See, and you do have to resort to intentionality, don't you? And, that's where your or Davidson's analysis becomes flimsy.

It's strange that many continental philosophers like Habermas or Derrida might chime in here and say, if everyone we're so full of compassion and unde...

Deflated truth? One has to assume that epistemically, I might be an uneducated pleb that can't understand academic rigour, and that may as well be tru...

You know, meditating over the last few posts, I think the thread should be renamed as worker's disenfranchisement. This is only because, as an America...

First, sorry to hear of your loss. It seems that if this were the best of all possible worlds, there'd be no reason to entertain philosophy from an ex...

:grin: But, wallowing is healthy. Pigs have much to teach us.

Well, yes, what is of value isn't the amount produced, but the worth of a product to one's way of life. And, Marx couldn't have fathomed what Keynes c...

This is actually a really well thought out post, and sorry I can't address it all. The issue that Marx saw it as, was that through perceiving other pe...

Economically, there is no other way of stating the (potential) utility of a human being with (respect?) to another. But, we all know that's this just ...

You could use the property of Quantum Mechanical systems to evolve through time through the simple act of observation. Hope that's not too New Age for...

Wallows...

The Mandalorian, if you want a Star Wars epic, that's what's up.

How's the coffee?

By wallowing? I think wallowing is just a harmless coping mechanism. Though, it is getting somewhat boring. *Just wallows*

Pray! The end is nigh!

You should see what's happening to the religious right in the US. They honest to God, think this guy is a prophet or something sent by God to fix a fa...

Right, and instills a groupthink mentality of sorts, that is conflated with patriotism to a large degree. Yes?

If you subscribe to the Principle of Sufficient Reason, then yes, everything has a cause and reason for it.

I don't really know, man. I wish there were a simple answer to all this wallowing. But, I suppose I have to learn to cope with it. I hope I'm not maki...

Feeling very wallowsome. *Makes some pig noises that are actually due to the flu.*

It doesn't mean it has no purpose. Still trying to figure where it's fitting in the grand scheme of things, hereabouts.

Yes, I shall wallow and await your return, as I just ate dinner (provided by a local food bank)... *And, yet, once again, I just flat out state that I...

I mean, you work with people, right? You've seen worse, that always broadens the scope of one's solipsistic world, right? It sounds as if you would wa...

The banana? Oh, I put it away. It was an enticing opportunity though. *changes the topic* Have you ever been depressed, Brett?

What is with American jingoism? And, over what? Is this guy beyond reproach?

End my misery. Are you a cop by chance? I'm holding a loaded banana point-blank.

Full disclosure, I'm on SSI (welfare). I literally have nothing to complain about. This is getting pathetic...

For me? It's a very stipulative (low expectations) meaning of (not) wallowing as much. The tacit agreement between me and Baden was that this one was ...

But, I like my world, or not? :razz:

Ehh, I'm gonna suspend the navel-gazing for some time, if me, myself, and I will allow it so. One pastime to get me through the day was taking ADHD me...

One takeaway thing from group therapy is the realization that you're not alone and others simply have it worse. The issue here is that it just keeps o...

Daddy issues left untouched, pretty much. I don't plan on committing suicide though. I have to see through helping my mom out and making it past that ...

Of course, your standards are just beyond comprehension here.

Neither do I get me. To be unbiased and honest, here, I think I'm just pretty self-indulgent and downright spoiled. I have no apparent reason to hate ...

So, it's a witch-hunt if Trump says it's a witch-hunt, and it's alt-facts if he says it too. So, the man must really be the second coming of Christ or...

Let's see if he finks.

I suppose Q#3, is kinda an offshoot between Q#2&1, being insofar, how much does the Kantian categorical imperative lend itself to Stoical duty? Or is ...

Not so lawless a country as one might assume: https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/15/politics/trump-associates-convicted-in-mueller-related-investigations/ind...

OK, sorry for the smear. I'm sapped of all energy due to this lingering flu. I hope the questions are acceptable, as it seems it's time to prepare a l...

We're on step 3 AFAIK. Baden seems to be grumpy, so I say we stick with one of the questions posed earlier being: Why has Stoicism experienced such a ...

Wallowsome, but acceptable.

Well, here I chime in and say, no! I don't like the fetishism of psychology to fixate on some botched past. It is what it is.

29, too young for this sort of shit>? I will go on wallowing...

It's happening @"Amity", no worries.
