Another chance to share my favourite Existentialist Comic: Candyland and the nature of the absurd Satre as moderator. We can't have them denying their...
Obviously. The question is, what is money? And the answer is not that it stands in for commodities in our exchanges. Money functions in virtue of our ...
A mate of mine: Craig Coombes uses Naked Tuesdays to laugh in the face of cancer He's till going, well past his use-by date. He looked into the abyss,...
The approach taken on this thread is a categorical error, one that is ubiquitous in these fora. It's an error that drops out of contrasting real and i...
@"peoplearesmart" joined two weeks ago, apparently for the sole purpose of making the above comment. Presumably they are out there looking after thems...
In other words you are not interested in how "change" is actually used, but instead in arbitrarily restricting that use it to suit certain philosophic...
These examples show that it is a game that we play: @"InPitzotl" provides further examples. The point is, we understand these locutions perfectly well...
I don't see how. If you prefer, the colour of the image changes from left to right. There's nothing odd about such a locution. It would make sense to ...

My floor changes from wood to bamboo, from one room to another, at the one time. This very text you see before you, you can only see in virtue of the ...
The most concerning thing here is Keen's criticism of the DICE model, for "a priori assuming that 87% of the economy will be unaffected by climate cha...
