Re: Trump

The left represents too great a decline to the Last Man - it has become utterly feminine rather than working for the working class person. They represent and support completely the weak non-disciplined 'anything goes' views of women. All the media I used to read, when I was sympathetic to the left, ...

Re: Jordan Peterson

I'm a fan. I've described him as my new intellectual hero. Great to listen to, when in the mood. I have not listened to the Maps for Meaning lectures - but I have most of the Personality ones. Maps for Meaning will be next. I think Peterson will have a massive impact on society over time. To me he i...

I wonder if this quote from Kierkegaard, the context of which has been said all along by David and Dan in relation to Kevin, applies.

Re: Statement about Solway and Trump

Moving this thread seems a really girly thing to do for me. It is chock full of interesting philosophical issues.

I really don't give a flying fart about the earnestness some have to enlightenment. I see it as an egotistical pride thing. Just another form of fundamentalism.
