L'éléphant

No. It just means that the spinal cord and the brain sustained a major trauma (losing a limb) that threw the system into disorder. We never said that ...

At 22 pages of this of thread, I'm way too late to contribute productively as I cannot read all of what's already been said. That said, I'm interested...

The pain is in your foot -- but neurons communicate with each other to send to your brain the message that your foot hurts. Your brain doesn't "hurt",...

I understand your annoyance. But jgill's objection makes sense. Without some numbers behind your hypothesis, it remains a metaphorical device. And Phy...

No. It's not like that. I can speak about it. Tranquil, yes. But the day to day things you want to do, you do it without anxiety or worry. You sleep b...

Thank you.

I am experiencing another death in my world. Several months ago, I found out that my cousin and friend was dying of cancer, stage 4. (too young to be ...

It would no longer be called "death" but a passing to another realm. This is how in the ancient times, when human sacrifice was practiced, people did ...

No, it's not nonsense. There is something else that needs to be added to the explanation. I've said this before already, and no one seems to care to i...

hehehe. :cool:

:sweat: Whatever, Hanover.

I actually copied his "on a tree" in keeping with the video owner. Not sure if it's preference. If chickens grow on trees, then they're on a tree. :co...

Okay.

We can talk wisely about the world, if you'd like. Indirect realism does not deny the reliability of our perception -- how else could we have come up ...

There is no "naked world" if it's within our system of references. We can't get outside it.

We have devices that can show us those. So, it's not the issue.

That's fine. No harm done.

Strange. I don't see @"I like sushi" contributing to this thread.

Ah, so here we go. I'm glad you folks have the same thought process, because now I could lay down the argument on the idea that what we see is indirec...

This is wrong. It's the indirect realist that actually gets it. Their view is not "faulty", rather they acknowledge that their view is a representatio...

:snicker:

:gasp: That was Banno's statement. I gave it a thumbs up, though. Right? :grin: Is it green cardamom pods, @"Banno"?

Good. Just as we have Descartes's animal cruelty to tarnish his name, Heidegger has more serious issues.

Do not put the cardamom in a korma. :up: But pods in the rice? :gasp: Is it good? To my taste, it suits me, I think. It's more mellow.

Takes a bow. More mellow spice mixture.

So true. Fashion does not care about waste or over abundance.

Not yet. That's why they add coconut milk or something creamy, to temper the two. What @"Noble Dust" and I were talking about is a dish without a mell...

Better yet, get the artisan or italian bread. They remain softer longer, and they also toast well, with croquant outside and soft inside.

I believe so. Get the american style of those bread -- somehow they've tempered them. lol.

Just as I thought. We're the same -- I also did not find the chicken great, just okay. So, the taste for cumin clashes with cardamom. Meaning -- if yo...

Sandwich -- smoked turkey slices, havarti cheese slice, leaves of arugula, then wipe the bread with jalapeno ranch dressing.

Let me ask you this -- do you like cumin? Yes or no? Salad and sandwich parts -- not as sophisticated as yours. The sandwich parts are put together wh...

This has been argued by philosophers in meaning and objective reality. If you believe in objective reality, then meaning is out there for us to grasp ...

Can you make that for two people, please? I do meal prep for the week as well.

The only better way is to use less disposable things and use, instead, things that can be used for many years, like stainless steel forks, knives, spo...

At the risk of derailing this thread -- I think we already did, btw. I will respond one more time. The details are vast and long to discuss here. That...

:up: I guess I can't steal that word "quibbleable" now. You own it. I see.

Not wrong or confused. You have to look at the time of Constantine, who made the formal acknowledgement of the Christian religion around 313 CE. The s...

Fingers are the most durable and the most hardworking of all our body parts, I think. (Okay, the heart is the king) They can regenerate when cut up to...

:sweat: Sorry to hear that. I hope your finger is okay now.

Okay, thanks for the heads up. :up: I didn't know there's a shoutbox training.

Sorry to quibble, but quarks are sub-atomic, not atomic, and considered to be the smallest particle. Then on the non-quibble, is Kant's work really a ...

All these talks about severed finger and meat pies make me feel ill. :vomit: Hanover shouldn't be cooking while bleeding or growing a finger.

No, not me. I have not bothered to understand it.

Of course not! You never practiced Stoicism yourself. You're just talking here in the forum. Practice it then come back and report to us if you've bec...

.

I suppose there is a thing called adaptation -- we could take the teachings of Stoicism and use in our life.

Well, there's my answer as to why it was once a good practice.
