Indeed, monsieur René for the enigma that is me hath been working hard, but I will try and find the time to bringeth joy to this desolation! In the me...

It puts one into a position of consciousness, a unity of apperception or consciousness-self consciousness and that objectively you are separate; trans...

(Y) Exactly. So, when a person conforms or follows and has yet to transcend to become an autonomous agent, he is incapable of 'true love' because he s...

Native Title in Australia overturned the legal doctrine of Terra Nullius with the Mabo v Queen case that changed our understanding of traditional land...

Transcendental idealism is not a new form of philosophy.

Do I actually have to ask why, because I am sure your response is going to be as agitating as your use of emoticons.

This is the worst advice I have ever seen.

This unity is symbolic. I have never fallen in love and I am still searching. I believe in this rational, authentic love that I write above so much so...
February 10, 2018 at 22:22
Love can only be possible under autonomous conditions and so many people believe love is somehow unconditional. If that were so, why - realistically -...

It's really good. It's about a philosophy professor who has existential numbness until he decides to murder a bad judge that influences a positive out...
February 10, 2018 at 10:15
I have, it's pretty funny but sort of starts to get messy at the end of season one and pretty much all of season two. It was enjoyable nonetheless and...

Love is not something independent of us and while indeed our will or motivation enables concepts to be authentic or genuine, it returns back to our or...
February 08, 2018 at 12:22
Love is a part of our rational faculty and there are conditions that are necessary before it can transcend to a level of authenticity to be rendered a...

Threats needn't actually just be verbal/written, they could also be reckless behaviour that potentially threatens the life of another. There is no exc...

Are you talking about the gravitational field? It really doesn't deserve "quotation marks" as there is no real mystery behind it.
February 06, 2018 at 10:04
Are you serious? I mean, even hard-core republicans think he is a douche, they just awkwardly support him because they have to. Follow better people, ...
February 06, 2018 at 09:48
You have this thing about you where you make me form this weird kind of quizzical look, where with one eye smaller than the other I find myself starin...
February 06, 2018 at 09:38
That's just, I don't know, what?
February 06, 2018 at 09:31
I was thinking that since the fixed lens is not interchangeable, I could treat it like I would a camcorder, particularly because of its 4k capacity an...

Any camera lovers? I am out to purchase a new DLSR (on an extreme budget) and am tossing between the Canon EOS Rebel T6i, the Lumix GH3 or the Panason...

Were you having some exciting dreams in the morning? I understand this but I no longer experience this because I know exactly what I want and where I ...
February 06, 2018 at 08:03
You poor thang. If it makes you feel any better, I went on a hike today and got sunburnt. A weird little patch where I missed sunscreen. I forgot my h...
February 04, 2018 at 09:23
Praise science! I just love this subject... Love is the foundation, in my opinion, the very core of who we are and this is clear in children who have ...
February 04, 2018 at 07:59
No, I completely agree but what I am attempting to convey is that the process itself, of being able to articulate and examine their past and memories,...
February 04, 2018 at 07:24
It entirely depends on the mind or the individual, but I believe it can although not in the way that it seems. Philosophy enables one to begin thinkin...
February 04, 2018 at 07:06
What do you mean 'when you're in trouble?' Like, you're having a bad day and your tired and need a boost of morale? I hardly call that an identificati...
February 03, 2018 at 22:29
No, its boring when one is forced to sift through deluded whinges of a so-and-so thinker who projects his inadequacies by purporting others to be mani...
February 03, 2018 at 22:08
No no, you just literally bore me.
February 03, 2018 at 21:30
In a practical way? So, are you saying that Aurelius' ethics is better than Aristotle's? :( For me, it is probably a place between the two, but to pla...
February 03, 2018 at 21:29
You bore me.
February 03, 2018 at 21:06
Indeed, no clear avenue, but there is a way to reach that 'core' problem or to find out the root cause of those subconscious fears because they mostly...
February 03, 2018 at 12:34
Holy shitake!
February 03, 2018 at 11:42
Alright, i'm sold. I'll try and find it.

Success in becoming a stoic sage; Aristotle understands that there are a number of external factors that play a role in forming that virtuous characte...
February 03, 2018 at 11:35
Yeah, probably because you have a better chance at success within all its ambiguity; whatever happened to your Aristotlean affections? Well. No, but n...

I love cinema but in particular historical epics and the classics. Lawrence of Arabia is my all-time favourite, but give me some Yul Brynner and his f...
February 03, 2018 at 10:53
I like you, which is saying something surely. Besides, I just spent the last three hours watching the best bollywood movie at the cinemas, filtered le...
February 03, 2018 at 10:30
A sense of humour should be a part of your mantra, but you unfortunately don't have one evidenced by getting all snappy. It just so happens that passi...

What has he got to do with it?
February 03, 2018 at 05:17
Like maybe not being snappy and vicious?

One of those :-| moments right there.

As I mentioned to you in our correspondence, there is a parallel here between this inability to cope with life and a lack of recognition from others. ...

Or a cravat. A man who knows his flowers is a man worthy of tie-advice.

I knew this guy who followed his girlfriend and copied her - she would do something, he would do something - but then it was almost like he realised h...
February 02, 2018 at 13:17
You have done well.
February 02, 2018 at 10:52
I guess it makes sense, considering the purpose of why you came up with inarticustupilackafecacleansia was to, wait, what was it again?
February 02, 2018 at 07:33
