Re: Jordan Peterson
.. A once-dominant race staring bleakly into its own demise, impotent to do anything about the gradual tide of reality slowly eating away at its own power base, tries to jump-start a violent pushback with extravagant claims and florid boasts about itself. As history shows, such pushbacks rarely suc...

Re: Trump
The following is taken from a post on a right-wing forum, now closed behind a paywall. It pertains to the American right but one can easily see similarities in right-wing movements across the world. It's rather lowbrow, though: P-Man wrote: This is a slightly larger subject but the right is unteacha...

Re: Is there anyone here genuinely seeking enlightenment?
It doesn't, but it is a necessary component, not just a motivator.
Suffering + reading David's and Kevin's works + honestly, deeply reasoning + some luck = awakening.

Re: Notions of 'objective reality' that keep me troubled - temporal events
Fair enough. Confusing the three, and exploring that confusion is the very basic of existential philosophy. Gaining clarity on this would be wisdom. Sorry for the late reply! I meditated for a few days on, and I came to the following conclusion: Experiences : Experiences are what we see, hear, smel...

Re: Notions of 'objective reality' that keep me troubled - temporal events
Replacing notions of existence with that of appearance does not address anything at all. All you do is call every form of existence "appearance". Right. This confuses me. If existing means appearing, why not drop 'existing' altogether and all things are simply appearances? I'm not trying ...

Re: Increase in Suicides Among Young People
This is interesting. Your definition of Woman is common life. Therefore, do you mean that by desiring common life you are in effect desiring annihalation of your soul?... ...or something else altogether that gets to your core relationship with Woman? My current understanding is this: I see Woman as...

Re: Increase in Suicides Among Young People
Just think about how life was a few hundred years back in Bavaria or wherever. Almost everyone worked the land and stayed within the reach of a village, life mostly revolved around the family (no TV or gaming console or PC). There was far less time for idleness and the free time was collected and us...

Re: The necessary context of action, purpose, and ambition
What does that mean.Leyla Shen wrote:is the demand itself.
I've read Weininger and he wrote something like: The beauty of women does not belong to the individual woman, but to the man who is in love with her.
Does that mean women have nothing of their own, but all belongs to men?

Today someone said about making ice cream: "making ice cream is an art. Ice cream makers are artists." Ice cream isn't necessary for people, it's just a frivolity. The same with art.

man's own thought
Hello everyone, I just noticed my own thoughts aren't really mine at all but come flying in like birds through a window. I can control what kind of thoughts come in by changing my environment, like leaving a dangerous place, thus ending the thought "shit, I'm going to die!". If I see mysel...
