Philosophy Now Forum

You have made me think, Mr. Holmes, sorry Arising, and I wonder now:

is it a clue when Bill gets over-enthusiastic about someone ?

A promotion campagne is always suspicious, in a way.

"Bill Wiltrack"

You are AWESOME!

Bill Wiltrack

I am enthusiastic about your writings too.

Your reply was a priceless masterpiece of humor and intertwined bile.
I am still laughing at every rigorously crafted word and the inevitable Bill Wiltrack video.
We should raise a jug of ale together to celebrate the routing of the enemy camp
and sing Oxford Union songs.

Of all the years I have posted here at The Philosophy Now Forums, or any other forums, THIS is the first time I typed the word GNU.

Having said that I make no association to the effort of my writings towards that word; gnu.

I don't even like that word.


That's NOT me. I will never use that word again.

Who gives a shit as that is what you wish to be, a gnu.

"Good Gnu (A Vignette in Verse)

When cares attack and life seems black,
How sweet it is to pot a yak,
Or puncture hares and grizzly bears,
And others I could mention;
But in my Animals "Who's Who"
No name stands higher than the Gnu;
And each new gnu that comes in view
Receives my prompt attention.

When Afric's sun is sinking low,
And shadows wander to and fro,
And everywhere there's in the air
A hush that's deep and solemn;
Then is the time good men and true
With View Halloo pursue the gnu;
(The safest spot to put your shot
is through the spinal column).

To take the creature by surprise
We must adopt some rude disguise,
Although deceit is never sweet,
And falsehoods don't attract us;
So, as with gun in hand you wait,
Remember to impersonate
A tuft of grass, a mountain-pass,
A kopje or a cactus.

A brief suspense, and then at last
The waiting's o'er, the vigil past;
A careful aim. A spurt of flame.
It's done. You've pulled the trigger,
And one more gnu, so fair and frail,
Has handed in its dinner-pail;
(The females all are rather small,
The males are somewhat bigger)."
P.G.Wodehouse

I can't think of a better open amateur forum than the one I am posting in right now, as I type.

Not withstanding that its the only forum left that hasn't banned you.

If you are reflecting Rick Lewis philosophy it is fucked-up. It is flawed.

Says the gnu.

That's not the Rick Lewis I know.

You don't know Rick Lewis.

The Rick Lewis I know realizes that the hard copy of his magazine is doomed.

Told you you didn't know him.

No one gives a flying fuck about the past professionals.

Since you don't subscribe or read the mag I'll forgive you for not knowing that they are the present professionals.

HERE at The Philosophy Now Forums is where the rubber meets the road.

In your case where the shit hits the fan.

We spit our working philosophy for the world to see AND TO REACT TO - in real time.

You have no working philosophy.

FUCK those old gas-bags. NOBODY listens to them any more.

It was only a limited literate few and some of the powerful who listened to them in the first place.

This is where working philosophies turn.

You have no working philosophy.

We have entered a new age. An age where, with a slight tweak he will feature THIS forum online and he will make a profit here at The Philosophy Now Forums, right from the rip.

Please! Its bad enough now with yours and now Lackings inane images and now you want to monetize the forum so that we get assaulted with adverts and trivia. Leave well alone as this forum is about the cleanest on the Interweeb and a relief for the eyes it is. This forum is online numbnuts.

I doesn't exist anymore. It got turned into the Metropolitan University when the Tories decided to scrap the Polytechnics just as they were beginning to work.

Bill is an artist and so he appreciated the artistic elements of a harsh reply, and not so much its meanness towards me.
I don´t bear Bill a grudge.

I can see why you get bullied, you're too kind. Bill is an artist, a piss artist and a plagiarist to boot.

Yes, my spelling is not excellent. English is my third language. I should invest more effort into improving it.

I didn't mention your spelling? But your English is pretty good given it's your third language. You shame me.

This Oxford graduate boasting with his education does not sound like a gentleman to me at all.
He might have got some scholarship or ....

He's bright but he's got no academic graduate credentials, it's why he's so bitter towards those who have.

"Lacking"

Nicely written but this is what you and John Gray think, not Bill. You are just using him as a sock-puppet.

Lakin wrote:Well Rick ,I think what Bill Wiltrack is saying is that Philosophy is dead in the same way as
God is Dead. The faith in God has gone as the faith in establishment Philosophy is gone, or as he says , is "flawed". Possibly because it is the old juggling act of Judeo Christian prejudice .

And yet according to the Oxford, no Cambridge, sorry Oxford 'grad', large parts of western philosophy are an amalgamation with eastern philosophy?

