Is this a joke? You mean that Poland was happy they had concentration camps on its soils while even Hitler would have found the idea repugnant to have...

The radicalization was complete.

The sad fact is that climate change is going to occur however you look at it due to dependence on hydrocarbons for fuel and the amount of money subsid...

I believe shale methane hasn't reached peak yet. And last I recall there is something like 200 years worth for the US to run off in the country alone....

But, who's going to do all the work?

I believe MAD will keep us all safe, as long as North Korea's leader is satisfied and nobody sells him a sub capable of getting to our shores undetect...

Forget about hot fusion, cold fusion is making a comeback. As for the topic. We have an ocean full of deuterium and hydrogen... We have thorium in ple...

Does the fact that the universe have a totality of facts that are intelligible via the PoSR, mean in any way that it is self contained, consistent, an...

But, those 'things' act in concert as logical facts. It's nonsense to say that a tree doesn't falls in the forest if nobody is there to witness it, it...

I have an OCD in philosophy. Trump that!

That really depends on the facts of physics. Your proof is a perversion of Zeno's paradox as you state. If it were true, then no physical law can be s...

Show us that we're all full of shit and hiding our desires behind a veil of rationalizations. Let the orgy commence.

Maybe it's not evil, maybe it is. But, it's not good in-of itself and doesn't lead to virtue.

This is clearly not true. A computer is a logical space, which behavior is dictated by logical facts. Ask Turing. And as per the Church-Turing-Deutsch...

Perception doesn't fit in with solipsism in the Tractatus, is what I'm saying. Marchesk explained the issue.

This can go about two way's and Wittgenstein choose the rather treacherous/fallacious path of solipsism in the Tractatus and with it private languages...

That's actually hilarious. *continues to wallow*

???????

Yeah, just watching this again. I need to sear his passion for Stoicism into my mind again.

Yes, I surprised the professor didn't get and give a collective heart attack for such a lecture on Stoicism.

Oh, I've seen that 2 times already. My Stoic skills are good, much more training needed.

But, it's Marcus Aurelius. The philosopher king! The only that ever existed. The good emperor as his populace called him.

Philosophy, as Marcus Aurelius would say to guide one's steps and path in such a torturous world full of lust, desire, and evil.

You have a wife? I'm sorry but I thought you were too mad of a fool to have one. :_)

They are prone to falsehoods; but, they are right in some regards. Whether they take things to excess is another matter. No, it would not make it evil...

Most religions recognize that self-pleasure leads to the path of unhappiness. And, quite frankly my excessive (previous) indulgence in pornography has...

That's what everyone says. See, there is never any level of satisfaction achieved with self-pleasure. It's like telling a drug addict his or her habit...

Then, I'm not many people then. This is funny, people are arguing that I should indulge in self pleasure. Self-pleasure is evil.

But the sense of accomplishment and victory over one's desires. Not many people can say that they have attained that status. Besides, I get enough ple...

Nah, I got it wrong. God was just lonely so he created us. End of story.

How could an all good being be lonely? Is this God just being vain?

Hmmm, not getting your drift here. Care to explain?

For all the talent and great music and aesthetic appeal, I find myself returning to the above low budget film with a great philosophical argument. "Th...

can indeed do what wants, but cannot will what wants.

What about it?

Daisy, Daisy / Give me your answer, do. / I'm half crazy / all for the love of you.

Dave was being a dick.

That's like what a father says when he doesn't get things his way. Or what a potential mother says when she places the priority of her own welfare abo...

I hope I dream about the bomb tonight. It was at least a good bomb.

The bomb was just doing its job!

Yes, but the bomb would tell you that's just absurd. It can count to 3, therefore it can count to 4.

I just can't help but feel sorry for the bomb. It's so cruel that it's only purpose was to explode. Wittgenstein would say that the language game has ...

What is it?

The hand never fails! :’( But, I've decided that it's enough of that. No more. Complete mastery over one-self is the goal now.

I don't know where you're getting the idea of me being so lazy. Is this some way of you telling me that I ought be more lustful for money, status, pow...

I'm not sure about the BDSM stuff. I tried Christian Mingle for a while and most girls were looking for Jesus there. I tried okcupid, and well that wa...

I actually grew up in the town where the inventor invented it. I heard it's an easy one to pick up.

I have no ego, or a little one so it's rather easy to identify with me. If you want to continue the conversation I can PM you as to the what and not t...

Sorry, @bert1 really threw me off there. I wonder what made him say that.

You weren't serious about that last post were you? I mean, that's a hideous thing to say to get me riled up over some stupid emotions about a rather o...
