Ugh, alright. Whether or not meaning is a natural phenomenon that just grows, this says nothing about your claim that meaning isn't based on values. A...

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...

It happened years ago and I don't know if she reported it. I'd ask but she's out. If I recall, she told the story in the general context of it being a...

The worst story I can remember my wife telling was of a guy running her to the side of the road with his car while she was riding a bike and then mast...

Try it. See what happens. It's safe, I promise.

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 ...

The only way to recover is to slap down a beat to it and show-off your rhythm.

Again, the point is that she should know better. We should all know better, in my opinion. I recognize that many in this country don't know better. A ...

Leeann Tweeden wasn't a soldier. She was named the top Hooters girl of all time though, not to 'slut shame' but to point out that she's probably exper...

I went to a Motorhead concert once. My ears are still ringing.

The tweet takes it a ridiculous distance further by claiming the Deneuve gang have been permanently cowed into mindless submission. Disturbing in that...

An object in motion tends to stay in motion. My mother-in-law, who currently lives with us, has never made an effort to develop her mind and the conse...

Cool frog but it looks hazardously positioned.

What is meaningful has nothing to do with right and wrong? What does it mean to say that the world is the way science describes it? I'll point out the...

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.

He’s been a force for deregulation across the board, and favoring the corporate sector and the rich in tax cuts is a conservative ‘trickle down’ excus...

So actually anti-Trump ;)

If I recall, Agustino is an economic conservative. He’s even a Trump supporter, bless his heart.

Think of how irritating it would be if you were forced to declare what you were living for each morning.

From the link:

I think defining exactly what constitutes “a complete sense of self” may prove to be a little elusive, especially at the age of 2. Concepts grow, part...

@"Wayfarer" recently opened my eyes to the compelling ideas of Max Weber and his work in understanding the processes of rationalisation, secularisatio...

I watched, pretty disturbing. No less disturbing was the Metalhead episode. How much of a leap is it to go from the SpotMini: https://www.youtube.com/...

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...

Clearly there's a huge difference between the art world of 1917 and the art world today. Judging by your disclaimer of "depending on the selections," ...

Rapidly in relation to the enlightenment, naturally. Prior to the enlightenment cultures like ancient Egypt were, by our standard, almost inconceivabl...

Non-subscribers don't see the paperclip for attachments, I believe. Need to upload images to photo hosts like Flickr, copy a link to the image, and th...

He may be too mortified by the claim to participate.

Your reasoning isn’t clear to me here but this reminds me of a frequently referenced portion of the Heart Sutra which claims that form = emptiness. It...

I’m sold, but they probably don’t have any even at the local Whole Foods.

If you’re unconvinced about our implicit associations take one of the tests at: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/ And see for yourself.

You could simply tell the truth and say that you haven't put much thought into it. Of course you'll then be labeled something like a 'non-thinker'. Ou...

I was tempted to ask the same of you but I suspected it would be pointless. Your use of quotation marks surrounding my "Point" suggest it's not a poin...

Council advises that I not discuss the cases publicly until after litigation.

Point is: dealing with the 'lower head' is not as easy as it may seem.

Basically giving someone space to cool-off, sure, that's the right thing to do in some situations. This is beside the point however because we're talk...

Ignoring someones distress is neither emotinally supportive or cognitively helpful.

That would especially be a time for support or to help inject reason. And you suggest I'm a dick?

(1) Clearly it bothered Tiff. That alone is a reason to bother. (2) Sounds pretty base to me.

The top head represents reason, if I'm not mistaken, therefore perhaps the conversation was impaired by... something more base. Clearly the brother's ...

You wrote earlier that you learned how to handle such situations. Also, you claimed that the "lower head" was MUCH easier to deal with. Upon reflectio...

Sure, and similarly we evade hunger. That doesn’t mean there’s no food to eat, only that our desire is naturally incessant. In a rapidly changing worl...

Yeah, well, you just have to be careful and not drop the soap.
