My personal understanding of morality. We use different language, so I guess I misunderstood.

I have a different take on morality than others I have discussed it with here on the forum. Please believe I am not joking or being sarcastic when I s...

"Moral indecency" and "darker side" are not terms, or the kinds of terms, I use to describe human behavior. That's what I mean when I say you and I ha...

And they all do it for about half what it costs here.

As I noted, if something this unusual catches your attention, I'm interested to see what it has to say.

You wrote: I responded: The fact that living life unavoidably brings us into conflict with other people has nothing to do with "moral indecency" or a ...

A really good, comprehensive summary. Discouraging. I can't think of much to say. I don't have anything near an answer. How can we go through Vietnam,...

I had never heard of the Institute, so I looked it up. I also downloaded "Alien Theory." I can't imagine I'll read it all, but I at least wanted to ch...

You and I don't have enough common ground to discuss this. As I noted, I'll look for non-political discussions that we can both participate in.

You and I will never have a productive political dialogue. You propose invading India to force our way of life on them. You support a man you acknowle...

There is truth in what you say and maybe you're right. That doesn't change my prescription, even if it turns out to be unrealistic. I just get so furi...

I think Trump is the glue that holds Republicans, who hate each other, together. I'll be interested to see what happens when Trump is finally gone - w...

This thread was not aimed at convincing people of my Democratic views. See the OP.

As I noted, I like Sanders. I think he'd make an... interesting president. I'd certainly vote for him. I still think centrist candidates have a better...

A discussion for a different thread.

There's no sense in arguing about this in this thread. I have a hard time dealing with people who think that minorities, especially black people, some...

More support for American workers and industry.

Your recent thread "In Support of Western Supremacy, Nationalism, and Imperialism" makes it clear this is not true. I can't think of a response to tha...

Your opinion of my attitude is not really of interest to me.

Agreed. Part of the point of my OP is that there are extraneous issues, which I described, which are preventing creating such a political core. I don'...

The whole point of my OP is that this isn't true, so, clearly, you and I disagree. The majority of Americans, including in conservative states, suppor...

I started out ambivalent about the program but came around to feeling it was a good idea. From what I can tell from the web, support for forgiveness w...

I'm not talking about candidates with good ideas, I'm talking about how to win. Sanders is too far left.

I'll say it again, I think Biden's domestic policies have been the right ones. I had hoped to see what he could do in the second term.

You're right that the way Harris was chosen had a negative impact on the results.

I like Sanders a lot, but I don't think his kind of liberal can win. We need to be more in the center. You and I disagree on Biden.

I am a strong liberal on policy and value issues, but a moderate on process, governance, and compromise. I don't think that's comparable to your type ...

That's what the forum is for.

American wages, adjusted for inflation, haven't gone up since the 1970s. Good paying industrial jobs have been replaced by service jobs. The economic ...

I don't think the manner in which Harris was chosen was the issue. My guess is that it was primarily that we let the Republicans set the agenda. My su...

I don't think influence is the primary issue, although they do have to deal with those further to the left. I think they do what they believe, both pe...

This is a characterization of the differences between the parties/political philosophies that might have had some truth in the past, but it no longer ...

There used to be moderately liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats. Not anymore. The Democrats in Congress couldn't even work with moderates l...

That's a good point. I didn't mention it because I'm not sure any foreign policy position would have much impact on an election here. I think Palestin...

This is a good summary. I think I’ll save it and use it in all the various future discussions of what philosophy is. Don’t worry I’ll give you credit ...

I have put this idea out there in previous discussions. The way I phrased it is that philosophy is a way of becoming more self-aware about how we thin...

I'm surprised how hard thinking about philosophy as a practice, my practice, has struck me. I've been dancing around the idea for a while, but I never...

If the search function started refusing to process low quality philosophy, most of us here on the forum would be in trouble. Not you and me of course.

I would expect it is the Coriolis force. The program was probably written in the northern hemisphere.

I'm sure we must have agreed on something in the past 7 years.

Alas, if only denial made it true. As far as I can tell, you and Bob don’t even care if it is.

Funny you should mention that. After I wrote the post you responded to, I realized that what philosophy is for me is a practice, like meditation or ex...

So, am I Mu-nan or Shoiu?

I don’t find philosophy useless at all. I use it all the time.

I don't know and you don't know whether he would have been convicted. You didn't "expound" any evidence at all. You just waved around vague allegation...

I don’t think you have any good reason to say that. Face facts - You support a man who treats women like shit, including sexual assault. The man who’s...

I can't be certain, but I think there was a good chance he would have been convicted. It wasn't taken up as a criminal matter because it happened in t...

Note - it was a civil, not a criminal, court. He wasn't found legally guilty, he was found liable and had to pay money.

Thanks for the link. Note that the figure you provided is not Damasio's, it's one of the other figures from the linked article.
