Some of the were bullied. But some likely weren't. Not that you said otherwise. It's very complex, many factors involved, not least the kind of econom...
1) I don't know, I should look at some studies. Off the top of my head, my speculation would be that not all these people were necessarily ignored or ...
Mostly agree with what you say. This quoted part though can be tricky. We also know of many "loners" (or whatever word we want to use) which end up sh...
A balance is likely best for most people. You see all kinds of destructive behavior in both groups, though I think you have to admit that we were born...
And that's fine. I can speak about Heidegger, I was quite into him several years ago. As far as I can see, he uses an interesting type of language to ...
You know much, much, much more about Husserl than me. I ask for a clear exposition of ideas, that can be done. It's another thing if you get technical...
Where I am currently? No. Not that I'm aware. Political parties here barely have differentiating platforms. I don't know if some belongs to left or ri...
It's messy. And it also isn't easy to make as strong a case for leaving for the left as there is for the right. There were leftists who wanted to leav...
Yeah. I'm not going to pretend that the EU become an example of direct democracy overnight or anything like that. But I think the totality of its citi...
Well, that would be a step in the right direction. As far as I can recall, you can only do this for the EU parliament, which has no power though. I'd ...
We agree that reducing suffering in relation to babies being born through slight genetic manipulations. And you've said that that's not social Darwini...
That's the wave length of red. That's not the answer you get if you ask any person to point to you to something red. If you ask a scientist, then they...
Red happens to be quantifiable to that wavelength. But a quantity is not a quality. I have a hard time understanding how people could really believe t...
Well this is (in my case now) abstract theorizing, but I think we should at least make the following distinction: 1) Those people for whom it might no...
Well if by attempting to create a healthier baby leads to this kind of thinking, which I haven't seen yet, then there's an argument to be made that ge...
Very little is known about "mental illnesses", not that they don't exist. We likely all have some kind of them to some degree or other. We clearly kno...
I mean, in a sense we are already heading in the direction, if only slightly. We already have medications and I believe we are beginning to get geneti...
That's fine in that you don't find what Russell says interesting or deep. I was only speaking about prose style. On the other hand, to your credit, yo...
You don't think there's a qualitative difference in writing quality between Husserl and Russell? I'm not speaking about depth of ideas, that's person ...
Yes. If you do your best to explain and the person does not understand, then the onus tends to be on the person who doesn't get it. I agree with you. ...
:lol: I mean, it's four words, not entire sentences. No worries man, it happens to all of us, particularly if we're emotional on a topic, which happen...
No I mean, read the four words prior to where you quoted. I agree with you. It's a shame they aren't better organized and coherent. They are important...
It's true that the world was unprepared. Most of it. Not Taiwan or South Korea. But as soon as Biden came to office, the US did way better than the EU...
It depends on how deep you want to go with this. If you want a good intro to his talking about innate ideas and the like, I'd recommend you see Michel...
Yes, it has all these separate governing bodies and all these fancy sounding internal organizations. How much influence does the average European have...
It's person dependent. Some people have an innate capacity to understand certain ideas better than others, perhaps the topic at hand resonates with a ...
Yeah. It should be amended significantly every X amount of time. They had no idea about what we would be dealing with back in the day. Nor the moral p...
Ahh, I see. There's plenty of good arguments for such a view, Schopenhauer comes to mind. Spinoza too and Parmenides. Also the Upanishads, etc. etc. I...
Yeah. It's ironic. Not that NATO is much better. I mean yes, the US is somewhat democratic, more than the EU now, I'd argue, but it doesn't matter, I ...
Not for no lack of trying. He wanted to provoke a war with Iran by assassinating Soleimani. Iran did not take the bait, despite having ships near ther...
Yes. Varoufakis and Mody document this quite well. I agree, they should unite in a kind of "United States of Europe", but the current system they have...
Yes, that's what they do talk. In that same article you provide it says: "Currently, there is no such army, and defence is a matter for the member sta...
Well, let's wait to cross that bridge. Having said that, there's little reason to suspect the EU will do much of anything. What could they do? Sanctio...
Many thanks for sharing that, someone here will identify with what you're saying. I have my share of disorders too, though not as bad. It's nice to he...
Very true. Interesting. I've always found Schopenhauer's philosophy to be therapeutic. Even being depressed I felt in good company, and when still fee...
It can be, if they are grasped by the arguments and problems. But it can be very dangerous too, if such a person is feeling depressed, then bumping in...
Because it is. Just one note, there are no final proofs in nature. We can't prove almost anything. We constantly revise what we know and we can't do m...
