If you could suggest some further reading I'd be grateful.

Don't get me started on Decante

However, I do remember Dawkins writing about how Plato's forms may have held back evolutionary theory.

Since people were more likely to think of animals such as a cat, having some ideal of "cat"

Rather than just being a transitional species in between one branch of an ever-growing evolutionary tree

With no real "ideal" animal

I've honestly found that philosophy is interesting as a historical reference of the mentality of scholars from particular time periods, as well as an idea of how political and scholarly principals formed throughout intellectual history.

I have a question for you.

Since you're 3/4ths through a whiskey bottle.

Do you understand what you just wrote?

i do

I do too, but does HE

hes clint eastwood

he can understand anything

lol

Of course I understand what I'm talking about.

the niggas got punctuation

hes good

Give me an example of "political and scholarly principals" or define it, if you will.

I have a particularly ellegant form of writing when I'm speaking in an intellectual/philosophical form of speaking

principles or principals?

Good for you. My teachers have told me I am eloquent on my papers

TO answer your question, I would consider political principles ideological towards the way one must conduct themselves, or would suggest a collective of individuals to conduct themselves based on a specific ideology.

In regards to what would be considered 'Scholarly principals', I believe they would be defined as being ideas or concepts that are presented by an individual with intentions to be informative of one's conduct, but nonetheless up for debate to an intellectual community.

The Scholarly principals being what the current ideological movement was at the time you are setting this in?

Okay dude, let's tone down the eloquence and instead focus on being precise

but i was having fun

Ok then

The first one is 'Belive what I say, shitcunts'

And the other one is 'This is what I believe, shitcunts, have fun with it'

Also I understood what you said, it's just that so much of what you said was unecessary information.

For example

"but nonetheless up for debate to an intellectual community."

then whats the point of being eloquent xD

woohoo, im getting $311 dollars back from tax returns!!

this information did not add to your sentence

So scrap it.

I'm getting $650 back from tax returns. Yay! I'll be able to pay off some debt

Good sir i quite undoubtedly believe you are being unfairly biased towards this mans chosen way of wording and transcription.

He's saying a lot of pointless shit to look smart.

Ya ever been to congress

No, I agree, I do need to be able to concentrate my points into a more direct explaination

Philosophical discussions should be PRECISE. Spare your eloquence for poetry.

Yea true
