I can really not say anytthing more about neurons than what I have already said. OK, but as we have already established there's no analogue computer. ...
I don't know about that, never subsribed to it, but I have been to a couple of other philosophical forums and they suck big time! I can openly say tha...
It's time for me to mention that all this stuff with memory, neurons, cells, etc. is kind of "floating on the air". There's still no definite proof th...
Actually, computers are created for computations (as the word itself implies). The first computers had a very small memory capacity. You were using th...
Exactly! It's what I mentioned at the end of my previous message! :grin: (The topic was --and still is-- "Can we see the brain as an analogue computer...
Yes, I got that you are talking theoretically (because this is what "potentially" implies). That's why I gave you a practical example, one that can be...
What kind of "process"? Anyway, it doesn't really matter. I am talking from a practical point of view. I will give you a very simple example. Just wri...
Don't be so ready to belittle them! Computers can do a million things better and faster than us! :smile: Besides, they are extensions of our mind. In ...
Re "AI": Yes, speed and also storage capacity (e.g. big data). Human memory capacity looks tiny compared to it! And, although thinking works at the sp...
Certainly. Interesting! Neural networking is also a hot subject in artificial intelligence! As for chess, although computers (chess programs) can beat...
I am afraid that you are trying to justify your mistake, making it much bigger than what it was, instead of just accepting the --again, minor-- correc...
Good for him! :smile: First of all, computers work on a digital basis. The brain, on the other hand, is neither analog nor digital. It works using sig...
This is true for some coersive, suppressing institutions that try to prevent people's self-development, independent thought etc. Medicine is a typical...
In order to speak about "omnibenevolence" ("unlimited, infinite benevolence"), we must first speak about "benevolence", which is "The quality of being...
What??? Do you mean that if I don't feel anything, I am emotionless, I can't experience anything and/or be conscious (aware) of anything? Do you reall...
I just checked two sources and they both talk about Christan texts written in Greek. Nothing to do with Ancient Greek texts. Also, this kind of inform...
, cc. Do you maybe mean "morality"? (Morale is "the confidence, enthusiasm, and discipline of a person or group at a particular time" (common definiti...
I'm not either, of course. For one thing I don't know even where to start from! But, as I said, "I would like to start doing something about that." It...
You maybe right about that. It's something personal, i.e., it depends on the cases one has encounteredin his life. I personally, avoid to speak about ...
Right, Cyril of Alexandria was not with eastern church Most probably not the western either. However, he was contermporary to Theodosius II who in 448...
I don't know if you have followed the thread. I have cleared in my comments and the information I delivered that they were based on personal experienc...
How does "feel deep down" differ from "experienced as strong feeling" in the definition I brought up? And why "deep down"? Emotions can be very light ...
Yes, certainly they are connected, but intelligence does not imply ethics. Ethics, pure ethics (as a system, a philosophy), on the other hand, imply i...
This is true, but I would stress more the average ethical than the intellectual level, which seems to get lower with time. And I believe that religion...
This is where dictionaries come in handy! :smile: "Emotion" from Merriam-Webster (First definition): "A conscious mental reaction (such as anger or fe...
You are right not to judge and I don't either. Besides, in way, we all live in some kind of illusion or other! But I know, from personal experience, t...
Some may indeed have. They are usually those who have seriously studied their religion and/or have a religious/spiritual guide, usu. a priest. But the...
That's an interesting miniature history of philosophy! :smile: Is there something missing here? I was expecting something like "rather that not (to be...
Yes, I know, but they insignificant, not worthy mentioning and much less considering. Anyway, we have lost focus (since quite a while ago!) and deviat...
Please, be a jolly chap again! It's much mor fun! :grin: OK, I admit I disregarded this. My bad! It may well be so! (And I see you got your humor back...
I assume you mean physical evidence. Yes, there is. Emotions are responses in the form of wavelengths (physical) produced by non-material information ...
"In the philosophy of mind, dualism is the theory that the mental and the physical – or mind and body or mind and brain – are, in some sense, radicall...
What do you mean by "mental content"? Are you identifying the brain with mind or saying that part of the brain is mind? If this is so, it is in confli...
First of all, I said that jokingly. (Didn't you see the laughing emoji?) Second, it's not that irrelevant as you say, since we are talking about order...
Whether Einstein, eh, I mean God, plays dice or not! :grin: Note: Maybe physicists know better? I am not good in Physics ... so I can't take part in t...
