BJ wrote: When I think of "niceness," visions of plasticity and sycophants immediately come to mind. In my thinking, niceness is irrevocably linked to posing, to flattering another's vanity while affirming one's own. Whether it be flattering someone with a "nice" comment, or bein...

I can relate to that sentiment.

I measure my thoughts with a ruler, not a gut feeling.

How many inches is your conciouslness?

emma: The best work a genius can do is to make a living at what he/she does best. if no one wants to buy the work, then the genius must continue Yes, but a survival must be generated in order for the genius (or anyone else) to continue to do the worthwhile work. Kevin: Most of the "work" p...

David wrote: Others have graced the forum in the past and provided similar lists. It hasn't made much of an impact on us because the calibre of the women listed is always quite low. It seems that you have already made up your mind. and: As for the list of 70 philosophers, there are far too many list...

David wrote: Are you saying there were women who changed or overturned fundamental conceptual paradigms of science during the course of the 20th century? If so, who were they? I already gave you the list, specifying the top ones. I even gave good links. Nikola Tesla is going to take a much longer po...

And Nikola Tesla should have been at the top of the list of top scientists - he wasn't even on the list, either.

All that list you posted is telling of is the opinion of Sir John Maddox.

I agree that the "boy's club era" made a big impact on the numbers of females contributing at that time, but the "boy's club" also subtracted from the recognition of those who did contribute. Science: Marie Curie Alice Hamilton Wangari Maathai Grace Hopper Here's a bigger list, t...

I think that Beingof1 made very a logical analysis.

So Mother Theresa was a successful fundraiser. I wrote: I don't think Mother Theresa had any money, but I do think she achieved some things. And she didn't have to bash anybody to achieve them. I take back "And she didn't have to bash anybody to achieve them" and stand corrected on that pa...

Corey wrote: Sure, but that would have meant that there would have been 'girls clubs' as well. While the boys were off to do their thing, the girls got together to do theirs. Not necessarily. Many were isolated, cooking and cleaning in houses with children, while men had the opportunity to go out. P...

David wrote: The way she intertwined her "help" with deluded Christian fantasies, and tacitly undermined any desire people might have had to use their reasoning powers and seek the Truth in their minds, showed that she was essentially a force for evil - albeit unwittingly so. I'll take tha...

Corey wrote: I would answer by asking you: “why, historically, have there been no major female philosophers or scientists?” Please check your data. It is true that there have not been very many, but considering the barriers to get into any of the "boy's clubs" it is amazing that there ...

it's simply their biased state of mind that keeps them in the dark.

Very well said (when taken out of context like that).

Shardrol wrote: What I think happened is that you made a mental mistake, equating 'all [biological] women' in your mind with 'unconscious', revealing your true feelings about [biological] women, which are not what you claim them to be. I agree with that thought and add to it that people who have spe...

I removed a post related to the work I currently do and I removed a post that went into personal detail about my own experience of ego death.

Probably a good idea considering the maturity level of some of the members.

David wrote: Well, they do say that the philosopher's life is one of comedy and paradox! LOL! and: Are you asserting that achievement should only be recognized within the economic realm?

Corey wrote: they haven’t the aggression, callousness and single mindedness to disregard the feelings of more fragile people in favor of being more and more truthful. or it could be looked at as many men and a number of women do not have the skill to phrase the truth in a non-offensive way.
