"Maya (IAST: m?y?), literally "illusion" or "magic", has multiple meanings in Indian philosophies depending on the context. In ancient Vedic literatur...

Kant thought that lying was a big deal for a reason, because it's an assault on all of our intuitions. Just be honest.

Oh, and by the way, another thing "she's hot" can mean is "she's stolen".

You know, people made that shit up too, another example of attempting to capture something alive and moving and putting it in a jar.

Remember that Homer explained that the Muses always tell the truth, because even their lies are true.

I think "wisdom" may be something that old people made up, because they're manifestly worse at everything except for talking. lol

John Stewart Mill. Not only a super awesome guy, but also far far superior economist, philosopher, and utilizer of Hegelian logic than Marx.
October 12, 2016 at 00:10
Which is why Mill is vastly superior, he doesn't sever Hegel's method, and ignore the animal spirits.
