Oh, i see better now. You're still thinking within the hierarchy of Received Constructs. The "structure" you long for...

You'd be more so-called "Normal" if you had JUST had more or some STRUCTURE in your kidhood...uh huh.

But in this desire to be "Normal", you are uncritically Buying Into 'The ...

I don't know whether that's really Yee's address, and if it is, what he wants to contact members for. I need more context if I'm going to approve it. For example, why couldn't he post his email himself? Did he ask you to post it? Is there anywhere he could confirm it is his actual email?

For me, I'd say the three most important philosophers who impacted my worldview are Frege, Sellars, Kripke, and Habermas. Frege for the rejection of psychologism, Kripke for the causal theory of reference, and Habermas for the idea ...

I think it's mostly cultural. Though I could admit aggression plays a role. Consider that public executions and watching animals fight to the death used to be normal parts of human entertainment. People have a taste for cruelty and violence, even if it's socially unacceptable, that's why they have ...
