You seem to be starting from Descartes, and so the obsession with "knowing" and the idea of an outside world. But you have to exist (and in a particul...
No sense trying to figure anything out unless you first reject democracy and the idea of social concern — while accepting as legitimate the institutio...
In the real world, if there are extenuating circumstances people are allowed to continue working. There's also a vote for whether to strike, it's not ...
Yeah, as I expected. I said at the beginning there were no wrong answers, so there was no follow up from me— despite the fact that disagreement and de...
Trump is and has been a squeaky clean individual. No wrongdoing. And if there is wrongdoing, it’s never been verified by evidence. If there is evidenc...
https://youtu.be/6yD3-aNXZ0s?si=T6zNbqfYg6kkbQeS Jesus… Why are they allowing this man to continue? It’s not like they’ll lose the seat. How bizarre. ...
No, but the aim (provide no answers but assist others in discovering their own) seemed similar. Both. :lol: I suppose so. But more like getting to kno...
My fault. It’s my psychology background— Carl Rogers was a therapist, and the technique I was referring to was one in which the therapist provides no ...
I think it does. Still digesting some of those… Neither. In any case, I think my title has led some to believe I’m really asking that this list be def...
Ideas have meaning. The dialogues pretty quickly transition into what is meant. Sure— but I was responding to your question of “why do you want to kno...
All kind of sounds like a cop out to me. “What’s the aorta Dad?” “Let me use the word so you can see how it’s used.” Explaining what we mean, or think...
Of course. The title is tongue-in-cheek. Your answers didn’t seem nonsensical to me. Sure. So what? Yes, and usually triggered by the meaning of x. Wh...
I like this. A good synonym. It assumes a kind of interpreting. :up: Interesting. I realize you and me and “Being” have a long history haha— so I won’...
It’s hard not to be tribal, I think. Especially when tribalism has been encouraged for 40 years. In the specific case of US politics, the best approac...
Because your questions are inane and condescending. You ask insulting questions like that, expect responses of like kind. Also, what’s truly “appallin...
Spellcheck fails him again. Kind of like “looser” when they mean “loser.” Since it’s an actual word, it doesn’t correct it, but who would think “rumor...
Yeah but a lot of Schopenhauer is just bullshit. In any case, we’re talking about making production better by not having it controlled by a handful of...
Exactly. Which anyone that isn’t in the cult can see— and could see even before it happened. There were warning signs that it could turn violent, base...
I mostly agree with this. I’d add an obvious point: production can be done smarter. It doesn’t have to be in the hands of a small group of people moti...
I don’t think they realize the importance of voting. Some rather take stronger actions, for some it’s too difficult, etc. For some it’s apathy, yes, b...
I don’t think that’s what it means at all. Buddy, does everything have to come back to this one issue? Makes you sound a bit like a one-trick pony. I ...
People do things they don’t want to do all the time. It’s up to us to make it easier or harder. Bad habits, addictions, etc— I doubt many people want ...
Right, because there's no reason to be "mean" or "overthink" or be "so serious" about ...anything. Let's just take it easy and turn every thread into ...
Polls have shown people do care, and think governments should be doing more. There's large turnouts at protests, there's increasingly bold direct acti...
Yes, you’ve introduced all kinds of issues— one silly thing after another, all shown to be ridiculous. But by all means continue— it’s good for others...
Three in five Americans say Trump should stand trial before the Republican primaries or 2024 general election Roughly 60% of the country thinks this g...
How odd that it’s this one issue — cows — that you want to dwell on, and yet repeatedly get wrong. No one is suggesting we “kill all cows.” Your parti...
Right. It is. From your own quote: This corresponds with what @"unenlightened" was saying. At least how I read it. So your talk about how climate scie...
I’m saying you don’t have a clue about what you’re talking about. There’s nothing to “re-think.” https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/...
No they haven’t. If we stopped. Not if we keep emissions constant. And within a decade or so the RISE in temperature should flatten. Temperatures woul...
14% contribution to emissions, not to mention 80% of deforestation of the Amazon (and much of the rest to grow feed) for cattle. But there’s no reason...
