Wayfarer said: You're ignoring the bolded part. Simply put, in order for there to be knowledge that something exists, a mind is needed. Knowledge of e...
It has nothing to do with "stereotypes", but with considering the (practical) implications of an idealist stance. It seems your stance would be more c...
Straight out of a right-winger's playbook. I can turn on our local right-wing tv station or listen to the right-winger opposition in our parliament, a...
Not at all. It's plebeian mentality. There should be more of a difference between on the one hand, Trump and co., and on the other hand, their critics...
But why should this be the purpose of Nietzsche's writings? Out of compassion, or political initiative? This doesn't make sense, given that N. saw com...
It's only normal to feel a measure of shame and have social reservations if one is not (particularly) economically/financially successful. That's not ...
We have several large trees around the house that need to be pruned and trimmed. It's on me to climb up and do the work. As the years go by, I am now ...
I think fear of public speaking is usually due to not being prepared for the speech, or not believing what one is about to say. It's only normal to ha...
It seems it's actually just an interface to some other browsers. Anyway, it allows for easy control of text size, without the annoying two-finger enlr...
In other words, you can't handle even just the thought of someone not liking you. It's simply a part of life that you're never going to be good enough...
What is that?? It seems more likely that you actually wish to be liked by everyone and perhaps can't handle even just the thought of someone not likin...
You should have spoken to her, that would have broken the spell. Or perhaps you already knew that, and that's why you didn't speak to her, in order to...
It's easier on your ego to think that ... Such is democracy. The irony is that various right-wing political options have a better understanding of dem...
It doesn't look like you're trying to understand people's attitudes, you're far too eager to judge. Contempt, contempt, contempt. They're full of cont...
Very well, given the US disenfranchizement laws, the number of disenfranchized people in the US, and those collaterally affected by such disenfranchiz...
We're talking about Americans here, in particular. On the contrary. If what you say were true, Biden couldn't be sworn in as president. Yet he was. An...
It also has to do with the way Buddhist religious tenets are formulated not as commandments (the way commandments exist in, for example, Christianity)...
If a notion of goodness is such that the proposed goodness can be exploited, abused, punished, then this is not goodness at all. If the goal of the ga...
To me, it's the default. To me, relationships are dynamic, mutually conditioning two-way streets. Normal relationships, that is. But I also understand...
Me neither. Although I have no traumatic history with it. (Haha, I doubt you have it.) In 2022, I bought a basil plant whose smell I love (haven't tas...
*sigh* I asked, "And how do you distinguish between who a person is and who you think said person is?" Replying, "Okay, seriously, by spending time wi...
@"Joshs" said: Ever notice how who you think the other person in your relationship is changes over time, and who they and you are changes through bein...
This is what I mean, and to me, these things are obvious. People's bodily appearance is like the picture of Dorian Gray: it depicts all their sins and...
Lol. No, I probably haven't. I grow tomatoes, but it's too cold/the growing season too short for such large tomatoes as Barbastro. I grow varieties wi...
I'm talking about political correctness, the American parody of common decency. The question is, rather, Do we want to be governed at all? Neither. An...
The problem? Fingers and hands too big. I'm on a classic desktop keyboard right now, so, easy typing. But other than that, the post edit function does...
On the other hand, it's about the reader's intentions for reading a narrative. Nevermind whether the writer wants to deceive. Does the reader want to ...
Exactly. And Trump has found an effective way to talk about these things and to take advantage of the politically correct culture that is so prevalent...
Hardly anything is more American than never to admit defeat, to remain confident and hold one's head high, no matter what is going on. How many Americ...
