I am quite happy. Happy as a pig so to speak. Haven't felt this good in a while to be honest. I had my doubts, but I honestly feel like I had a spirit...

As you wish.

*stares into the abyss*

Coming from you that sounds scary.

You guys have a strange power structure here. I'll just leave it at that... Back to quietism again.

I can't. I wen't full retard and feel really strained emotionally and intellectually. Just taking "philosophy" too seriously. I put myself in Wittgens...

Take care guys it's been fun.

All made possible by @"unenlightened"... *Thinks if that was wise to say...* *Thinks harder...* *F-k it.*

I'm at my limit. I hope I can hand off the baton to someone else. One thing before I go is that the objective/subjective trap is irrelevant to the iss...

I'm sorry TimeLine but I'm afraid the ad hominems aren't going to work.

Yes you raise an important issue perhaps the overarching issue this thread is trying to present. Namely, that there is no incentive to test your own t...

It was just a show of gratitude for maintaining the place. I just hope you can spot any ad hominems and other logical fallacies or personal attacks or...

*pig dies from a heart attack*

No, it was a facade. But, you get the point don't you? This is a special place.

Yeah, after a while I just got used to the beatings my father did to me physically and psychologically. Got ya.

In case anyone doesn't only want to bash prejudices about what the 'ego' or 'man' is all about, or how he ought to act, there's this topic I started a...

Because humans are sexually dimorphic, and exhibit extremely plastic social behavior. But, I get the feeling that the sentiment of others on this foru...

In light of the recent shitshow that I started about whether I was being too sensitive about jokes being made about sex in the shoutbox, I wanted to r...

So, I'm just going to go on a limb here and say that expressing masculinity is an issue for me here. Or do I just don't care at that pissing contest?

Nah, it's not that. Not feeling depressed or anything really. Just some kinda realization, that I can't put into words yet. I guess my lack of identif...

*wallows*

I have nothing to fight over here. My ego isn't hurt or anything since I don't identify with it.

Hey, as long as I'm not the one being fucked over.

OK, so since it's been brought up. I started the animal jokes as a means to foster companionship and openness. Since, some people found it 'immature' ...

en gustibus non est disputandum?

I mean, even in Speakers Corner of Hyde Park it's requested that nobody insult the queen.

Yeah, yeah. We do it because we can. And, the fact that other members have requested in this thread and in the Shoutbox that you refrain from such jok...

Nah, man he's mentally bulletproof. Sagelike qualities.

Sup broseph... Missed ya.

I wonder what @"unenlightened" has to say about this, as he was a seasoned tripper. I bet he still trips sometimes when everyone is not watching. :lol...

I couldn't handle the experience. In some ways it was an inverted experience for me. Namely, that stability and sanity became more important for me. I...

Haha. Do you guys still take the Hippocratic Oath in Germany, I assume?

Thanks Doctor.

I'm just going to leave it to you guys to consider whether doubt is possible given the epistemological certainty presented in a solipsistic world.

That's a misconstrue of the situation. The point was that immorality and indecent talk was being encouraged, for the sake of one-upmanship and some id...

Not had you eternally been in a dream, and had no sense of doubt due to everything in the world being the same as your level of knowledge about it.

Ok, I'll repost what I already said on the issue in epistemological terms with a dreaming analogy representing 'solipsism': If we inhabit a dream, for...

Yes, but those limits can only be apparent to a person who can doubt or have a lack in knowledge. Therefore your hands are real, and the evil demon is...

But, that's cheating. For that removes any chance of certainty, but since knowledge is possible, then that excludes the possibility of that assertion.

Yes, I'm quite certain that you cannot doubt in a solipsistic world since you are only aware of what you can know and there is no room for not knowing...

The point is that epistemologically, you wouldn't even be able to entertain that thought in a solipsistic world, where everything is certain and there...

Yes; but, I cannot doubt the fact that I am doubting. Therefore, if we take the evil demon path of assuming that everything can be doubted and nothing...

Well, not quite. Because since the world and the self are the same thing in solipsism, then there can be no room for doubting the world since the self...

So, let me elaborate at the chance of sounding nonsensical. Doubt can only exist when there is lack of certainty. Solipsism is a certain belief. There...

Hi @"Fafner", just wanted to say that it's awesome to see you. Have you considered epistemological solipsism as a solution to the problem of asertaini...

I invite everyone to Robinson's island where peace is the everlasting goal. Bring your favorite pet! We have food and some non-alcoholic root beer for...

Sleep tight.

Oh, puh-leeze don't flip the issue and say that your doing this because of us. Make your silly jokes that are in reality deeply demeaning to women and...

Admit it, you too enjoy the dirty jokes and don't want Hanover to stop. Ive seen you two playing one upmanship on that front to no end. Why is that?
