and it give us pause to wonder about his legacy and ours...

Why should this be important and worth pausing for?

There is a lot of truth in this statement but its opposite must also be considered because it exists in volumes. Why would so many souls who, no doubt, consider themselves noble with the best of intentions, congregate around a thoroughly classless piece of human crud like Trump who manifests his de...

That's a timeless truth that applies to everyone.

Except when your time is up.

Prove it.

Since I'm not timeless and the universe isn't timeless, the only timeless truth which remains is there is no such thing as a timeless truth. The most timeless truths are generally those which in their default state negate themselves, only seeming timeless in their longevity. "All I know for su...

Nobility transcends Class. There are Noble souls who are poor, who are middle class, who are rich. Money makes little difference, if any. In fact, more wealth might make it harder for the Noble, because it extends his Duties and Responsibilities. A Noble soul is one which people and the masses grav...

Wednesday, Dubious! Mark Your Calendar!

I remain silent for the duration and await with trepidation!

Gobbledygook. (either that or my brain has got too much mucous from my nose). :wink: ..could be the latter, my cognition is shit since I fell off of a wagon. Well now, that is a very realistic response. It means you know yourself more than most people know themselves. Until that desired moment of r...

..nonsensical, typical poor English from a spawn of England. 8) Serious question! Is it fair to say that most isms in philosophy amount to nothing more than snotisms ? Can snot eventually transform all these superfluous isms into a type of philosophical emergence, leading to a final understanding i...

..ah yes, gobbledygook indeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u7sa6WFhxg It's this extremely practical philosophy called realism which has transformed the Brits into a superior species which they themselves will attest to! 8) Ah shit. Does that make me a realist? Can a Christian be a realist (eve...

So many forms of ism, aren't or, should I say isn't!

...more gobbledygook from yours truly!

I’m too busy to beat on you, Dubious (though note that I do have an opening next Wednesday), but for brevity’s sake: you did not understand what Wizard meant. Your odd brand of psychobabble is clever but empty. It wasn't addressed to you. Speaking of psychobabble, I'm merely occasional while you're...

Can Truth be 'pretended' away? Yes it can, courtesy of those who pretend to have it, consistently negating their pretensions by seeking to verify it. Having a sufficient vocabulary only allows one a pretension to truth, or even if there is such a thing...and if there is, which parts should be disre...
