Socrates, Meno, and the Slave Boy (taken from Plato's Meno)
Socrates, Meno & the Slave boy - by Aaron Mathis (the following essay is for school - but I'd like to hear what you people think) Judging by what I’ve understood from the excerpt I read from Plato’s Meno, it seems to me that Socrates believed that the nature of knowledge should be understood in...

Leyla, cloudy boisterous Nymphet! Why don't you give some thought to the following quotes by one of the greatest hero's of the age, David Quinn? These quotes were taken from the thread on Common assent; 'fashionlogers'. I get the impression Cory has been reading the same thread, or else its an awefu...

Ah, that's a good answer.Nick Treklis wrote:To show that he had no qualms about taking advantage of a man's pitty, as well as his lack of pride.
I don't think Diogones really did this though. I think many stories of diogones were written by some giddy, imaginitive stoics who had a penchant for droll parables.

ho-ho-ho-hardy-har-har. This really doesnt seem that
funny or profound to me. Although I do like diogones. Perhaps the dishwater consciousness of mathis needs to be drained and replaced with some fresh water. Suposedly, Diogenes stood outside a brothel, shouting, "A beautiful whore is like poisoned honey! A beautiful whore is like poisoned honey! A be...

I generally agree with the critiques people have of virtual worlds. What I am wondering: What if everyone on the genius forum interacted in a virtual world instead of on this text based forum? Each member would have a 3D avatar of whatever image, and people would generally gather in locations. Like ...

Re: The innovation of Nintendo is the roots 4 the holodeck t
It is interesting to me that with the real identity of people hidden players begin to interact with one another based on the perceived characteristics of the player's character. A lot of the people I know in real life play, and I was told a while back that it was better to create a female character...

The innovation of Nintendo is the roots 4 the holodeck tree
Click this link , read the enthusiasm of the first two reviews (especially the second review) and then consider the seeds Nintendo is sowing. More and more we are seeing videogames designed as private cyber worlds where humans from all over the globe can stay in their room and explore vast colorful ...

Awareness is a function of consciousness. Now consciousness requires memory. Therefore we can say with certainty that a memory itself cannot be aware, since it is only one of the causes of consciousness, and hence of awareness. Therefore there are some things we can say with certainty do not have a...

This thread is a way for me to compile the things that Kevin says that I don't understand. whenever he says something I don't get, I will be posting the quote on this thread. That way, when I'm prepared to talk about it, I'll be able to easily access these gems that I'd otherwise not be able to call...

Hello again everyone. Aaron Mathis here. This is a reply to Nick’s last post. Aaron: I think that one is doing a great service for mankind, in particulary, by having sex with fat women in their early twenties or late teens. It's heroic to have sex with the fat women. I've had my share. These women...

If I have overcome my attatchment to a sexual partner, parents, friends, self image, food, sex, reputation - - then I have overcome that which leaves me bewildered, frightened, and craving.
