No, nobody is forcing US consumers to buy Chinese products, despite their products perhaps being cheaper than US products or European products. I mean...
No, this isn't entirely true. It hurts China by decreasing demand for its products within the US. This is like econ 101, so I think you understand the...
I'm not quite sure that's true. In basic economic terms, the goal is to impose a deadweight loss cost on products originating from China, supposedly b...
Sounds like psychology to my ears. Philosophy has always been a dialectic between multiple parties and not a bilaterial exchange of ideas. However, I ...
Hehe, same here. There was an episode in Star-Trek The Original Series, where Kirk was divided into two beings, one with effeminate characteristics an...
Well, this is true to the degree that routines are established and tasks (such as working) become repetitive. Also, memory encoding, which degrades wi...
I read your bio in the link to your website in your profile. You seem conflicted about academia, where your thoughts are best addressed in terms of gu...
Pretty much. I wish I studied more medicine and neuroscience/cognitive science; but, my semi-educated take on the matter is that there is a perceptual...
Healthcare of wallowing you say? Well, I suppose I will die of a blood clot from laying in bed all day or a heart attack from the amount of smoking I'...
Yes. I agree. It's troubling that we don't always agree to disagree. I like your favorite quote. Withdrawal in disgust is not the same thing as apathy...
Nope. You seemed less negative, hostile, and angsty back in the old PF if I remember you correctly. More motivated to learn than the above. What happe...
Sorry, I was just bringing up some questions that I've accumulated in regards to Wittgenstein's Investigations, that are lingering in my mind. Thanks ...
Haha, I'm not that stupid. You don't care about the destination of this thread, just endless rationalizations of your own drug habit, with tim serving...
Yeah; but, you take joy and glee in the whole process, whatever that process entails for you. Anyway, hope you stocked up on your drugs to help you in...
Here is the context: 323. “What is internal is hidden from us.” — The future is hidden from us. — But does the astronomer think like this when he calc...
So, juxtapose what you have just said with: 327. If a lion could talk, we wouldn’t be able to understand it. I must insist that this is at the very le...
Yeah, descriptively there's really no solution to how we ought to go about these problems, as Wittgenstein would point out. But, prescriptively we are...
I'm not trying to imply that women have some moral "authority" over or pertaining to matters concerning ethics and moral conduct. I guess, all I'm say...
Yeah, I don't feel as though women get enough credit in society and specifically within the field of philosophy. There's a repugnant feeling of male s...
Thanks, I'll have a read. I've come recently to the conclusion that the later Wittgenstein was more of a neo-pragmatist in his adherence to forms of l...
I'm going to designate this thread as a place where we can talk about Fear and Trembling or alternatively about K's Concept of Anxiety. I hope more me...
What Marx got wrong, was his slant of microeconomic thought in regards to productivity and capitalism. It's rather a daunting task to try and address ...
It's interesting to note that foundational doctrines and structuralist assertions within the field of philosophy have only led to very few bedrock or ...
I can't but feel as though Kierkegaard is drawing out the subject/object divide here between God and the individual. In of itself, this can cause anxi...
I suppose you can say so. Though, I don't understand the use of the term "timeless thermodynamic phenomena"... This would be true if no constants exis...
Thanks for bringing this up. I always understood time as an emergent phenomenon from lower dimensions upward, instead of the absolutism of higher dime...
OK, now I can see what he means to address (by proxy) anxiety, dread, sin, and other labile emotions through explication of this concept of inwardness...
But, if I'm understanding you correctly, then in a deterministic universe where a perfect unchanging equilibrium persists, then time, understood as a ...
