Isn't that a very difficult way to the top of the mountain? I mean, you seem to get the idea that control and depression go together like horse and ca...

Given your experience with the whole industry of antidepressants and the obsession with magical, fast acting, immediate relief inherent biases out of ...

This is very difficult for me as a wishful Stoic. As a man, I almost feel as if it is wrong in some way.

Oh, I can relate. I always assumed the double role of teachers pet (I just had the smarts to know what they wanted from a student effortlessly) and cl...

It not me trying to pick anyone out or the OP in particular. You see Abrahamic religions in generally occupied with this... obsession?

I'm trying to draw out the motivation behind or driving this thread...

You mean as a thought or an obsession sort of thing that is happening with this thread?

I may be dumb and stupid but it ain't happening again. The: aaaammmmiiittthhh sssspppeeeaaakkkiinnnggg guuuud shit is off the table.

But, at the end of the day I barge in here blacked out high and out of my nutters, it's jamalrob's call whether I stay or leave. I don't know how I th...

Since I've been prohibited from starting threads, and I have no qualms with the issue I wanted to share a thread that got deleted; but, had something ...

Really? Then on your authority (you were even the person who dubbed my nick I borrowed from the old PF), I won't post anymore.

I don't need a mediator, man. What I want is a jury. So, I'll sleep over this thread and see if anything magical happens.

Yeah; but, there's no solution if I can't make any more at all, can I? So, I guess it is what it is?

I have never been ungrateful and have always praised this place on the internet. But, if I can't post topics anymore according to what jamalrob has sa...

And, now I appeal to others to my defence or guilt of meeting with unspecified standards, which I hope on polishing up on as a fictitious homework ass...

Ok, I'm going to cool off here and not get riled up jamalrob over you personalizing the issue along with Baden about my post quality. My point is that...

I'm not going to become emotional here; but, isn't this quote in your sig: To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the he...

Fine, your call. https://i.imgur.com/7DGDXqP.png

Can, I post a pic of your implicit threat made via PM to me?

No, that thread was an issue regarding playing devil's advocate and attitude formation, which ultimately culminated in a version of developing an onli...

Ok, got the message. Thanks.

Yeah, you get my drift. But, here wait for it... it's Whitehead with his claim that the (majority) of Western philosophy is footnotes to Plato... Now,...

The issue goes quite deep, so if you don't mind here's my manifesto. My father was cold, ruthless, and showed little to no emotions. Ok, I'll save you...

Yes, you talk about love. How does it work? I know about reciprocity and empathy. I don't feel many emotions possibly due to the meds I take. But, I'l...

I really think that emotionally, I'm not quite there yet. I've been told that I have an impoverished sense of emotions. Not to stereotype or pigeonhol...

I have a love-hate relationship with Wittgenstein. On the one end, he impressed me immensely in my short life yet. On the other, he has spewed such (I...

I would call it a vicious stigma to be honest. Now, that's where dangerous psychologizing of the subject can occur. Just in my opinion. Keep up the aw...

Maybe we should start a scholarship in his name. It will be for nobody and the grant will be in the fictitious sum of nothing.

Ok, I should put in some effort. Isn't the whole point? I mean, philosophers are well known for doing nothing, and some outright say that they are rea...

Mind you I don't spend my entire day on PronHub. Now, that outta the way, can we proceed?

The pig grows slightly distressed. But, continues wallowing.

I'm not quite that desperate. What's going on here ask' the pig?

You think there is some link between the two if you don't mind me asking?

Yes, but, it attracts quite a lot of attention, by many...

What makes you say that? I've come along quite a bit, hereabouts and on the other old forum since I started engaging in philosophy for some ten even o...

Oink Oink, I've been wallowing about. How is everyone? Hope no new sad tales or things?

Well, there you said it yourself. Psychology is still in its infancy, and Freud ain't no authority on the matter of human nature.

A followup on what I like Sushi said. People tend to have dangerous ideas that go beyond the norm. Take for example Hitler and his "personal struggle"...

I like sushi too. :yum:

Oh, you naughty person. Pigs are friendly, as long as they don't eat magic mushrooms that are.

Because pigs are nice and clean. What more do you want from a pig?

Well, Kripke sidesteps the issue of imaginary names such a Santa Claus. This is a glaring point in his philosophy.

Its a philosophical attitude...

Taking a short break from philosophy.

An unmitigated mediator infuriates the super-ego and ID, no?

Buckets of warm "stuff" being dropped on me. I don't mind, though.

But, psychologizing myself. Isn't it true that if the ego is unwilling to mediate, those strange things start happening to it?

It's the truth! I plead innocence! As I told you, there was a coup a Ribbentrop-Molotow as they say between the super-ego and ID, as the ego was unwil...

The question then becomes, who in the hell made it "your" role to advise other people on how they ought to live their lives? Isn't that the paradox of...
