Sartre said solipsism is refuted every time we feel shame

Logic is the best way for reason to work. It is not the only way. "The insane are not those who have lost their reason, but those who have lost all except logic."

The business that will boom in the future is psychology and psychiatry. People will need help to feel normal again once things act more normal again

Aristotle was a good writer

Aristotle is an aesthetic and movement in time short of guy. It was Aquinas that turned him into dogma. Hegel and Heidegger have the former approach. Aristotle w

Hi Charles! David had said Descartes was rejected by Sarte because doubt implies temporally and we can't intuit time. So Sartre throws Kant in with Descartes, and throws them out. Remember to read Sartre with Heidegger in mind, although Heidegger said Sartre misunderstood him a bit. Being is ozzy for Sartre, a combination of transcendentals for Heidegger.

It's conversations like this that gives me inspiration

And by summer i mean as soon as it gets warm

Stress spreads the virus and the flu. The summer will slow things down, so that's the time to go for walks, build the economy, and work on a vaccine

What an interesting thread.

So Sartre wouldn't be Kantian, otherwise he would agree with Descartes. Time holds us, but I don't know if Sartre is saying "the way is in" or the way is without (i.e. the world)

There will be circuses only some appreciate, New forms of art

The World Health organization said the rate of mortality for older people is less than 4%. Uhhh.. who the hell runs this country!

This virus thing is being pushed by the old people who run this country. They are the only ones who have a real risk of dying from it. The problem for us young people is whether there will be food available. There might be more people starving in this country because old people don't want to die from a flu like virus (it's not even a bad way to go!). So get food and don't worry.

*over

Apparently the old and weak run this country. That's got to change. I'm not concerned about the lives of those who only have ten years max to live anyway. If the virus is going to get so many sick it quaratines the country, so be it. Why quarantine beforehand. Nobody under 40 should be in government. We are run by stinky old people's farts

Revolution might break out. I think more people will die from quarantine than from the Budweiser virus or whatever it's called. A bunch of grown ass people afraid of vomit and germs. I wish they could revoke the media's licenses and just have local stations do it. They killed people because they are pathetic and panicked. I'd show them no mercy

50% are immortal? I never implied that. Get it together

Pure platonists believe we are decay from Forms, so to speak. Better "material" than you might think

To say before is just to mean there was no previous activity. Where there was no previous activity there was no time. There was nothing.

It will also spread less when the weather warms up. God will that be great! I've been feeling hatred towards clouds for keeping out the sunshine

A quarter of the world is as danger of other diseases. Always have, always will. The problem is food supply and medicine supply. If that is ok, it won't be the end of a lot of people get a bad flu like experience. I ve seen someone set of fire before and I had no fear. I felt empathy and anger instead. It's a great time for hike and long walks. That's even the best exercise for this situation.

Half the world is not going to die from the corona virus.

Spiritual is a different ORDER than material. I can't prove its there. The material answers the HOW-it-is-so. Spiritual answers a subtle why, which I hear in music from sitar to the 3000 year old chants on youtube. There IS something fuzzy here because I'll listen to Apollo or whoever chants on youtube and it sounds half spiritual and half material. There is probably a continuum with something discreet at both ends. That's what Spinoza got wrong. He didn't believe in the material at all, at least in the empiricist sense. I don't think, nevertheless, that there is a person or 3 persons at either end of the chasm that is our continuum..

Hawking's opinions are all alternative ones. There is no way to prove anything about cosmology scientifically. They say "dark matter causes the expansion". How do you know a cosmic onion doesn't do it instead? They say "we know this model is right with 65 percent accuracy" then they throw it out for one with 70 percent, than throw that out for one with 85! But if the 65 and 70 percent were wrong, how do we know it's really 85 percent accurate at that point?

Pure potentiality doesn't act any more than a Form. The world either flows out of the more actual Form or flows up from pure potentially

What is a material law? Let's say that we think light works a certain way. Suddenly a light acts different and we think something is affecting it. Why not say "something was affecting it" before and now it acts normal? There is no way to see into any laws, if they even exist instead of randomness.

Do the Forms exist? Why not pure potentiality, or even spiritual nothingness, instead?

Spiritual powers say WHY things are the way they are. Materially, things can be explained through science. Hume and Russell thoughts the "why question" irrelevant. Many disagree.

If there are Forms or spiritual powers (spiritual potential would be in the middle, spiritual nothing would be the opposite of Forms), can we tap into them?

What is the probability that the majority don't want to believe these studies? Would the conspiracy be leaked? But we have people claiming exactly that everywhere on every subject!

Believe! (and maybe watch a movie)

To believe in a God who loves you in the Christian sense is to be a narcissist who wants everyone to be a narcissist.

Why would you not want to be infinite and perfect?

There is no place on earth that should be as safe as in one's mother's womb, growing-into-life. Pregnant women know implicitly that they are already mothers. Those who deny it are denying their nature

You just don't have a big heart Tim plain and simple. You'll never change my mind about pro choice people being that way. You think abortion is a game.

Can we all agree that its a grave crime to take a fetuses life if its possible to give it a great life?

Ah, I see

Black people don't have Neanderthal genes generally. So white racists can say that is reason they are different and can be enslaved. Identical to the pro-choice position

You said you can put to death growing human DNA potentially-a-person. Ive already refuted this copiously. There is no talking to Nazis

How can we examine to see if a being with DNA is human? Uh. Why not ask with the Nazis for criteria proving Jews are human. It's all pretty ovbious. Pro-choice people discriminate against fetuses. Just like the Nazis. Are we to say human clones aren't true people when that happens? Nazis are everywhere of course

Physicists say time is different for different people. If they mean rate and motion only, then we just have a finite series of motions. Hawking says time is an entity that turns into space however

You have to have clear evidence they are not human in order to take their lives. Duh! You're apparently, tim, ok killing when there migh possibly be human life. As long as there's a grey area huh? That's an asshole move. Suppose a law comes out that defines human life as one that has all functioning organs. Suddenly it's cool to kill organ donars and recipients

Maybe people over 80 cease to be people. They are "different" . You shouldn't kill a class of people because people don't philosophically think they are fully human. Some whites think black people are not fully human. Make the case that definitely fetuses are not people. If you cant, be pro-life and rational

Relativity says that size and time are relativistic, but so actually an illusion

In that case we wouldn't think we are thinking of truth but would be to an outsider
