OK, so to phrase it another way. What constitutes an "adult" in your opinion?

What is it about a society that engenders a prescriptive ethics (if you will) of what a functioning atomic unit of a personae constitutes an individua...

So, why is such a conception of human nature distilled into a simple matter of self-reliance? Can, I invoke the concept of "society" here without dure...

So, let's analyze that for the predominantly normative equilibrium of Westerners on this forum?

What does that mean?

Preparation for what? Efficiently?

Faith, does require that.

I see. Now, I am enlightened.

So, to talk about counterfactuals, we have definite descriptions that we can stipulate about over and over, Nixon is Nixon and Banno had cornflakes th...

I think we should adopt the term here from henceforth to dispell he metaphysically of what @"creativesoul" has been wallowing about/'Over.

Hey, @"Banno", what does Kripke have to say about "counterfactuals"?

Oh, okay. Sorry for the confusion.

I meant the default layout of the site, was voted on to remain as the way things are. When we voted on the issue it was about making the site categori...

Well, based on what has already been said and voted on, we reached a consensus that the forums shouldn't be categorized, although that feature is avai...

Impeachment will not prevail, as long as the economy is having such a huge rally. It's just a matter of finding the right candidate for the next perso...

I think this is spot on the dial. I agree that we should be more welcoming to various folk of all traditions. Since this site is composed of the major...

Shit is real. Now time to take my meds.

Whatever floats your boat.

Parade away!

That's the inner failed Stoic, turned Cynic for you.

Keep in behind closed doors, if you will...

I still don't get your love-hate relationship with our fellow Hanover. Boggles my mind. You two should find a room and parade away there.

Glad you are. That was the intent anyways.

Monkeys typing away, one day hoping to write the entirety of Hamlet could have done the same if not better.

I wish I did! Maybe someone could persuade @"Paul" to open source that database. He still has it. I doubt Porat or whoever was the accomplice on killi...

It's mostly undirected and haphazardous. Basically, disorganized.

How so?

I'll leave it at that then. I wonder what Banno thinks or if his views have changed since the old PF.

What's your take on willpower? You seem to have an abundance of it.

But, @"Banno" thinks the sentence in question has something to tell us about how we use language.

Someone depressed, anxious or what have you?

So, it's trifle irrelevancy? I hold the view that the sentence in mind has import towards the philosophy of language.

Then if we could start with a clean slate, how would you have commented on the superficial problem that that sentence poses in your view?

How do you overcome the perception that a person has an inadequacy or failure towards better mental health?

But, what if one is unable to take care of themselves? Doesn't this complicate the issue?

But, if the sentence, "I love you more than words can say." is self-referential although indirectly, then it's a philosophical issue, no?

So, your take is that responsibility is the issue here?

@"unenlightened", may I ask for your input on the matter?

Oh dear, well thanks for replying. How would you explain the way we learn 'helplessness'? What's your theory?

Well, I'm under the impression that the meaning in "I love you more than words can say." is extra-syntactic. The map is not the territory; but, I've a...

They exist in a Meinongian jungle! :grin:

Sorry to hear. Hope you might change your mind. The book is definitely enlightening.

How does that alter its meaning?

But, we're talking about emotions and intent. Is this another case of having a huge giant beetle in a box, and saying that it is so awesome to have?

I don't know where to begin! I'll wait patiently on when others have had time to address the paper.

Yes.

Because intentionality is the referent for meaning to obtain?

According to what I've read, yes. Most certainly.

Here's a useful commentary.
