Phew... I almost believe The Shoutbox would have disappeared forever. These have been critical hours, mates. Adrian is already taking his breakfast an...

I remember washing myself and clothes in a creek when I was a toddler. While it was enjoyable to feel the stream flowing through my hands, the governm...

I do the same. I always try to go by walking to places. If it is really away from my home, I use public transport. Both trains and buses have zero emi...

Unfortunately, most Americans regard everything about Hispanic countries as 'trash' or 'poor.' Now it makes sense. I now understand why some represent...

Hey there, chubby smoked salmon, great piece of human existence. My name is Javier. I am 27 years old. I was born in a shed, near a fjord. My childhoo...

No, I can't choose a favourite poem by Neruda because it's been years since the last time I read anything about him. I remember he wrote beautiful ver...

:heart: Your cat in the profile picture always reminds me of Gloria Fuertes' poems. No hay tejados en la Luna, y yo soy gato. No hay poetas en la Luna...

It is a great video. Basically, Mel Baggs shows us the way of communication by autistic and other cognitively disabled people. Instead of trying to le...

Folks, I think Michael was not expecting replies at all because the headline is not worth replying! This is the point—or even solution—to this puzzle.

Thanks, Clarky. Your words cheered me up. :heart: I wrote it in English directly. Not in Spanish, and then I translated it. I definitely will. :cool: ...

I wish I could drink a cup of tea with Miss Nihilson. Enjoying the twilight together. The rain in the window and the whisper of the fallen leaves swep...

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to read the poem, sincerely. :smile:

A poem to read it while you drink tea and eat cookies. I know I am ungrateful.– for not marrying her. I now father the parliament is quite right. I sh...

Why not do both at the same time? Since joining TPF for the first time, I've learnt a lot and discovered new authors on a wide range of topics, such a...

Start reading an introductory book for philosophy—like the one you quoted by W.T. Jones—is obviously important. But since the OP seems to have thought...

Hey, @"Metaphysician Undercover" and @"Ø implies everything". I am reading Fosse again. "Septology" consists of seven different books, but it is inter...

Ah, I get it now. Fantastical nonsense also refers to the crap written in a book by cliché authors. Sorry, I misunderstood you.

Why do fantastic themes have to be senseless? Maybe some readers want to read facts and historical events with accuracy, but I would not call the Ilia...

@"T Clark" Clarky, it has been a while since the last time I shared with you a film recommendation. Today is Friday, so it is film fest in my home. I ...

Yes, you remembered it correctly!

@"Jamal" I found on YouTube the songs that were constantly playing at the museum. I think these are the best versions and fit with the ambient written...

The Other Name: Septology I. by Jon Fosse.

I just finished reading the book. :smile: My thoughts: I) The first 20 pages of the book describes the scenario and perception of the ambient with gre...

123 million Japanese folks do it every time they can. I love my raw-food-eater friends, but it is impossible to understand each other when we try to b...

No way fishes are illiterate or something. Why did Jesus feed the multitude with such a stupid animal then? No logic here, like in most of the Gospels...

Great! If you have that in mind, you should start with Kierkegaard or reading Dostoevsky.

Hello and welcome to the forum, mate. Philosophy is complex and wide. Are you interested in some notions of philosophy or something more specific? Rea...

Well put, ssu. :up:

Yes, it is a Kantian point of view. I know that scientists claim that time and space are external entities, but as I said previously, I tried to expla...

It is true that common sense and illusion can interfere with dreams. Our minds—maybe imposed by social frameworks—always try to have a notion of reali...

and Interesting. So, one of the main issues regarding forming up a quorum or putting in practice "direct democracy" is that most people don't usually ...

What if we made it mandatory form a quorum with at least half of the possible attendees?

@"ssu" Hello, ssu. This sad and tough poster has been around in most Madrid metro and train stations recently. It says: Mum, I want to be Finnish. Chi...

Yeah, why don't we talk about Kundera's or Bioy Casares' books instead? :sad:

Yes, I am very sure about my point. It is dreamy to think that there is a chance to come back to the context prior to October 7th. This date did criti...

Well, in your example, we could agree that we saw the unicorn before because it is a combination of two previous existent elements in our world. A hor...

I agree. Time and space are even experienced in dreams. I usually have a frequent dream where I am in a bar with a classmate of mine. This bar no long...

Interesting posts and points from you all. I think what Corvus had in mind is very important, and I agree with him that while dreaming, we often see p...

Carlos, your optimism is—let's say— outstanding. Yeah! Thanks Israel! No... Let's get back to reality. Sinwar was a terrorist and the main objective o...

Yeah, tit for tat, mate. How does the does the Gaza population dare to think of revenge in the long term? Prepare for the next generations of young Ha...

Okey-dokey. :up:

The Invention of Morel, Adolfo Bioy Casares. Back to Casares and his great and pure style. Thank you, @"Jamal", for suggesting this novel to me a mont...

Fine. Afterwards, he would say that war is not yet over because Lebanon and Gaza are a threat to their security standards; Iran is 'funding' them, and...

If only Netanyahu would dare to think like you... I agree that the 42K deaths also include Hamas members. But I think it is disproportionate to bomb t...

Whatever. I admire your innocence, Carlos. :smile: Yeah, the conflict has been there for around eighty years, and 42K innocent people have died since ...

I was expecting a reply like that. Do you seriously believe that Bibi will stop the massacre after releasing the hostages? Sinwar was a big prize; now...

Now that Sinwar passed away—who was the main objective of Israel since October 7th—Netanyahu would like to stop killing civilians in Gaza and Lebanon,...

One Direction star Liam Payne dies after falling from hotel balcony in Buenos Aires I never was a fan of One Direction, but I remember how these mates...

I hardly see individual freedom from the Kundera's characters since they live in a scenario where a group of old people (the latter is clearly a metap...
