Arising, you seem to deny the caravans approaching America with the intent to crash the border. Let's see if they kill 30,00 a year the way guns do. Re: the OP (instead of Americans who clearly have no problem with placing ends before Trumpian means). I remember during my first year of high school ...

I like this, although I think you give up on philosophy too quickly. I work in an environment of builders/inventors/problem-solvers. People who approach things from first principles all the time. The problem-solving process has a semblance of structure, repetition and iteration to it. There is meth...

The simple failure of Philosophy is the absence of negative or positive feedback loops. It is the absence of skin in the game. There's no mechanism to signal errors. No mechanism to filter out the fit from the unfit ideas. And if you can't define "error" and "not-error" - well, ...

Dachshund's passion for "magic wands" is noted.

I'm just anxious to see a picture of the new PC Greta dressed in a jijab following behind a Muslim man who just had to tell her to be quiet. Now that would be real progress. Nice one, Nick !! :D :D :D :D As for me, I'm looking forward to the day when Greta finally comes clean and confesses that she...

I was thinking afterwards that I'd forgotten Stevie Wonder - one of the most freakishly talented musicians of the modern era.

You sound like someone who has never had a loving relationship with a woman. Perhaps also Nietzsche's problem. Good point. The risk is that frustration and bitterness can infect a person's philosophies if they are not of a personality type to ever question themselves. Perhaps the latter is most key...

Dachshund, I don't think anyone will worry about being called "unbalanced", or any of your rich collection of epithets, by you. You have no credibility and most certainly not a conservative as you claim, with your wish to disenfranchise half of the population because they don't have a penis.

I am just making clear that, no, we are not born perfect. No need for a whole song and dance about it.

A lot of complicated answers that I don't understand :) What I see are three abstract objects: 1. the container - the statement 2. the container's contents - that refers to the statement - and 3. true/false assessments of the contents and their relation to the container. I can't put my finger on it...

Harlequin type ichthyosis:

And I sat next to him, which I'd never done before. And at a certain point these stars appeared. I don't think he saw what I saw. But for some reason he happened to say, and his voice was unusual, saying something from that part of the heart to me. I never had that kind of intimate emotional relati...
