What your really asking is how to relate to people who haven't genuinely suffered? Because to talk about suffering one has to experience it to concept...

If they due interfere with due process, things won't end well. Anyway, Mueller isn't the only investigational committee and if he does get shut down o...

Well, Mueller won't let him bullshit out of this situation. There's no way he could pull off a fake news or "I don't remember" card here.

Well, the links between the Russian intelligence and other structures of power in the post Soviet, now Russian Federation, are more credible given thi...

Well, this is just batshit: From the article above.

@"Wayfarer", and others interested. Use this website to bypass paywalls: https://outline.com/ Insert the URL of paywalled article.

There's a workaround if you use Chrome or Firefox, if interested PM me.

Christ someone take a look at this: https://www.ft.com/trumptoronto

And we still haven't touched the realm of nonsense. Ehh...

I think it's about which view is closest to reality. The second link I provided talks about homomorphic and isomorphic states of affairs or realities....

The forum is flourishing.

I think that can't be true because reality obtains from atomic facts and the various possibilities they can configure in to give rise to states of aff...

Just think of it as an observer that obtains a specific reality from what they observe, the world. Yeah, it's getting mystical and solipsistic here. A...

I believe the answer is presented in the above quote from the website you referenced. I see now that I'm going to have to delve into Stenius' interpre...

It sounds like a trite truism; but, it's undeniably true.

I highly recommend the following to read. Let me know what you think about it @"Srap Tasmaner". Thanks. http://www.autodidactproject.org/other/wolniew...

:halo:

Any input from you, Srap, welcome. If you think it's not worth doing, let me know and we can brush this aside.

@"Srap Tasmaner", before we move on, I feel as though it's important that we still need to cover one important topic to understand the importance of t...

*Runs around naked* Logical space! Everything is in logical space!

No, I agree with pretty much everything in the OP. I just am unsure about the root Schopenhauers will in all this? Is this a natural state of affairs,...

As a aspiring stoic who really is just a cynic, I think by default I digress from continental or postmodern philosophy. Yeah, I'm missing out on a lot...

Awesome, some Wittgenstien in there... I like the self referential feature of doubt being exposed there.

I'm going to meditate over those deep insights. I appreciate you sharing them. By chance do you still run that blog of yours? I would gladly follow yo...

Lol, something to watch in my free time I think. Thanks.

Indeed, Quo vadis. Maybe a turn to religion and mysticism?

The shortest path through a mountain is tunneling through it...

Then let's wait and see what @"Marcus de Brun" has to further state. Don't you see a glimmer of genius in stating that it is the very nature of fulfil...

I stand by what I have stated.

Where is all of this headed, Ciceronianus? I almost feel despairingly sad at the current status of The Republic.

Sex used to be a private activity between two partners, and it should stay that way for the sake of intimacy and not trivializing the activity into Ob...

Because it leads to less suffering, anguish and pain.

I'm not talking about sex. But since you raised the issue, male virgins are viewed as queers, even moreso than homosexuals, why is that? Can't a man e...

This:

Well you seem to be making an equivalent status of these parades, ceremonies, and habitual rituals with what is actual and normal. Is that not a type ...

So you want me to specify what's wrong with it? Your assumption that it is wrong is what I wonder. Yet you failed to address my only question in the p...

The point I was getting at is whether we can think collectively instead of this artificial role playing game we are brought up to participate in and i...

What would @"Ciceronianus the White" say, I wonder... Perhaps he might know an answer to this troubling question.

Viva la Revolution! Oh wait, that won't happen in America, will it?

You haven't even addressed the thread...?

Quo vadis?

Yes, indeed, do they? Or into the future? Spartacus, the poor soul. Quo vadis?

So, then it isn't all about Trump after all. Now what? What a tragedy.

:ok:

Not *meh* from me. Just more of a cynical fart from me. What can I do, I'm not gonna get depressed over evil scummy shit like that.

I stand corrected. Boy o boy what a thing to say.

It's not the same, even Madeleine Albright wouldn't go that far.

You say that as if that were an argument, but it ain't one.

Not sure what you mean, but I digress.
