Again, forgive my nit-picking, but when you say "type" of being, do you mean how Man interprets being? I'm taking you to mean this. So yes, seeing the...
Man is time (temporality). Man also exists, of course, and so is a "being" -- but he is the being (entity) for which "being" is even an issue -- he ex...
But just the way you're describing it betrays a kind of Cartesian way of looking at things. Matter is the only thing that can't be created or destroye...
It's very tricky to talk about, and I myself often fail to explain it without falling into contradictions. But let me nit-pick a little here: saying "...
Yes— thanks for citing this passage. Again, I think it’s best not to dwell on care. I see care as a bridge between the analysis of being-in-the-world ...
This isn’t right. You’d have to cite something to back this up, but the very distinction between “self” and “world” is very much antithetical to Heide...
It’s been “tried” for decades in the sense of being viewed as an objective. But like other political fantasies, it’s been nothing but a cover to do no...
I think it’s best to start from what we can understand about Heidegger. Just take the title: Being and Time. That gives us a clue. There’s been a lot ...
Yes, to hell with trying to convince those who believe in Q anon, that Trump will be reinstated and won the election, that climate change is a hoax, e...
He's still as much a "leader" as he ever was, in that they still pay homage to him. But he's been a figurehead all along. So where's the leadership? I...
What does this have to do with anything? What does it even mean? "Bipartisan warfare" is militia who fall on the "non-binary gender spectrum"? What do...
There will be no one like Trump in my view. Remember that he spent 40+ years cultivating a brand, appearing in TV commercials for Burger King, in movi...
Millions of people voted for Hitler, too. Many I'm sure were good, well-intentioned people. So can we really judge them all poorly for helping along a...
It isn’t, but in the context of my example it lead into a broader discussion of completely different realities, and when one should simply give up and...
I don't see the strangeness. Americans are fairly divided (mostly aligned with political affiliation -- no surprise) about climate change. Whatever yo...
Ah, I must have misread it. Apologies. Like anything, it depends. I personally don't think it's healthy to have division about climate change -- that'...
Again worth repeating: Biden administration: climate change is a priority. (Proposals are arguable.) Trump administration: climate change is a Chinese...
:yawn: True, but for multiple reasons it's where we are today. "Nonsense"? When McConnell is saying he will spend 100% of his energy trying to stop th...
Yes. Indeed. I'd argue even prior to 1980. They come together on the 600 billion dollar gift to defense contractors every year, though -- so there's t...
It comes through loud and clear in your framing of the situation. And yes, I'm in favor of peace -- which is why I'm in favor of a two-state solution,...
I don't see how your linked post has much relevance to what I was discussing. If you want to defend Israel's brutal, decades-long occupation and war c...
Yeah, I just disagree with how accurate that analysis is. But most importantly I sense a kind of passivity in the way you describe it -- as if we're w...
Maybe you're right. Another way of saying it perhaps is care -- caring for one another, for people who aren't in our social circle or from our part of...
Actually, most people do go along with that — and growing. Calling it “communism” can mean almost anything, but if that’s supposed to mean anti-neolib...
Education plays a big role, but I think this other aspect does as well. We can educate ourselves and one another, but it takes work, and usually has t...
Not sure about that. Even among the forum, it's not as well known as it should be. It should be as known as Amazon and Tesla, in my view. And almost c...
Eh, I don't even think it would be great -- it'd be a disaster, in fact. At the core of it -- private ownership and profit-making -- are values I don'...
This is fantastic. :lol: I agree wholeheartedly. Of course Friedman was too clever not to see this — so his line would be something like “no subsidies...
Well in the case of BlackRock it's kind of interesting. The CEO is a lifelong Democrat, and so already buys into this stakeholder theory version of ca...
Well that depends on what "true capitalism" is. Many influential people, like Friedman and Ayn Rand and others, would probably define "true capitalism...
Well there's an argument that they're worthwhile in their own right, regardless of use. But I do take more of the position that unless they're applied...
I tend to agree, as much as I want to believe the opposite. Seemingly nothing will happen with the merchant value system unless people intervene -- an...
Very true -- but you'd be surprised by how few know what they are. The point of my asking this, as I mentioned above, is that they're one of the more ...
Let me briefly synopsize what apologists for state terrorism have hitherto asserted: - Israel has a right to defend itself against the people they're ...
There have been many answers. You’re in fact living with a tacit understanding of what a human being is. In the West, since around Aristotle’s time, h...
That has engaged the greatest minds throughout history. I’ll go with them over a random internet person. If this question is stupid, every question is...
The question of what we are, as human beings, is one of the oldest ones and clearly still relevant today. How we answer that question — whether explic...
Come on now. This is just a mistake. Don’t fall into this reasoning. There is no “missing link.” All evidence points to us evolving from primates, and...
The United States often says the exact same thing. Like the Al Shifa bombing. When our team does it, it’s not intentional— because we’re the god guys....
On the contrary. You might not want to face it, but it’s extremely pertinent. Like media and residential buildings. Israel says it, so it must be true...
