  • True Lies, Realism in cinema
    I just want to see a good film (on my criteria) that reflects the intentions of the filmmaker, whatever they may be.
  • Why are you naturally inclined to philosophize?
    Clarity, peace of mind, seeing how other people view things. Get rid of my sloppy thinking and acceptance of things as they are. Not to find truth, possibly to find meaning.
  • Misheard Songs...
    An old work colleagues friends mother, from Ziggy Stardust:
    ..."Making love with his Eagle" (not ego)
    Another Police one, "So Lonely" becoming "Sue Lawley".
  • Why do you use this forum?
    I spend every work lunchtime reading posts, and try to whenever else I can, which isn't much at the moment. Layman interest in Philosophy, addicted to learning.
  • Why aren't there many female thinkers today?
    Sadly, we just lost one:

  • Why aren't there many female thinkers today?
    I wasn't aware there were any biological arguments, it is all social/cultural/nurture.
  • Too stupid for philosophy.
    If you have the nouse to post 370 times on this forum, then you are definitely doing yourself down.
  • Purpose of Philosophy
    Out of the choices it would be recreational activity. I'm not looking for answers per se, or looking to achieve goals, I am looking for peace of mind, but I only seem to achieve it in the process, not as a goal/destination, which ids OK by me. I love learning, mainly science and philosophy and the achievement of learning or seeing the world in a different way, gives me peace of mind.
