Hostility? My friend and dear sir, who I would love to perhaps one day meet and talk life over tea and scones, may I be so bold as to remind the good ...

Sure, maybe the current government or social zeitgeist is completely overlooking the true concept behind what environmentalism purports to look out fo...

Your changing the topic that I was referring to. My topic, based on your sentence of: In reality, caring for one's farmland and the land around them h...

I'm informing you (to no avail, no doubt, so mostly other interlocutors) the sentence of yours I quoted is inaccurate and nothing more.
May 31, 2025 at 03:57
Uh, no. It has a basis in realizing that the physical world is finite and if you rob it beyond it's ability to regenerate itself you'll stave not only...

I'd pay to see someone of your intellect that far gone, quite honestly. :lol: No, no, I take that back. All shame is shameful. Good for you for avoidi...

Well since no one has welcomed @"panwei" to the forum yet. As if it weren't obvious why. :smirk: I shall do so. No, no, not in the form of vaingloriou...

I knew I recognized you from somewhere. :cry: https://philosophersguild.com/ Neat site. :grin: Seeing as you're an American, might I recommend the "Fr...

There is no "Chinese alphabet", so words, specifically ones that do not exist in Chinese culture, such as American cities, say "Hanover" for example, ...

These majority of those listed seem largely circumstantial for reasons I'll soon explain. Basically, it's a list of common stereotypes. Listed as foll...

Hope your job pays well. From the sound of that description, that's going to come in handy down the road, medical-wise. I somehow doubt someone in you...

I got a real special original for you kind folk here and this one my friends is something spectacular. I call this next piece: "Unshelled." https://i....

To what though? :eyes:

Or. they might actually think that. Still, I can think I'm a disabled person but if my legs work absolutely fine and I cut off an actual paraplegic an...

5,000 years of recorded human history where wars are waged and the stronger or larger force takes and destroys from the weaker or smaller force is an ...

Of course not! Because they've all been burned and their purveyors executed, by sheer public outcry and will of the people, mind you. I'm not saying t...
May 28, 2025 at 16:39
They don't. They want to undo thousands of years of human social progress simply because their lives didn't turn out as they desired them to be, in sp...

I'm in my 30s so, it's kind of a "younger guy" thing. But yeah, I dunno. I thought it was neat for people who can't travel either by financial or mobi...
May 28, 2025 at 02:19
I think eventually it becomes a basic rudimentary argument absent of any other potentially bias-inducing circumstance. I.E. Yes, I'm a human being, so...

No tales, triumphs, and trials from Castle Hanover on this most American of holidays? God the people in your line of work are as boring as they say. F...

For some reason when I was reading this (if it were anyone else: unhinged and neurotic) story I pictured literal bowls. Brown wooden ones to be exact....

If? Memory is real, hence your reference to it and the fact this entire thread is devoted to it, so, that's already been laid out. That is, essentiall...
May 26, 2025 at 16:47
Unfortunately, I doubt there's a whole heck of a lot of philosophy involved in such; more of series of neural synapses making connections that invoke ...
May 26, 2025 at 15:04
And really now, who came up with the idea to call food "gastronomy?" Makes it sound gross. Major lack of intuition and foresight on that one. But I su...

I knew I recognized that from somewhere. Hey. How about this one. An old place from time immemorial. Surely, a man of your, clearly proven to me, fort...

Grass is always greener. Easy to dismiss dangers and risks one is ignorant of. :confused:
May 22, 2025 at 07:01
I suppose the rational counterargument would be: ridiculously rare genetic abnormalities aside, how does that change a thing? I'm sympathetic to any p...

Haven't seen any here yet. :smirk:
May 20, 2025 at 15:07
Welcome to the forum. This is something I would like to question you about. What, or rather who, dictates that how one expresses themself or presents ...
May 20, 2025 at 15:02
Well, depending on what school of thought you choose to subscribe to (which is a civil right in and of itself, right to choose how one governs one's l...

While I can't and won't answer for the particular gentleman, I feel it a point of basic decency to remind you of, and of course introduce into the dis...

Thank you for your concern. The pizza was last night (only half), I simply posted it today. I was raised until adulthood in a house where even a simpl...

Meanwhile. Homemade chili dogs. By homemade I mean microwaved frankfurters (though I doubt they "meat" the specification. :smile: ) and canned chili o...

Surely not everything? The void of space (not it's observation, the thing itself), oxygen and other non-visible gasses, sound waves, magnetic waves, g...

How would one know what was played (or not played) and how, prior to the invention of recorded audio? At the very least the modern (surviving, therefo...

A few days ago I was placing a fast food order at an AI-operated drive-thru. After concluding my order I said "Thanks", perhaps by force of habit, the...

Oh joy, the magniloquent Hanover is on. That means it's either moderately late or somewhat early. While I've taken some time off as of late, when I ha...
May 17, 2025 at 09:24
Well, perhaps, but there's two sides to every story. What you consider as a "hallmark" is merely a natural consequential side effect of ensuring truth...

This conversation is really fascinating and all, it's come a very long way but I feel it bottlenecks (no pun intended) or perhaps comes to a climax or...

Can a non-human create art? Is a human throwing a bottle of some condiment in a fit of rage against a wall that happens to create a mesmerizing patter...

Toast, bread alone, even with butter, much like sweets and sugar is a taste that has (thankfully for my own health) departed me some time ago. I have ...

A traffic light communicates. Despite it being the simplest shape (or to some, a non-shape even) of color. It's the fact it is or otherwise holds the ...

Picked up a 6-pack of my favorite IPA the other day. To my immense displeasure there appeared to be little floating specks/particles and unknown sedim...

Very true. Unfortunately, ever since I made intellectualism and culture "cool" again, all the neighborhood thugs now like to congregate at the art mus...
May 12, 2025 at 06:02
Did it really "", though? Which I believe requires some sort of conscious intent on part of the bearer. Or did you simply make a (reasonable) inferenc...

Surely one can note the similarity of such even if one was suddenly hurled into any other physical world, one devoid of any other intelligent or equal...

Neither would have the Bronze Age, let alone our current one. :chin:

I would imagine some would believe that informing others of a higher truth is really the main focus and intent of some actions, the " the principle" b...

It's humbling. Pride causes war and is essentially the root cause of all human suffering, when you really think about it. It's almost like you seem to...
