Thanks for posting. What I would like to politely point out is the focus on IT in this century. The people who built Google, were really awesome peopl...

So, when does socialization and individualization start and end?

Could you elaborate on this intersection of processes? I'm not sure if I understand.

I wanted to follow up on something that I thought about. Again, most of my posts are in a 'ask and tell' manner for everyone's enjoyment. I also moder...

I only had a brief bout of suicidal depression almost a decade ago. The suicidal ideations circled around laying on train tracks or buying something l...

What a way of putting it. Yet, the association that you led me to make was almost with 'vanity' and 'prestige'. Am I associating this correctly?

Seems true; but, definitely disagree that 'all heterogenous societies are chaotic.'...

No, no, no. She just sits with me and oinks and squeals. Sometimes she gets angry at me when she doesnt get a truffle or some oats with honey and corn...

It only occured to me right now, based on what you said, that the highest good for you must be appreciation and with that, axiology? Am I right on thi...

Well, supply and demand would adjust over time; but you have a point if its about inflation. Inflation would rise; but, with an adjustment (or lag as ...

Just a random question. Had someone sold the database of all posts of a forum (not this one, in my mind), would that be considered theft or public inf...

Normally in society such things don't happen very often, and if they do we have people who deal with such affairs such as police officers and the lega...

In a sense to state this in stronger terms, Universal Basic Income would in essence pacify the poor and disenfranchised.

Yes, well UBI is not socialism according to what others have said. Yet, it seems to be an economic tool that helps the disenfranchised and poor from u...

I'm not sure if you're following here; but, socialism goes quite a bit farther than just redistribution of wealth. According to what others said; it s...

Right? It's like Social Security or a safety net program; but, for everyone!

Yes, well how else are we to decide about who we are without knowledge of our ancestors and how we evolved from then until now?

Not sure, I think that throughout history or if one wants to process historicism, that homo sapiens sapiens has been able to construct certain laws th...

Yes, well if you really drill this down to the very DNA or evolutionary psychology and group behaviors, then what more can be said? Then again, much m...

Most intellectuals and academics agree on neoliberalism causing inequality. So, if UBI doesn't address this aspect of neoliberalism, then what socioec...

But, specifically, what about natural laws? Maybe they can be derived from some ethical consideration of the good...

I won't list all the tidbits of how vested interests can make money from UBI; but I can give a hint... Namely the very nature of banking can allow tre...

Do you know Pumba just was hungry and wanted to eat?

Sorry if anyone wanted me to address their posts individually; but, as some may understand, I usually start threads in an "ask and tell" manner. Regar...

Yet, take the example of good being defined, not by an individual; but, by the very values people or groups enshrine into laws. How do values get inoc...

Then the only rational response would be quietism?

So, God is certain of everything He does?

Go ahead and ask YHWH since when has killing solved anything?

The thing about good and evil, is that the plebs have no idea what or how they emanate. The people who have experienced good or evil really know how t...

Pigs are just as evil as locusts are by the same token. Go ahead and kill all the locusts.

Thanks, unenlightened. My only sadness is very great over the issue of how our appetite seems to cause unenlightenment towards pain and suffering of t...

Nothing about that bothers me. I hope to see more actual philosophers speaking up more (the ones with actual degrees).

So, T-Clark advocates speaking American? Hmm... Do any of you Americans call French Fries as Freedom Fries?

I read a lot of the Tractatus Logico Philosophicus so I shouldn't bother; yet, at every step of the way one would have to avoid the valence of sufferi...
