Addendum

So, what about reasoning then? Useless posturing? No, of course not. It's not to abandon reasoning, or throw hands in the air in futility, rather the opposite. It's to recognize the difficulties involved in knowledge acquisition; something students of history (of science and philosophy in particular) should know all too well. Common sense, heuristics, careful inductive and abductive reasoning are indispensable for anyone wishing to learn, and that's the natural modus operandi of most healthy individuals in any case. (Outside of philosophy, solipsism is largely pathological, reported by doctors and asylums.)

Numerous philosophical branches have been charged with solipsism, including, but not limited to, Cartesian skepticism (obviously), (pure) phenomenology, subjective idealism (and some other idealisms), postmodernism (when applied in metaphysics). It crops up in numerous places, and is occasionally used argumentatively to deny just about anything, i.e. a rhetorical tactic.

But, in the requisite Wittgensteinian tradition, languages sure help. Regardless of whether or not there are private languages, public languages enable sharing of experiences.

I've been "diagnosed" with a tendency to stress out. Be it worrying about deforestation, or how well my better half's speech/presentation is going, or world war 3 (or running out of coffee at home). :) Nothing serious, though. But might explain getting gray hair.

And a wickedly annoying (and occasionally painful) case of sciatica. Did a lot of bicycling, running, and martial arts in the past. Apparently bicycling can, in part, cause this stuff, if you're prone to it already. My bicycle got stolen anyway, so no more of that per se.

That many people suddenly moving around is bound to invite problems.
At least it's not exclusively horror stories.
Here are some tired, thirsty, worn out refugees, having made it to Northern Europe, traveling through Denmark on foot, most bound for Sweden.
Some even have infants with them.

The amount of people having been displaced swiftly by ISIS is staggering.
I saw some reports a while back that we're talking in the range of 200,000 children alone.
But, the Danish right wing is on the move much like other places, regardless of the friendly police officer in the photo below.

Hilarious :D

Reminds me a bit of the Monty Python hunting party, except it's for real. Crazy Brits.

- That's my take too, well one of them. (As long as decluttering comments doesn't become too large a task in itself.) :)

Here's RationalWiki's article:

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Woo

Woo is a term used among skeptical writers to describe pseudoscientific explanations that have certain common characteristics.

The term comes from woo-woo, an epithet used in the 1990s by science and skeptical writers to ridicule people who believe or promote such things. This is in turn believed to have come from the onomatopoeia "woooooo!" as a reaction to dimmed lights or magic tricks. The term implies a lack of either intelligence or sincerity on the part of the person or concepts so described.

As a coincidence, the Chinese word "Wū" (巫) means a shaman, usually with magic powers. — RationalWiki

Invited Ying over as well.

Dang Nov 3rd, that's in a good week from now.

- Hear!
Didn't Wittgenstein think philosophy is an activity? (Pardon if my memory failed me.)
There's a "living" aspect to philosophy, more than reading the books of old, but also chatting (socializing), and forming one's own outlooks.

- Love the New Years Eve Nietzsche. :)
Hypatia is nifty too.
Could go all weird like the attachment. I like the Hypatia better, though.

- I might have been long burnt out in your shoes. As good a time as any to move on. :) Thanks for all your good work/efforts.

Wonder if I can.. — jorndoe

Attaching a small snippet of html which has mathjax in it, did seem to work, albeit a slightly more cumbersome way to share formulae.
Clicking the attachment opens a separate window, your browser, depending on local configuration.

Wonder if I can..

Probably a somewhat rare feature of online forums.

Important stuff! ;)
