I can relate! Someone who is very dear to me suggested we go to a one-day pottery class and the idea had never entered my mind. I actually ended up loving it. We're both introverts, as well, and she enjoys doing things that don't

The idiom is, "Do as I say, not as I do." Yet here you are trying to convince folks why this doesn't lead to poor morals, low self-awareness, and a lack of trust in doctors. We are talking about a doctor, of course, not just

I'm not sure why you are drawing a parallel to a good doctor that smokes. I never said "Doctor Mike" is a bad doctor. I have no idea if he is a good or bad doctor. Further, an ad hominem is when a person attacks someone'

Every time I tried taking a motorbike taxi, they charged me probably three times more than a local to just travel maybe 1km, not to mention Bangkok has one of the deadliest roads in the world, if not the deadliest. I have explored pretty mu

"Learn how to avoid peak traffic hours." Most people living in Bangkok cannot do this. Also, a very high percent of the time, the Icon Siam area is extremely congested (even on weekends). Yes, you can avoid living in or going to t

Am I the only one who sees "content boxes"/divs with content displayed in different widths as poor design? At least in the example given, I would think you would want the image and its associated content box to be the same si

This is a great point. When I was studying philosophy in university, an extremely common roadblock to moving the discussion forward was that people (professor and students) were philosophizing about specialized topics that they themselves w

I tried living off my music for 10 years when I was young. I was on the verge of homelessness at the end. The existential dread was good for my art, but not my mental health. I was very creative, but also on the verge of not wanting to exis

For context, you can refer to section 2.1 here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/protagoras/#AllThinMeasMa... Sure, it doesn't take long to explain the gist of Protagoras' Truth, because it is fairly b

I'm interested to know what city is at the other end of the spectrum. From my own travels, one city I would submit as a candidate would be Bangkok. In fact, I control-F'd Bangkok and no one has mentioned it yet. As soon as you lea

Canada is doing this wrong. What will happen in practice is someone who lives in the US with an H-1B will move to Canada to get that "easy" job, all the while applying for jobs in the US. As soon as they find one in the US, they w

This should absolutely not be downvoted. Wittgenstein's perjury in the court of law when in trial for beating Haidbauer touched all parts of his life, and it could be argued that this is why he hated the Tractatus, a body of work he on

Wittgenstein's anti-intellectualism was quite well-known and he voiced his displeasure towards intellectualism during his time. Really, this is the root of a lot of his philosophy. It was to prove intellectuals wrong. For some of us, h
