Most large cities I've lived in, general traffic enforcement essentially only exists on that month's/quarter's designated ticket-writing day. i.e., when highway patrol and city police just write speeding tickets all day

I'm a fan of nominative determinism as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure what you're referring to, exactly? None of the surnames here strike me as particularly unusual.

yes, but of course the "pecking order" is more complicated than that. oftentimes the victor (the "alpha") gains respect for his (defeated) opponent for having the balls to challenge him and is thereby far more liable to

the stereotype is also that when men don't like each other they'll just get into a fight once and move on whereas when women don't like each other they'll tear each other down in extended social and psychological campaig

That's hardly a "conflation". If you can meaningfully distinguish Aramco policy and Saudi policy, please do.

the game does skewer said ideologies but i think it's going too far to label the game as satire because those political elements are also a key part of the world of the game and its (fictional) history. so much of the game is about Rev

speak up, we can barely hear you in the top rows of the grandstands voters have essentially zero influence over policy and overwhelmingly vote on "vibes". also most people don't care about policy at any level of detail until

my point is that powders don't mix evenly. part of a baggie testing negative for fentanyl doesn't mean the remainder is clean.

I still think you're selling the pre-moderns a little bit short, personally. I respect and appreciate your equanimity in your response to my initial comment, which was admittedly unnecessarily harsh and antagonistic.

Yup, couldn't agree more. One of my biggest intellectual annoyances is the common (mis)conception that philosophy is about answers when, as you said, it's really about questions. Less debate, more play .

philosophy isn't really about answers, it's about questions. it's also not really about knowledge. a philosopher, literally, is a friend or lover of wisdom . there are decent arguments, for instance, that reasoning about God

There's a strong argument to be made that Plato himself laid the seeds of nihilism and it's irrefutable that the Judeo-Christian conception of God would be radically different without it's heavy Platonic influence.

The Will to Power is a complicated concept that can be interpreted many different ways. And actually his whole point was attempting a purely immanent philosophy. WtP is not a transcendent.

Hardly unconventional, a significant amount of the past 150 years of continental philosophy has involved critiques of Plato along the same lines as expressed here.

You're essentially describing Idealism vs Materialism. Related is Nietzsche thinking he was the one to overturn Plato. Heidegger thought that Nietzsche was instead the logical conclusion of metaphysics. Heidegger's project was abo
