If there is an admission of construction, then how do you get from this to transcendence? If you are arriving at it through construction then please d...

On the contrary, I will not assume your metaphysical categories as default reality, if you want them you will have to defend them. Look at what Nagel ...

Thank you for extracting the citation. I am not interesting in derailing this thread, but I cannot stand idly by while you try to sneak in some kind o...

It will be clear to all careful readers that you are not comprehending your own inconsistencies and errors. This discourse did not go well for you, na...

I assumed this was in HTML. I was not able to read it. Nevertheless, I don't think it will lessen the weight of what is happening here. Your position ...

This is a deal breaker for me. I cannot have a serious conversation with a person who has an invisible, celestial friend. The mindset is so incredibly...

Great answer. :up:

I have delivered here no insults. This is your emotional response and characterization of the situation. Philosophy is not a feel good game, thought i...

This is not my argument. And I have little patience for people like yourself, so I'm going to do this swiftly. 1) Define what you mean by God. This is...

Goodness friend, what a rigorous and relevant reply. Thank you for taking the time to write it. It stands as a testament to accurate information and a...

Yes, I know who Nagel is. I cannot look at this until tomorrow, but am honestly looking forward to it. Credentials do not make the man, thought makes ...

It has as much to do with Marx's teachings of a democratic society ordered by workers as North Korea. This is one of the great dangers and tragedies o...

It is indeed becoming more clear, this is not simply your attempt at noble thought. You really should be transparent, do tell us what is at stake and ...

You have my full attention. I have truly enjoyed reading your posts, and I don't think I'm the only one.

You can ask questions on forums and sometimes you will get quality replies from intelligent people. "Building knowledge together," I think this is one...

What makes it an act of intelligence? Please keep in mind, I don't deny you the right of an aesthetic claim, you are free to discuss the powers of Zeu...

As I understand it, action comes before perception. If this is the case consciousness is not merely an image but an inter-working and synthesis of env...

One can either pretend that reality is a definition or one can look at the actual attributes of reality itself. It doesn't matter what you or I say ab...

This is precisely the vocation of thought. This is exceedingly suspect, further, you did not answer my last valid question for which you bear the burd...

revised to negation.

We simply must know, how then should the subject be "treated?" I think the problem may be the use of the term, "scientific analysis." It's possible to...

The way I see it, this all speaks to the same finality: the environments through which human systems pass are essential to the realization of their qu...

It is indeed a strange event when the agent's imagination tries to negate its being.

Why is jail the best way to solve the social problem of the criminal? What is the criminal's genesis?

Glad to see you agree that matter exists. I am aware, you are talking about a postulate not reality. This is a sophistical game. It's leveraged on the...

I care little about your formalism or anyone elses. The Soviet Union was a Right-Wing-Dictatorship presided over by Joseph Stalin. Just like all good ...

??? What on earth? Matter is what we find existing, this is not an "attitude," or "postulate." Did you happen to have an alternative?

The categories, "good" and "evil" do not explain humans. The behavior of humans is not merely "good" or "evil." It is passionate, unconscious, mindful...

PETERSON AND THE POISONED METAPHYSICAL ROOT: "Well, we don’t know what’s happened in Sodom and Gomorrah, but we know that God’s got wind of it, and th...

I've been down this road before. Conversations with people who considered themselves authorities on politics because they lived in a Right-Wing-Fascis...

Wrong fellow, it is also the deliberate act of intelligence. You will never find me discussing the theology of the Christian Holy Spirit, not because ...

Serious problems you raise here for anyone who claims to be taking the idea of God serious.

Hard to follow you here. Not sure what you're talking about? You merely re-state my point. I don't understand what point you are trying to make? My co...

It is a false assertion that claims barbarism must be advocated as a formal political method in order to be a procedure of praxis. If you must know, f...

Humans are so funny, so very very funny, they think their little brains is so special and high. Supernaturalists just love questions related to consci...

Is it possible that this entails a waste of your intellectual energy and power? Are there more important issues you could be applying your mind to?

Fantastic! All these fancy symbols, this must mean that your subject is of the highest value? I mean, you wouldn't go through all this trouble if it w...

With all the serious problems in the world, why did you choose this topic? Why spend your time on such a useless abstraction?

I did, read through the thread.

Insufferable incompetent! What man would benefit most from was changing the system that imposes his oppression in the first place. Here intelligence i...

You are living in delusion. The reason there is not more homelessness and poverty, and soon their will be, is ONLY because of social programs that exi...

Indeed I have. Beware lest you discriminate against revelation, for this would imply an external standard, which serves to nullify the authority of th...

This could not be more cynical, well, perhaps it could, you could say God is the only one who can define what a quality life means for man. However, t...

This is totally valid and deserves a reply, I just haven't had time to get to it.

:up: :up: :up:

This is false. Spanking children and burning witches neither makes society or people's lives better. Thinking one has solved the problems of existence...

No.

This is a false metaphysical statement. Ego is only part of the human psychological system.

What I said was based on your own premises. You are, by far, the worst person I have ever encountered on this forum. You are a raving narcissist, comp...

Yeah, well Hegel was wrong.
