Re: Academia looks at women in philosophy

[...] though I attest it is possible for a female to prove her worth as a philosopher around here - but what about in the field of philosophy as a whole? Or in any field? How much stereotyping must a quality thinker who happens to be female have to fight through to prove her worth in your opinion? ...

Re: If you were about to die....

Well, I wouldn't make it a big issue, but I would compose as many new songs as I want in the time I had and publish everything. I think music is passed on to others better as a message, so why not end with it?

Re: What's the Point of Religion?

In addition to your declaration of identity, the fact that your initial assertion concerning religion, control, and emotion is unsubstantiated by evidence or reasoning, or even the less convincing substantiation of belief, also bolsters your self-identified feeble-mindedness. Unsubstantiated by evi...

Re: What's the Point of Religion?

I can express it much more succinctly: since nothing is really happening, if you don't believe what you see, you won't suffer. I would say it is what you feel, and what you see may incite what you feel. Which, by the way, is also the point of religion. When supreme importance over takes something, ...

Re: What's the Point of Religion?

The true nature of religion is to control emotions. From this would you then conclude that until emptiness is realized, identity latching onto the transitory phenomena of emotions obscures awareness with the delusion of attachment, thus making attachment itself, rather than the phenomena (emotions)...
