No, it's fiction based on your understanding of such. Don't even try to speak for the whole of humanity. There are plenty of people out there...
How do you know it's fiction? No, every person has to find his or her meaning of life. Meaning is entirely subjective. And how do you...
Okay. You have demonstrated that reason plays a role in art. But how big a role? What about the creative will? So then why have so much faith...
I've never expressed it like that before, but that's actually a pretty good way of understanding it. Remember though, the general message can...
I don't see how anyone can find anything wrong with that. But I've always wondered, about the Wiccan commandment, what about harming yourself,...
What does reason have to do with art, especially since Keats was a Romanticist? Why do I lack faith in man's faculty of reason? Because it's...

Well actually, the statement "all things are open to interpretation" is an absolute. But it seems like you're changing your mind now. You said...
I haven't changed a thing. You can go through all my past posts in the discussion and I always say that the ice cube feels cold to me. That's...
I mentioned it again because I wasn't convinced that you realised what you were saying by denying that we can ever know if a universal is true...
