True Believer Eddie [to reporter]: I’m not saying there was a conspiracy. Law enforcement is too disorganized for that. No, I suspect sloth was the culprit – lassitude. My client made a convenient patsy… Sloth, okay. Sloth and conspiracy. Roger [after Eddie was beaten up by ex-Aryan Army member]: I...

Slavoj Žižek “...you are given the freedom of choice on one condition. that you make the right choice.” For example: you are free to reject Jesus Christ as your personal savior. God is then free to send you to Hell. Roger Penrose tried to conceive the unconscious as the space of superposition of th...

Once a great lawyer for The Cause, now a cynical defender of druggie scumbags. You know where this is going. But it still works. It draws you into a world that exposes the yawning gap between the textbook version of our criminal justice system and the reality that is “a harrowing maze of unscrupulou...

Uh-oh.... It's back: the lag time. Or is it just me? Also, on three occasions this morning I've encountered this: 500 Internal Server Error Just for the record... Over at ILP, my quotes thread has garnered about 50 views in the past week. Here, it has garnered nearly 10,000 views. Bots? How about c...

The Illusion of Illusionism Raymond Tallis sees through a physicalist confusion. In his most detailed development of the hard/easy distinction, Chalmers’ list of ‘easy’ problems in the philosophy of mind includes: how the brain can discriminate, categorize, and react to environmental stimuli; our ca...

Turns out that the 500 Internal Server Error pops up from time to time when you click on the Philosophy Now magazine site itself.

So, it's not just the forum? Are bots going after...everything here?

As a connoisseur of all things dasein I am drawn to identities that are profoundly shaped [distorted, disfigured] in childhood. By way of trauma, for example. Is this a realistic portrayal of that? Probably not. But it is certainly possible to imagine events like this unfolding. If only approximatel...

I’ll bet there were a lot more kids like this after the movie came out. If you know what I mean. There must be millions of them by now. And, if anything, even more mindless today. But, for many, it’s not that they are immoral that disturbs them —it’s that they are amoral. Utterly narcissistic…hedoni...

American Beauty Lester: Oh, yeah, and one more thing, from now on we’re going to have alternate dinner music because frankly - and I don’t think I’m alone here [looks in Jane’s direction] - I’m tired of this Lawrence Welk shit! Democracy! Carolyn: You ungrateful little brat! Just look at everything...

Epistemology “Scientists study only those aspects of the universe that it is within their gift to study: what is observable; what is measurable and amenable to statistical analysis; and, indeed, what they can afford to study within the means and time available.

Now "Internal server error" Me too. But "out of the blue" it's back up. To the best of my recollection, both ILP and PN used the phpBB forum software. Now, Carleas has switched to another format and the view counts -- bots? -- are no longer a problem. At least for now. Start her...
