Clearly, this is pointless.
May 13, 2017 at 15:57
So, you are doing this intentionally. You are bitter about a post being deleted by Baden and now you are taking it out on me. Get your thumb out of yo...

No, Augustino was using the stock standard argumentum ad hominem by attacking me with the intention of dissuading the audience of my comments. You fol...

Angst towards you? I posted about making your own hermeneutic interpretations and making an effort to be rational and autonomous and you responded by ...

Where have you disagreed?
May 13, 2017 at 15:31
Hence the 'completely mindless twat' remark made specifically about you. You are a troll and I am done wasting my time with you.

Foucault? Urg, if you don't have anything to say, then stay silent. Faust makes sense all of a sudden. "Methinks, a Million Fools in Choir are Raving ...

Is there any particular way you view the word considering its ambiguity? My understanding of it shifts - as you say, when you think of it in terms of ...
May 13, 2017 at 15:17
And don't intentionally misrepresent what I say, its ugly of you. At least Augustino is trying to defend religious institutions by being selectively o...

Haha, it was half expected that the other side of the extreme would prop up sometime. It is, nevertheless, rather unkind of you considering I am makin...

When people yell or raise their voice, they are either trying to beat the other person by being louder or they are subjectively fighting something unk...

I never said that. Hence the point of why it is impossible talking to you, just as much as it is impossible having a philosophical conversation with a...

It is so important to find fulfilment in your work as you give so much of your time to it and to see many people living aimlessly, merely justified by...

Yes, but it is up to you to figure out the analogy behind it, how it corresponds both historically and culturally, its parabolic symbolism to broader ...

You say: Before: Geez, that's fair. :-| So Christians believe in the smurfs? It was you who said... God is Gargamel and we're the surfs, right? You mu...

I am having a problem with the conditions of the rigidity and local synchronisation, but it is quite late after a really long day, so maybe if you hav...

Is that taking into consideration the paradigm between local and global spatial geometry?

Isn't linear speed synonymous to tangential speed in this case? I'm not convinced that the spatial distance between the clocks located away from the c...

And? Kant did write it, right? And what makes you think this pre-critical phase wasn't the very impetus to his first critique, and if not, did he ever...

This is quite common, which is the reason why fiction or aesthetics in general is so important. Sometimes the presence of anxiety or depression, insom...

Where I am confused is the lack of Kant' transcendental method particularly the presupposition of concepts like causality that, yes, would lead to an ...
