Seems like there's an inconsistency with how philosophy is being used.

?

Whaat?

Ask Ralston.

Especially on the Internet.

The fact of the matter is -- we all need money or resources to survive, which causes all of us to compromise what we would ideally think is correct with a capital "C".

I would look at this one.

I don't know but something lol. Haha. Something.

I don't feel like everyone is corrupt by definition. That's a very nerdy way to think about reality.

Similar to Ralston too. He actually unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago.

@Xonas Pitfall Think about this: How would a person act if they thought morality doesn't exist?

@Xonas Pitfall This is what morality is. The theory of good behavior.

Really? To me he seems pretty middle of the road. He's not boring, but he's not trying too hard either.

Notice I had to catch your ball of "experience" here too, thank you. It's a good metaphor. Yes we can't escape being relational, I agree. Emotions I don't think obstruct anything per se, although they definitely can. Emotions also draw us toward Relation which is Love. I'm curious as to what you think a proper act of communicating is.

Yes, but what use is epistemology to God?

This seems to be a trap: Everyone who disagrees with me is epistemically irresponsible.

Interesting. Well, we're talking about two things combined. One, did the person understand you. Two, are they interested in meeting you half way. 1. is cognitive, 2. is emotional and relational.

Value truth first and then come talk to me. Anyone can hide behind truth.

I spent years on his forum as a caveat. I'm curious why you think he is the crux of the turning point.

Have you noticed that someone may not even want to listen? You may be giving what you think is a great and constructive insight on a situation or relation and someone may not listen, or even if they do, they never register or agree with you about it. And the issue comes up over and over again. You're made to feel silly for even bringing it up. This is what you have to notice. Understand it structurally and systemically so it doesn't become too personal.

Okay. On that note, enjoy.

Why are you so concerned with what other people are doing? I suppose I could turn this question around on myself too. That is fair. But it's interesting. Why are we so concerned with what other people are doing is probably the better question.
