RE: The "Social Justice" President
If you need someone to protect your right to free speech, then you don't have free speech, you have a permit. You can say as much as they allow you. We must not confuse license with freedom. Free speech

RE: Ignorance and evil
Yeah, right, I knew that in Buddhism there was also a similar idea, and perhaps also in Hinduism, I'm not sure, and it doesn't surprise me, because it seems to be quite common sense to me as well when

RE: Paradox of tolerance: Should a liberal society suppress the intolerant?
I disagree. In the first place, who decides what is intolerant and what is not, what must be oppressed and what is not, what is evil and what is not? You can't just point to a group and say "they

RE: Ignorance and evil
Politics is a minefield, people tend to have many contradictory beliefs about it without even noticing it, sometimes they say one thing and then they say another one that contradicts the previous one and

RE: This is why people get upset when their beliefs are challenged.
I think if you are not a child you cannot blame your parents for your beliefs. Surely indoctrination when we were children has something to do with it, but I would say that most of the cases people are

RE: THE "MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS" EXPERIMENT HAS FAILED
It is a very noble thing to detach yourself from your own ideas and let them flow freely without worrying if other people attribute it to themselves. It is putting the ego aside.

RE: THE "MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS" EXPERIMENT HAS FAILED
Something similar has happened to me with ideas that I criticized a lot at the time and that now I can see with different eyes. But in none of those cases was it a debate that made me change my mind, but

Well, there are those kinds of rules, which are unwritten rules, the truth is, if you need to clarify that kind of thing, the dialogue or debate is likely to go nowhere.

RE: Sunday's deep filly-sofical meme's....
The first image reminded me of a quote that says if you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room. It's like the old adage that goes tell me who you go with and I'll tell you

RE: THE "MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS" EXPERIMENT HAS FAILED
I am not very much in favor of debates or discussions, I lean more towards dialogues. Trying to convince the other that it is wrong, or that you are right does not seem to me the most beneficial. I prefer

It is with food and with food distribution, I do something there. Not very important. Nothing interesting.

It's more a feeling that expresses itself through it, that gets to the point without really making the point :) I get it, it's kind of a hint. What actually do you do for living? Did I already asked you

RE: Some thoughts on reality (and falsehood)
Perhaps, I had not thought about it, what I am trying to say is that falsehood is a creation of our perception, that it does not exist objectively, therefore, it only exists in our mind. Perhaps in the

RE: Nature vs man
You say it well. Although you focus on the, let's say, less popular part of spontaneity; burps and farts, I think very few people would support naturalness if it was just that :) But you are right, although

RE: Short Update to Whom it May Concern
I'm sorry for you. Take your time, it is better to rest than to force yourself to do things when you are not in the mood. It's hard, but everything in life is temporary, and I hope everything improves

Yeah, I agree, dignity is one of those things that cannot be taken away from you. I always notice how little I am personally convinced of my dignity when there is a disturbance in everyday life. I would
