The cat doesn't look happy. The aristocat is interested in a boat, however.

Yes, more kitten's... Moar!

Just kittens. https://cnet1.cbsistatic.com/img/bG-rSTUa-4W_auzgVoGUb3lx4_o=/970x0/2014/07/31/9a1c1ed0-4795-4d75-a9ad-6859957e4eba/leia03.jpg

Anyone care to talk some more about kitten's?

So, it is the truth that is being suppressed here? The truth of what exactly? That he's a bigoted racist? Compartment of what? I think no cognitive di...

Not sure about that. It could be bias.

Is that even possible, is what I'm asking? Can you check to see if you're beliefs are inconsistent with reality? Am, I just talking about scientism he...

Whenever we talk about subjects the process of compartmentalization seems to take place. We cannot comprehend the totality of some subject in relation...

I don't know. Interesting questions though. Yes, how do you achieve that systematic whole without having to resort to the compartmentalization of conc...

My condolences, Tiff.

Aside from the charges that economics is a failed science, what can be said about the philosophical conception of 'rationality'. I don't think it's us...

O Lawd. Only praise for our Lawd and saviour!

Praise be upon the cat.

The cat is out of the bag. I've been uncovered. *hides*

Too cute! The cat must be rolling with those saucers like that. Haha.

Blondie kitten, OMG!

*whispers* When do we start talking about kitten's?

Yes. Disidentification is a mystery of appreciating the non temporal if I'm reading correctly.

It is what it is. Disidentify that!

Or as I like to say, whatever floats your boat.

Haha, I can see your point. But, I think I just moved on from thinking incessantly about depression and trying to disidentify with it. Instead, someth...

I understand that much. I just was positing that it's possible to be a solipsist and be ethical under the guise of enlightened self-interest.

What about enlightened self-interest? Would that qualify as something that leads to the same conclusion, although via different means?

Just an update on the whole disidentification thing. I stopped trying to disidentify with depression due to the nature of disidentification being that...

Is it? I feel as though Wittgenstein was trying to dispell the egotism of solipsism. He remarks many times about the mystical aspect of being itself a...

You win, good Sir.

Whatever floats your boat.

Yes, and people missed my birthday party in the shoutbox. How rude. More seriously, I think it's tilting at windmills at this point, so I digress.

:blush: Phanks, Bitter Crank. Meanie!

Did @"Pseudonym" leave? He's now has a 'guest' status.

Seems like nobody cares or wouldn't mind. So, Shoutbox on the front page, yes, no, maybe?

Yeah, no problem. :grimace:

:lol:

We do boast the most esteemed colleges in the world, so I wonder too how is that possible given such a dismal primary and secondary education system. ...

No, but if one had values that they held dear, such as treating women fairly, which isn't too much to ask for in our modern day civilization, then he ...

So, are we creating a better future for them with our current educational system in America? I wonder.

Thanks! I feel as though the discussion is devoid of an example. Let's take Trump's presidency and ongoing support as an example of the failure of the...

With all that said. The claim that I'm creating a straw man here may be entirely justified on how educated you are. Am I somewhat uneducated then?

They don't have opioid epidemics, their stance towards drugs is commendable, and they have less crime than the US. These are topics that most American...

Most West European and Scandinavian countries, in my mind. So, why do we not instill values in the youth? Why aren't those all important topics 'touch...

Maybe you're talking about anti-intellectualism in America? I find it hard to disagree if you adopt that terminology. I just wonder why intellectualis...

I ask myself often why we do so little in schools to promote spiritual well-being. There was nothing spiritual about going to school in my earlier yea...

I was raised in Poland, and all we had was something called "Wiedza o Spo?ecze?stwie." The literal translation is "knowledge about society." I guess I...

OK, so in the US there's something called "Family and consumer science." Go figure.

Wiki says we do teach home economics in the US. So, maybe the issue is non-relevant... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_economics#United_States

Will the US, always be behind Canada in socio-economics?

Where was this? Was this in the US? Poor bag of sugar baby...

What about character education? Or learning about homemaking or parenting. Are these things teachable? Given how important they are to the attainment ...
