Meh

You know, giving up on all those things ain't all that bad. Wallow wallow. Nuh huh. If you kick and beat her then she deserves better. I'm glad Oksa i...

Well, the Cynics proposed that we do away with ALL wealth and comfort and expose ourselves to voluntary discomfort. Do you think they were actually ha...

I agree with most of what you said, I just don't think that the field is level, already. But, I don't agree with the false analogy of there being peop...

Ultimately if one wants that kind of slave life, then so be it. I found a shortcut, and am content and happy despite my depression or in spite of it. ...

I wen't on retirement (disability) at the age of 25. Beat that. Oksa is a nice cat.

What was her name?

You know, I've seen things in therapy that indicate that dominance is intrinsically tied to ego-dom. I shit on that idea because I think it is dangero...

I wallow contently. And, who cares about dominance. My cat is more dominant than me. How is your cat doing?

That's what you want to think; but, if it brings you satisfaction to your ego, then so be it. It may or may have been about you. And, it was far from ...

Since you made this thread about yourself, I had no alternative.

And if you like solving puzzles, then solve a puzzle. Don't make people conform to your preconceptions. Phew, now time to pop a Xanax.

See and this is where psychologizing ends. Resentment, sulkiness, and grudge-bearing. I think you should be aware of that.

Off I go to wallow now. Wallow wallow.

Now, I've been on the internets for a while now, and criticizing a person attempt at aiming at the truth, is like gasoline on a fire. I wish you well.

Let's not get paranoid or needlessly hostile here. This thread wasn't all about you.

Maybe not; but, you've supplanted your psychologizing efforts and deemed them worthy of "the truth". Isn't that some derivative of dogmatic thinking o...

See, just another attempt at psychologizing me, now. Now, I might be psychologizing too; but, you seem to derive some satisfaction from pushing people...

Yeah, that needs deflating. @"unenlightened" would jump out of his socks over this "assessment". I mean if you're going to take a conflict resolution ...

And here I have to say that Wittgenstein was motivated by personal issues or perhaps even perceived shortcomings. I haven't read his biography; but, i...

Yeah, I have littered the front page somewhat. Though, can you give me a generic template to work on for example? I work best by copying what has been...

Trying to up my game here. Any feedback welcome.

Well, as you have said yourself, these are psychological problems that philosophy is ill-equipped with in dealing with. I used to be very concerned ab...

All good. I'm slow with jokes anyway. Wallow wallow.

Yeah, I'm just digging away. Why do you need a remote?

But I prefer to go through the mountain rather than over it contrary to what K says about climbing it. It's the shortest pathway to overcome.

Do you know the way?

So, Wittgenstein was in contradiction. To borrow a term from Harry Frankfurt, was there a higher order volition (non egotistical) to dissuade others f...

This doesn't really help. I mean, as a juxtaposition think about the fine line between the Stoic school of thought and Cynicism. Is the confusion clea...

As they say, whatever floats yer boat. I yam what I yam and that's all there is to me.

No, the rights of the fly have been infringed by an overzealous individual. These are grounds for the fly to sue Wittgenstein.

Yes, he came and the poor fly was evicted from its familiar abode. Poor fly.

The fly is content. It doesn't need any shooing or showing or shewing.

Yet, here we are metalogically talking about the merits or detriments of philosophy. Quite a conundrum.

No, it is not unimportant. Maybe impotent?

Well, I phrased it deceptively. Life is one thing, the other part is living it.

Certainly a confusing experience. I feel sorry for the bloke. But, then again philosophy is no authority on living life.

When the patient has achieved remission?

Are they any good at their job?

Hmm, what do you mean by that? It's not quite clear to me. I miss being in the bottle. There is certainty in the struggle of the fly trying to get out...

But, today is Sunday. I feel sorry for teachers. I still consider it a noble profession. Ahh, they'd go on well without anyone teaching them also.

Not really. It seems like anything can be called sophistry nowadays.

Do you really believe that or is this bullshitting in practice?

Sophistry. Hmm. What is it?

It was spontaneous. Like enlightenment, ya 'know?

And, I'm Sir Wallows.

But, philosophers are motivated by claiming to know the 'truth' where there might not be anything worth going over. Basically, if a philosopher has no...

Ahh yes, once again these saying of the unexamined life is not worth living pop into my mind. How pointless and futile to try and engage some bystande...

There is a tale, I can't find the source and my memory is finicky, that a student of Wittgenstein abandoned his doctoral thesis in philosophy and left...

I am Sir Wallows.
