I never even heard of that word before.

This is very typical of philosophers. Use an ordinary word, and then proceed to strip it of all its connotations. :vomit: Don't mind me, I just don't ...

You can't divorce the word 'politic' from its original Greek meaning because politics is a Greek word. You're setting yourself up to confuse everyone....

Exactly! Problem is, no all humanity has adopted Greek culture! Is your mind blow? Yes. I would say 'trade' is a way more appropriate term for a pilla...

'Politics' originates from ancient Greece if I am not mistaken. You are thinking of tribal conflict. Economics is a social science; modern terminology...

Nothing you say is going to convince them otherwise, that's why they are called idealogues. Call them out for what they are, and do everything you can...

You would have to show that she isn't merely a fringe group. Or else it's just your opinion.
July 02, 2020 at 05:41
I don't care. One life lesson I learned is that paying less attention to ideologues is good for your mental health.

I'm sensing that you don't think much of Harvard. I invite you to start a topic on your opinion of that university.
July 02, 2020 at 05:28
I am going to stab you.
July 02, 2020 at 05:23
I don't agree with that opinion, but I respect your right to express that opinion here. :smile:

I really don't care about that lady. I'm not a psychologist but it's a fact that people with high intelligence are capable of saying and doing very ir...

I'm wondering if this is the best place to merely express your opinion. Here's the crucial question: do you want others to comment on what you've said...

July 02, 2020 at 04:52
So what if it went viral? This isn’t evidence about the true motives of this lady. My point is that your taking sensationalized TikTok videos way too ...

Did the lamestreem (mainstream) media even bother to report it. I'm just curious. :lol:
July 02, 2020 at 03:51
Are you really going to draw conclusions from a tabloid?? She was obviously joking.

From what I understand postmodernism is a cultural phenomenon. Yet there are some people (I am not going to name names) who claim that postmodernist p...

I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm just attempting to understand postmodernism, that's all. Thanks for that correction.
July 01, 2020 at 13:39
Not me. Lyotard’s philosophy exhibits many of the major themes common to post-structuralist and postmodernist thought. https://www.iep.utm.edu/lyotard...

Most of the time it is harmless.

It all depends on your tolerance for anxiety. Anyone with an anxiety disorder will do well to stay away from those philosophers.

Your choice between postmodernism and not, is very much like a choice between Zizek and Chomsky. It's really a matter of aesthetics, imo.

You might be confusing postmodernism with Post Structralism. I bet that's where all this confusion originates. :rofl:

Postmodernism is modernism on LSD.
July 01, 2020 at 09:32
I personally prefer modernism. https://youtu.be/vDCEtnXlA4Y

From an artistic perspective postmodernism doesn't seem that bad. https://youtu.be/lKomOqYU4Mw
