It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail.
Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!
"Of course the people don't want war… But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship… Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
—Hermann Göring
@SebReyWriter@TheUnCommonEra@ARomeoSierra@CR1337 You just made a false analogy. By contrast, military operations and Intel agency operations are not even things that the public is capable of buying because it would likely be a national security threat. JSTOR articles are not classified as such.
I get what is meant here. I think what happened, though, is that the "way of life" philosophies got sectioned off into "Ethics" as a philosophical subfield.
By the way, I can see how "formalizing philosophy into analytical or logical constructs and at the same time absolutizing philosophy into and supposed all encompassing system or method" fits for the analytic, but not for the continental tradition. I think the latter includes the continental though. Also... wouldn't Plato and Aristotle be said, respectively, to have an "all encompassing systems or method" from their philosophies?
@restless_abyss@philosophymeme0 “Clarified or obscured the world” is more accurate. Whether the former or the latter is contingent on your interpretation of the philosopher and/or the degree of conciseness or convolution of the given philosopher.
