That's reversing cause and effect. People who want to have easy access to children choose jobs where they do and who have enough authority to get away...

Tangentially, this is the most inaccurate statement ever made about a Canadian in winter.

What hysterical exagerations? If someone told you the basis of gender problems is that men cannot hit women in an socially acceptable manner, that the...

Re Peterson's POMO Big Brother website... What is even the point? Who enrolls in a PoMo-centric cursus without being aware of it? Who the fuck enrolls...

You should look into New Angeles by FFG. You will either connect or end up hating each other.

Well, if it is, then Frege, Russell, Carnap and al. sure lost a hell of a lot of time trying to build-up their lingua characteristica.

I'd rather be Belgian than 'Merican. Although, admittedly, not by much.

It never remains prelinguistic for long. The perplexed look is either a lead to an exclamative thought or a sign that leads to an explanation of anoth...

This is where we part. "S is P" is not the structure of the world, it's just the easiest format of valuation we can operate with.

I don't get this level of relativism. If one is 'bad' because he takes hard drugs and almost everyone around considers this to be bad, but is 'good' b...
January 23, 2018 at 06:48
Well, I doubt it would make much sense to deny how linguistic inquiry is capable of so much more than non-symbolic inquiry. With a question, you can b...

Huh... no?

Perhaps you have never raised a dog or a cat? A perplexed look is pretty much the same thing as the question "why".
