from OHR Friday, June 13, 2008 - 01:01 (Agree/Disagree?) The lesson I learned from this article is that one can find a conspiracy in anything if they look hard enough. (reply to this comment)

From thatata Monday, June 16, 2008, 12:35 (Agree/Disagree?) I don't know who gave you the thumbs down and Im not about to give you the thumbs up. But I do understand ( I think) what your'e getting out. Very funny. . . mabye we can talk sometime (maybe your name is ...)(reply to this comment)

from thatata Thursday, June 12, 2008 - 13:41 (Agree/Disagree?) I don't like the patronizing and the conspiratorial tone of the article. Does he or she actuaully explain Plato's philosophy? I haven't read it to the end.     (reply to this comment)

From Samuel Thursday, June 12, 2008, 15:25 (Agree/Disagree?) Ah, now I get it, thatata.  (Sorry about having to bail from the chatroom, btw)  You were talking about my comments on this article.  Well, I did read the links, and I find little if any redeeming value in them.  Do realize though that I'm no philosopher, so I do see this argument as kind of silly.  If philosophy were important to me, then I would probably better understand the arguments being made.  To me it seems more like this person wants to draw attention to themselves by questioning the key figures of philosophy.  Does that make sense to you?  (reply to this comment)

From thatata Monday, June 16, 2008, 12:31 (Agree/Disagree?) I don't want to encorage you but I'll have you know that everything in your comment is a misunderstanding. (reply to this comment)

from Doctor of Philosophy Wednesday, June 04, 2008 - 13:16 (Agree/Disagree?) Huh.  Heidegger and Popper are evil twins in service to the cabal for total world domination.  Who'd have thunk it?  Certainly not anyone in my PhD cohort.  Just goes to show yah--the more you learn, the less you know.

from Fish Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 19:09 (Agree/Disagree?) Simplistic and idiotic on so many levels, from the layout to the badly reasoned and ill articulated content. Shudder. (reply to this comment)

From Falcon Wednesday, June 04, 2008, 03:26 (Agree/Disagree?) It appears to be making (modern) philosophy, into some kind of bizarre conspiracy against Platonic mystical philosophy. I'll take Nietzsche and Shoppenhauer over Plato any day! (reply to this comment)

From Samuel Wednesday, June 04, 2008, 05:11 (Agree/Disagree?) Heh, well you would, Falcon.  Personally the only thing I liked about it as their dislike for Nietzsche.  Otherwise, I thought those links sucked bigtime. I've never read Shoppenhauer before, though.  Can you recommend any good books?(reply to this comment)

From Falcon Wednesday, June 04, 2008, 12:59 (Agree/Disagree?) Forget Shoppenhauer. He's extremely fatalistic and takes realism to a degree that a good Christian boy like you would not appreciate. I'd read Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Wittgenstein, and then you'll never have to read another book on philosophy again, unless it gives you some kind of pleasure. (reply to this comment)