Someone who has lived a full life (Bill) is reading a philosophy which does not reflect the world as he knows it ,but is rather just a populist and political philosophy that fits into the square and round holes that society has foisted on us and basically he does not buy it.

He certainly doesn't read it as he doesn't buy it. What he did buy into was his mentors cobbled together 'eastern philosophy', Ouspensky and a mystical experience in his youth.

As far as I understand it , the core philosophy that Bill understands is that
the organised world is highly politicized and that propaganda has supplanted truth.

When didn't it?

Corruption is endemic in all our institutions .

When wasn't it? Although we did improve for a while but looks like things are returning to normal.

Bill probably sees the world as did George Orwell .

You saying he's a disillusioned socialist? As an aside, my nan said Eric was a great disappointment to his parents.

What Bill is saying is that he does not need a student in a magazine, who is pontificating from ancient philosophers ,to tell him what life is all about in the real world.

What happened to the eternal verity you were referring to above?

His philosophy is here on the forum , reflected in his encounters with his arch rival The Chicken.
Jealousy, power plays, one-upmanship , the crass stupidity of those wishing to
make their views concrete by virtue of shoddy evidence and then, supported by partisan and twisted cliques .etc.
Such is life where truth is left in tatters.

What jealousy? Which cliques? I'll give you that shoddy evidence abounds here and there are many seeking power although what 'power' one can have in this format is beyond me.

It could just be that Bill's a budding gnu seeking followers as Bill thinks he has the truth of things. Which could be backed-up by the shonky evidence of his past history on Interweeb forums.

I take it that you are about to join in as so far and in the past your posts to me fit all your criteria.

So you say random articles from the forum would crash the magazine.
Well what Bill is saying is that the forum is the actuality of interpersonal life
and reflects life more acutely that scholarly articles which attempt to remodel
social phenomena.

No, he's saying no-one would buy it as those who do buy it have a life and are reading not from despair but interest.

To Bill, life is crudely exposed by experience and he does not need refined philosophical drama to teach him about life.

And yet his posts are one long wail of confusion about his life? Maybe a touch of Boethius or even Camus might help him.

Still, thank you for confirming that all that guff about harassment, bullying and power was just you projecting your motivation upon me.

I really think you should leave duszek alone as the only philosophy troll here is you.

I challenge each & every one of the POS hacks that appear in this months Philosophy Now Magazine to appear here and stay here. Jump in the barrel & let's see how they fare.[/size]

Now's the chance to put your money where your mouth is Bill. TMoody is in the Articles Now section, lets see your reasoning in action.

Was it not Duszek who cast the first stone ? Yes I think so, but because you are a propagandist Judeo Christian relic of a philosopher (tin pot version) you have the licence to rearrange events, positions, orientations and all the figments of objective truth so that it appears that Duszek is the victim and I am the aggressor.

Duszek launched a sock puppet attack from the flanks and was duly slapped in the face and now you invoke his name because you are looking for allies in your petulant personal war against Bill Wiltrack.
As they say, If you can't stand the heat ,get out of the kitchen.
That applies to you and that dullard Duszek whose third language is not English but "thinking".

"Arising_uk"

He's bright but he's got no academic graduate credentials

How would you know this Mr Philosopher?
My erudition is clearly greater than yours and you claim to have an Hons degree.
By comparison I should have a doctorate .
I know more about philosophy than you and I don't even have a qualification in the subject.

No one here has called your work outstanding and as far as I can see and
where is your contribution to philosophy here ?

Not one genuine original post and in fact where are your posts except your back biting
excursions into the posts of other forum members for years.
Your standard of writing is poor and semi literate.

And is it not curious that you claim to have a degree from a college which no longer exists?

And you talk about my psychology of bitterness when the most bitter manifestation here is
The Chicken. The bile is enough to blot out the sun.
You are angry because you are unemployed and live in a bed-sit and are an abject failure in life. You have no qualifications and so you occupy this virtual world where your virtual qualifications can go unchallenged ,so you think.

You inability to understand Schopenhauer' s synthesis of philosophy exposed you as a charlatan .
Your cross examinations of Bill Wiltrack are plainly childish in their grammatical construction and import. Your puerile argument, than the man has not engaged with his minimalist world view, is not so much absurd as a concept (although it is silly) but it is the absurd gravity which you attach to it.
This is how children conduct arguments not adults with degrees in philosophy.

It would not be so bad if your attacks were funny but they are menacing
in nature. You just come across as a bitter drop out from society who garners power
by wading into people on a forum.

What a complete waste of space you are to the community.
