I don't know. It seems like one can't say that chickens can fly like a bird. But then how else can you put the fact that chickens can flap their wings...
They say anything and everything can fly in the Carribean. One day you wake up finding a goat on the roof. Anyway, chickens in the US are too plump to...
Yeah, I've tried Abilify, Vraylar, and Latuda. I like how Zyprexa calms me down and makes me docile. Do you get akathisia from your Zyprexa? I had rea...
In regards to Trump saying that he would have been a great general with his decision to pull out American troops from Afghanistan (so that ISIS and th...
Not really. Again, you don't have anything to compare life to apart from your neighbor who always smiles every day when going to work and coming back ...
Yes, they are. But, even in the book that got me into CBT, called Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David D. Burns, the author highlights that cog...
Well, obviously we need a doomsday weapon. Just hope that everyone is rational enough to not want to die. https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/u...
Well, delusions are rather not beliefs; but, convictions that are justified and maintained through erroneous reasoning like cognitive distortions. Yes...
@"unenlightened", your input would be very much appreciated and welcome here. What are your general thoughts about delusions, paranoia, and delusions ...
Clearly, music has some appeal to animals, specifically elephants. Perhaps, a radio might be playing some opera or the blues and the elephant overhear...
Whoa Noah, that sounds pretty serious? Are you on meds? I'm on Zyprexa and am calm as a Hindu cow on it. It kind of takes away the high and elation of...
I wonder how much of music is derived from its social context. For example, everyone knows that Chopin is renowned for inducing a feeling of nostalgia...
I've been for a while now interested in the phenomenon of delusions. I recall that I had some when my psychosis first started. Some of them included b...
Interesting nuanced choice. What got you interested in it? I'm reading the Amazon description and it sounds as if one we're to take Moore's naturalist...
So, I hope we can lay down the topic of definite descriptions to rest, and simply say that under certain circumstances definite descriptions are or ca...
Perhaps I should mention that in the Judeo-Christian traditions God most often has qualities of subjecthood. I don't know many religions that ascribe ...
I think as mentioned previously, definite descriptions can be categorized under certain conditions as rigid designators. What do you or anyone else th...
It is mostly a tiring effort. Like a flat tire that needs to be constantly inflated. Anyway, idiotic analogies aside, the issue is that reason, in som...
I guess, they're two sides of the same coin. One is a more active and dominant belief that hides under the guise of inverted totalitarianism. Hard to ...
A great deal of the book is history, and reinterpreting it through a different lens. I find many of Wolin's comments as insightful and penetrating. He...
I have actually read his "Democracy Incorporated". The thing I noticed that Wolin struggles with is as if trying to describe how the water feels like ...
Do you display symptoms of paranoia? I'm apprehensive to straight out label you as a schizophrenic, as you may have a simply perceptual disorder. I ha...
We do not have to argue about feelings. It's a real possibility that the Axis powers might have won WWII. The nuances in which our reality has been sh...
Do you think philosophy progresses in a dialectical manner? I don't know what to say about philosophers who "really" get the message or anything like ...
