Philosophy Now Forum

Even if I can't stand a person with all my soul, and somewhere deep in my heart, I wish him the worst... I still can't add them to the blacklist. I always feel as if I can deprive myself of some crucial information in this way - the person won't get through to me. But here's the funny thing: I regre...

Because it's all pretty funny and I'm bored, I like to encounter new and bizarre things, kinds of crazy I somehow haven't yet seen, it's fun to try to understand them. It reminds me that mankind can't be fixed. Though I'm rarely here anymore. (Plus every now and then, like once every few months, so...

I agree - sometimes topics here die in the heat of the discussion. Too bad yours got lost too. It seems like enough time has passed. How is your essay now? About the editing, I like it the other way around. You're just getting already written page to perfection. And the moment when the only thing yo...

Ask the next hundred English speakers you know what the eight principles parts of speech are, what a gerund, infinitive, or participle is, what a subject and predicate are, what verb agreement means, what the antecendent of a pronoun is, or what the almost-lost subjunctive mode is? Ask them why alm...

This isn't a philosophy forum so there's nothing to argue about, philosophy here died years ago. It's an online mental institue / trash can for schizophrenics and all kinds of other folks who got banned from every other forum, but desperately need an outlet, so they ended up here. If you have a mil...

I think it's like the difference between misinformation and disinformation (and there is also malformation). Each has its nuances. And in general, "verification" is an easy check, I'd say for yourself. At the same time, "proof" is a well-reasoned argument to convince the interloc...

I noticed that many people aren't happy with what is happening on the forum, so I decided to express my opinion. What exactly is the problem? Is it the toxicity? No one likes to waste time on trolls or pointless debates. But isn't arguing the same as a discussion? Isn't discussion the same thing tha...

"Johnny B. Goode" from "Back to the Future" for sure.

You're goddamn right.

I think it's easier to talk about difficult ones: Japanese, Chinese, Russian and Arabic.

We can't say that by reading the book and imagining its events in your head, you become a kind of the author. It's only your interpretation of the events already described by the book's author. Word of mouth in a sense.

But of course, masks (like seatbelts) don't work if you don't bloody wear them! So much of the debate is misrepresentation on behalf of those who don't want to wear masks. They are saying "Just because you are making it mandatory I am not going to abide to your mandate". It's a self-fulfi...

Yet the site is based on a rather old and primitive platform (phpbb). So complaining is pointless. It remains only to wait for the moderators.

It's a pleasure to meet you all, folks. My name's Kenneth, and I'm from Birmingham. I don't remember why, but I've decided to google something on this magazine. That's how I came across this forum. And I thought, how long it's been since I've been part of a community like this? So why not give it an...
