I remember the Hulk Hogan picture, but the name is escaping me. Please do :up:

The democracies of Eastern European countries tend to be weaker, more susceptible to corruption than Western countries, so I'm not surprised by your s...

I very much miss @180proof too, along with the other members who are MIA. Busycuttingcrap too. Even Mariner, who I almost always disagreed with, at le...

No, not because it's the status quo. Citizens in liberal democracies experience better well-being, stronger and more defend-able human-rights, more ac...

Trump's been enamored by political despots including Putin, Edrogan, Duterte, and most recently Xi Jingping, who's dissolution of the CCP's two term l...

Have you been to Mr. Bartley's yet?

Agustino is simply an idiot who doesn't merely think he's smart, but knows he's smarter than everyone else in the room. And if you're the smartest in ...

I didn't say the FB page was trash, just Facebook itself.

Facebook is trash

There's a great craft brewery right by Gowanus Canal too.

Lot of great wine bars too. I'm a big fan of Ten Bells.

I love NYC, I don't think I'll ever move away. There's plenty to do, great and ethnically diverse food, a awesome craft beer scene, plenty of museums,...

I think you're confusing NYC with Beijing

Can't deny that :up:

We're at 46 degrees in NYC :down:

Can't wait for it to be warm enough so that I can just wear a t-shirt and jeans outside.

I keep trying to read Ethics, Sophistry, and the Alternate Universe on my holidays, but something always gets in the way.

Is this thread about Donald Trump or Marx now?

No, they mean a culmination of "prominent intellectuals" who, recently, "argue that...the vision of the Enlightenment needs a vigorous defense from" v...

Well written, but poorly argued defense of Steven Pinker's Enlightenment Now. Thoughts on this piece?

A paradox for some: I'm Jewish, which according to some (racists), means my IQ must dwell within to the Empyrean. However, I don't think IQ is an expr...

With the rise of the internet-savy alt-right, Godwin's Law has a new challenger: one that uses Marx as a succedaneum for Hitler.

Good article. Peterson's form of responsibility is individualistic. His is an introspective, self-improvement tool for guidance within a immutably unj...

Maybe. But half of my friends majored in computer science, and learned coding for 4 years. They didn't start making that amount of money until at leas...

Either your good friend is lying to you, or your friend's daughter is lying to him. No one with 6 months coding experience is making anywhere near tha...

These comments are killing my brain cells.

I never said personhood "begins at birth". I said personhood, at minimum, requires certain pre-natal developments, which occur after 20 weeks includin...

As I very clearly stated in my original post, you are presenting a false analogy by comparing post-natal life (i.e. children) with inchoate, pre-natal...

From the recent issue of Advances In Political Psychology, a study on "How Our Social Group Attachments Strengthen Partisanship" :monkey:

Would be great if you could respond to my reply on page 11. :up:

I still would like (+) votes for posts.

Thanks

What the literal fuck am I reading? Don't we have standards in this forum? Because I'm confident @Dachshund isn't meeting them.

Lol is this a philosophy forum or Donald Trump's twitter feed?

I did "bother" to read your post above, and I asked for hard evidence, not anecdotal insight from individuals you consider to be above questioning. As...

You say there is a troubling, pervasive "pro-communist" sentiment on American campuses. Do you have any research, statistics, any substantive evidence...

1. "The Left" does not prefer authoritarian communist societies over capitalist ones. No one is honestly asking themselves, "would I rather live in So...

Uh oh, did someone say, C U L T U R A L M A R X I S M

Evidence and Inquiry by Susan Haack History and Utopia by Cioran (rereading)

Most of your arrangements stem from a false, non-commensurable analogy, i.e. comparing post-natal children with post-natal newborns, and extending tha...

Ted Cruz, "I think the Democrats are the party of Lisa Simpson and the Republicans are the party of Homer and Bart and Maggie and Marge."

I'm just highlighting it.

Other similarly developed democratic nations don't suffer similar "absurd situations" re: gun violence.

I don't believe in heaven, or whatever, but cartoons like these kill me.

It's not just you, it's objectively stupid. Nothing more than NRA propaganda to 1) get more people to purchase guns, and 2) defend 2A. There are endle...

Arming teachers is the most moronic idea I have heard of. It's been a decade since high school for me, but I would not want my frail, 70+ mathematics ...

Unsure where you stand politically, but wanted to co-opt this statement to illuminate the hypocrisy of some Conservatives, who, on one hand want to in...

Semi-automatic means a single bullet is fired per trigger pull. A fully automatic gun, however, continues to fire as long as the trigger is held down.

Because you're reducing it to a personalized experience, when an anti-natalist would claim that all human life consists primarily of (various form of)...

Anti-natalism is the believe that human life consists primarily of suffering (or, is primarily negative, rather than positive). It is not a subjective...
