:gasp: How edgy. You're truly the Trump of the forum.
October 03, 2020 at 17:47
Yeah, because your solution - doing nothing, while complaining like a teen - is the "real" solution. Stick to Twitter. ;)
October 03, 2020 at 17:43
Indeed.
October 03, 2020 at 17:36
Adults are talking. Quiet.
October 03, 2020 at 17:35
We should all do what you do: write like an angsty teenager on a philosophy forum. I.e., nothing. Dime a dozen. :yawn:
October 03, 2020 at 17:12
No, I don't care if Trump suffers. I prefer it if others didn't suffer.
October 03, 2020 at 17:09
:yawn:
October 03, 2020 at 17:06
I'm not suggesting killing anyone.
October 03, 2020 at 17:04
You've demonstrated, over and over again, that you really don't have a clue about what you're talking about. Use your super-edgy, adolescent cynicism ...

Yes, it is giving up. No matter how much I dislike Biden, if we don't continue to push for legislation, we're guaranteeing nothing happens. This is tr...

No, he doesn't. The ordinary conception of time and Aristotle's interpretation of time are two different things. It is not "derived" from Aristotle. A...

I have to say, I'm more in favor of him dying. I don't care whether he suffers. Sounds terrible, yes, but from my point of view it would (possibly) be...
October 03, 2020 at 16:39
Compete nonsense. You haven't been paying attention. And it's exactly this kind of attitude which will accelerate the problem. True, maybe some kind o...
October 03, 2020 at 16:29
Yes indeed. Well said.
October 03, 2020 at 16:25
I don't think it's probable that anything necessary (revolutionary) gets passed, but we have to try to push them to. If we give up, it guarantees noth...

In countless ways, but climate change being the major one.
October 03, 2020 at 02:12
True, but it's ambitious enough and influenced by the GND.
October 03, 2020 at 02:12
Probably. But even passing Green New Deal legislation is something. Whether they abolish the filibuster, pack the court, etc., who knows -- but I hope...

Ginsberg dies, tax returns are finally found, debate is a debacle, and now Trump gets Covid -- all while a pandemic rages, wildfires consume Californi...

Yes, I do wish to remain ignorant of your obnoxious, random rantings about something you don't understand. Now please get off my thread.
October 02, 2020 at 17:13
Yes, you are ignorant. Now please go away.
October 02, 2020 at 17:10
What's left out is a more phenomenological way of treating time. It's not a play on words. It's Heidegger's words. It prevents metaphysics from asking...
October 02, 2020 at 17:09
I don't understand why you keep posting random, disconnected, Twitter-like assertions. I don't mean to be rude, but so far you have not demonstrated t...
October 02, 2020 at 17:04
You're not talking about Heidegger. What Heidegger says, repeatedly and explicitly, is that the concepts handed down to us -- many of which have been ...
October 02, 2020 at 01:35
"Rightly seen and rightly explained" refers to the phenomenon of time. There's no "blaming" there and no indication of being "wrong." This is why Heid...
September 30, 2020 at 23:55
What utter buffoonery. I know we're not supposed to "shame" anyone, but at this point hearing something like this is laughable (if it wasn't so tragic...
September 30, 2020 at 22:37
No, he doesn't. They're related, but there's no causal relation. Again, I really have no idea what this means.
September 30, 2020 at 00:11
He's not blaming Aristotle. It's not that Aristotle has it "wrong" and he has it "right." He's not saying that. What he says several times is that by ...
September 29, 2020 at 17:54
I think he gets his interpretation of time (in his formulation, "temporality") from looking at what we do in our "average everdayness," which he talks...
September 28, 2020 at 14:45
Heidegger has ever -- not once -- claimed the opposite. Neither have I. "Pure description" is your own invention. Just give up at this point and be ha...
September 28, 2020 at 14:34
The educational system has already been infiltrated. They've mostly been centers of indoctrination, selecting for obedience and conformity, with a few...

Perception is not theory. The rest of what you said is true enough, but no one is denying that. You're having trouble reading me I guess, so I'll just...
September 25, 2020 at 15:38
It's a truism once pointed out. Yet it's been continually overlooked in the history of philosophy, including today. No one is making any claims like t...
September 23, 2020 at 17:53
Perception is not theory. No. When you remember your mother's death, you're remembering it right now. It's a kind of cognition. That doesn't mean it's...
September 23, 2020 at 17:44
Yes, in talk and thought. No one is arguing otherwise. In describing something, there is thinking and concepts involved. To argue this is "theory" is ...
September 20, 2020 at 00:19
Yeah, any person who says something as simplistic as this either hasn't truly engaged with the person they're condemning, or doesn't have the emotiona...
September 18, 2020 at 22:10
It's helpful to quote the text to support your interpretations. Honestly I don't see anything in Being and Time that implies any of this.
September 18, 2020 at 00:57
Since there's no "forward," I don't think he'd argue in favor of "backwards" either. This is still a linear sequence view of time -- the time that's m...
September 17, 2020 at 01:51
What you claim is "perception," isn't. Declaring it such proves nothing. One could argue, just as sincerely, that the mind/body dichotomy is also "per...
September 15, 2020 at 18:35
You've still not shown you really understand much, unfortunately. Not meant as a cheap shot, just my opinion. I don't think you're in any position to ...
September 15, 2020 at 18:29
I really don't like the term either, so I'm glad you called me out on it. In fact I think it's fairly useless -- what exactly am I NOT believing in? B...
September 15, 2020 at 18:17
I've been pretty disappointed with this forum, overall. Someone reminded me that it is an "amateur" forum and that I shouldn't expect real expertise -...
September 14, 2020 at 20:38
Eh, another kid who's on an atheism crusade. I was there once. Dawkins, Dennett, Sam Harris, Htichens, etc. Everything becomes about battling the the ...
September 14, 2020 at 20:33
I can't say for a certainty that WWII in particular changed his thinking, but neither can anyone else. As far as his writing goes, there's debate abou...
September 14, 2020 at 19:03
Which "time"? The time of ordinary meaning and physics is linear, sure. Experiential time -- temporality -- is not linear.
September 14, 2020 at 18:53
I've done so. Yet: What is time lived subjectively? Because that's essentially all Heidegger means by temporality -- existential time as opposed to cl...

You don't know what you're talking about. First of all, the assumption that reality is "material" has a long history -- and no one yet, certainly not ...
September 14, 2020 at 18:27
Yeah I'm not sure what you're driving at anymore.

It depends on what we're calling "religion," of course. More or less a matter of definition, but the typically acknowledged religions -- Christianity,...
September 13, 2020 at 01:18
You've already read, in my view, very essential ones. I'd add "Basic Problems of Phenomenology" to the list. The History of the Concept of Time isn't ...
