I agree with Kant that allowing womens' suffrage was an act of sheer madness). — Dachshund
Doesn't sound like much of a plan. — Agustino
Yeeeeeeeeees, how did you guess so well? :smirk:I guess your plan is 'get rich, get powerful, then implement a practical plan.' — unenlightened
Ok, take me there kind Sir.But if you want to discuss that let's go somewhere more congenial than this Pinker v pinko thread. — unenlightened
I very much doubt that unenlightened always was a night-porter. He may have been a night-porter at some time, but my guess is that unenlightened is much better off than he makes it show over here.Yes, it's a classic (post)-modern era Marxist's sleight of hand; and if the "night-porter" schtick is true, you can throw in a very healthy does of the invidia the decalogue TWICE warns us against, i.e. the kind of bitter class envy - or rather, the kind of vicious class jealously the french call ressentiment that always ends in grief. — Dachshund
Yeah, but you're too intelligent for what you let on. I'm not using this to attack you in any way, contrary to what you seem to think. I'm just stating what I think. Your intelligence makes me think that either (1) you are a very capable person yourself (much more capable than you let on), and/or (2) you come from a relatively well to do family which gave you access and time to become so educated (not necessarily rich, but you know, at least upper middle class let's say). Granted that you say your father was an architect back in the day (or your grandmother! worked in the bank), I don't think that's far off.I am not remotely humble. I put my life where my ideology is. I am the downwardly mobile son of an architect, and exile from the middle classes. But feel free to resort to ad homs in your attempt to sustain the unsustainable. It's about all you've got. — unenlightened

The fact that he is such an extremely popular public intellectual in the US tends to contract your view of him as "jejune" and "uninteresting", Darth ? — Dachshund
I did not say just like Uriah lol :lol: But it was a funny remark.Just like Uriah Heap. :roll: — unenlightened
Who has chosen and could afford to make that choice too, no? What was your reason for choosing that? Was it something that came to you instinctually so to speak, or was it consciously planned?who has chosen — unenlightened
