I didn't say being phony is a benefit. I was (in my view) charitably giving the author the benefit of the doubt by assuming that his vulgarity is feigned (posturing) and not ingrai…

Thanks for your response. > I didn’t make that claim in any implied way, I asserted, correctly, that Aristotle is not an Abrahamic thinker. I was trying to make sense of what your …

What an obnoxious post. Pro-tip: knock off the vulgarity and avoid making ignorant remarks that pander to presently fashionable sentiments. It doesn't "spice up" your text or make …

It's a category mistake. People try to naturalize Jesus as a "great teacher", but the one thing you cannot do is frame Jesus as another wise man and good teacher! The man claimed t…

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. Those two sentences seem disconnected. One very common error people make is to believe that ethics - at least epistemically and for t…

For one, because it's an indicator of health and healthy development, which are in turn related to other desirable features. Analogous things can be said for women. You also can't …

Perfection is always relative to a purpose or telos . So in the case of artifacts - which are the products of engineering, arts, and techne in general - the purpose isn't inherent …

A good question to pose to Sam.

Interesting Rorschach test.

Not really. You can be honest about something working and others can disagree with your assessment.

I'd have to look deeper into his views, but I've already come across what seem like similar claims that try to attribute computation to the laws of physics or to matter in general …

Whatever one might say about method, epistemically speaking, the aesthetic is prior to the mathematical. The mathematical is found in the analysis of the beautiful.

The "man-o-sphere" is pornographic. Look at the porn-brained Tate brothers for an example. That is their whole ethos and their souls are rotted out by it. Both are based in dehuman…
