Stoicism vs. Materialism

Any intelligent discussion starts with the ground rules and the definitions of what is to be discussed.
Do you believe in Climate Change?


It doesn't start with some idiot blabbing about his opinion and assuming everyone should take his word.
That is the entire basis of Global Warming, Climate Change, Ocean Acidification, Disappearing Polar Ice, Sea Level Rise, Extreme Weather, etc.

You believe in all of those, don't you?

This has been the core essence of the Socratic method and the dialectic for over two thousand years.
This is why you and your fellow leftists can never, ever, ever, ever discuss anything rationally, in an adult manner. You (collectively) will start EVERYTHING with some idiot blabbing about your opinion and require everyone to adopt those baseless assumptions or you will not continue.

Your OP, for example, requires all of your opinions to be accepted as fact as the entry fee for the discussion.

But I'm not at all surprised you didn't know the slightest thing about the Socratic method.
Anytime you'd like me to actually teach you about the Socratic method, just let me know.
 
Do you believe!
I generally start these threads out with the ground rules and definitions of the topic open for discussion, from impartial independent sources.

If you went to college, you might recognize this as akin to the Socratic method.

Rather than crying :crybaby: about the way I start my threads, just start your own threads the way you want to.
 
To me the core of Stoicism is upward mobility is achieved by being able to change with the wind. Any dissent will make life difficult.

It's more complicated than that but I explained Stoicism in 2 sentences.
You have never read a single word of stoic philosophy. I am starting to think you are mentally ill.

Great pivot. Answer my questions and we'll see if you really mean what you write in the OP.
 
You don't ask questions in good faith, that's why I'm not going to invest time in you.

When you demanded I prove there are references to gods in the Buddhist Dhammada, and when I did prove it you ran away🏃‍♂️ from the thread, never to appear again.

It's because Sybil is cray-cray. He's never been right in the head on JPP or his fake forum here: https://politiplex.freeforums.net/

BTW, speaking of nutjobs, where's your little buddy? He seems to go in cycles.
 
Cypress threads are interesting! :love:
I would really rather not have guys become so infatuated with me, that they are even going into the distant past to read old threads of mine.
he uses Google AI so much.
I have 70,000 posts here and you cited about 12 examples where I cited a reference from Google to support my claims.

That is an extremely low use of Google, and it's perfectly consistent with how I openly stated I use sources and citations here:
I don't usually have Google links to share. Most of what I know is from books, articles, podcasts, classes.
'don't usually' = infrequently or not commonly
 
You don't ask questions in good faith,
You're back to that error again. You don't get to declare anything about other people's questions. Other people's questions are other people's questions, and if you are too much of a coward to answer them, then don't de surprised when others recognize you as a pathetic coward who doesn't know about what he's talking.

that's why I'm not going to invest time in you.
You have never done anything but flee to the hills with your tail between your legs. You have never understood the subject matter you pretend to discuss. In fact, you haven't demonstrated having any knowledge at all.


When you demanded I prove there are references to gods in the Buddhist Dhammada
... you fled to the hills.

, and when I did prove it
... you were in the middle of a delusion.
 
You're back to that error again!:cuss:
Thanks for admitting you ran🏃‍♂️ from a thread after relentlessly demanding I give you proof of my claims.

You are a bad faith poster who asks questions in bad faith.


Some stalking idiot bumped this old thread from February 2024, and I barely remember what it was about, let alone have the incentive to backtrack and rehash this discussion.

He adores you but is pissed that you gave him shit about plagiarizing from Google so now he’s throwing a tantrum whenever you use Google. It’s a measure of his lack of maturity and a primary reason why I believe he is mentally disabled.
