Philosophy Now Forum

Please advise:
JetJason suggested the idea of creating a discussion salon of sorts. JetJason's role model is Madame Pompadour:

My role model is Rahel Vanhagen:

I have set up an account -- [email protected] -- in order to discuss philosophy live online. Perhaps it is like video conferencing?!!? I have a webcam on my laptop and no clue as to how to use it but heck, I can learn. Also, I use UBUNTU.
Any practical advice and tips you might offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, RachelAnn

cool, my msn is [email protected]

My msn is [email protected], I'm happier typing than using my webcam.

It works !, i chatted with psychonaut yesterday, think we shall meet at the radio 3 free thinking festival later this year, hurahhh for weby fingies

I recommend msn to everyone!
I am often online and available for a philosophical chat. I'm not scary, look, cute little monkies!

Bear with me on this:

It is my attempt at a dialoguing doo-hickie!!!
Please visit and let me know what more I can or should or ought not do. I'd like to discuss Philosophy Now forum stuff with others on occasion.

All seems to be working and in order

I prefer MSN as a discussion tool, to things such as the facebook messenger.

More about Rahel Van Hagen:
"Hannah Arendt was arrested in her early days for doing work on a Jewish philosopher in the late 1800s, Rachel van Hagen. Arendt's attitude towards Van Hagen is that they were all tricked out of their political nature with the idea of romanticism. Van Hagen ran one of the most celebrated Goethe salons in Germany and Arendt says, Yes, that's fine, but don't you realise that what they've done is to say that you can be a pure individual, you can be a romantic, pure individual as long as you stay out of politics." --Alan Saunders--

Hey, you!

Count me in: MSN - [email protected] ! I have a webcam too!

this is working, we are reaching out, across the web,into instant communications !!!!

I hope Psychonaut and JSJ enjoy their love-in. I'm a little jealous but have very good reasons for protecting my anonymity. It's a drag, as they say. I wish I could be more open - more ME. Sadly, I need to keep some distance behind a daft name (after my favourite film btw) and that is how it is.

I love the thought os some live chat or attending a conference/event/open day/freaky happening but...I move in restrictive circles, mainly professional. I can't do anything wihtout an enhanced CRB check in my line of work and that looks set to continue.

I wish you well and am with you in spirit.



Responsibility comes at too great a price for me.

can you not use msn/facebook with a false identity ?

a lot of famous people are all over the web, with the same problemo

Yes, like me.
Anyhoo, MSN doesn't even require false details; it doesn't require details at all.

I haven't done any webcammage with the philosophy now people, and don't intend to.

Howard from the Big Bang theory wrote:It somehow feels wrong to use a webcam without being naked

Nono, it's all textual for me, which though it sounds like sexual, is sadly not.

"It somehow feels wrong to use a webcam without being naked"

are you a webcam girl ?

do you go by the name of tabitha, quote sartre and have been known to strip at stringfellows

not that i may know you, oh no

If I revealed my naked butt in front of the webcam, the world would never eat cottage cheese again.
