Well said. For Hillary, keeping American influence in the world meant voting for the disastrous Iraq war, toppling the Libyan government and pushing a...

Critics actually watch/read/listen to acts of creation for their own acts of creation. As Wilde put it, artists look at the world and infuse it into t...

I've already don't that many times, and you've failed to address me every time. So, we're done and good night. I won't be reading any more of your ran...

Sorry, Cavacava, corporations, governments, and economic systems have been skewing the truth for centuries. So, none of what you mentioned points to o...

That was a semi-coherent mess with not one shred of truth to it. You're coming unhinged, Creative. I suggest you call it a night before you embarrass ...

I've never debated that. I've just correctly said that isn't evidence of a "Post-Truth" world.

LOL. Oh, boy, who ever taught you philosophy sure scammed you...:)

Did anyone ever teach you to actually read?

Good you recognize that since the only gratuitous assertions have been yours.

That's an erroneous summary of Pragmatism and its development and it fails to address its various strains, such as the Pragmatism of William James and...

Now, unless you can actually address my arguments, which you haven't done yet, or you start a new argument about Post-Truth, you and I are done. If yo...

That was quick, apparently you lied about letting the chips fall where they may. And what is actually happening is you formulated an erroneous definit...

Sigh No, you've shown it's easiest to formulate an erroneous definition of a questionable term based on your erroneous reasoning. You've shown nothing...

Do you recognize that's not the problem here or the problem with your reasoning? Don't answer that, I already see you're lost on this.

Its' not interesting that I should admit that since you asked what "Are you objecting to the rise of pragmatism?" when I never said anything about Pra...

I already have in my many arguments on this current thread/discussion,. Can you actually address those arguments for once?

No, I've shown that your explanation for our world being a Post-Truth one does not show we live in a Post-world one. So, I've shown your usage is erro...

It doesn't exist, and you have failed mightily in your attempts to show it does.

This is another huge non-sequitur. It doesn't establish a Post-Truth world at all...just like the rest of your erroneous arguments.

What you claim about "all folk" is irrelevant since it would have to be at least "most folk", and it's not in your hypotheses, for it to be a Post-Tru...

Of course it does, since if only some/a minority of the people are not using the term "Truth,' it's not a Post-Truth word. So, the only non-sequitur w...

As I said before, some folk doesn't mean all folk or even most folk. No Post-Truth.

See my last post on that. It's clear now I can't do anything to help you. Goodbye, Creative.

And you fail to back up your erroneous concern. Ge back to me when you actually address my arguments. Otherwise, I'll let you flail in your silliness.

Try and actually make your point by addressing my arguments. You've been scared to do so so far.

No, that's you. Everything I've said applies to what I was reporting on, and you haven't shown otherwise.

And you sure proved that, Rook.

You clearly are...;) Thanks for showing you couldnt' show my post was a non-sequitur

Sorry, not even close to a non-sequitur, and you haven't shown it was. Try Again.

Not knowing what exactly "Truth" means does not mean we're in a Post-Truth world. In fact, that means we've never lived in a "Truth" world, so we can'...

"Some folk" doesn't even come close to constituting all folk or even most folk. So, no Post-Truth.

The Western powers are far from humane. They joined with America to effectively destroy Iraq and kill millions of Iraqis, leaving the nation a disastr...

Sure, and that's a great combination of having no financial incentive to try and cower NK--the military's main purpose is to keep banks and corporatio...

Exerting military power over or making specific military threats to NK doesn't bring the profits shamefully toppling regimes in countries like Iraq, S...

This is a Slate opinion piece by a journalist with a B.A. It doesn't establish anything. And even the author says this: "As president, Trump has pursu...

Again you fail to back up your erroneous negative claims about me. So, at this point, you're just trolling. And the format doesnt' do the job perfectl...

There is great disagreement about many of these freedoms: Freedom of religion: Many people believe their freedom of religion should allow people to br...

Since I only use the boldings when my longer posts require them (or rarely when I'm pointing out an interlocutor's particular post), and you haven's s...

If you misuse "conscious" that way, it renders the word useless, since nothing is now not conscious.

You seem sure of this. So go ahead and name them.

I never said that. Stop straw-manning me. This is what I actually said in response to your post: "Jake Tarragon Nevertheless, the desire for freedom i...

No, it's not because people all have their owndefinitions of freedom, and one person's freedom is another person's imprisonment; so, they don't all de...

Freedom of choice constitutes far more than freedom from slavery, hence the great variations in people's definitions of the phrase.

It's not 'whataboutism;" it's pointing out the preceding president, Obama, did exactly what you called Trump malevolent for. So, since I assumed you d...

Sorry, streetlight. I posted before I saw the line

Then Obama is certainly malevolent, as well. Since he not only said that, but he actually drone struck and killed a 16 year old son of a terrorist. He...

It's hostile personal attacks like this that make it funny Banno (and others) is talking about me. I've certainly never called anyone a dickhead, and ...

I appreciate your comments, Erik, but I'd also appreciate if you could show me where I was initially cranky. I'm not saying you're lying, but I'd just...

Then you and Noble Dust must feel really (and undeservedly) good about yourselves...:)

Dear god, dude. You just made a bunch of personal attacks on me, and you didn't back up a single one. So, you're just sadly trolling with rage and vit...
