Re "hard determinism does not make ethics irrelevant": "hard determinism", by definition, is incompatible with free will. Changing that, tying to "swe...

I see. Stop reproducing ... But there will always be rich people who could find means to make people reproduce and governments who could force people ...

OK. What solution do you propose for all that?
October 13, 2021 at 14:11
Great explanation! :grin:

"Antisocial" is someone who is against the laws and/or customs of a society and also who is considered an annoyance to and is disapproved by the socie...

Science decaying in the way an apparatus is decaying? :confused: OK.
October 12, 2021 at 08:52
Like what?
October 12, 2021 at 08:45
You have mentioned at least 3 frameworks in which the subject of "soul" is studies and treated: religion, philosophy and existential psychology. In ea...

In what way then? :brow: Aha! Didn't see that coming! I thought that yourself believed in the deacy of science! OK then, let others believe that! :smi...

Why is vision the strongest sense? I have not that kind of knowledge but I guess that the human body structure is such that it relies basically on vis...
October 11, 2021 at 15:34
Imagining is a kind of thinking and thoughts are mainly mental images. That's why your vision is the strongest sense. Your other senses may be present...

Thanks. It's good to have an audience. Even of a single person! But ... what about subjectively? It wasn't as good? :smile: Certainly. The word "real"...

I don't think that there's such a thing as an "anti-scientific movement". If you can provide some references ... Likewise about "anti-scientific senti...

:up: Ha, ha! Nice! :grin: :grin: ... This place desperately needs this kind of stuff!!
October 07, 2021 at 10:32
Well, a statement is a definite or clear expression of something. And this is too general. So a complete sentence that expresses something may qualify...
October 06, 2021 at 17:00
Good point. I assume you mean that these are "thigns" and "true" or "false" cannot be applied to them. Right, @TiredThinker made a mistake in not spec...
October 06, 2021 at 16:37
Interesting. Can you give a practical example of that? (I read about contradictions in your description but could not actually find any paradoxicality...
October 06, 2021 at 16:21
Right. This statement applies to a fact as I myself indicated. But @TiredThinker has not cleeared this up. He referred to "things" in general. Which i...
October 06, 2021 at 15:50
First of all, I believe you should specify what "things" you are talking about. Because "apples" are "things" and "true" or "false" cannot be applied ...
October 06, 2021 at 15:29
Good point. BTW, your question "Do Brussels sprouts taste good?" calls for a "Yes or no" answer. "True or false?" is asked on statements, not question...

Since you talk about "comfortability", the people in the cave most probably felt "comfortable" too, since they didn't know another world, neither was ...
October 03, 2021 at 22:12
You have replied to me that your topic was a kind of answer to @TheMadFool about undestanding. This didn't change at all my wondering of how has the s...
October 02, 2021 at 18:25
(BTW, You might want to correct "irregardless" to "regardless".) First of all, I will define "reality" as it is commonly used, so that I can comment o...
October 02, 2021 at 18:17
I read this of course. But it's still about undestanding ... and my wondering is still unanswered! :grin: Well, in that case, even if you had used a m...

I have been a professional translator (freelance) for the same amount of years! However, I never thought of my job as something that is all about unde...

If it were a honest response I would just say "OK" (two letters). But it wasn't. Besides, according to your spirit of communication, since you didn't ...
September 29, 2021 at 10:23
Just "Thank you for your response" suffices. It only takes a couple of seconds of your time, which I believe are well spent, because you show that you...

Dear @TheMadFool, you are asking me to teach you in here a subject that takes months to learn! Besides, I have already told you quite a few things tha...
September 26, 2021 at 17:08
OK, we both believe that each is not reading or undestanding of what the other says. So, here's something more general and simple: It is very evident ...
September 26, 2021 at 10:44
I thought I have already cleared that there;s no such thing as "true AI". Do you actually read my comments? I'm sorry to ask that, but your above stat...
September 25, 2021 at 10:05
None taken. I wonder why you don't find the question "Does thinking take place in the human brain?" straight ... There are 3 words/phrases that could ...
September 25, 2021 at 09:01
I don't use this expression. I normally specify "Descartes' dualism", because "mind-body dualism" is attributed to various philosophers since ancient ...
September 24, 2021 at 08:45
I certainly agree with this! Welcome to the club! I feel better "hearing" such things, not so much because they are congruent with my views, but mainl...
September 24, 2021 at 08:12
All that is unnecessarily too complicated! You could just answer, "Indeed, they are conflicting statements." And make some correction or something. An...
September 24, 2021 at 07:36
But I don't have to see anything ... I already know! :smile: Aren't these conflicting statements? You say "yes" (i.e. thinking takes place in the huma...
September 23, 2021 at 08:04
Sounds nice, but in what form does this intelligence exist? I would prefer, of course, "consciousness is everywhere" instead! :smile: I don't undestan...
September 23, 2021 at 07:47
1) There is no can be such a thing as a "true AI". All AIs are true. AI refers to systems or machines that mimic human intelligence to perform tasks a...
