I see. Which is to say there's no such thing as mental illness in animals, oui mon ami?

So other people exist as per whoever "he" is! :up:
October 19, 2022 at 02:33
I don't want to upset your apple cart mon ami.
October 18, 2022 at 10:02
Indeed it can be! :cool:

No, good job!

October 18, 2022 at 09:20
Oh, ok!
October 18, 2022 at 09:17
So, we're on the same page, mon ami?
October 18, 2022 at 09:17
There is a problem, no?

Si, si señor/señorita!

You have a point of course - atheism is more phikosophical than theism.

How come there are no documented cases of insanity in wild animals? Also, there are no animal philosophers.
October 18, 2022 at 09:06
I don't know how to explain that.
October 18, 2022 at 08:27
True that. I completely forgot, but perhaps my subconscious didn't. Muchas gracias.
October 18, 2022 at 07:57
There I think you're mistaken, but to be fair to you theology can be quite antiphilosophical.
October 18, 2022 at 07:56
Fascinating!

I want to disagree, but I have to agree. Sic vita est.

It follows from what ya said, monsieur!

True mon ami, true! The reason God isn't real is not because He doesn't exist!
October 18, 2022 at 04:54
Danke! Well, 'tis true, some functions have a duration, a time limit as it were and beyond that all that remains is to study the forms employed. As fa...

Ok. Create a list of what you believe is real and unreal things for my benefit then; also I merely mentioned what is widely held to be true.
October 18, 2022 at 04:24
An example ... please.

People say that ... 1. The Eiffel tower is real 2. Sri Xi Jinping is real 3. Monsieur Sherlock Holmes is not real 4. Fairies are not real Why?
October 18, 2022 at 03:48
Always being in a tight spot; either Hobson's choice or Sophie's choice. This is the nub of (my) pessimism.
October 18, 2022 at 03:19
I see. God has been from a certain point in history portrayed as this benevolent figure that oversees/maintains the moral dimension.
October 18, 2022 at 02:32
I wonder what the intelligence gap is between humans and gods? If it's huge enough, our idea of justice maybe hopelessly far behind gods', making any ...

The takeaways from dish-brain are 1. It learned (to play Pong). 2. The brain seems reducible to electrochemistry (chemical-based electricity i.e. the ...

Does my comment not address your question adequately? If no, why?
October 18, 2022 at 01:44
Yep, you have a point, but look at it from the persepective of topics instead of methodology.
October 18, 2022 at 01:43
Indeed, that's one way to look at it, but running with a diagrammatic approach I can also see a spectrum with 100% objectivity at one end and 100% sub...
October 18, 2022 at 01:42
It looks very complicated from where I stand. Perhaps more advanced folks might be of greater assistance to you than me.
October 18, 2022 at 01:39
How intelligent are we again? :snicker:
October 17, 2022 at 06:08
Bullseye!
October 17, 2022 at 05:49
A good question!
October 17, 2022 at 05:13
The Big Bang isn't, to my knowledge, a cause as much as it's the purported beginning (of our universe), oui mon ami? As for singleton events, like for...

My own views on causation, in response to the issue you raise, is that it's a pattern: 1. sunlight + water + soil + seeds \to germination of seeds 2. ...
October 17, 2022 at 02:15
Well, I don't know. My bucket list is surely going to be very different from my day-to-day to-do list.
October 17, 2022 at 01:56
Much obliged for the short & sweet explanation mon ami.
