With all due respect you're way out of your depths here. What you have brought are a bunch of false assumptions. When Marx speaks of nationalizing lan...

With all due respect, I am not going to expound Hegel's dialectic here on this thread, but it is not simply explained by the movement and stagnation o...

I did not say this, I said he was the gateway to dialectic. But I will say more about him, he was, very possibly, very possibly, the greatest human mi...

How you use the term absolute matters quite a bit here. One must be wary of the false criteria of a radical skepticism. Why is it false? Because it st...

If you can establish the existence of this thing I will agree to it as a negative criteria.

That being is more than a dead image or fragmentation of time, is not an opinion.

There's a reading group on this text meeting through Zoom. If you have an interest let me know and I'll tell you where to find it. Please note: I am n...

Of course, one cannot be a serious thinker if they have not read Hegel. I should say, one could be, but only if they get past thought as an inert imag...

Friend you're behind on the times, we already went beyond logic over 200 years ago. Further, "intuition" is not what lies beyond logic, being, compreh...

One more thing I should have noted: this conversation has just morphed into a total waste of time. This is a red herring. I never claimed that numbers...

You already did this: "Mathematics is a formalized language of quantity." Strange you would misquote your own position when we have it in writing: "so...

What I am most interested in, I would to like hear from you what reality looks like through your eyes if the universe is not mathematical? What does i...

Tragic. What a waste of life. Do tell me, where did these conversations take you, what did they do for you in terms of concretion? Clearly, even after...

This is what all the evidence tells us. Well now, arguments are based on premises, which are themselves assertions. Maybe you should try interacting w...

"Though we can produce symbols via which to convey... concepts, we do not likewise willfully produce the universe’s attribute of being endowed with qu...

Can you tell me what this has to do with Marx? Of course we should all stand against this kind of Right Wing totalitarianism, fascism is dangerous no ...

You have this supernatural belief, so you must have some kind of reason for it, surely, being a mathematician for "sixty years," this ought to be an e...

Can you provide an example of two things that are exactly the same? In order for math to be what you believe it to be (for starters) this must the cas...

Once again, more of the dark ages brought into the present. Will power as you speak of it does not exist, your will is determined by your motivation a...

There you have it friend. A concept void of any substance, negation without ramification.

This proves that you can't even enter the room to talk with the adults, and this is why: it is the most basic knowledge of sociology and social psycho...

No need for this here: What separates humans from other primates is that we look to the adults to obtain information about ourselves and our environme...

You are correct, but it seems to me this needs to be the topic of another thread. Also, we are not guessing here. The Human-Nature-Metaphysicians have...

I actually don't want to argue over Marx's orthodoxy, the world of Marxism is full of such banter. So to answer the question, at the same time moving ...

What then does mathematical supernaturalism entail? The straight-forward confession that one worships math and that math is a God? I think not. To be ...

So true. All this means is that serious intellectuals have much work to do. Ignorance is the mother of tyranny.

More than he knows for sure, Marx has extended commentary on Smith. The Libertarian, one-sided Adam Smith, the raving capitalist, seems to be the one ...

You are going to have to give a further exposition of your point if you want feedback. The way you cite me makes me think you have not understood my p...

The nationalization of property does not mean the abnegation of private property. Please read more carefully before you reply next time.

No my friend, what the evidence favors is that human personality structures are conditioned by 1) attachment systems and 2) quality and stability of e...

A point of supreme importance. Who is being listened to and why? No one asks the question, "who should I listen to and why?" Not all thinkers are equa...

Assuredly not. Libertarians are not serious thinkers, but they are ideological thinkers, their approach to the world is fallaciously monological. To b...

Are you a Christian?

I'm curious what point you were trying to make? What was the purpose of your thread? Never-mind, I found the thread. My goodness. Fella, you've been w...

You bring up many important points. The intellectual is not free from the institution, economic coercion regulates his original action, forcing him to...

I never said this. These are not my words.

You and I will not be talking again. It is clear to me that you are not serious, I took a chance because you said you were, although I had my suspicio...

Absolutely. And this is a good reminder of my own position. I was crushed by reality when I finally realized my Christianity was false. But oh how nec...

If there is no God and the world is violence and chaos. Can you live with this, can you accept it if this is the nature of reality?

But my dear, EnPassant, how ever do you get out of this circle once you enter in?

Then there is not much more to say.

Then this must be proof that it's not there. After all, if it was there, surely you would be able to detect it? The same is true of all forms of bias ...

Then clearly you have already violated your original premise regarding truth. Only here the problem is that you have evaded it in the wrong direction....

Here you have not transcended the presupposition of the criteria of radical skepticism. What you say you cannot attain is conditioned by a false ideal...

Please see Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death.

This was C. S. Lewis' last attempt to hold onto his Christianity in the face of the encroaching resistance. He simply resigned himself to pragmatic he...

Instrumentality is one of the main dangers of reason. Hard it is to get those born into slavery to see the error of slavery. It is no different when i...

Here truth can only be posited in the most abstract sense, which renders it useless. The presumption behind the claim is a stacked deck, the thinker d...

The motivation is a subconscious drive to prevent psychological pain.

This is a most interesting notion. It takes my mind to a further question, which is that of the value of truth arrangement, pending such a possibility...
