What do you mean by "coming of age" and "psychological maturity"?

That's rather jumping to conclusions, that attachment to desire equates with life itself. Why does this conclusion seem correct to you?

Yeah, I suppose I will omit that part. But, I think Lock's conception of a clean slate is implied that education is a driving force to the attainment ...

As far as I'm aware, analytic philosophy bears no fruits to the hoi polloi, contrary to the first link you provided, and that in-of-itself is a huge i...

I'm only familiar with Noddings to a larger extent and her emphasis on education. In her, Education and Happiness, she often takes the presupposition ...

Well, you can be on disability and go to college, it's not an excluding factor. I'm not really college material even though I was there for a brief pe...

Sounds like anxiety. I know you mentioned that you have another diagnosis in another thread. Hows coming to terms with it? For me, it ended up being o...

OK, just so that you know, my addiction is much worse than yours. It has become so absolute, that I have no life. But, I'm am very happy. So, try and ...

That won't solve anything. What's the problem?

I guess it was a poorly made comment. Apologies.

He specifically mentions the opposite effect of imposing egalitarian laws or policies towards an equal outcome in the Scandinavian countries, which ca...

I haven't really read much of Peterson, so I digress. But, here's a video that can elucidate the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy4vq8RdPGU

This: Assult from who? Females?

With that said, given that we live in quite egalitarian times (more so than in the past, pace '60s), I think, that to uphold such an ethos, it is conv...

Well, then you can't treat his philosophy seriously?

I hope your being facetious. Under assault from who or what?

More of what? It's no secret that Peterson portrays males in some sort of decline with respect to their engendered archetypes of the past not self rea...

So, this is a troublesome issue. As far as I know most virtue ethicists such as Noddings or Gilligan have no imperative for their voice to be heard ov...

Yeah, what do you think about that? It's my impression that people like Jordan Peterson enjoy their fame due to this sort of backdrop of personal impr...

True, just following the topics on this forum, there's an incredible amount of care towards the environment and climate change. Those topics can go on...

Carol Gilligan, Nel Noddings, and other virtue ethicists? Just off the top of my head.

Well, there's a sort of issue with that, in that it sounds like it were exclusive to females only. But, feminist ethics, is primarily concerned with t...

I wouldn't say what's expected from them. That sounds a bit fishy. As to who they are, it isn't a prescriptive norm that should be imposed on females....

Well, yes. It's no surprise that the field of philosophy has been dominated by males for the past X millenia. That's not to say that females are discr...

I don't really have anything to add. Thanks.

Much love.

Sir, @"Wayfarer" might have an answer to this question. I know that Buddhist metaphysics is some pretty deep and nuanced stuff. If you do a search for...

Sad to see you leave. Best wishes.

Cool. I wouldn't necessarily try and obtain CBD from smoking it, although the bioavailability of CBD is much higher that route, yet with a shorter hal...

It is aesthetically pleasing to the soul.

Given my limited understanding of THC and autism, I do know that CBD and autism go wonderfully well together. The takeaway message of autism is that (...

Yeah... It can be, but, it's kind of necessary, don't you think?

I think as content as humanly possible. I'm relatively a young adult, but after having gone through ups and downs in my life I try and manage my desir...

I just wallow around. There's an element to Buddhist thought that at once I admire and at the same time my whimsically wallowing nature won't allow me...

Cool. I like Buddhism a lot; but, as a Westerner I struggle with the sheer elegance that is Buddhist thought in practice. It requires some guidance to...

Hmm, so you have no favorite philosopher?

This forum has payed handsome dividends in terms of alleviating my boredom. Who is your favorite philosopher?

Wow, congratulations then! I guess whereof one cannot speak I shall remain silent.

Yes, I'm somewhat lost here. Are you currently in Holland or in New Zealand? I don't know if I would even be able to decide between the two of I had t...

Yes, I think it goes in a loop with the two. How has your social life been or any relationships if I may be so bold? You seem confident, assertive, an...

Perhaps the most important question, is... do you feel safe and content that you have realized your plan to be back in your home country?

I don't see the connection with depression here. Is it something that sets in once you establish yourself? I mean it either takes a lot of motivation ...

Do go on... I'm having a hard time connecting the dots here.

So, the logical progression, what we're you running away from by all this travel, and discontentment with staying in one place for a while?

I'm not really well-read in Jordan Peterson, although I do plan on buying his 12 Rules, soon. I don't believe he spoke badly about addicts, nor do I f...

You should really look into cannabidiol for this purpose. The research is really solid, specifically for anxiety and depression. Also, lavender extrac...

Yeah... So, much disinformation has been legitimized by funding from the government that you always have to read the conflict of interest stub at the ...

Well, he is a psychologist that specializes in addiction, if I'm not mistaken, so it would be strange if he didn't talk about those issues?
