Yes, it does. So does systemic classism. Those two systemic failures fuel the other. If I can use systemic classism to keep black people from gaining ...

Oh good. Someone found the No-cat I was talking about a few days ago. Was wondering when that would happen.

I don't believe Analytical philosophy has a negative social value. I do think some analytical philosophers do. I can tell people what I think is the t...

Can't believe how unjustifiably full of themselves some people on this forum are and how rude they can be when ignoring people who disagree with them....
September 25, 2020 at 19:53
Maybe, Maybe not. I do however have very little faith in your ability to recognise who the ignorant are and are assuming it is not you.
September 25, 2020 at 19:33
I will be starting a thread later that is related to this one. I'll briefly explain myself here and make a fuller accounting in the other thread. The ...

No they aren't. In fact very few conceptions of god are the same.

Well... Duh? It wasn't written by infallible beings.
September 25, 2020 at 03:06
Too true, Erfucht Vom der Leben gets translated as reverence for life, when in reality the phrase used here for reverence is also supposed to express ...

If they are evangelists and are genuinely trying to push their ideology as the only one worth, by the rules they should at least be getting warnings o...

I think our emotion and reason are attached for a reason. Desire is in emotion I desire to reason about things. I desire to reason about them because ...

Everything we can perceive or comprehend is a matter of feeling. But I understand what you mean. I don't know if I answered your question either. My g...
September 25, 2020 at 01:50
Agreed. We haven't even gotten to the point of taking about if the only personality playing is the part of me that knows how to play chess and that al...
September 24, 2020 at 21:26
That's okay, I am being sincere when I say that the problem has me pretty stumped and I'm definitely working on intuition, among other things, in orde...
September 24, 2020 at 21:10
Me neither. If you enable the bad behaviour you are contributing to it. I'm maybe okay with certain things being done ironically for the sake of satir...
September 24, 2020 at 20:47
I play chess too. I am reasonably certain that I know what I am talking about and don't need you to explain chess to me, and also that you've missed t...
September 24, 2020 at 20:24
At face value, is there something philosophical to be written about it? I've thought of a lot of reasonable answers to it, but none of them seem to co...

Here is the thing that boggles my mind the most about this problem. Engaging with the problem, puts you into the problem.
September 24, 2020 at 19:04
This is an extremely intriguing answer! Give me a second, going to send some thoughts on this to someone else from a different forum.
September 24, 2020 at 18:55
I wrote you a really long response which I've ended up putting into my book. Would you like to read an excerpt and also let me know how you would pref...
September 24, 2020 at 15:17
They are both good responses though. Not dull to me. There is a third option however, that the person playing with themselves are not just them self b...

When your opponent is you, thinking ahead courts defeat because you've likely already decided which colour is going to win and which will lose. Meanin...

Someone else was telling me recently to check out psycholinguistics. I was also having a discussion with @"schopenhauer1"about animal linguistics. It ...
September 24, 2020 at 06:52
No, this is just the advantage of first move start. It's essentially saying the likelihood of white winning is at it's highest before the first move i...
September 24, 2020 at 05:58
This post isn't about race either.
September 24, 2020 at 05:00
I don't believe that at all. I said White statistically wins more often. The meaning of the OP is more nuanced than that. If you you go back and rerea...
September 24, 2020 at 04:57
In chess, it is statistically verified that the first move advantage in chess contributes to an increased likelihood of winning the game by about 2-6%...
September 24, 2020 at 04:36
From there, you can maybe go on to imagine if it was relative to an individual, Humanity, life or some other concept. Context is my go to. Contextual ...
September 24, 2020 at 03:32
You can maybe say that; Morals are relative to something, is 1 moral absolute. Just because some of the theories have the word relative in them, doesn...
September 24, 2020 at 03:30
Okay. Applied. Admittedly I may have paraphrased something from Mr Robot, however that is something I like and the topic is philosophy of mind so ther...
September 24, 2020 at 03:28
You didn't sound rude at all. It's not as if you said "You are not good at writing." I appreciate the advice and I do understand. The problem I feel I...
September 24, 2020 at 03:04
Thank you for posting this! Really amazing read. Where does Semiotics come into play with linguistics?
September 23, 2020 at 21:04
You make a good point. I also don't see why we are even having a discussion about the state of free speech in a forum on philosophy. Any critically an...

This seems like a strange thing to say when it was an 11th month long republican senate blockade which stopped Obama from getting Merrick appointed to...

What have you got against mental illness?
September 23, 2020 at 08:50
Also, what have you got against the phrase "In an OP?" @"Banno"
September 23, 2020 at 08:21
.... Umm... Wouldn't that mean you would be the first to go? Since this is clearly your theory of why you think your opinions, ideas or other novel re...
September 23, 2020 at 08:20
do you feel I have answered your question?
September 23, 2020 at 06:27
Not sure of your meaning here
September 23, 2020 at 06:27
No, you are offering up a base assertion right here. Both the former and latter claim are absurd. This is a word game where the word "Language" has be...
September 23, 2020 at 06:25
My dear boy, Now, fly, you fools.
September 23, 2020 at 05:56
It's a good question that deserves a good answer. I don't think either of us can be reasonably certain. That's not a good answer but it's what I am re...
September 23, 2020 at 05:45
@Everyone. Instead of treating this discussion thread as your own personal form of therapy, using others as a proxy for your hurt, you wake up and rem...
September 23, 2020 at 05:29
I can understand why you would think this. Unfortunately there is a problem with your reasoning on this. A big one. You've made an assumption that it'...
September 23, 2020 at 04:58
There are 9, I say 9 senses which are in the domain of empirical observation. The Big five, as I like to call them are what we would call Sensus Exter...
September 23, 2020 at 03:04
I know. I was just trying to pre-empt anyone who may have jumped onto our conversation and let me have it if I hadn't tried to imagine the argument wi...

Well, a linguistic paradox is when two ideas are thought of to be true at the same time even though their natures inherently negate each other. So if ...
