All obscure, arcane, and complex is it? That's usually the claim. If it's any good, it's straightforward. If it's ineffably enchantingly dumbfoundinge...
I knew it was irony, as Wayfarer just isn't the kind of guy to quote Crowley with veneration. He stole the quote from Augustine, and omitted the thing...
I really like this angle, which I haven't pursued in depth, and need to. I think that this is a fruitful angle, that I'm going to explore more. Thanks...
If you want to talk about normalizing, and recruitment then lesbians are demolishing gay men. The numbers for men that have reported homosexual experi...
I'm highly sympathetic to this view, I think that most enticingly, it creates the largest window for novelty and innovation. The draw back is that wit...
I doubt that anyone suggests that homosexuals are incapable of celibacy, it's rather that just like a heterosexual person, they don't consciously deci...
You could prevent the bomb from exploding with zeno's paradox, convincing it that it has to actually count an infinite string of numbers before it can...
I'd be all like "saw that you were alone besides 'false data' apparently... look only the precise content can be doubted, but whether things look, sou...
Speaking of thirdness, that's Kant's right there. The transcendental illusions, the three transcendental objects that we can't help but posit, but can...
To further expand, what's implied in the way you're talking is that Ariel is really thoughts in people's head, pictures, pixels on screens, words on p...
She only can't speak because of a magic spell, not because she's fictional. That's like saying that a hypothetical 100 pound weight is actually weight...
Now that said... weirdo reclusive defiant hoarder with only animal friends with no consideration at all whatsoever for others. Isn't tricked or anythi...
To insert some Hegel here, we can say that an essence is both limited, and finite. It is limited in the sense of physical constrains, but also finite ...
Not to labor it, but I can't help myself... the age of anger has me! I suppose that I was primed because of a cracked article I read (I swear those gu...
I am 42 minutes in, he's starting to talk about graphic violence... I can't even go on facebook anymore without having dead babies shoved in my face, ...
We love thinking everyone that disagrees with us is an idiot, evil piece of shit. Not many people can take someone not agreeing with them for more tha...
Peirce strikes me as less than interesting. Most significantly, he doesn't actually explain in any way how objects constrain their signs. I also don't...
I was just playing around. I don't know if we would have a name for it at all. I imagine that nothing actually would be visible without contrast, qual...
Opposites are different than negatives though. Like the opposite of up is down, but the negation of "up" is just "not up" but could be any arbitrary d...
Well, right, left, up down are all positive things. "not-me", "not-us" and "not-shit" are not, and could really conceivably be anything at all except ...
I've still going to have to think about what you've said more, do a little reading on the subject before I get back to you. Probably tomorrow, I've be...
It's moronic because it insinuates that I'm some naive idiot, particularly when I'm being sarcastic. Besides that, "winning someone over" is just anot...
Oh, I don't know what's what. I'm just saying ideas and positions I like more, or find more satisfying. Definitely not claiming to know what I'm talki...
Yeah, it's all part of its meaning. They definitely form each other's meaning relationally, but the relation itself is abstract, and applicable to man...
Hemispheres are not really distinquishable besides through their specific features, and orientations. I mean, the polarity could shift, and the south ...
Thing is though, that a comparison for difference and similarity has to be crisp in my view. Can't be simply a heuristic, as if the thing in question ...
Just sounds like perspectivism. Universals would have to be immanent, maybe something like exemplars, and similarity reduced to a historical track of ...
They do indeed, but I think that a proper explanation outlines how they interact and form one and others, like the length and width of a rectangle for...
All of these choices of words are psychological terms. A "difference that makes a difference" suggests a difference that matters, a significant differ...
What does "a difference which makes a difference" mean other than "a difference that matters"? Which is, again, a disposition. I don't see much import...
Significance is also a psychological disposition. At best these must be metapors or analogies for some third thing which must be of the same kind of t...
"Indifference" seems too anthropomorphic to me, too steeped in intentional emotional states. I do think that intention or emotion is ubiquitous with l...
Though SLX doesn't seem to be suggesting that things begin with difference, but indifference, which is a disposition... a neutral disposition. I'll ha...
I repeatly suggested the need for a standard ("with respect to" doesn't sound too different from that), and of course everything can't be reduced to a...
Normativity, though you may think solves the problem because it is "performed" or something doesn't. Because in order to judge something normative, th...
