Again, what' wrong with self-improvement or self-therapeutic ventures that philosophy can be? I mean, having spent some ten to fifteen years on philos...

I encourage anyone anti-nuclear to check out this documentary or film about nuclear energy and dispelling the prejudices about it: https://www.youtube...
May 06, 2019 at 20:04
I don't see what wrong is being professed by advocating some wallowing or talking about issues. Again, I liken philosophy to therapy, which you can fi...

Well, I value the eclectic feel of intersubjective thoughts and opinions on the matter which is manifest on these forums. I don't really have money fo...
May 06, 2019 at 05:02
Haha. People remember you for the thing you don't do than rather do. Do you ever have that narcissistic urge to be remembered for something? I feel li...
May 06, 2019 at 04:02
Well, this forum has a tendency towards personal issues that go unrecognized in daily life. Whereas philosophy can be therapeutic for some, like me. Y...

Well, initially I wanted to grow indoors. Cannabis (indica) likes that high altitude climate where it originated from Afghanistan and Iran if I'm not ...

Thanks. Its normal and my lack of it is causing me distress. I'm pretty indifferent towards the issue despite it being probably the most intrinsic urg...

Yeah, there's a new series coming out from HBO about Chernobyl. Have a looksie. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s9APLXM9Ei8

The American Dream need a mention here. It seems we like to sleep a lot in America, despite all the amphetamine and methylphenidate we are feeding to ...
May 06, 2019 at 02:15
Yeah, your milage may vary. Set and setting also... I'm surprised you have such a positive reaction to THC. Do you smoke pot rich in CBD? CBD binds to...
May 06, 2019 at 01:59
*Laughs* Oh come now. Let's not commit the sin of dismissing hard work where it is due. I suppose so. Well, it's just that most breakthroughs in scien...

I don't know how to psychologize this issue. There really isn't much room to rationalize such a basic urge that is sex. I suppose it has to do with fe...

Do you want to have kids?
May 05, 2019 at 21:18
Holy... Anyway, you seem like you're incredibly resilient and cope well in high-stress situations. :heart:
May 05, 2019 at 21:15
Well, here I disagree. Nuclear is remarkably safe and sustainable. The amount of nuclear waste is trivial (would fit in a football field stacked a met...
May 05, 2019 at 21:13
Anyway, the real abuse was emotional neglect and the abusive tendencies of a male who did not know how to express his feelings in my view @"TogetherTu...
May 05, 2019 at 20:54
I've been pondering over the issue of having kids. I'm 28 years old, never had a stable relationship; but, paradoxically I don't feel lonely. Anyway, ...
May 05, 2019 at 20:48
Predominantly, I think so.
May 05, 2019 at 20:10
Tell me more. There's only so much of that to go around. I feel sorry for the poor task (double duty) of educating and raising children in overpacked,...
May 05, 2019 at 19:55
So, I see vaporwave with their rehashing of capitalist disenfranchisement has evolved into Laborwave, a communist slant of vaporwave. Yes, things are ...
May 05, 2019 at 19:30
Haha, I remember the idiocy of the "atomic for peace" campaign... Hehe, pretty witty statement there.
May 05, 2019 at 18:37
Now, this is the proper response, although prematurely reached for some children. Perhaps, some Stoic or Cynical philosopher might nod their head in a...
May 05, 2019 at 18:30
To necromance an old thread this is somewhat pertinent to the recent discussions popping about drug use, pleasure, and happiness, along with my own st...
May 05, 2019 at 03:27
Ouch. Sorry to hear. Yeah, the test is pretty broad and all encompassing. I thought it was pretty short being only 10 questions for the issues raised.
May 05, 2019 at 01:35
Wait till you see what our robotic soon to be overlords determine as what we really want. It will be spoon-feeding us drugs and blasting pornographic ...
May 05, 2019 at 01:19
Yes, I believe you are right. But, the generality of the question posed, leaves much to be desired in my mind.
May 05, 2019 at 01:17
Reminds me of that poem you shared a while ago about the gracefully watching over of our robot overlords.

So, I'll elaborate since you've shown interest in the issue. Namely, given your antipsychiatry sentiment, and my affinity of the (unthinkable) assumpt...
May 04, 2019 at 21:57
So, I'm going to throw out my favorite word of the week, being "homeostasis", with yours being xyz... If I understand your reasoning correctly and the...
May 04, 2019 at 21:07
Well, I'm quite glad you aren't putting Mrs Un through therapy or that she needs it. Things seem to be going well in your part of the world. I see, so...
May 04, 2019 at 19:56
Thanks. Oh; but, how the Japanese circa the end of WWII disagree here, along with the scientists that created the atomic bomb felt guilt and repugnanc...

And, let us not forget that God is the ultimate solipsist.
May 04, 2019 at 19:19
Yes, a wallowing of sorts... But, there's something to be said about wallowing, coming from a professional wallower. In that to wallow is to appreciat...
May 04, 2019 at 19:08
3 for me. The questionnaire doesn't asses the impact of neglect, which is a comparative trauma of sorts. "Why don't you love me?" Why is that unenligh...

None. Nada. Nic. *wallows to sleep and dreams about his cats*
May 04, 2019 at 08:00
I still think about my two cats left in Europe when I moved back to the States 10 years ago. They're pretty old by now and approaching that age. One w...
May 04, 2019 at 07:50
I'm going to go on a limb here and say that should responses are pleasure driven. Once you realize this the map is fully defined and complete in regar...

May 04, 2019 at 07:28
Well, on the bright side, you, I, and everyone else currently alive won't see the full impact of climate change. Most likely the next generation won't...
May 04, 2019 at 07:27
Indeed.
May 04, 2019 at 04:04
Impressive. Pick your poison?
May 04, 2019 at 03:51
Hmm, self medication tends to be a dead end. But, my experience is similar to yours in that I vaped cannabis a lot in college. Everyone at my college ...

I read a book a long time ago where the author tried to model beauty in mathematical terms. He or she used symbols like the circle, pentagon, and the ...

Yeah, pretty much everything you said is in those two quotes. Ta-da!
