Philosophy Now Forum

… VA shouldn't be allowed to flood the forum with hundreds of threads … I believe that’s an exaggeration. If it were a flood of hundreds of threads, you’d have a point and I might agree that ignoring VA isn’t enough. But it isn’t a flood of hundreds of threads, and so you don’t have a point and I’m...

So like you only engaded him 3 times instead of 10-20? Someone should document this unprecedented act of self-restraint. Ah, you are employing irony to fudge the missing premises in your argument. There's no suggestion my restraint has been unprecedented, merely that I have been able to exercise it...

I will unilaterally ignore VA for the rest of the month. I hope you and Atla and FDP join in. Okay, in fact I'll ignore him permanently from now on, not just for a month. I don't care either way anyway, since this forum already died some 4 years ago exactly because of the likes of VA, and I only co...

You can't really ignore VA … I can. And I do. Maybe you lack the will? You don't seem to comment on the kind of topics that VA does. There's not much overlap, true. But the intersection between us is not empty, and yet the number of occasions when I might have engaged with him and didn't far outnum...

Also, I'd like to point out that VA has organized a 5-or-so-year-long, angry, obsessive, relentless witch hunt against anyone here who is more or less a "philosophical realist". It borders on insanity. Rather reminiscent, in fact, of the more-than-7-year-long obsessive, relentless (and ye...

Still the greatest philosopher of all time.

Never mind that, but why is his billiard table deep neon blue?

This is fucking stupid. Every day he posts another "what is truth" or "what is fact" and another thread demanding satisfaction from Pete. Can he not just be forced to keep all his FSRC shit in one FSRC thread? And maybe just ban him if he can't control himself? When they started...

You don't seem to comment on the kind of topics that VA does. I don't even know who you are.

Sounds like someone whose posts you would want to ignore, dude? You can't really ignore VA and to a lesser extent Age and Skepdick. All they do is go around destroying topics, and VA in particular is flooding the forum every day with his unhinged repetitive ad hom threads and godawful philosophy th...

No I think those are neither beliefs nor views, but the TRUTH. I think the category is called the TRUTH. Certain, irrefutable, infallible, absolute TRUTH. If he called it that, then that's what I was looking for. Age is saying that humans are insane for forming views and beliefs, when they should b...

But surely he knows the password FSRC to calculate it. Age doesn't need to remember any passwords. By being TRULY OPEN and just listening, the infallible voices from the ether will whisper to Age any knowledge Age requires, including passwords and such. It is only because Age is an infinitely humbl...

Except there's one big problem: VA has forgotten his password. But surely he knows the password FSRC to calculate it. Age doesn't need to remember any passwords. By being TRULY OPEN and just listening, the infallible voices from the ether will whisper to Age any knowledge Age requires, including pa...

Now that I'm somewhat able to translate Kant into plain effing English: What has happened is that Kant set up a dichotomy: transcendental idealism vs transcendental realism. And then he argued for transcendental idealism, and against transcendental realism. But this is basically independent of the p...
