Regardless, I'd like to ask the general question of the title of this thread in terms;
A) If true, are you looking for higher quality content?
B) If false, disregard. — Shawn
So you might ask questions like the following. Do you recognize quality as such? Do you recoil in shock at its occurrence? Do you attack it aggressively in fear of the power that superlativeness has over you? Are you humbled by quality? — Metaphysician Undercover
I generally associate high quality with pellucid English sentences that state things elegantly and simply. — Tom Storm
Generally we distinguish between things which we like due to personal preference, and things which we like due to higher quality. Personal preference does not equate with higher quality for most of us. — Metaphysician Undercover
I asked "why" do you feel that this personal preference of yours constitutes a higher quality? — Metaphysician Undercover
Anyone who actually believes that higher quality is possible ought to have clear criteria as to how to recognise its occurrence. — Metaphysician Undercover
No, we don't want to see more high quality stuff. Quality is too demanding, too burdensome, hard to produce, often tedious to read. We don't have to go for absolute slop, but let's be sensible: sitting down at the mighty Mac and turning out refined, insightful, elegant, and witty text is a major drain on one's ever-diminishing intellectual resources. I could be brilliant, but then I would be too exhausted to appreciate the adulation which fallow philosophers would shower on me.
Enough about the flight to quality! — Bitter Crank
When I enjoy content I tend to value it more, regardless of its actual merit. — Tom Storm
Best I can do is tell if something is riffing off fallacies and banalities. And I am more likely to value a contribution if I can understand the position being articulated on account of clear English and coherent conceptual framing. — Tom Storm
Fair. Do you have such a criteria or can you imagine one? — Tom Storm
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
