Re: missing threads

It's looking that way, yes. I don't know how many boards are destined to have no real restoration of threads at all but it certainly seems as though we're one of them.

Hence my notion of renaming the board "Mandala".

Re: Success is a fragrant smell!

You said the writer within is not doggeral - I'm saying they essentially are if what they produce is doggeral.

Re: Greatest thing of all

Silentsal asked:

Exactly, and not just a simple attachment but a serious dependence on it, which is why I characterised it as ignorant and insane.

Re: Asceticism

I think the only real benefit to a copyright notice in this situation is to dissuade the foolish from decimating, dissembling and disseminating another version and thereby using it irresponsibly.

Re: Ontological Thought Experiment

Anselm was one of the so-called "Schoolmen" of the early Xian (Catholic) Church - along with people like Aquinas. His Ontological Argument was explicitly an argument for the existence of the Xian God.

What surfaces and is outwardly expressed reflects that which lies whithin. Therefore, you are wrong.

Re: Success is a fragrant smell!

Of itself it means precisely nothing to be a published writer. Adolf Hitler was a published writer.

Anyone can get dross and doggeral published. We live in an indiscriminate world so what else would one expect.

Re: Greatest thing of all

One is merely a prelude to the other. Of course, the person who desires happiness does so out of ignorance of its true nature.

To want to remain ignorant seems pretty insane as well.

Re: Genius dating agency

Trust is a psychological trait exhibited by those who experience fear at possible outcomes. The Genius has no such fear.

The Genius has no need of trust. Trust is for people who lack knowledge and are attached.

Pity about the formality of the debate structure. Strikes me as a little bit academically anal.
