It was a simple question: "Only life can be aware? How do you know this?" How could I missed it? :grin: I have certainly answered you. Regarding both ...
You mean, what are my arguments about this, right? Because we all know things, don't we? So my argument is the following: All living organisms respond...
Oh, I was not meaning to invalidate your knowledge, @universeness! I'm very sorry about that! Really. :sad: I most probably pushed it to far. I do tha...
Proposed as what? (I just read the first para of the article to which your link refers to and it talks about an observation, not a proposition. Anyway...
I don't know where does this question refer to ... :chin: But as an independent question --e.g. a new topic :smile:-- my answer is maybe. It depends w...
Most probably, you mean an entitity, a living organism. Which is a special case. You can't generalize it and apply it to inanimate things, can you? Th...
Why am I not surprised? :smile: Good reference, BTW. :up: (Although I disagree with a few things.) Here's the link for thos who want to read more: htt...
What is your answer? I have checked a few other messages/comments that follow your description of the topic but couldn't find it. Maybe you have alrea...
What does this exactly mean? The term "Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)" is exaggerated. There's no actually such a thing as "artificial superintell...
I believe you are right, @unenlightened. Besides, I think I was the first to bring in mythology and patriarchy in this thread as part of the "sexism" ...
Crone, like the bagpie? I don't find it ugly at all. It's a great bird: proud, strong, energetic, intelligent and beautiful. Right. Better not. :smile...
Interesting indeed. Hijabs, long women dresses and customs are totally the opposite of the provocative momen styles in our "Christian" world! I know w...
I can't say much, but it is quite possible. However, we cannot compare goddesses with mortal women. We cannot even compare the status of the empresses...
Interesting. But doesn't all this have to do with Gallic/Celtic myths, the druids, etc. rather than Greek mythology? And I believe it is impossble tha...
While googling about misogyny in ancient Greece, I fell on a Quora question "Why were the ancient Greeks so sexist against women?", to which I answere...
All this is quite inteesting. Right. As I said, there was no God in ancient Greek religion, phiosophy or beliefs. Only gods. Socrates was accused --am...
In my Geek Lexikon there's no main definition of "????" (pr. theós) (= god) or even a single definition. . Instead it has been interpreted in various ...
Right. Good point. :up: Good idea! :up: Here they are again! :smile: I like that. More logical. Nice! I always believe that the story of Eve, the appl...
I dislike this guy a lot. He is the one responsible for the myth of the resurrection and the wrong road that Christianity followed, based on fake stor...
Ola! I had a look at "Dialects of Greek". Well, this is too much for me. I mean, I never performed well in history although I was a B+ student at scho...
In short, a real mess! :grin: True. I liked that. :up: As in every other language, I guess. (I don't know though about the Eskimo language! :grin:) Ri...
Nice passage. Looks interesting. I'll check it. Ionians were one of the four maain tribes Greeks derived from. You can check https://en.wikipedia.org/...
I don't know how is reading him in a foreign language, as good as the translation may be. For me, a big part of the value of his works lies in his lan...
I believe they wanted to bring the official language closest to the language simple, lay people speak, esp. in rural areas and villages. Communism was...
OK "Guidelines for Non-Sexist Use of Language"! :grin: I know about the issues of sexism in languages, but I couldn't imagine it could go that high in...
All Latin languages --Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French-- have endings. English and Greek languages have too. In Greek, even the second names are d...
I can undestand that the construction of "'s" alludes to sexism, after I read the following etymology in Wiktionary: "From Middle English -s, -es, fro...
Ola! Can you give me the reference about your OP and the rest so that I can know what you two are talking about? Thank you for using me as a reference...
Thank you for participating in this discussion. This sound interesting and I would like to know more about it. No, it doesn't support racism. It's rac...
Thank you for participating in this discussion. Natural selection is of course the main element in the evolution of life. But it leaves out a lot of o...
Thank you for your response to the topic. All this looks interesting, but unfortunately I cannot undestand much of it since I totally lack the necessa...
I have never questioned Darwin's ethics. Neither do the references I have found --some of which I have brought in here-- that are opposed to some aspe...
I have no doubt about that. And, as I do not recall well about the work(s) a I read from him in college, I'm not in a position to judge it (them) at p...
The references I brought up talk also about influences ouside science. Darwin’s influence is far from limited to science. His work has influenced a wi...
Because Darwin is still relevant today. Because his evolution theory and his works in general had a huge impact on the scientific world and our lives....
Agree. Agree. Right You lost me here! :grin: But it's OK. Not important. Right. As I mentioned to @Vera Mont earlier, words and semantics here are no ...
My remark about words and semantics referred to the element of language, based on what you said: "he couldn't have foreseen what the future speakers o...
Indeed, it applies to us in every sense. And IMO more than to animals, esp. in the sense of "strongest" or "more suitable for survival", which --for b...
I made a correction in an earlier comment about that: it was Alfred Russel Wallace, not Spencer himself who talked to and persuaded Darwin about "surv...
