For the discussion of all things philosophical, especially articles in the magazine Philosophy Now.

Sounds like a good idea to me. We've never wanted forum areas to proliferate ad infinitum, but Environmental Philosophy has become a respectable field of philosophy in its own right. It is also crucial to human survival in a way that some areas of philosophy probably aren't, and lots of people want to talk about it. So, fine by me. I'll just compare notes with the moderators, but if they are good with it we'll set this up.attofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 4:11 am Hi Rick
Any chance we could get a dedicated discussion area for the environment?
Mankind is facing possibly its greatest challenge to date with its impact on the place we all call home.
Discussion suggestions could include:- Population growth, Capitalist system and it's ethics\responsibility, Political challenges, Climate change, Plastic waste, Clean energy, Water use\allocation etc etc...
Cheers
Great suggestion, Attofishpi! Most of what we discuss in here is akin to how many angels can fit on the head of a pin when compared to the stewardship of our planet.RickLewis wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 12:21 pmSounds like a good idea to me.

Yes... was going to delete your "dumb Americans" thread but I like that one post by Luxin in the thread so have hesitated. I'll find a solution.
(NOTE: When I first typed "I'll find a solution" above, I hit one wrong key and my words immediately autocorrected to "I'll find absolution". Not sure what to make of that.)
That's hilarious, Atla. You've made almost 3,000 posts on this forum despite it being a "total disgrace" and apparently (judging by your words "which suggests") you haven't even glanced at the magazine that pays for and runs the forum you enjoy.
