Yeah, that’s why I can’t imagine reading it without Kindle. The flow is barely disrupted at all - and the tumbling, rumbling flow is one of the best p...

Of course!!! Suddenly, everything is so clear. Why didn’t I think of that?

I am not sure what you mean by disruptive. I love them, they’re wonderful - funnier than the main text. It’s another reason I wouldn’t read this witho...

What a great discussion. I think I said that about the last one too. While reading it I said to myself "So this is what philosophy is supposed to be l...

I didn’t think you did.

I don’t intend to drop everything and start reading Deleuze. I have a long list of other things to read first. Actually, I have a short list of things...

Every year - well, for two years now - my daughter and I read a really long book together. Last year we read the “Power Broker.” This year it’s “Infin...

“Infinite Jest” - What’s up with that?

Your and @"fdrake"'s brief discussion of Deleuze makes me think I should take a look at what he has to say.

Let's use a different example. Let's say agents of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency detained and deported a legal US resident without...

This is how I see it, although watching people here on the forum scratch and struggle to defend their metaphysical positions as universal truth, I don...

This is pretty close to my understanding of metaphysics except in most cases people who take a particular metaphysical position are not aware that the...

Now the question is, did you not look up those coordinates on Google Earth or did you look them up and are not acknowledging it because you don’t want...

Geeze, you started a metaphysics party without me. Can’t respond now, but I’ll get back to it later.

I don’t need to be manipulated. I love Google Earth and spend a lot of time on it. For example, did you know that Frostbite Falls, Minnesota is locate...

According to Google Earth, you must live quite a bit south of Atlanta.

Expresso too.

That used to be true, but Donald Trump signed an executive order which officially changed the spelling. You can now be deported to an El Salvadoran pr...

I strikes me as a very bad poem rather than a very, very bad story.

Fairness and reasonableness are procedural rules, not rules for deciding what will and won't be sanctioned. Fairness means whatever rules there are ar...

There is no rational basis. It's a question of values - what is important to the people who make the decisions about what is allowed. Using the forum ...

I pushed the post comment button too soon. Here’s my second thought. I don’t disagree with the distinctions you’re making, but I’m not sure what the i...

A couple of thoughts - The definitions of information I looked up call it a type of knowledge. We have enough trouble here on the forum deciding what ...

I’m not familiar with the specific language you use in your post, But the general direction of all our paths, Odysseys, is towards self awareness. Sel...

An appropriate topic for the first night of Passover. I’m deeply offended. Oh, wait, no it’s hangover. It’s OK. I love voice to text.

Monkeys typing. Broken clocks. Beautiful tariffs.

None of them are in the same league with Jeannie.

I’ve come to expect better than that from you.

I was thinking - The moderators should consider, rather than banning, sending bad actors to prisons in El Salvador.

That long drawn out section from ChatGPT doesn’t add anything to the discussion. You should be able to summarize your ideas quickly rather than lettin...

I promise that’s the last time I’ll use that particular one of your sticks.

True story

When someone starts a discussion, it is expected they will participate in it. People have put significant effort into their responses. Time for you to...

@"Tom Storm" @"Count Timothy von Icarus" This is a great discussion. Even our arch-atheist @"180 Proof" Is playing nice.

The “world” shares some of the blame for this. They’ve let the US be the big boss for a long time. They’ve hated us and counted on us. They’ve used us...

Similar themes from different sources. Robert Frost “Here, take a tree-top, I'll get down another. Hold on with all your might when I let go.' I said ...

I find this sort of discussion frustrating for some of the reasons I think you are getting at here. To me, there are two types of relevant question. F...

It's not that it was easier when I was younger (and four years is not much younger.) It's that I've spent a lot of time thinking and writing since I j...

I think that’s the way it’s supposed to be.

I think that’s mostly true for every philosopher.

Yes, I know all that, but I still think it violates the new policy. Let's ask the moderators. Wait...no...let's not.

Does this violate the new no embedding rule? Probably.

Thanks y'all. Yes, I was using my mobile. I found it on my computer. Javi - I looked for the "desktop" switch on my phone but I don't see it. 0.88

How do I know how many mentions I’ve had?

As I noted, most of it was from an OP I wrote four years ago.

If you've ever participated in other discussions here about consciousness, you might have noticed that they often - almost always - break down because...

I’m not so sure. You know those damn Jews and their obsession with punctuation.

Yikes! Is this a joke?
