I'd take Nixon over Trump, any day.

actually, nevermind I'm still pondering while my stay in Poland as to why I haven't been to at least one Woodstock.

Going to have to go to court on the 16'th to support my mom against my dad. Haven't been this stressed over what to say and how to make her case stron...

However, the job market has evolved over time to increase the required skills a person needs to be able to get a "living wage". So, there's that issue...

Brilliant insight and explanation. But, one has to understand that it wouldn't be an issue if tuition was so high. So, how does one lower tuition is t...

Let's hope trickle down will eventually work to raise all floundering boats. Here's me hoping.

Regarding marijuana, There's been a strong tendency from the government to prevent the use of marijuana. I don't entirely know how to put this; but, m...

Yes, to some extent. Though you're really hyping up the argument by a stretch, methinks.

Because 0.1% own what 90% make through their toil. But, that's taboo to talk about, right?

I'm sorry to have made the claim implicitly or explicitly without knowing all the details. My bad, man. :(

So, you do post under the influence! I knew it, lol.

I can't find the relevant papers by Aldous Huxley; but, his brother, Julian Huxley (who was instrumental in founding the United Nations), often talked...

Yeah, a lot of socio-cultural brainwashing ehem 'conditioning', has been going on since WWII.

Tell them, Fick dich, du Arschloch! *Continues wallowing* Even the Nazis, which exploited meth in pills called 'Pervitin', found out that it wasn't wo...

Here's what I had to say about drugs in another thread, a rather prominent issue although not discussed here as often as it should be, in my humble op...

Oh, then you must take this new drug for ADHD, here ya go. That'll be a hundred Canadian dollars, please. *Wallows profusely.*

Yeah, I wish! Read my latest thread, On 'drugs', if you would like to know otherwise.

Some people just have a better-developed prefrontal cortex. Continues wallowing...

*Wallows in joy.*

I just think the Cynics got it right. One ought not wallowing, but it is a harmless thing. What's the big deal anyways. Can't stand the pretentiousnes...

There is truth in the art of wallowing. Just realize that most philosophers are quite literally mad and wallowing becomes an art.

It's fine as long as it's an aesthetic form of wallowing. Ask a Cynic.

*Wallows shamelessly*

*Continues wallowing*

*wallows some more*

I was actually not being two faced when I was happy the Popo did that.

Dad just got served a restraining order. Thanks Mr popo.

Well, I just edited that post to include Godelian unprovable truths that can exist in such a 'logical space' of sorts. I'm not entirely sure they exis...

Yes, I understand that much. But, having objects that can only exist in infinite Hilbert space isn't a mystery to you? Like, say, the very unprovable ...

I think this is the gist of what separates the greatly endowed from the rest of the population. Knowing some deep and undiscovered truth about 'the ma...

So, Hilbert was right, just not as we have come to understand it or are even able to within our current framework... It seems intuitively obvious if y...

Yes, but, my understanding is that a theorem that can't be proved within a system can be proved by a meta-system as mentioned. So, can this process go...

Is there a transcendental-logical or arithmetic system that could account for everything or is this just stating the set of all sets that is also a se...

*Burps quietly*

Kevin's a human too!

Yeah, and supposedly a rising tide lifts all boats except the poor and middle class in America.

Yes, that all may be true; but, I have adjusted to my current state of affairs. Contrary to what you are saying, instead of fighting with my current l...

Thanks for keeping it real. I don't think I'll be returning to academia anytime soon. God, but the desire is still there. Perhaps this whole thread is...

Yeah; but, there's pressure on those people to commit to their major and follow through with it regardless of what they feel about it. That pressure (...

If anyone is interested I cross-referenced this thread on another forum. Wonder what members here think about the replies. https://www.physicsforums.c...

Wallows stubbornly.

Well, the simplest and most elegant example I can provide to you is of the Cynics. They disregarded almost off of the things you have mentioned in you...

I'm not going to address your whole post because there are limitations to what can be said in words. However, I can say that none of this bothers me f...

Batshit poor and no food in the fridge. I just want some McDonalds.

Then what do you suggest we do about them? The only thing that comes to my mind is to count on others who have felt lost or felt angst and found what ...

Shit happens.

I can't argue over anxiety, it is rather a difficult emotion to deal with. But, I fail to see how this forum and depression can have anything in commo...

There's nothing inherently wrong with being depressed? If we can agree on that, then what's the point of pointing it out? Some people just like to wal...
