I notice, keenly, because I am the keen of notice sort of sight seeker and keen keeper, that no one here has bothered to say hello and offer a welcome. either disinterested in the new arrivals, or overly interested in themselves...? What is the general mental metal genus here? Any wise 'men' amongs...

Hello there, I dont live in the US of A, so I dont have much of an opinion upon your process nor politics. I only read the last page of posts, and I just wished to reply to Gee, though of course, as in any open environment, I encourage you to inform or correct, if any of what I say within your earsh...

As I started to read the article in the link, and tried to focus on a possible answer, I was constantly drawn through the picture itself and back to the artist as the author of 'want'. I believe it will be difficult to maintain the picture itself as the thing doing the wanting. But just for fun, I ...

All religions, with the notable exception of the Church of Ouzo, are sham religions based on sheer superstition. The question of why we are here, and the nature of what caused it, is beyond the realm of science, which deals in cause and effect. I have a fleeting connection of thought to the Church ...

Why is it un-Faithful to be scientific? For the sake of clarity, i had to ask the question from both...'sides' of arrow.

Pict...

Metaphilosophy I tend to think, the member introduction interview to the Cause and applause, Philosophy or applied title of philosopher.

I notice, keenly, because I am the keen of notice sort of sight seeker and keen keeper, that no one here has bothered to say hello and offer a welcome. I do not take this personally, however, I would be grateful if some or any of one or many, would let me know if those already members here, are eith...

This is poetry?

Amongst everything or anything it could be, 'This is' I suppose, possibly poetry.

Why do you ask? Is it lacking an answer? Is it lustring in inadequacy?

So perhaps modern art presence is more of our place in front of it, of us finding and discovering it, possibly productive pretence. Rather than what was of post taste artistic vernacular being that it discovered us, it came before us, not any longer so drawn out and taught, a thing of Court, now we ...

What I wonder is the difference between a philosopher and a Thinker? A thinker may not be burdened by knowledge, which might well restrict the knowing continual thought flowing... A philosopher may not be burdened by reforming, what doubt will retract the teaching contained fact owning... What do yo...
