[quote=FlashDangerpants post_id=675727 time=1698400635 user_id=11800] I think it's fitting that Advocate had his stupid narcissism fest stolen by Age, they are both the single greatest philosopher ever to have lived and they have equally convincing claims to the title (along with the other greatest ...

[quote=FlashDangerpants post_id=675496 time=1698328379 user_id=11800] [quote=Advocate post_id=674986 time=1698085420 user_id=15238] You throw accusations of narcissism so easily yet there's literally no philosophy that has ever been better in any respect. [/quote] That's exactly how you would rate y...

[quote=promethean75 post_id=675071 time=1698128998 user_id=16524] Fun fact: the last time I paid rent, it was to stay in a jail that I was wrongfully put in. Three dollars a day I was charged. [/quote] And when/if you're finally adjudicated not guilty, which was supposed to have been assumed by defa...

[quote=promethean75 post_id=675069 time=1698128673 user_id=16524] Oh nice. This one i consider to be one of the fundamental tenants of anarchism. The very first deal breaker between the citizen and the state. You are born into the world without being asked. In this world, if u don't pay somebody to ...

[quote=Age post_id=675035 time=1698101509 user_id=16237] [quote=Advocate post_id=674900 time=1698046485 user_id=15238] When you cease to believe the government has legitimate authority, everything changes. [/quote] When 'you', "advocate", say and use the 'everything' word here 'you' just m...

Was Captain Kidd (1945 movie) justified in doing all he did to get peerage? I say yes. When born into a tiered system that unfairly prevents you from getting access to the best of society through legitimate means you're entitled to use any means necessary to subvert that system. Whether on behalf of...

[/quote] Well I'm about 25% troll so I guess that's 'a' troll. Nah make it 30. [/quote] No. A troll is creative, even i...

[quote=Atla post_id=674990 time=1698086460 user_id=15497] [quote=Advocate post_id=674986 time=1698085420 user_id=15238] There is nothing either narcissistic or irrational about my work. You're talking about the inside of your head, not my philosophy. I challenge you to find any philosopher anywhere ...

What's really telling here isn't anything i've said but the fact that others seem incapable of talking about the ideas instead of the person who said them. Talk about the attributes of legitimacy. Talk about ownership. Talk about the attributes of the best philosophy. If you're not addressing those ...

If you've done much apartment hunting, you know that landlords typically lie to you about the process, ghost you, charge unreasonable background check fees (which are immorally charged to you in the first place), etc. Now if you find a place and don't have the same difficulties, what's the chance th...

[quote=Atla post_id=673850 time=1697633523 user_id=15497] The first one I guess? Looked it up, fail :( Okay correction: there are probably many thousands of geniuses and savants out there who also have this stuff worked out, and many of them would do a better job not oversimplifying it, and presenti...

>FlashDangerpants -blah blah blah. >Advocate just does the same specious thing. One of the sentences below is a quote from advocate defining how you should understand science, how would you tell which?
