    Actually,I really like that analysis.
    I prefer the poetic,religious mythical/metaphorical type of reasoning. Even the anecdotal! But still compressed in general.

    Plato is a funny one. He writes sometimes religiously,and other times like a condensed Hegel! Yet he hates poets for their supposedly subversive character. (Truthful=subversive!)

    Im glad to hear you value clarity and brevity,and aspire to it.

    Thank you for the welcome!

    @T clark Yes,I like the joke!
    I hear and agree with you,a writer can be clear but lack truth and depth.
    But the guys I'm talking about had good ideas and were concise clear writers as well. That's the general point I'm making.

    @Outlander. I like it! But are my posts not enough???!
    What do you think of novelists as philosophers and good writers? Eg Poe, Dostoevsky,shakespeare,Stinberg etc.
    My point is novelists and playwrights are sometimes great and concise philosophers.
    Even better than the real thing!!!

    @Outlander. You misunderstand me a little.

    Both Nietzsche and Schopenhauer write stories,use entertainment/comedy and especially saliently,use real life examples of psychology to illustrate their ideas.

    I see many people who like Kant or Hegel because it's a badge of honour to have read their supposedly difficult books. But basically they are bad writers!

    Thank you for the welcome and praise outlander!
  • In Support of Western Supremacy, Nationalism, and Imperialism.
    @NOS4A2 As a fellow anarchist I concur with this.
    It is only Authoritarians,control freaks and the ignorant who want to culturally hegomonise and use group violence as a means to enforce economic slavery.
  • In Support of Western Supremacy, Nationalism, and Imperialism.
    @Wayfarer As an English born Muslim I always find the ignorance and disinformation regarding Islam and Muslims atonishing,especially amongst otherwise intelligent people.
    It's equivelent to the west borough baptist church or KKK being used as a general representation of Christianity.

    The level of racism and western supremacist mindset in this thread is laughable.

    Liberal folks claim to be "anti racist" and against police brutality in the US,but then accept this blatant imperialist racism and violence against non western nations!!!

    Have you heard of Sufism wayfarer,and how many Muslims have you interacted with to draw your incorrect conclusions?
