It sounds like you're more concerned with ideology than with extensions of the conception of justice or sub-categories of justice. If concerned with f...

Profiting off knowing what the stock market will do prior to its tweet induced fluctuations?

Stoicism. Because we are a social species endowed with the capacity of reason.
October 07, 2020 at 20:49
That's what I found remarkable. But I didn't look into the case so I can't do anything but speculate. Equal justice is generally suspect? How so? This...
October 07, 2020 at 20:41
I didn't say it was impossible to reach others with different values/views, I said your approach is fundamentally flawed in assuming that everyone val...

It's remarkable that you think this could be considered racial justice. Offhand, to me it sounds like the school is simply doctoring the numbers to lo...
October 07, 2020 at 18:56
Fine, if that’s what you want to believe then be my guest. Objecting to things that other people type makes me feel like a big dog and boosts my fragi...

The fundamental, and rather glaring, flaw in Hirstoff’s account is that everyone values truth and therefore it can provide common ground. I’m sure tha...

Don’t be an ass, I clearly said my caring for those topics. I’ve demonstrated that caring in this topic. I don’t care if it bores you.
October 07, 2020 at 14:45
Well, forgive me for caring about stoicism, Buddhist meditation, CBT, the difference between religion and philosophy, and whatever else fucking bores ...

There must be some strategy behind stopping the stimulus talks until after the election, however lame it might be.
October 06, 2020 at 21:53
As those terms are pretty much passé they could have pretty much the same effect here. For example, I might say something with an English accent like,...
October 06, 2020 at 21:13
What is that supposed to mean? Should I cheer whatever someone posts because they merely participated, like this were a kindergarten classroom? And if...

The 30 second military salute was embarrassing also. It’s respectful for a civilian to place their hand over their heart... oh, I see the problem.
October 06, 2020 at 17:44
Your claims are oddly contradictory. Stoicism utilizes psychotherapy similar to modern CBT. This is not the same as phsychoanalysis. Reducing maladapt...

Thanks. Impressive woodworks!
October 06, 2020 at 13:48
Do you care if his actions translate to infections?
October 06, 2020 at 13:44
That’s really weird because Trump taking a joyride around the hospital, regardless of the consequences to others, and manic tweeting seem totally in c...

Next in the beverage series, the 8 x 10" still-life Dragonwell. https://designpraxis.biz/img/dragonwell.jpg

Right, is even the green new deal radical?
October 04, 2020 at 21:22
It doesn’t seem necessary to argue that radical change is riskier than gradual change.

I named myself after an exploded Klingon moon because, well, to be honest, I’m a raging nerd. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XqGnAIgzUTY
October 04, 2020 at 14:55
At least you’re not a lonely trash poster then. :snicker:
October 04, 2020 at 14:46
I’m sure that I’d be tempted to accidentally trip over a power cord or three, but, I probably couldn’t do it. Damn it all!
October 03, 2020 at 21:14
Dying young from KitKat gluttony expresses mindless self-conservatism (analogical selfishness) which is only distinguishable from self-interest in tha...

It would be a classic ending for Trump to die of covid, in ‘a trickster eventually gets caught in their own net’ kinda way.
October 03, 2020 at 17:15
We could honor the fallen as hero’s but for the well known sentiment that those who die for their country economy are losers and suckers.
October 03, 2020 at 16:34
The other day Trump mentioned that corona only affects the elderly or “virtually nobody,” so if these virtual nobodies (including the elderly Trump) a...

I was being facetious of course.

Not liberal, not a fascist, dubious taste for democracy, and a dislike of free speech. I got it... https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/43...

It does not apply to dogma, an issue that you brought up. Anyone resisting religious dogma.
October 03, 2020 at 03:20
He spoke directly to the camera, notably, and I’ve seen reports that it was very positive with undecideds. I don’t think Trump is capable of that appr...
October 02, 2020 at 23:54
To be clear, dogma can be a take it or leave it (optional) proposition. On the other hand, you know what they call someone who tries to reform Buddhis...
October 02, 2020 at 23:36
Not a sense thing but a feel thing, I imagine, to the Trump supporters. Empathy can be a powerful ally.
October 02, 2020 at 23:11
It's not possible to be continuously satisfied because, as the Buddhist say, everything changes. So in essence change is what causes dissatisfaction a...
October 02, 2020 at 19:09
The problem is the attention span of the Trump rally-goer is probably about the length of a gnats, and that’s why he’s forced to do so many of them. I...
October 02, 2020 at 17:54
Speaking of which, I guess the Hitlarian rile-ups will be put on hold for at least two weeks. Ouch. :grimace:
October 02, 2020 at 17:04
I hope none of this kerfuffle (kind of a fun word that sounds like it contains popcorn) involves my brobdingnagian appendage. If so, sorry I’ve been d...
October 02, 2020 at 16:32
Granted I’m no fan of dogma but the cessation of suffer’n is a bit more appealing, to me. What religion doesn’t have this take it or leave it attitude...

In fact, life is not chaos and disharmony. It requires order and chaos.
October 02, 2020 at 15:58
I think that’s understandable because by claiming that Trump won the debate suggests that you value his “stream roller” strategy or that your prefer a...
October 02, 2020 at 15:49
That’s remarkable for someone with 3k+ posts on a philosophy forum, if that suggests valuing truth and reason. I just rewatched the first two segments...

If pedia is child and encyclius is circularity then the meaning is a child going is circles, as though lost in the woods of knowledge.
October 01, 2020 at 12:38
Politicizing issues in order to herd the masses is a timeless practice.
October 01, 2020 at 12:18
@"TheMadFool" Looks like either 180 has chosen not to be your personal secretary or you should fire him for being an inattentive minion. Whatever the ...
October 01, 2020 at 12:09
Dear @"180 Proof", How is pessimism the only realistic attitude to adopt?
October 01, 2020 at 01:22
No, there’s pleasure or satisfaction also, truth be told. If craving is only a partial cause then ending it may not do the trick. So debatable rather ...

How can conservatives be so fervent in their support of the 2nd amendment and be pro-life? There's a shitload of guns in this country and they correla...

I assume that you can easily show how the Four Noble Truths are factual.
