Probably because the subject does not believe in social interactions. I guess he thinks he will end up being hurt or disappointed. So he pretends isol...

I would change “divisible” for tangible. All sensible objects are tangibles because we can use it or modified for our own desire respecting the laws o...
March 20, 2021 at 16:59
But then you also say: This is the paradox about the debate. How can you say morality, reality, and physics only exists if we can observe it but then ...

I think happiness can exist without love. Considering this one so “subjective” and codependent because in love is needed to be loved to. But happiness...
March 20, 2021 at 16:04
I feel the same thought of always. Living is painful. Simple. We can not truly know how to be happy or at least finding a scenario with regular life a...
March 20, 2021 at 13:23
True. This point is interesting. Because back in time in his loneliness time he was somehow tired or frustrated of what is going around him. As you sa...

I think he was referring to isolation as an act of not sharing with others. As you said, I can hang out with friends o people but I can feel lonely. B...
March 20, 2021 at 13:07
True but somehow introverted people tend to go more loneliness than extroverted ones because it isnjust their nature. We can see it in the pandemic co...

Yes I already know that story. It is emotional and impacting. I remember an important scene where Christopher burned a few dollars as a metaphor of le...
March 19, 2021 at 17:08
This is what I was questioning about. I think there is no obligation to stay with others but it looks like for some researchers that somehow we are fo...
March 19, 2021 at 16:28
It is meaningful since the importance for human knowledge. As Descartes said cogito ergo sum Since the exactly moment we are available to think and th...
March 19, 2021 at 15:06
I am agree with you. I think is difficult disentangle ideology or background experience to get an original about human nature. I guess the day we can ...
March 19, 2021 at 14:42
Lol :rofl: well I don’t care if the people don’t recognise it because I will always show the flag of my city instead. Madrid! Spain is full of regiona...

Love is a serious mental disease. - Plato. Love is a madness - Socrates. I guess it depends which philosophers we are talking about. Those from romant...

I think these claims from Bakunin not only comes from his personal experience but their political ideology. He rejected all state or political system ...
March 19, 2021 at 13:59
No. It won’t work the class work theory. If a quite perfect system as URSS fell down don’t expect this again in our lives. Why they ended? Because the...
March 19, 2021 at 12:57
Yes because we humans tend to different us from each other through different labels. It is weird but people do this. When we see or visit a country wi...
March 19, 2021 at 12:50
Agree. We just do social relationships and communities because we literally need it. This is our reality. It is interesting why scientific researchers...
March 19, 2021 at 12:46
It is true that I did not see it that way. As you perfectly explained it before if I isolate myself because I want it is quite selfish because I don’t...
March 19, 2021 at 12:41
Agree. But this is just another character inside of American nationality/customs symbolism I guess all the pacifists and hippies movement criticised t...
March 19, 2021 at 11:25
Nationality (supposedly) is made about people’s customs,heritage, history, religion and ideas. The flag is just propaganda and easy symbolism. Neverth...

Thank you for sharing it with me. I am going to check it out.
March 19, 2021 at 06:29
@"Wayfarer" This point is interesting. I understand now what Frege is trying to tell us. I like that characteristic of “timelessness” and so he is som...
March 19, 2021 at 05:19
True. We live in an era where a huge number of citizens use their income just to pay the house and bills. Around a 50 or 60 % of the salary is attache...
March 18, 2021 at 20:17
Competitiveness. This what Marx was rejecting back in the time. Remember that Karl Marx was so opposed against the idea of State and he wanted to esta...
March 18, 2021 at 19:03
You perfectly explained it here. A clever governor is who makes advantage of those who are not admitted in high society. It is a social paradox becaus...
March 18, 2021 at 18:06
We live in the capitlism era. This means having money or at least a decent salary can provide you enter in the culture circle (books, theaters, univer...
March 18, 2021 at 17:43
I guess we live in different countries and this is why we have different perception of politicians. At least in my homeland they don't anything proper...
March 18, 2021 at 16:28
You are not wrong. Berkeley escalated a bigger step trying to emphasise what powerful the consciousness instead of trying to explain what is going on ...
March 18, 2021 at 14:45
Thomas Hobbes: Homo homini lupus. Humans tend to be destructive to each other so humanity is dangerous by nature. Karl Marx: The human is humble by na...
March 18, 2021 at 13:28
Interesting point of view as all the debate you opened here. But I am somehow disagree in Frege’s laws of thought explaining those axioms were suppose...
March 18, 2021 at 11:42
Yes. They are people as us but not normal citizens. Keep in mind that before getting the power all of those politicians had previously to win “primari...
March 18, 2021 at 09:36
Politics and politicians do not have empathy. So don’t expect empathy from something that never had it. They divide people and family because these ar...

When Spain adopted a democratic constitution back in 1978 and in 1982 the socialist party won the elections they were asked if they were still being M...
March 18, 2021 at 07:25
Yes. It is exists in the US and all of the developed/first world countries. I guess there is a country which is even more racist than U.S. and it’s Ja...
March 18, 2021 at 06:14
“Nobody is relevant” sounds quite selfish. It remembers me when Bakunin wrote a letter to his parents asking why there are people who live alone. He c...
March 18, 2021 at 05:17
Yes I think so too. As you said this practice should be taught to everyone because there are some persons who is difficult to them avoid painful situa...
March 18, 2021 at 05:12
First of all, I am sorry of what your son experienced but he is lucky of having an intelligent parent who provides wisdom to learning more about life....
March 17, 2021 at 17:46
Therefore, the policy of erudite is about void the mind of men and fill their stomachs. Debilitating their initiatives and strengthening their bones. ...
March 17, 2021 at 15:58
This example is important and perfect. Here we see how literally Y the pessimistic survives better in the jungle because he prefers to being more open...
March 17, 2021 at 07:26
Accurate. But sometimes a pessimistic philosopher does not depend on being happy or sad. I guess he is realistic but with a sense of negativism avoidi...
March 17, 2021 at 06:24
Yes. Of course it is an act that we humans inside our knowledge call it “counting” just to put an order in our reality as you said towards how numbers...
March 16, 2021 at 21:23
From the revenue of the tax income. Thus, citizens effort to maintain the state. But the revenue obtained shouldn’t be invest in military services I g...
March 16, 2021 at 17:46
Yes, because scepticism doesn’t provide expectations at all. It is similar to nihilism. Sorry but I guess I am confused and I am making a big knot bet...
March 16, 2021 at 13:37
This is not stoicism but scepticism
March 16, 2021 at 13:13
I have to admit it. I am negative/pessimistic and sometimes I jump so easily to the nihilistic pit. But I guess these are the right points to start th...
March 16, 2021 at 12:53
We are speaking about mass not specific objects. If we say 2 apples and 2 lemons we know it is not equal 4 because we are speaking of different concep...
March 16, 2021 at 10:11
I guess they do. Because the question is why 2 + 2 is 4 when supposedly it is not proven. He said is just “trivial” but if you count your fingers, sti...
March 16, 2021 at 10:02
I would put exactly the same but as fingers. 2 plus 2 equals 4 because we literally count it with our hands. I guess this is the best proof. . I guess...
March 16, 2021 at 09:53
I wish we can see it one day. We already did the first step of supplanting science and ethics instead of religion/clergy authority. This is the beggin...
