I respect your anecdotal experience as both real and anecdotal, but i'm still not sure what you mean by morality or personal responsibility in these c...

Some don't, many do, as many of the disorders--e.g. schizophrenia, clinical depression, and bi-polar disorder are usually chronic conditions demanding...

David Smail was a psychologist who was in no place making judgments over psychiatric/medical/biochemical matters.

This just goes against established medical study and practice, as well as psychiatric and psycho-pharmacological study. Depression can, and usually do...

The "problem" (probably not the best word here) is very much the patient when they are suffering the neuro-physiological disorders of schizophrenia, c...

I mentioned Santa Claus. Apparently there's enough evidence for you to believe in him.

I do have to say this is the most phenomenally awful, incoherent run-on sentence I've seen in a while. Adieu, Pierre...for good.

No, you need to try harder since nothing you wrote there addresses anything I said. So, i'm done entertaining your nonsense. Since you clearly can't a...

I already backed it up in my above tweets. if you can't address what I wrote, then you'll just have to keep crying about it.

That has nothing to do with anything I said.

No, to require proof is to not be a naïve fool when no sufficient evidence of a thing has been presented. So, the one who misunderstands the nature of...

I made that clear in what I wrote above that sentence. I'm sorry English challenges you so.

The fact you don't know what "you need to read better" means just further confirms you do. Thanks.

You're hilarious since you clearly don't realize that all your awareness comes from your brain. If you did, you wouldn't ask such ridiculous questions...

You need to read better. When you say "our brains" what you are really saying is "our brains's brains," since there is no real separation between our ...

The problem with that sentence is the "our" is "our" brains. You're asking us to step outside ourselves. Where does that possible Archimedean point of...

Yes, writers of secondary literature usually aren't trying to replicate the original text.

Requiring proof of posited supernatural beings like God, ghosts or Santa Claus is just being a rational grownup. And to say one needs to commit to suc...

No, it's not true of me more or less since I correctly recognize those words have specific functional meanings and are not "loaded" words, as you erro...

Atheists don't reject the good of religion; they reject the existence of God. Many atheists, including myself, recognize the good Christian abolitioni...

Since some are legitimately including fiction, my top ten philosophical fiction works: 1. Hamlet 2. Paradise Lost-John Milton 3. Ulysses-James Joyce 4...

No, I've been around both people with humor and those without. I've never seen someone actually significantly help people in need with it. Is that wha...

Sure, but we're not in Plato's day anymore and the word has changed to its new Modern English meaning, like many other words. So, spiritual and intell...

No, it's more like you're not a person partial to sufficient education as none of those words are "loaded" words, and they are part of common usage in...

No, that isn't clear at all, and you haven't shown it to be. So the only one trying to blow air past their teeth and waste their time as well as our o...

I never said there weren't ways to help people that didn't involve money, but it is hard to come up with the time and resources to help people when on...

How exactly is their motivation ethical if it doesn't make it easier for them to help their families or others? It would seem to lower their ability t...

You're reading important stuff. To me the three most central thinkers to Modernism are Marx, Freud, and Nietzsche, with Kierkegaard the dark horse.

And fetishization, never forget fetishization....:) Use value versus exchange value Is huge too.

I'm the only one here that's good at this. The initial investigation concerned speculation, not evidence, Russian hacked the election. So, we have no ...

It really is, as it pretty much foretells the value system Capitalism will develop and we have right now. The first third is the most important part, ...

I've provided my argument in perfect and clear terms, and you certainly haven't shown I haven't. The only one whose arguments were convoluted--and err...

Sigh... 1. The primary premise is incomplete because it does not support your claim that a warrant specifically went out concerning the hacking of the...

I'd go with Twilight of the Idols as my number two. Dostoevsky is philosophical literature for me as he works to avoid making a prescription with his ...

No, the irony is Creativesoul is providing "faux news" by asserting there's evidence when none has been provided after 8 months and nothing points to ...

I've offered my argument. As I showed above, you misread and or misrepresented all of them. Address what I actually said without doing so, as I've alr...

P1..you have no idea what the warrant is for, so it doesnt' mean there's evidence Russia hacked the election or Trumps campaign facilitated it. P2. Ye...

That is not true at all, and you haven't come close to cite the case supporting your false statement. Sigh.... You actually wrote, "I'm claiming that ...

I agree...:)

1. The Sickness Unto Death--Soren Kierkegaard 2. Writing and Difference--Jacques Derrida 3. The Postmodern Condition--Jean-Francois Lyotard 4. I and T...

I did; may I suggest you learn to read better? 8-)

The one who is lost here is you, and I've made that very clear. Yes, and the fact no evidence has been provided, when prosecutors are allowed to relea...

I never said it was, but proving one satisfied the expressed objective of Russian intelligence operations does not mean the Russians hacked the DNC se...

No, it doesn't because that's exactly what people mean when they say "there's no evidence.' They dont' mean "there's no possible evidence anywhere in ...

Sorry, you don't get basic Criminal Procedure. A prudent prosecutor has to show ample evidence to even get her case to trial and is then required to s...

Sorry, that claim doesn't rest on a dubious presupposition and you haven't shown it has. It's been over 9 months since Hillary has made her claim and ...

What claim works from a very dubious presupposition? My claim certainly doesn't.

Lots of stuff correct here, particularly about the DNC rigging the primary against the better candidate and defrauding his voters and donors, but ther...

Not if they're right like I was; you must spend little time around people who are right. I'm not surprised. You clearly can't defend your erroneous po...

The only silly one has been you, and thanks for proving what I just said.
