Are the charges false?

Then the messenger is asking to be charged. I'd call this "provocation" ....

provocateur in French

Type 100 words in a text file save it.
Then take a screenshot of as small of a box that can contain all 100 words and save it.
Compare the size!

Unnecessary bandwidth use for the rich fucks of the planet who don't have to pay or wait for download.

I can escalate your charges from misdemeanor to constitute intent of causing harm to the public well being.

Also resisting objective criticism may be an additional charge.

#philosophy and #sophists are offensive lineman in the #American football game of life.

The concussion of ideas causes psychic damage.

Scepticism is one of the philosophical movements of the Hellenic period which would recur during the Renaissance when overcoming or avoiding scepticism would become a great challenge. Scepticism had its roots in a combination of cynical attitudes toward the authority of institutions and traditions and also in the relativism of the Sophists...

I am reading the #Gorgias, #Plato's dialogue between #Socrates and three rethoricians, #sophists.

I don't really think I like Socrates very much. Nor do I think very highly of him and his arguments so far. (Nor of Plato who wrote it all down)

Hope I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Humans are wonderful beings. Have u ever wondered about explanation of some observed phenomenon and not stopped until u find an explanation?
In 5th century BC,a socio-economic group appeared in #Greece:#Sophists
They were wise people who charged others for teaching and as every of such groups they gained power Method was not same as #Socrates who taught people through conversation and question-answer,but rather pushed ideas into minds,whether understood or not Many times resorting to fallacies.

What's really egregious are the #kleptocrats and #sophists the #CorporateState chose to head the report — individuals that got us into this mess!

See #InnesWillox, shill for glorified #PropertyDevelopers (we mean #universites), the #MigrationCouncil and other #speculators and #rentseekers. Two years ago, he was all too happy to make us vulnerable.

Four Corners did a good job of highlighting others on the "commission".

Well done, Four Corners! Maybe, the last #journalists in Australia.

@dlovell That's the #sophists vs. #philosophers debate all over again.

I realised a few years back (on Google+) that there were two major schools of online discussion. One is #rhetorical, aimed at winning or convincing. The other is #dialectic, interested in understanding or finding truth. The two are almost wholly incompatible.

Dialectic discussion depends strongly on (I want to say "requires", though I'm not certain of that) a mutual respect. It's quite easiy disrupted.

Encounters with rhetoricians should be considered at best training on their methods. References to the classsics, such as Aristotle's Sophistical Refutations (the original "Bullshit Arguments Which Must Die"), and Cicero, remain useful. Very rarely can you actually win a concession. Less rarely, learn something.

@woozle (toot.cat's Supreme Uberwensch) was party to that G+ thread and has a similar interest in epistemic debate.
