It's pretty much the same as this forum, just with a different interface.

That's ok. I agree with Jamal. The referenced post reads like a personal reflection on a poem. Which is a bit like a book review. A couple of sentence...

A sucksink reminds me of Guts by Chuck Palahniuk.

I figured. It reminded me of Infinite Jest. Maybe that's what David Foster Wallace sounded like saying old man stories.

I wasn't sure entirely what you were writing (but having thought for several minutes about the contrast between your jocular tone and (albeit, with a ...

Unexpectedly pessimistic. But I agree. Praise be the parenthetical oblivion.

The most enjoyable bit of that post is the giant parenthetical I didn't read.

Astute. Very ironic given that much of the book is about self mastery.

Well what can you do about that.

Galway Girl. I was hoping it was seared into your prefrontal cortex.

Hmm... De de duu duu duu de de duu du du dee du du di di di dae!

The amount of adultery the author committed in their life is not surprising given they give a qualified defence of shagging your own psychotherapy pat...

No worries.

If you read the original thread, you'll see two things happened. 1) Great Replacement Theory was used as part of a factual claim. It was in the headli...

:up:

'mon. Dinnae insult. Edit: (to be clear, this isn't anything modworthy or formal, I'm just prodding at you for insulting someone in a feedback thread,...

Let's just hope it's a media literacy slip up eh?

To be clear, we probably wouldn't mod for poor citation practices so long as the posts are made in good faith, @"Lionino" is getting warned here for u...

No worries. It's misleading, and on @"Lionino"'s head.

That article is unobjectionable. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/918129 The posted image is not from that article. It's from Remix n...

Lionino, your posts often end up in the mod queue due to their content. We have pretty lenient standards on being acerbic, especially in political dis...

The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck This has not aged well. Absolutely horrible at times.

I pinned this for a bit. Unpin it when you like.

They're discussed in terms of speech acts and gesturing towards new ways of seeing though, right? There's little psychology in it. Or to put it better...

It's mostly "what a word means depends upon the context" innit. Language game, form of life, background, communities of language use... All contexts. ...

Broad agreement. Wittgenstein, much like Heidegger, ends up not being particularly radical or different from commonplace positions when you force your...

Is this intended to be more of a textual analysis thread or a give your own perspective thread @"Count Timothy von Icarus"?

I'm still antsy about assigning a random variable to the truth of a theorem. How do you sample from mathematical theorems? What would it even mean for...

Put this in the Trump thread if you want to discuss it. I'm going to close the thread.

Yeah no I ain't assigning random variables to generic mathematical expressions.

P(X=1|X+1=2). Where X is a random variable. That'll give you probability 1.

A=>B & A => !B A true and B true means... The thing's false A true and B false means... The thing's false A false and B true means... The thing's true...

Just an aside. You probably know this stuff. But others might not. This is not a rigorous presentation. When you talk about the probability of somethi...

Definitionally so. What can be concluded from Emerson and Thelema is that there's no distinction between a right life and one lived without worry. Thu...

I elaborated, thank you for your comment.

Someone could construct a logically valid to conclude that they should off themselves. But the premises might not be believed. 1 ) I should kill mysel...

Yes. Dinosaurs had feet. They're in the fossils. You can see the bones. You can see footprints. Yes. Almost the same. But not quite. Sum of masses bla...

I doubt it. I'm sure the argument is sufficiently arcane that no one cares about it. Also the move to make something which is seen as transcendental a...

Two senses of priority - you might think of them as temporal and transcendental. The one you're talking about is transcendental. Norms condition perce...

"to us" is a placeholder for "as conditioned by the categories of understanding" or "as encountered as as an object in the world with an understanding...

The Badiou stuff appears past the arche fossil argument. That's in the first bit. It's Locke, Descartes and the post Kantians. His vocabulary kinda of...

I generally skip the details of the arche fossil because it's technical. But its fundamental target is what you've said. You'd get something out of re...

I meant in the sense that for humans, there existed objects - stuff, placeholders, particulars, whatevs you wanna call it - prior to our purposes and ...

Dinosaurs.

The word inherent doesn't appear in the OP. The terms that predicate beauty of people in it are "associate" and "impression". Those are circumstantial...

I certainly seem to treat them as such. Why'd you introduce the word inherent?

My intellect tries not to but my body has disagreeable thoughts of its own. I'm not sure my intellect matters much. Only the behaviour. And I certainl...

Is there an equivalent to going afk from existence? Can I do that for a few years?
