counterpunch

tarot cards, astrology, ouija boards, haruspex, divination — counterpunch If you say so. Personally, I was responding to the argument made in the arti...

It was terrible for the Germans after WWI. The Treaty of Versailles demanded huge reparations, while at the same time annexed the Saaland, which was G...

I'm not up for that right now, but maybe tomorrow. Good night all.

I'm trying to survive.

May I direct your attention to this thread: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/541344 I think it describes the piece of the puzzle you'...

I'm not sure. Maybe it was necessary to science to make that absolute distinction between divine and rational knowledge. It's very difficult to walk t...

Is that a question? You can talk to me directly! https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/131210177.pdf I could go through each of the six signs in turn, but n...

I think it was open to the Church, in 1635, to accept science as the means to decode the word of God made manifest in Creation - on the basis of St Au...

You'd have made a good racist! I think perhaps you mean Nazi. George Floyd's choices created the situation. If he'd complied he wouldn't have died. Th...

Theoretically compatible.

Untrue. She was asked put on mask and refused, then she was asked to leave, and refused. She was arrested for criminal trespass; she resisted arrest, ...

Ideally, the Church would have embraced Galileo as discovering the means to decode the word of God made manifest in Creation, and so imbued science wi...

Not so fast. On your front page, you have a list of essays that suggest we do not agree: "Essays of interest The Cultural Impact of Empiricism Jacques...

I'm not suggesting science as an ideology per se, not least because global (scientific) government would not be politically legitimate. It would be to...

I don't understand your sentence. 'Proponents of scientism' is ambiguous. Do you mean those committing the sin of scientism? Or those who believe scie...

Could you write this same sentence again, a different way, as it's impossible to parse.

I'd say, that we face a climate and ecological crisis as a consequence of the misuse of science and engineering by a culture that deprived science of ...

Piling on! Modern science, based on the hypothetico-deductive methodology described by Galileo in 'Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems' - ...

It's a perfectly decent essay. But I didn't like it - because in my view, accusations of scientism are an attempt to put science back in a box that it...

Oddly anachronistic example toward the end. "Sometimes, the resistance is foolish. I read, for example, that some prominent Indian social scientists f...

Is anyone on this plane a poet? I'm a doctor! I need a poet, dammit!

"6. Denying or denigrating the legitimacy or the worth of other kinds of inquiry besides the scientific, or the value of human activities other than i...

I think they are. In what sense? Do you mean such responses are rude to others - and so unempathetic? Or is it that they express the emotional state o...

You take care too Shawn, and I'm sorry, for trying (unsuccessfully) to make you express any emotion at all. I can only apologise for my conduct, and a...

Are you calling me a pest? Then tell me so, you coward.

Yeah, that's how!

Yes, I'm absolutely furious about it. That's what makes me fine. You, I'm worried about. What makes you angry?

No, I'm fine. What does wallowsome mean?

So you're surprised? Is it a good surprise?

I imagine you've been advised to adopt a sleep routine, eat healthily, exercise and drink water to combat the depression. Hey, I bet you didn't think ...

Okay then. I have enough to form a hypothesis. Given that your OP is not based in research, but is your own opinion, and taking into account your resp...

Do you mean in social situations, you're nervous. Or just nervous generally? And what about that makes you angry? Are you angry at yourself?

You weren't angry? It took you 14 minuets to respond to a post that required no response. You were plenty angry. So, again, do you think that expressi...

Shawn had every reason to be angry with my post, yet chose not to express it. I wonder whether he thinks that is emotionally intelligent or not. I don...

Do you think being angry is indicative of low EQ?

Then why don't you like being angry? Do you not deserve to be satisfied?

Sorry Shawn, I was joking, and giving you a dig to test your emotional intelligence. You must be quite angry and yet have contained yourself. I think ...

Then, yes. It was presumptuous! lol.

Why are lol, rofl etc, indicative of low EQ? I hate emojis. What are they indicative of? I imagine you've done extensive research on semiotics, and ar...
