But I think perhaps you meant to put a comma there.

I'll put a comma next time then, moron. Go to hell where your lying, conniving brain belongs. This is a philosophy forum, not a cult.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2023 2:10 amI do know you...at least a bit.

Lots of people hear voices, but only a few have written them down in ways which infuence history, philosophy, and morality. When Comparative Religion is taught in universities, it is one of the Humanities, along with literature, art history, languages and other seminal and influential works on which humans have expended their talents and efforts. You could equally say: "Novels (or the German language) are just what someone dreamed up. I won't bother with them."Gary Childress wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2023 2:06 amNo one knows moron.

Baby steps bro. U gotta be smarter than the quote function first... then u can advance to smartest philosopher.
Is the world not teetering on the apocalypse; Global climate and habitat crises, expanding and intensifying wars, pandemics? There's no God. The saints and prophets were just having psychoses that people happened to find agreeable and pleasing. Their psychoses were no less delusions. They had nothing to do with reality.Alexiev wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:17 amLots of people hear voices, but only a few have written them down in ways which infuence history, philosophy, and morality.

Fine. But why insult people who like them? Why denigrate the efforts of prophets, saints and scholars whose dilligence and intelligence far exceed your (and my) own?

You dance and say nothing as though it's important to dance. Why is that?Walker wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 1:34 pmNews Flash
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
- Dickens
Dickens certainly got to the objective root of the way things are, didn’t he now.
Finding this root from an unapproved source does not kill the root.
Did Dickens make this up, or did Dickens discover this? Are these just words, or does their meaning in relationship to one another say just the way things are for folks throughout history, since the beginning of time, for all time?
Question: Why are things this way?
Answer: Because duality of form and mind offers advantages of survival for the individual human, and thus the species homo sapiens. Two eyes, two ears, two connected halves of the brain, and most importantly, two fast feet to run from predators and maneuver while stalking their prey, not to mention other fun things like dancing to celebrate this and that.
Duality also has drawbacks such as applying a template of, either this or either that upon thoughts and perceptions.
Duality is an intrinsic imperative of the species that creates dualistic constructs to bolster notions. Duality activates the alertness for the lion lurking around the next bush.
They say you haven't lived until you've had the Dickens (the way of the world) scared out of you.
