And yet those systems created something that would have been labeled very intelligent if we had created it. You know, the glory of the universe is bey...

Ok, fair enough, not really arguing with that. But technically at least, I'm unaware of any substantial reasons why Israelis couldn't pack up and leav...

I'm definitely an interested in where you are going, but I could use some help in going there with you. You seem to have summarized years of investiga...

That's a good question! I'm stumped for the moment. What do I mean by "reality is intelligent"??

It does seem reasonable to question the rationality of a long oppressed people seeking a safe home in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods on Earth...

Your point is taken. But to agree with it wouldn't we have to presume that we who judge levels of intelligence are more intelligent than the reality w...

Continuing with my current obsession... What if some religious people (not those simply repeating memorized slogans) are intelligent and sensitive eno...

Ah, I see now. You are brilliant and everyone else is stupid. I must admit, that's probably the most original idea I've ever read on any philosophy fo...

It's fine as it is if you don't mind that few to none seem to be getting it. I'm fine with that too, so we aren't arguing.

Ok, what I hear you saying here is that you don't consider your idea to merit any further work. So you are in essence expressing a degree of agreement...

Could I suggest starting over in a new thread? Consider your OP here a first draft, and see how you can improve on it. Shorter, clearer, more direct.

I've been listening to NPR daily for years, and they've gone way off the deep end in the "woke" direction. I've taken to calling them the "Fox News Of...

Here's an example of how the challenges presented by science arise not from science itself, but from our relationship with science. Knowledge developm...

Yea, I'm not Christian or religious, but I agree with this. The parable method has proven it's value in connecting over thousands of years. You know, ...

There is value in the view from the mountain top, and value in a view not from the mountain top. Society would collapse if everyone was inspecting and...

Our use of science is the source of technology. We typically seek power to edit our environment, which usually requires knowledge. Science is good at ...

If we were to edit that claim to read our relationship with science, then the claim has some merit. Blaming science would be like blaming a hammer for...

You should be able to do that in your browser. I do that myself. Sometimes a site's layout will get destroyed by larger fonts, but it seems to work he...

Yes, agreed, if we define the context, the goal, then we can measure something against that goal.

To me, the simplistic nature of the question is a problem. Debating whether science is good or bad is like debating whether religion is good or bad, o...

We, um, lasted 15 minutes... :-)

The premise "knowing stuff is good" would seem to be based on the assumption that we are mature enough to successfully manage any amount of knowledge,...

Part of the problem may be in the question. As others have commented, science is just a tool, it is neither good or bad in itself. Hammers are a commo...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstorm_(1983_film) Decided to rent the movie, looks interesting. Thanks. $3 rental on Amazon Prime.

What is the standard which is being used to evaluate inferiority vs. superiority? Inferior in regards to what? As example, the evidence suggests that ...

The premise "science is a good thing" could use some refinement. Good for what? If the goal is the development of new knowledge, then science is clear...
