praxis

It doesn’t, but in theory it would be a movement away from materialistic rationalization (efficiency, calculability, predictability, and control) and ...

Aesthetics to counteract rationalization in society, essentially.

It's nothing new this day and age, is what I meant.

Jackson, being about as useful as Anne Frank's drum-kit, forced me to seek the answer for myself so I let my fingers do some googling and discovered a...

:grin: I thought that’s what I did say. No help?

I was never good with Greek riddles. Maybe the meaning is that art is the creative act? If so, I’ll point out that creativity isn’t exclusive to art p...

I just don’t see how this is in any way a radical idea.

What you mean or the history? Please elaborate either way.

Art for art’s sake, if that’s your meaning, predates FN.

What does that mean?

Just when I think you can’t be any more despicable you outdo yourself, this time characterizing a large group of people, literally millions across the...

Why exactly is it beneficial? You say that it “seems” beneficial. Perhaps it is not.

Figurative with the belief that it ought to be literal?

I think the word is homogenization, or maybe more accurately, colonialization.

Are you saying what I think you’re saying?! :grimace:

Rather it’s the futile eternal recurrence of a hamster wheel, right? No progress is possible. It seems to me that the point of a higher spiritual-inte...

Perhaps try seasoning your potato salad with a pinch of amor fati. :yum:

Developed in what way and to what end? There are all sorts of wills, such as: Will to truth (philosophy) Will to pleasure (utilitarian) Will to meanin...

:chin: :chin: :chin: Religion

Don’t have to be in full agreement or understanding to appreciate others in various ways. I’m sincerely curious about what you’ve been saying about dr...

Reminds me of Lord of the Rings. One ring to rule them all! What’s the point of this self-control? Why is it good or desirable?

I recall that Napoleon was considered a megalomaniac Überdouche. Wouldn’t the world be better off without such creatures?

conformistHoneyBadger senior and crew were apparently highly successful in color coding your compliant ass. Again I wonder, isn’t the Überdouche suppo...

Once upon a time there was a man named Frank. In all appearance Frank was like any man, often wearing jeans and a raggedy old t-shirt he bought at Bri...

Buns I defiled snub Hannah.

Fear not, dimo, that which does not cancel Nietzsche makes him grow stronger. :strong:

Bad enoc cone dab.

Forgive me, I got tired of endlessly repeating the same point, that a discussion between gender and sex is natural and quite common.

Milk and cookies kept me up all night. Nice improvement!

Hmmm, well now, seems I’ve gotten myself into quite the pickle. :brow: Perhaps @"180 Proof" can rescue my dignity.

Oh I read it alright. Perhaps you will be kind enough to read my definition: Meaning: what is meant by a fucking word, text, concept, or action! :blus...

Dad lives on no sevil dad.

My wife has a “taco cat” t-shirt. Yup, it’s a palindrome. :snicker:

I was simply trying to determine your meaning about alcohol being toxic, which is still not obvious to me. I can’t tell if you’re kidding.

Figures of speech convey meaning, and in this case, what it means to be a man. It implies that our own view and the view of others may not align or be...

This is a strange statement for me because I don’t consider intoxication or toxins “evil.” I can only assume that’s a faith based moralization on your...

The similarity is in your dependence. You say yourself that it gives your life meaning. If that’s the case then you’re dependent on it. Without if you...

I assume it means a lack of maturity, or perhaps past maturity, or some other gender. Just looked it up and as of today there are 72 genders, so there...

What is it that really defines a man or woman, the question seems to be. Sex alone doesn’t seem to cut it, particularly in less liberal perspectives. ...

And religions give reasons for the universe and life in it? If that what you’re saying, it’s just another way of saying that we make our own reasons f...

Can you rephrase this in a way that doesn’t force me to ask a series of questions in an attempt to discover what you’re talking about?

Right, the moon is not the pointing fingers (religions). It is not religion and doesn’t need religion to be seen. A similar Buddhist saying is somethi...

Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I recently watched both seasons of Bridgerton (kinda like Hamilton without the song and dance). Due to my condi...

I’ve read a half dozen Isabel Allende books in a row so none of you dopes better talk about star-crossed lovers without knowing your stuff.

It means possessing characteristics associated with women, like the qualities mentioned earlier, but are not exclusive to women, and that is the point...

Gotta love the Nietch.

Consulting my trusty dictionary again, I see that spirit is defined as: the nonphysical part of a person which is the seat of emotions and character; ...

I'm afraid that I am also ignorant about the nature of spirits as well. Please enlighten me.

Nowhere. It also does not define God as a non-physical entity.

God (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being. (in...
