Philosophy Now Forum

For you to talk about any possible failure of plausible reasoning is just annoying. If you were asked to as in Nick_A's video, summarise my views on things (anything), I am sure you'd fail miserably. MISERABLY. That's the bottom line. All of your insults, all of your criticism. You think nihilism sh...

Great video Nick, cause for self-reflection indeed...

Perhaps the greater problem for communication than the inadequacies of our language is our intent.

LMAO, FANDOM? Logik... you kill me... Ad-hominem to undermine you... have you forgotten the things you've said to me instead of arguments? If you tried to disprove your own hypothesis about me you did a terrible job. You've been wrong about near everything I suppose, at least that which I am an auth...

I never asked you for humility Logik, you don't understand, this is a philosophy forum. From my perspective, you are a fool to even think that there are "winners" and "losers" here. "Judaka accused me of lying... figure out who the idiot is" who the fuck are you talking...

Logik Well, your stance is ridiculous, defining a word is the act of making it clear what that word means when you say it. Your idea is pure IDEALISM, there's not a single benefit to throwing out the dictionary and the alternative you're presenting is unworkable - as you've shown already. You made y...

Judaka, you had nothing to say about the mobbing and stereotyping of the weak but spoke up strongly against the stereotyping of conservatives. // mirror Mobbing and stereotyping of the weak? Nick_A seems more concerned with the actual OP, Walker is indeed being ridiculous and I've said as much and ...

Logik You may have a point that the best way to address an argument is to first establish what each party is trying to achieve but as far as my point in this thread is concerned, the reality is that you made a lot of assertions in the thread "pragmatism vs principles" which I know aren't t...

Nick_A Language is a very complicated issue, it's so complicated that I don't think a forum like this is a worthwhile place to discuss it. I just had this long debate with Logik in the pragmatism vs principles thread, where communication pretty much entirely broke down over a difference in the usage...

Nick_A I think it's the same every time... I can agree with you that many secular progressivess are not thinking deeply about things generally, they talk in absolutes and appear to lack introspection from a big picture perspective. I would also agree with perhaps a more left-leaning person like Gret...

Greta I understand you felt it was obvious what you meant but at least two people (Frank n Stein and Spheresofbalance) whether seriously or not, have defended your stance of hating all conservatives. I don't think it's fair to judge me too harshly for thinking that something so unreasonable might be...

Nick_A Lol, Nick, I think superficiality was always hip and I don't think the world ever had any awareness of the big picture. Some people lean on certain views that rely on absolutes, depending on them for understanding the world and their place in it. Nuance doesn't fit anywhere and so it's easier...

Anyone who calls himself 'conservative' is stating that he agrees with a certain set of ideas and political ideologies. It says some very definite things about that person's character. It indicates an unempathetic and rather mean-spirited personality, not to mention short-sighted, selfish and unima...

What are you talking about? I'm not saying you shouldn't defend your beliefs, standing up for your beliefs or refrain from arguing against the people in this thread. I'm not defending any of the individuals in this thread. I'm really referring to this comment: This seems to just be just conservativ...

My comment has nothing to do with any of those things... lol For you it's either "you're with me or you're against me" and there's no middle ground. All I asked is for you to be a bit more level-headed in your dealings with people and that has nothing with your opinion on the topic. You kn...

As you are aware, all it takes is to make an attempt at fair mindedness rather than failing to question one's intrinsic biases. The irony is thick... Even if others' are as hateful as you claim, shouldn't you at least strive to be better than them? You only stoop to their level and indulge in more ...
