This was hard for me to conclude... Is a good pig... bacon?

Seemingly, as you are the only person who addressed the OP's sentiments about Soviet styled central managers, then I just wanted to say, that the impo...

Here's me laughing hard about the right that thinks the Department of Justice is a political toy that the left uses whenever they feel like it. I mean...

Yes, it seems that the Greek concept of the polis, seemed to prevail over what community Plato had put forward. Yes, again. I believe that Marx had to...

In history, according to Hegel's dialectics?
June 10, 2024 at 02:13
The context or stipulation to the term you provided doesn't seem to be addressed by what was meant by Thrasymachus. Justice is a concept made-up by no...

Very interesting. What about Marxism? Seems to follow into Marxist logic?

I wonder what Hegel or Hegelians would say...

To have a fate seems to imply that there is a possibility in one's future to live out. Otherwise, if it were all deterministic, then your fate would a...

It seems that the notion of 'fate' cannot exist without the need for an actual possibility in the future chain of events.

Having looked and searched several topics about philosophers (most notably, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger), it seems that it means a lot to a...

Watch, Kuran's, Trinity and Beyond while you are at it. It's a movie for atomic playboys. :wink:
June 07, 2024 at 01:19
Yeah, Cillian Murphy does a pretty good job. The score in the movie is pretty impressive and the best part of it.

Yes, if the modeling, which logical positivists were interested in, is about a true state of affairs (facts), then how can they account for complex re...

Since the whole dilemma is so pretentious, and morally devoid of agency, then I think the twist of sacrificing yourself instead of another person, no ...

Here's a twist to the dilemma. Sacrifice yourself to save 5 other people instead of another person.

Thank you for the detailed information, @"013zen". I want to talk about the mechanist, picture theory of meaning. There is nothing wrong with it in my...

The Italians might be putting something in the pizza. It's really disturbing stuff. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzagate_conspiracy_theory

Only QAnon would agree with you.

He might just be invigilating about those sad; but happy inside, pigs. Who knows?

Since we are talking about training and pigs, here's a pig exiting a train. Pigs have their ways, you know? https://i.imgur.com/vohaEgs.jpeg
June 02, 2024 at 00:57
Yes, this is an unspoken truth. I believe in it very highly. By having a pig train you, you become more happy. Pigs are by nature happy animals, and t...

You can't demand too much from the pig. It's kind of obese, and is only concerned about one thing, namely consumption. See: https://i.imgur.com/n1nsNW...

Yes, Thrasymachus was a sophist; but, a very astute one in what he regarded justice to be. It seems to me that Thrasymachus, with respect to what hist...
June 01, 2024 at 00:23
Well, I was only asking about your opinion about whether you think Plato was not accounting for the needs of the individual in Plato's Republic.
May 31, 2024 at 20:08
Plato leaves little room for individualism, as this aspect of behavior is determined by the classes governing Plato's Republic. Do you think this is t...
May 31, 2024 at 20:01
All things considered, I view Thrasymachus' sentiments as a negative. Mostly due to the fact that I don't support his insistence on challenging the po...
May 31, 2024 at 19:48
Interesting way to put it. Plato really couldn't fit into his picture Thrasymachus' portrayed psychopathy or sociopathy that pervades humanity instead...

That's not the point I am attempting to make. Let me clarify, with the sentiments of Thrasymachus, all the way back to Ancient Greece, which Socrates ...

I believe you are right about this, but, can you clarify the litigiousness of which societies?

Or the law? Well if its the law that gets into the way of good moral conduct, then at least it prevents as its primary goal, the reduction of corrupti...

Somebody really botched those wrists in that image. Sure, I mean, nothing serious but it seems like a wrist cutter giving a thumbs up.
