True, but on the positive side; your thread is more active than it would have otherwise been.

I suspect his name's an acronym for something that sums him up...

Has A Really Bad Artificial Intelligence?... No wait, it's an 'L', right, not an 'I'? (You can see where the error might occur...)
Has A Really Bad Artificial Leg?
Has A Really Bad Attitude...Lame

Got there in the end. :lol:

Anyone else want to have a go? Roll up! Roll up!

Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons, after you joined it.

I'd have a go but I think that would be cheating.

You really want to eliminate Harbal's comments altogether, don't you? It would be easier to just put him on ignore.

Yes, we have to wade through a lot more dross now that Harbal has started commenting.

Philosophy is malleable and always unsure. Philosophy is an attempt at diversity thru intellect. Philosophy is the unguarded twin of Religion, without a Temple, without the faithful... a vagabond on the landscape seeking that which lies beyond religious beliefs thru the mind's logic.


That's my philosophy.
Life is philosophys' absolute.

Philosophy serves life and is measured by life.

Life does not serve philosophy.

Philosophy does not measure life.

Without life, philosophy does not exist.

Temple. Templum. Contemplate.

The temple is both you and the object.

Aside order to Harbal: Does formatting decrease entropy of understanding?

Has your list been taught to you?
Is your list based upon teachings you have read?
Is your list all you believe philosophy to be?
Is your list susceptible to change?
Is your list your list?

From what you say you see your own.
Look at it this way.
The water is there to drink.
You drink.
For that reason, is it your “own” water?
Sure, when prancing ego leads the parade.

That's my philosophy.
That is an absolute statement, that contradicts the form of the argument through the function of the answer.

I would argue that Philosophy is the observation and manifestation of definition, with these definitions manifesting proportionalities and symmetries which are reflective in structure and equal in function to "truth".
