Re: What's stopping us from seeing the truth?
creative asked: What is "the fold" Satyr. Satyr replies: All good things to those who wait. Are you voluntarily entering into a moral obligation to offer me something "good"? I mean, can I hold you to that? On my view the term "good" is usually not worth using, as it c...

Re: What's stopping us from seeing the truth?
Here comes the pep-squad. Satyre is an idiot's projection machination, a reflective combination of that which has previously confounded. An ongoing perpetuation of unsolved and mistaken thought. Void of introversion. False premisses and good form cannot possibly lead to true conclusions, and neither...

Re: ~~~ Worst Philosophy in the History of Mankind ~~~
Bill,
Your eagerness to commend everyone is odd. You're commending fundamentally opposed positions.

Unions demand sharing the wealth/security. Some owners will vehemently argue against the notion.

Oh yeah, since I'm feeling a little humorous today, regarding your calling me a "boy"...
Feel again.

Re: What's stopping us from seeing the truth?
Brilliant. More bollocks. No reason for me to continue a philosophical discussion with another who... 1. thinks that s/he has it all figured out while simultaneously denying that which has been necessarily presupposed within every expression they've made. -- Do I find other flaws throughout the rejo...

Re: What's stopping us from seeing the truth?
Satyr: Two things... First, the truth is a human abstraction of reality. Therefore it is relative the the mind constructing it. This needs justified, as it looks suspiciously incoherent/inconsistent/self-contradictory. Presupposing that reality is different than what we think it is necessarily invo...

Re: What's stopping us from seeing the truth?
Remove "the" from "the truth" and you'll begin to be able to see truth aright. Truth is central to everything thought/believed and spoken. Attempts to deny this, presuppose their own truth...necessarily so, and therefore remove the ground upon which they, themselves depend. It is...

Re: ~~~ Worst Philosophy in the History of Mankind ~~~
In America, the employment laws that have been written outside the scope of worker safety legitimize owner/corporation moral belief. The tax laws are not the only reason that the gap between the wealthy and the poor is so immense. If it were only so simple.

Re: ~~~ Worst Philosophy in the History of Mankind ~~~
While I do not and would not agree with the everything said in/by the OP, the general sentiment is almost on target. Here's a quick... very quick... mind-dump. The opposition has mentioned a fact, at least up until very recent history that is. The fact being that organized labor has had steadily dec...

Re: A brief nicety...
creative: Chaz, I'm asking a direct question. What constitutes being "universal" on your view? chaz: It's your assertion , so why not make it? I have. You objected without grounding the objection. Objection to X requires grounds. Now, the only ground for objecting to my use of the term &q...

Re: A brief nicety...
Regarding this... creative: Doesn't the fact that I've already described the entirety of your position grab your attention in any way? chaz: In your dreams! Your making yourself look bad. From page one of this thread... Chaz: I reject any claim, i think, that morality can be anything beyond which pe...
