Is it true what they say, has the world become your ouster?

Frankly, I'm skeptical if your 'clickety-clack, as if' explanation is worth deciphering. Teleology, as I expect you know, is a reason or explanation f...

Just out of curiosity, why do you suppose it stoped after 25? You moved to a better neighborhood? Started working out?

What you continue to not acknowledge is that aesthetics, "linguistic meaning," and capital M meaning is all based on our values. Values are expressed ...

Can you have one without the other? I suppose we know when things are too lean when disaster strikes, like the economic meltdown of 08.

Right and wrong are based on values, and so is aesthetics. For instance, we can buy a work of art as an investment (rational) or we can buy a piece of...
