I stated that computers are human made no living things and can't be compared to living organizations. Simple as that. You insist on something that I ...

No it doesn't precludes will. Where did I mention that? Each case is different. I just pointed out that computers as, let's say, cars are human made t...

No it isn't. Not everything man made is the same. Again, a clone is the same with computers? I can't understand why you find that so weird. Not all. B...

Your explanation seem to be the dominate one. And sounds truly the most possible one. I started that thread not cause I m sure that every living creat...

Well yeah it is. Even if the virus is man made it is a living thing. For example when scientists cloned the sheep Dolly or if they ever achieve to clo...

Could you elaborate it a little more? Not sure I realized where you stand on that.

Viruses designed naturally or in a lab are both something alive (well it's an open issue if they are but let's assume yes). Computers aren't the same ...

Ok got your point.

But for example with vaccinations when you "fight" the virus. It responds right? Some variations have much more resistance to vaccines. Trying to "fig...

That's true indeed?DNA tries to "kill itself"? Is it scientific proven or you use it as a metaphor? It's not ironic question . I'm just curious, I was...

Yeah I figured it out you believed so. And told you I have no argument to bring against that. It might be the case indeed.

Well no it is not will. But still I could never accept these comparisons with computers. Computers are children of the human mind. An alive creature a...

Why but these random genetic mutations seem to serve the purpose of existence. Right? I mean why to serve that purpose from the very beginning? I thin...

Why you think it will be deleted? Sorry I didn't get what you mean. I just wanted to focus on tiny forms of life as viruses and bacteria and its way o...

So in general, if I got it right, your point is that as everything, viruses variants are just an automatical mechanical procedure and includes no tran...

Yeah but a computer is manufactured by a living creature. Humans. Virus is already alive. Though from the Hanover's article I see that many doubt that...

I get what you mean but I don't use Will here with the typical philosophical meaning we give to it . I should have clarified it from the beginning. I ...

That's more or less the core of my question. Seems really weird to me indeed. Though it might be a biological scientific issue that I m not aware of

So these strains were there from the very beginning? Since "virus birth"?? And just some of them die and others survive? Haven't these strains develop...

Very interesting article. I always had the belief that viruses are alive indeed. As I see now it's an open issue. Though even from the article I was m...

Plus generalizations like these offer nothing but more fuel to the atheists / theists battle. Which has its immediate impact to our common societies w...

Indeed.

Is it irony or you think he is indeed? Idiot indeed has Greek origins from the word Tim also mentioned "???????". Which meant in ancient Greece "the o...

It does work that way indeed. Christianity as every other religion changes over time and its "translation" too. Following the humanitarian morality pr...

Well in fact there are many passages in Bible which there is discrepancy. That's why there are so many different "versions" of Christianity. Cause man...

Yeah many believe that indeed. From my personal experience the majority of religion people claim is that God will judge all those who don't believe, i...

No they don't. There is indeed a portion of Christian fanatics who might believe this but the main majority don't. There are even more Christians who ...

I would call "all in" for the opposite. And it's totally the opposite indeed. Exactly cause all that "load" you mention is different makes your percep...

Solving death would mean the "creation" of new kind of human. So philosophy I guess is the least of the things that will change afterwards. Everything...

Yes it is I think. Since the receiver always has the option not to show patience. Like in Eagle Scout example you gave, it's just about how much the p...

Sorry I couldn't resist.You are weird. Bye.

What reading has to do with the silly definition game you play here?What exactly I stated here that was ignorant? You regard a philosophical problem m...

So exactly which of these common view criteria mind meets as to consider it as "matter"?? Is there any substance of mind that has been observed? Or yo...

Science, among others, is what provide us proofs as to categorize what we observe to "matter". Such proofs haven't been provided in the case of "mind"...

But I don't put any effort at all for that. It's what I can do a priori. I can observe myself. I was born with that ability. I can walk also. When I w...

"Technological scientific means-tools" is a statement? And meaningless too? Aspects of human behavior like morality are physical? Do they have" matter...

What exactly are you talking about? You misrepresent my views and you ask me to answer to your fictional questions also? Where exactly i stated that p...

Yeah I did .Both of them. And that's why I asked you. Have you? Kant makes possible explanations about space time and also explanations about human a ...

Philosophy isn't theoretical? I can't understand that. What else is? Practical? So for example Kant who made suggestions and propositions about space ...

Cause that's what humanity always did. Not my stuff. It's our a priori thirst for answers. Philosophy was always trying to find possible explanations ...

My statement is based on the fact that science hasn't been able to find a physical form to describe the essence of thoughts, ideas etc. At least not y...

Photons are identified with technological scientific means and exist on their own in nature(even without human existence). So of course are physical. ...

By physical we mean what science have identified and observed so far. We define physical and material according to what science taught us so far. If a...

My question is to you and any other member who knows better. Does Space actually exists? I mean out of human experience that we understand it, does it...

Being here and now. Living inside the moment! So simple but so damn difficult.

The thing is that mind is clearly something non physical. So either "physical" and "material"(brain) , as we define it according to the known existing...

In fact that's the real problem.And the root question of mind-body problem also.

I think the answer you are looking for is our Ego. The closest the issue is to our core beliefs the angrier we get defending our opinions about it, in...

Your opinion.

What is not good though is offending others. Rephrasing their objections about mods decision by calling them "misogynist apologists". As if anyone sup...
