Yes, there is.

Who doesn't? To me your MAGA hat is the height of the profane. To you your MAGA hat has the sacred luminance of the king.

The notion of bullshit jobs is no different: highly subjective. What celebrities give to their fans their fans would more likely call sacred than bull...

I take it you haven't seen an episode of Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Mark Levin, or Laura Ingraham lately. Propagandize is putting it mildly.

Do you hear the clamor? The notion of a bullshit product is highly subjective. Unless you want to draw the line at food, clothing, shelter and healthc...

For Christ's sake: Fox News is not a credible source.

I was thinking less in terms of "things" - and more in terms of things.

I'm having trouble thinking of a job that doesn't produce something of some kind. I think you're exaggerating so I have to wonder why you're exaggerat...

That's more prudent than taking a bite.

The bag of rocks doesn't convey the fact that it's a bag of rocks and not a strawberry pie? Then how do you know it's not a strawberry pie?
April 30, 2020 at 01:53
So now we know the boundaries of your definition of information. But the dictionary says: "Information: 2. what is conveyed or represented by a partic...

I wonder if you know of any good forums for psychology or sociology...Thanks!

If you have no burning question to illuminate, philosophy is bound to be a bore. Do you have a burning question? If your question is no longer a burni...

“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. https://www.bbc.com/future/...

Fun is funny word here. Philosophy strikes me as the fruit of intellectual dizziness, paralysis or crisis. A sense of urgency is key: an urgent or deb...

Of course. Change the subject. Whataboutism at its most ludicrous. :lol:

I don't think they need any excuse at all. Trumpsters, like Trump, will say anything. They've muddied the very notion of a fact. No doubt Trump's most...

To my view, the sensation springs from a spasmodic imagination activated by desire or fear: fear of malevolent watchers or desire for a benevolent wat...

Name-calling is the hallmark of a childish mind. Rarely does a love of wisdom produce such smallness of soul.

These experiences may have some play in notions of god or the devil: All around us, watching, but unseen.

I think I see how it works.
April 26, 2020 at 01:01
That makes sense. If I compare: "Tree" refers to tree. and "That tree" refers to that tree. - the first phrase makes almost no sense to me and the sec...

I don't see how "1" can refer to 1 in the same simple way (let's say) "justice" or "beauty" refer to justice or beauty. There's almost no information ...

A sort of thing that is.
April 25, 2020 at 11:29
My thought was that "1" might refer to "1". A circularity. Not that "1" might refer to 1.

Liability because they want to cover their ass when people start trying this shit out.

I agree with the bulk of this. But carelessness is no defence. It conveys just how low Trump has set the bar. He has a gift for pushing the bar lower ...

The President's words can move armies. Armies of all kinds. In this case, very stupid armies. Have some empathy for the very stupid.
April 24, 2020 at 17:10
Nonchalantly affixing the term "layman" to the President of the United States is an act of decontextualizing reductivism. You know this.
April 24, 2020 at 17:08
A layman? What a joke. Anything to cast your hero in the most innocent light.
