Says me the wallower in chief.

My ego is non-existent. It has been eaten by my ID or super-ego, as the two were tired of its impotence.

Sexual innuendos aside I slept well and wallowed contently in my bed. It was a healthy wallow, to say the least.

Then, what's the difference between a good lawyer and a philosopher if I may phrase the question in such a manner?

So, intent can be discerned. I never said it can't; though it is quite hard on online forums as I described.

Hmm, I suppose some melatonin or warm milk might help. It's 11 here, so I'm just wallowing until I fall asleep.

God's feet! I'll have to read that tomorrow.

Humor.

Remember that even a Stoic like Chrysippus died from laughter by seeing a donkey eating figs. Humour is a good remedy for everything mundane and borin...

Same person. Hope he is fine.

Right. And, respect too. Negative and toxic people. Yup, that's the (perceived) population of the internet. Well, it depends on where you spend your t...

Oh, Eeyore. My dear companion and friend. As well as neurotic and anxious Piglet. Yes, I hear you. *Said in Piglet's voice*

Yeah, rhetoric, and all that jazz. That's all true; but, we're at square one. Meaning, that some appeal to authority is required, which in my opinion ...

Oh dear. I'm just a pig, so what do I know? *Goes back to eating some mushrooms*

I mean, you'd think that most men were violent criminals in Australia or that the police are all eating donuts and stuff and sleeping on the job to le...

This is hard to fathom. I mean, if we were just talking in formal languages, then your statement and the rest would follow. But, having spent time her...

How about some healthy wallowing? Yes, I am becoming evangelical. Just turn off the TV. I haven't watched TV in a long time. Yes, that can be true. Wh...

So, is it violent criminals we're stereotyping or the vast majority of Australian men. This thread is going to blow up...

China is an awesome place. If I ever get out of poverty it's pretty high on my bucket list of places to visit or dare I say live there. I make spare c...

Well, I'm just concerned. I hope the best for S.

I am a pig. We pigs wallow to cool off and clean ourselves from pests. Therefore I see no point in criticizing our healthy habits and practices.

A delicacy!

Wallowing ensues.

Hmm, that sure is a theme that gets recycled around here a lot. Sorry you feel that way. :worry:

Pissing contest?

Must I remind you that this thread isn't exclusively about you, despite your frantic attempts to make it about yourself? Sheesh. Give me a break @"S".

How does that make you feel if I am so bold in asking?

From the intro: Ludwig Wittgenstein occupies a unique place in twentieth-century philosophy and he is for that reason difficult to subsume under the u...

Thanks!

I've read PMS Hacker, and some others. The book I linked is very critical and technical, unlike others I've come across. What book would you recommend...

Come and join us in the On Psychologizing thread. I think you may like it.

I'm thinking of buying this book, let me know what you think about it: https://www.amazon.com/Wittgensteins-Tractatus-Critical-Exposition-Thought/dp/0...

A delicacy I say, a delicacy!

Something about that stinks of male chauvinism. Don't you think?

Nah, I'm a content and mellow wallower. Der bee nou evail phrom mee.

I don't know to raise awareness perhaps?

No, I talk to myself because I'm a solipsist. You are a figment of my imagination.

But, if we are being Socratic, then there's little that either of us knows. So, spare the psychologizing, which never was conducive towards the truth.

Wallowing is a safe and healthy practice. It helps the soul. :) And it's safe to say I don't even get myself either. I don't think I have an ego.

So, you have stated that you find satisfaction in pointing out other people's lack of "resilience". Doesn't that make you some pseudo internet bully?

But, I might find something interesting? Like gold instead of a dead corpse on the death zone or littered bottles of oxygen. Hehe.

What's your point here? That I'm neurotic? Hah so be it, spare me the panderings.

And, you're the one to say that? Puh-leeze.

Yes, it is a paradox. One I don't know how to surmount.

Yeah, and good for them to be snowflakes. As I always say, whatever floats your boat. And, please don't rock my boat too.

Quite so. And given this is an online forum, then aren't such attempts quite futile even if done sincerely?

And here you highlight the problem. When is one right about one's ideas about the other person? Surely, someone might take offence to it.

Lol, I am not here to silence anyone. Do as thy please.

This is distorted. Just because psychology is a child of philosophy that does not grant authority by or from a philosopher to expound beliefs or asses...
