It doesn't because truth becomes redundant with utility and use. If anything it draws a distinction between meaning derived from social-cultural use a...

Sounds good. Let me know how I can get or adopt said tumor.

Maybe your point is that suffering gives rise to the impetus to meaning in a Buddhist sense? Is that correct?

Meaning is an observer dependent concept. No observer, no meaning to get all quantum on you. But, is it necessary?

Yes, but that is almost making it sounds like a tautology. He makes the metaphysical claim that everything has to mean and thus makes meaning redundan...

Haven't you felt a sense of confusion or apathy due to the ever changing aspect of meaning? I'll go on a limb and assert that half of philosophy is th...

It seems to me, that meaning has two aspects that are hard to reconcile without resorting to 'compassion' or 'empathy'. There is a strong subjective c...

Let me be blunt. Have you ever seen an unhappy fat cat? I mean the poor creature is already neutered, at least let it enjoy some food, even if in exce...

The cat will be happier when I feed it in excess. She will be happy and fat.

That went dark pretty fast. The cat is running around bored and feeling wild.

Have been feeding it a lot. Just want it to get really fat.

I got a cat. Needless to say the cat needs to get fatter.

I also think, there's too much emphasis on college level education and not enough on technical schools that you see in Europe. Nowadays because of tha...

I wouldn't blame anyone. You're competing with the brightest minds from other countries in public schools in many cases. Also, idolizing how awesome a...

I think motivation is another wayof saying that either one desires a change in circumstances expedient of what one experiences or a persistence to a g...

Using yourself as the measuring stick is no great feat and is a sign of ineptitude.

There's this thing that bothers me that people don't readily see. Namely, the difference to proving to one's self (as that seems to be the only thing ...

He was also quite anally retentive.

The assertion made is somewhat a tautology, and what about the redundancy theory of truth of things just is?

Kool-Aid here. Have some Kool-Aid.

Just saw 2001 for the N'th time. Always a treat.

How is the weather nowadays?

What do you want?

Who are you?

Sure thing, send some crop circle pic's also.

Are you in Germany? How's the beer there? Octoberfest coming up soon, send some pics!

Butt'se-Fartlaugh. Happy farts and happy dayz.

Meister Eggfart would know! Put off a ninja fart and then watch the awkwardness ensue. Oh, the lol's!

So, I went to a Buddhist temple today and had a great time. I always loved having Asians as company and this was no different. I think they've had a l...

This seems to be an individual problem that people (from the West) seem to face. I would imagine people living in a centrally planned economy run by A...

Thoughts? Seems like flat-landers are nowadays everywhere or people just trolling?

Yes, it is me Posty McPostface. Formerly known as Question.

I wish China could just take over North Korea and turn the country from a 3'rd world into the modern era. Or just make it a province of China. Problem...

What's my tab for all the advice you've given me? It must be high as hell by now, heh. :-|

It's somewhat phallic in representation; but, what isn't?

Having China as your next door neighbor also has its perks.

Clearly, there's been a failure in foreign policy towards North Korea for letting them get this far. What would anyone attribute this failure to?

From what I gather, to maintain power and survival of his regime. The US is the devil incarnate for North Koreans. So, any rhetoric in regards to the ...

It seems to me that there is no doubt in my mind that NK has acquired technology from external sources as to how to build an ICBM that can carry a nuk...

I'm just going to distill what has been already mentioned by apokrisis. Namely, that there is a myth that the unconscious has a will of its own. This ...

Done.

I live to dream. I treat my dreams with a sort of reverence because they are self-generated and I'm a neurotic mess for the matter that has to analyze...

Are there any other submissions for my avatar? I'm leaning towards Sir2u's nomination. May the best submission win!

Pick a suitable picture. I might change it.

I choose little Thomas the tank engine. I think it's good? Thoughts? http://orig10.deviantart.net/e3c1/f/2013/107/2/1/thomas__o_face_aka_the_face_of_e...
