Age I've probably provided more than 5 examples so far, if they are not what you expected then you have the opportunity to provide a context and we can talk about it but I'm unsure what's wrong with my examples thus far. I've seen your main argument being made about various things like intelligence,...

Age Yes, I think that it's self-evident that you'd want your arguments to be based on facts and not misinformed perspectives or coincidences. People who lack self-awareness also seem to lack that kind of grounding of knowing how much they don't know and realising what their goals should be in philos...

Nick_A I can see where you're coming from. I'm referring to self-awareness as a basis from which to launch plenty of philosophical questions rather than some kind of alternative. It could quite simply in the context you're referring to, talk about the necessity for Jacob Needleman's self-awareness t...

Are you talking about the Australian liberal party? The party that's full of global warming-denying, creationist religious nut-jobs???? Nobody's perfect... :D As I've said, liberal party has been incompetent, undependable and ineffective. They haven't been totally immune to some of the problems reg...

Happiness seems often oversimplified for the purpose of creating an overarching argument about it for the purpose of controlling people or offering absolutes or false wisdom. Happiness is actually a very interesting, multi-faceted and complicated thing - OP and others make it seem like happiness has...

And for the record going to draw a distinction between self-awareness in psychology and general self-awareness/social self-awareness. Somebody could be self-aware about their thoughts, sub-conscious thoughts and such and be considered self-aware in a psychological sense where it's between you and a ...

I'd like to offer an opinion about self-awareness, where philosophy goes wrong and why certain people don't really need philosophy at all. The basis for the latter claims is that the ways in which one learns about self-awareness and the self-awareness itself is the same as having a very realistic, p...

So you can write like a normal human being Eodnhoj!! Though after reading some of the content, perhaps it is better to go back to your previous writing style... people will take you more seriously when they can't understand what you're saying. I am so glad you are wise and know so much. You tell me...

Actually Nick_A I got rid of your post as it was once again one of your American-centric politically driven diatribes, which I for one am becoming heartily sick of not least because of your refusal to engage with any point that highlights errors in your thinking with respect to Philosophy and those...

Lie down and listen to some music even if you're not tired, eventually, you'll get bored and things might pop into your head on what you wish you were doing or could be doing and might give you some insight.

Hi Gaffo I didn't know what an old soul was but I do share a lot of similarities so good call. I value any and all 3rd parties to break the sham one party rule Democracy is problematic in this sense isn't it? Democracy performs best when it's harmless, innocent incompetence but the problems with dem...

Logik. You only hear what you wish to hear. I recognised the problems that you speak of, I don't deny their existence. From categorisation to words and both interpretations and characterisations. The problem is deeper than you've described. Yet you have no further insight, you've only offered unreal...

you've blatantly misused dozens of words Alert! Alert! We have a linguistic prescriptivist. This could be forgivable if we lived in Nazi Germany or Communist Russia, but we don't. you make no effort to be understood and it's a bit sad to watch. Translation "You make no effort to put your ideas...

Once again Eodnhoj, you've blatantly misused dozens of words and perhaps even a majority of your statements barely make sense. I offered you examples before of when you've done this and you didn't want to acknowledge them. Now you're telling me it's a matter of perspective. It isn't. I could choose ...
