The Reasons of Love, Harry G. Frankfurt Frankfurt is one of my favorite philosophers as of recent. He presents a compelling case for treating love and...

This is the crux. How can a standard be established in the realm of psychology? That would seem contradictory to the goal of the profession itself.

Why would medical conditions be called "disorders" as if to stigmatise the issue?
March 23, 2017 at 04:14
Why in the hell is PTS called PTSD?
March 22, 2017 at 19:40
As I understand it THC and CBD has a multitude of roles in PTS. THC wipes away your dreams if you smoke it before bed at night. Thus, no bad dreams an...

Plato would say they need to learn more mathematics and tangent lines along with sinusoidal and cosinusoidal waves, asymptotic behavior, convergence, ...

It's not that scary. I mean, homeostasis always wins in the end. Anyway, I don't really suffer from anxiety. I would say I suffer from a lack of healt...

Hey, just let me know if something is too sensitive to be put out there and I'll shut up. But, really. The sex threads need to calm down a little. Ok,...

I can't say that it would take away your short term memory loss. I mean, if you already smoke herb, then the CBD will counter the detrimental efffects...

Well, typically, you don't get leaves that size unless it's some mutant plant. It's possible; but, only from some really heavy indicia or something. C...

Planning to grow some herb with high levels of CBD in it for therapeutic effects and less psychoactivity. Rather chill to something healthy that's neu...

But, I've wallowed too long. And besides, I am well grounded. I work with plants and feed them and water them and they bring me joy. One of my most ro...
March 18, 2017 at 11:54
Oh, I do realize that. It also applies to my thread as well. I don't intend to post about such matters anymore as it is really a laughable matter to w...
March 18, 2017 at 04:19
I have come to the realization that talk about sex and orgasms and such ought to be not so open around here. This is a sentiment I carry over from PF ...

One word or name. Wittgenstein. Russell pretty much preempted what you quoted and saw the genius of philosophy in Wittgenstein. So-much-so that he had...

Well, you can use the HDI to always make some comparison. And if homogeneity is really a problem, then take a basket of EU countries prior 2004 to mak...

Well, I am a Polish citizen, so that makes me able to live in any EU country (except the UK?) after establishing residency, which itself is supposedly...
March 16, 2017 at 18:20
This saddens me when I read this. I mean the EU is one of the greatest achievements ever achieved in the recent history of placing cooperation above i...
March 16, 2017 at 16:59
I do have to say that the content, and to a lesser, though significant extent quality (due to pretty much having the same members from PF be here also...

I laugh at people who think that Russia can have some influence over the US by favoring one candidate over the other. Puh-leeze, maybe in Ukraine or B...

Freedom ain't free. That entails civil liberties as well. Hell, you had the director of the FBI coming out today and saying that there's no such thing...

Nobody mentioned this but firemen are socialists. I mean common, Hanover.
March 08, 2017 at 20:34
There are no winners here. We're all the same Hanover.
March 08, 2017 at 16:16
Yeah; but, it's been going on for/since the start of the cold war. It's been pretty good so far?
March 08, 2017 at 02:05
Give up on what exactly? I never trusted the government, but I'm a nobody and never will be. Besides, there's so much information out there, that ther...

If it's for the sake of national security, and always will be, then there will always be ways around civil rights, even more so post-Patriot Act.
March 08, 2017 at 01:52
So, what's your point here? I mean, it's kind of obvious. The only safe place is cyberspace or a house in the middle of nowhere; but, even using TOR a...

Ask Postmodern Beatnik, he's a Bebop fan, and as far as I know every adult who has seen it is. Where is Postmodern anyway? Probably busy with work?

There's something fundamentally wrong in resorting to having someone put you in a state where you're incapable of doing anything yourself and having t...

I bet the most common thing a psychologist or psychiatrist hears is not "I feel/am depressed"; but, rather, "I don't know what to do." And the cycle b...

Uhh, I think that was the whole point? Let's find some other story to tell other than having an enemy that needs to be defeated. Mark my words you'll ...

I've become wary of psychology that turns to the "roots" of the issue, a la Freud and such. As if one were conscious of an ideal self and can adjust o...

I never really judged animes, as the story is more important. So, far most of the arks have been fantastic. The Zamasu one was a real treat. Besides, ...

So, who else thinks Goku and the rest of the universes revolt against the angels? It's kind of obvious at this point.
March 07, 2017 at 07:34
I'm loving the Dragon Ball Super series, just because it's Goku after all. Anyway, waiting for Samurai Jack the new season.
March 07, 2017 at 07:20
No, but one should be happy about being happy.
March 04, 2017 at 14:39
Ahh, but that's all biological. Just take some lithium!

Needs more medication. Give me some Ritalin because that itch is killing me.
March 04, 2017 at 14:36
I like the fact that they do their job well and you often end up satisfied in the long term with their work. There's no pain nowadays to be felt, just...

It's really a matter of economics. Once solar is below the parity level of coal oil and gas, then you will see inevitable economic forces making decis...

Hah, I get the point. American exceptionalism at its best. Seems like the solution will have to be found from the same source of the problem, capitali...

The issue seems to be of what one values and does not. If one is not the same as me, then he is different and not worth talking to because I like hear...

My dad taught me about Platonism at a young age. I tend to return to the Republic quite often as it is a very comforting book for a male at least. I t...

There's no such thing as a stupid Nazi. Oops, I just pulled an Emptyheady there.
February 27, 2017 at 21:57
Sympathizing with the Nazis is no joke, however low their crime rates.
February 27, 2017 at 19:18
Still, he lumped an argument in that needs some rigorous data to prove and went on from there. That's a little too much on such an issue...

I agree I tend to think that the majority of this forum is self-regulating and people can debate the issue with someone if they are sincere and reason...

This goes to show that he was in defense of Nazi Germany, which he claimed was less violent than the Venezuelan government, which might be true (as if...

So, what is it? Metaphysics or no metaphysics?
February 27, 2017 at 12:12
What would Kripke say? The world is the totality of every realized and unrealized modalities?
