*Pig looks intently.*
September 08, 2021 at 04:37
I'm puzzled to think that this is true, regardless as to whether this was once thought as true. Why would you think that, that is true? Is that a hall...

Sometimes I wish I could just openly say to someone, "You're full of shit!"

Is this a feature of Narcissus? That he possessed self-love? Does it translate to a positive of narcissism, rather than a negative?

September 04, 2021 at 03:29
That was a nice read. It strikes me as odd that psychologists would designate the etymology of narcissism to Narcissus. What do you think?
September 04, 2021 at 01:51
I believe that this is a much more complex phenomenon than what can be stated on a forum. You might like the link above. I believe that Narcissus wasn...

Narcissus was insecure? This research seems to support what you are saying: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/03/210325150223.htm
September 04, 2021 at 01:38
How do you interpret it, then?
September 04, 2021 at 00:47
It seems that I don't know either.
September 04, 2021 at 00:36
Nah, Narcissus was self-sufficient. He entertained himself in a reflection, felt happy with what he was doing, and deep down inside, while sitting the...

No judgement; but, narcissism seems like a common feature of humanity as we see it these days. (Not entirely sure about this.) What do you think? Proc...
September 04, 2021 at 00:02
I believe, as simply as I can, Narcissus lived an unremarkable life in ancient times, fell in love with himself, and by psychologists got called a nar...
September 03, 2021 at 23:39
Yet, Narcissus took it as a reflection of himself. He was concerned with nothing more than his beauty. The tale is simple and short. There seems to be...

What other ways can it be read in? Perhaps, like most tragic figures of ancient Greece, he knew his fate, and saw it all coming to realize with the wa...
September 03, 2021 at 22:51
I am truly astonished with Narcissus. He definitionally lived a selfish life, concerned with his own reflection, and was not burdened with any ill fat...

In a perfect world every discussion would end with a Rogerian agreement. I agree to disagree.
September 02, 2021 at 19:51
Anyone interested in a discussion would look at this with a raised eyebrow? What does that even mean that the Taliban were winning the war in Afghanis...

I don't think the US still funds Pakistan. Does it?
September 01, 2021 at 19:03
Uncoordinated with whom? You keep on asserting these wishful thoughts about the whole war. If I'm not mistaken from the moment the Taliban started tak...
September 01, 2021 at 18:08
Yes, that did happen. Yet, what's this got to do with the US' failure. The facts elude me as to when the US decided to cooperate with the Taliban. Do ...
September 01, 2021 at 18:02
I don't really know what your getting at here. Like I said, if helicopters flying near embassies in Afghanistan makes you think it's Saigon, then I do...
September 01, 2021 at 17:53
Actually, the Taliban were cooperating with the US by making promises to allow evacuations until the 31, which they even assisted in transporting and ...
September 01, 2021 at 17:50
Saigon in Afghanistan never happened. No embassy in Afghanistan was under siege. I don't know why you keep on repeating that as if it was factual...?

I know right? The argument reeks of *if only more was done or at least in another way!!!*
August 31, 2021 at 00:25
There aren't any soldiers. I keep on hearing about some US citizens there that didn't get out. Strange.
August 31, 2021 at 00:23
It seems all apples and oranges to me. Christianity is a religion, whereas Buddhism is not.
August 31, 2021 at 00:08
And America has left Afghanistan before the deadline.
August 30, 2021 at 23:58
Californian here. I'm not too hot on Newsom. I might go with Cox.
August 30, 2021 at 21:11
I think the answer to that question is in the realm of the military and intelligence services as to why the Afghan military quickly surrendered with a...
August 30, 2021 at 17:47
Sure, it seems to me that that's an oversimplification.
August 30, 2021 at 17:31
Technically it was the Pentagon; but, everyone blames the President.
August 30, 2021 at 17:08
But, as a neo-Kantian, isn't the limits of intelligibility or landmarks in thought itself of interest or serve as a method of ascertaining the complex...
August 29, 2021 at 19:21
Why is that true if I may ask?
August 29, 2021 at 17:20
I see. But, what was the problem with the notion of analysis it employed?
August 28, 2021 at 22:47
Yes, like opinions, prejudices, bias... They all fall under the banner of 'beliefs', no?
August 28, 2021 at 04:13
And seemingly, this is what Banno has been professing as the way to determine an utterance being a fact from a proposition...

I'm operating from the assumption that there isn't one theory of truth, be it (coherentist, correspondence, or pragmatic, neither deflationary) that e...
August 28, 2021 at 03:56
But, justification is truth-apt. Beliefs need not be.
August 28, 2021 at 03:46
I assumed that was justification?
August 28, 2021 at 03:41
No, I mean that if we assume that truth is something up for debate, then are there possibly differing senses of facts?
