, don't know. Cynical (or naïve) hypocrisy. That's like talking about fucking: if you're talking about doi...

:point: :eyes: :meh:

:cool:

:smirk:

Yeah, my metaphor does have its limits, doesn't it? :roll: But also charms if you read me charitably as Swan might.

:up:

I suppose the same could be said (about) Sisyphus and her stone ...

:chin: à la divine right of kings ... Of course not. 'One-party state' politics, such as Stalinism (Maoism Nazism Fascism, etc), are the very manifest...

Just saw this. :clap: :clap:
