the potential that was given to me by God, because, in the end, it is only He who matters. — bcccampello
Preaching God is not philosophy. — JerseyFlight
Your ex-cathedra pronouncement is hypocritical and inappropriate. The op is a practical exercise proposal that need have no relation to any god. There is no preaching going on, except your own. — unenlightened
Would you argue that I don't have the right to refute error or call it into question? — JerseyFlight
Then he didn't need to mention God, but he did — JerseyFlight
I came to understand better not only who I am for myself, but who I want to be to realize the potential that was given to me — bcccampello
Pointing out that God-worship is not philosophy is not a hate crime. — Kenosha Kid
Jersey Flight was considered as a contemporary, liberal version of Nietzsche. He was an iconoclast against all forms of cultural superstition, including elitism and academia. His intellectual interests included, defining and expanding the psychological qualities that account for advanced thinking, as well as collaborating a method for its culturation. He had repeatedly challenged intellectuals to transcend theory and fulfill their social responsibility to engage culture through polemics. His writing style was consciously concise; an anti-scholastic, he tried to communicate complex ideas in simple prose. He had written multiple volumes of philosophy that are yet been released to the public. He is was one of the founders of The New School of Polemics. — Jersey Flight from a Third Person Point of View
Of course it will be like this, nobody wants a life that does not have a perennial meaning, therefore that it is meaningless. — bcccampello
So, it is not really about being rare or ordinary, but truthful. — bcccampello
When people start to get emotional, be it religious people or analytical philosophers (who are actually worse in this sense), I have noticed that some of the moderators start to get emotionally confused, that is, they lose their objectivity and start adjusting their actions to cater to the complaints of those who are dysregulated. This technique should not work but it does. — JerseyFlight
Love is ... — bcccampello
There are four reasons why the Cynics are so named. First because of the indifference of their way of life, for they make a cult of indifference and, like dogs, eat and make love in public, go barefoot, and sleep in tubs and at crossroads. The second reason is that the dog is a shameless animal, and they make a cult of shamelessness, not as being beneath modesty, but as superior to it. The third reason is that the dog is a good guard, and they guard the tenets of their philosophy. The fourth reason is that the dog is a discriminating animal which can distinguish between its friends and enemies. So do they recognize as friends those who are suited to philosophy, and receive them kindly, while those unfitted they drive away, like dogs, by barking at them.[8] — Wikipedia: Cynicism (philosophy)
