I desire for all of us to try harder.

How do we encourage critical thinking without tipping over into hostility-land?

I hope she comes back to flesh out her thoughts more clearly,
but if someone likened my thoughts to "Pot smoking induced rambling that
belongs in nonsense," well,I would probably bristle at that for a while.

So now what?

S'mores anyone?
I'm buyin...
I'm not sure, in my world it is the individual who is responsible for how their percieve and understand things, and to find it within themselves to understand why they are upset by something. This means that the other external individuals are not or cannot be responsible for the internal feelings of one's self. In simplistic terms, there is no reason to look for flame where there is none, but simply to say that there is smoke and leave the room is a bit on the overly cautious side.

premeditated innocent presumes:
(a) some kind of criminal context in which the terms are a contradiction
or
(b) some version of a different type of contradiction, on the order of "mediated immediacy"---but that you might experience if you were really into a television program, experienced it immediately, say.

you could see in choosing not to do a criminal act a premeditated innocence.



after thinking about it for a while, i decided to neglect neglecting.


but that's about the phrase.
can one be self-consciously unself-conscious?
sure.
I'm not sure about the genre protocols, but if this is to be dissected on the merits of philosophy on 3 words grouped together, then in following your semantics, the very fact you've altered the order changes the meaning and thus the philosophy behind it.

Does this mean we could have philosophical discussion via random word generator systems?

we could use Random Word Generator (Plus) and just grab the first three words to see what kind of philosophy we can garner from it.

Oddly enough it seemed the game easier played with just 2 since I'm also neglecting negletcin (which I can't find for any word in any dictionary at all.)

Now if we were to talk about philosphy from 2 words, I'd say it's easy to start with something wherein there is assocation to the words, such as "I am" since there are whole lifetimes of study associated with Yahweh.

Your ending at least puts us into a construct of familiarity which is more on the plane of oxymoron, and less about philosophy.
