I don't care if you call it "middle class," or something else. No society can call itself good if it doesn't provide access to a decent way of life to...

I haven't seen any response to @"Possibility"'s comment about the source of your information. I am skeptical of the characterizations you have made. I...

Mary Baker Eddy, Ellen G. White, and, of course, the Virgin Mary.

You're assuming you haven't heard from any women.

This is a really good post. As I noted for Tim Wood's post above, it is reasonable, nuanced, and well-expressed. One objection - I think I did note a ...

I think your post is very reasonable, nuanced, and well-expressed. I agree with what you've written.

Although I disagree with some of your post, I thought much of it was reasonable and nuanced. I appreciate that. I generally support the position that ...

Sporcle is a quiz webpage that sometimes is really interesting. They have quizzes about everything. I especially like the language, science, and geogr...

By which I mean "thanks."

I just thought of a great response to any post you don't want to respond to. Examples: @"Noble Dust" - :smile: T Clark - tl;dr @"Hanover" - T Clark - ...

Don't like the hair or the face, but I love what she's wearing.

I loved "Titus Groan" but have been afraid to read "Gorhemgest." Yes, I know that's ridiculous. I started it once, but was daunted even though I knew ...

Perhaps the centaur is about to be poleaxed. She's a god, isn't she?

Yes, well, we all knew it was a joke so we only pretended to be interested. We got together on PM and planned out how to present the stupidest ideas a...

I'll be interested in hearing what you have to say.

For me, Tyson represents what I call "Gee whiz!" science, which I dislike. Was my impression that the Shannon film was like that correct?

Thank you. I really like writing reviews if it's a book that really moved or influenced me. I almost always write positive reviews. I wrote the one fo...

The link goes to a trailer for a full-length feature. I didn't see any way to watch it. Perhaps I missed it. From what little it showed, it seemed a b...

Just showing your old white guy prejudice.

I was just surprised that your voice was so high and squeeky.

Philosopaths perhaps? I think there might be quite a few here on the forum.

You should start a thread, but then @"jamalrob" would just move it to the Lounge. Although maybe on something like the Philosophy of Food...

I think I understand what you're saying, but I also think are using the term "useful" in a different sense than I am. I'm getting a bit overloaded wit...

You rambled very nicely and provided an interesting, well-thought-out, and well-written post.

I think this is related to our craft discussion. I guess the Africans and Pre-Columbians who created the objects you are talking about were doing just...

I'm not familiar enough with Kant's arguments to say that Yossarian's position contradicts them. As was discussed previously, it might depend on which...

This has been one of the most enjoyable discussions I've participated in in a long time. I came in with ideas that I know need to be tested about some...

I've been endorsing two meanings of the word "art." 1) Something artificial without meaning beyond the viewers experience and 2) Something offered for...

I've been pushing the definition of art as something without meaning beyond the viewer's experience. That leads to the same contradiction you're talki...

You mentioned it on this thread previously. I also thought I remembered you writing about it in the thread we participated in on interpretation last w...

One of the reasons Collingwood's explanation struck me is that I remember you making that distinction in previous posts.

It is not clear that I understand it properly. That's what I'm working on here.

It's not clear to me you understand what the word "dogma" means. The prevalence of inflexible, dogmatic assertions about disputed ideas is one of the ...

In my immediately previous post, I identify the idea of useful arts as a challenge to the ways of defining art I have been endorsing. That set me thin...

@"Tom Storm" I don't know if you looked at the post I put in on Collingwood's discussion of art vs. craft. If you did, I'd be interested in hearing yo...

I agree.

Thank you. Do the reviews provide any support for my position that the standard by which the quality of art should be judged is based on the experienc...

Thank you.

My review of "Titus Groan" by Melvin Peake. Wonderful, bleak, lovely, tedious, beautiful, unrelenting Six stars. Eleven stars. 432 stars. Tedious and ...

I'd like to take a swing at this in a way I think may be a bit self-indulgent. In a thread still active here on the forum - "A different style of inte...

I've just started reading "The Principles of Art" by R.G. Collingwood. I came across some historical information that I found interesting and thought ...

If I'd had the information you've provided here while I was editing your text, I think there would have been fewer comments.

First paragraph No comments. Second paragraph This paragraph seems unnecessary and distracting to me. Not distracting, equivocating. It undercuts the ...

I made a bunch of specific comments and recommendations. It's your job to decide which are useful and should be addressed and which don't need to be. ...

Ok, then I'll continue. Editing is something I enjoy. Second Paragraph Why are you mentioning Austin when you're not going to use him? Why are you usi...

Seems like you are taking a subject that is clearly about physics and trying to make it somehow about metaphysics, i.e. ontology. I think that's a fut...

And by "the man," you mean your wife, is that correct?
