Philosophy Now Forum

Up to a point, yes it has. There are many spambot postings every week that never see the light of day on the forum because of the setting system. We look at them , realise they are spam, and kick the spambot off he forum. I think without the vetting system this forum would be completely unmanageabl...

It's more a complaint about this place. Well, to some extent I think this place is openly often personal and not moderated away from that. There are forums that are less like that. More substance. So, if the profile doesn't work for someone, they do have options. Posting "something of substanc...

Someone opened a window and fresh air is blowing into this musty room. Just more talking about each other ... complaining, psychoanalyzing, insulting. Well, to be fussy. You just did that. You could have posted something of substance. It was just so lovely to see someone notice what was so extensiv...

Since when hasn't that been true in all history that the wealthy and famous can get away with acts that individuals not so endowed would never be exculpated from. The last few decades in the US have seen a countertrend. To some degree there has been, over the longer haul, an evening out. It never g...

Just out of interest, where would they rate on the truly moronic scale compared to, say, proposing to restore - in some unspecified manner and to some unspecified extent - a faith system the core tenets of which one rejects, and then complaining when people ask for clarification? It seems to me to ...

You inspire me to add more, Alexis. [Wizard gets an erection, and Alexis runs from the room] The curtain slowly falls. Yes, I wonder if they are ever going to deal with their own split: Wizard being, at root, a Neo-Nietschzian (read acolyte of Satyr) and AJ being a Catholic mystic (or wanting to be...

It seems to me, the Occident is the way 'forward', into the 'future', a true 'progressivism'. But most of the old, is focused on the Old World. Protestants and Evangelicals, are strongly Zionist Israeli-loyalists. They are looking toward the Past. Zionist Jews and Judaism in general, are looking to...

And I can only hope that the terror of being clear is something that subsides for you over time. For myself, I can manage to not ask the follow-up question I would have asked, if such clarity had been present, without suffering more agony then a mild hiccup. You and Wizard do make a nice odd couple...

You seem younger. I would even have been shocked to find out you were W years old.

I'm still not sure if it is mainly on a grand idea level for you now or if you have managed to come into the relationship, direct experiencing of the religion/metaphysics you think is important. I guess you will have to become comfortable carrying on your existence within that proverbial cloud of u...

During that 9 minutes, did he happen to explain how "This statement is not being read" is a paradox rather than just being a proposition that is sometimes true and sometimes false? He spent the entire time explaining, yet nothing was ever explained. I think he might be a genius. 🤔 I hear ...

'We' are, after all, certainly not surprised at all that people like this one here still felt it justifiable to judge others, without ever first learning why all people are exactly as they are. And I (no citation marks) am hardly surprised that people like Age can't even manage to notice what a hyp...

If only you knew "iwannaplato". If only you knew. Could have you missed the fact that I even 'knew' you would think along the lines that you have just shown and proved that you have here now, before I even chose to click on the submit button, let alone said and wrote what I did for a coup...
