Re: Eyes or hands?


I only share links or suggest that someone read an article when it has relevance to what is being discussed and it's not meant to come across as 'do your own research', which I consider insulting (not always). Philosophy's main tool is language - we are trying to come up with the best possible ...

I honestly don't know what those are, and I will look them up after this post. But the story is actually my .... 3rd grade level interpretation of what "it" comes from. I can't tell ...

Re: Being



He didn't know why he was there or where he came from but also knew it was for a purpose.

What I will say as an interjection, is that biological sex defining gender in terms of reproductive capability is a social construct that has been performed from Christianity onwards, see Monique Wittig's work 'The Straight Mind'.
