L'éléphant

Yeah, thereby destroying your reverie.

Thank you. Nice anecdote. I like reading things like this. Damn car!

Hah! I knew it!! Astute. Replicate? I thought they were growing the real spider web for its property that could not be replicated in the lab. I actual...

@"Olivier5" I took the liberty of copying your comment here because the other thread is closed. My response is this: From Ice Age, Interrupted article...

I don't know about household name. I'm just really superior, so only intelligent people can take a hint. (not sure what hints you mean, but I can neve...

According to numerous articles, yes! You don't have to believe me -- it's all over the world.

This thread should not be confused with global warming created by humans! Fair warning.

No, not me. Really, I am superior both in appearance and in emotions. But yes, beautiful, no doubt!

I can never be a humble and simple person. It's the way I'm drawn in animation.

I suppose you get good physical exercise. Not bad. Will do. Thanks.

No offense, but this is bullshit. Citation is only accepted here if what you're saying is relevant and/or accepted by thread participants -- sadly. An...

Do you like your job? The ex introduced me to it. It's very good. I'm making it this weekend. Yes. Another example of superpower. Whatever happened to...

Yeah. I couldn't find an ant carrying something that heavy. But get a load of this. I don't know what fruit that is: https://us.123rf.com/450wm/issele...

Yup. Considering the one carrying it weighs nothing. With legs the diameter of a strand of hair? Impressive. You're gonna be a janitor?

Some people could get carried away with overthinking about which is heavier -- a kilo of cotton balls or a kilo of rocks!

Yeah, 'saw that.

No, dude. Milli scale. I ant = 1 milligram apparently. So, I stand corrected @"Metaphysician Undercover". An ant could carry 5 grams of something.

The Philosophy Forum members are robot overlords. Have you not been paying attention to that thread? :cool: Keep dreaming.

Nice analogy.

It wasn't what they're trying to present on the media. The robot was making repeated moves -- "most simply repeat the same basic actions – grab, move,...

And what did he catch? A deer or antelope? That's not trying to catch a prey. Also, he's doing it on a flat surface. A hummingbird can flap its wings ...

Okay. But what about leaping the length of 7x our body's length. And hunting at a vertical slope on a rugged mountain? And a sprint at 40 mph? Are the...

Humans don't have a wide range of variations in physical and biological traits like animals do. Take for example the snow leopard. Aren't their physic...

Amazingly, humans are equipped with an emotion monitor so that at the stage when the end is there already, the body sort of calms down. As an interest...

To ask this question for this topic is misplaced. Antinatalism is an ethics argument. As such, argumentation in the form of statements and reasoning w...

I'm not surprised. When the sickness is in the cellular level, no amount of positivity or fight would change that. However, those who are physically f...

I wouldn't dwell on it. I wouldn't have a choice. But I would prefer not to be alone. That said, I would be the representative of humanity. I'd try to...

Sure.

Exactly.

Computers (including AI) have designated locations of each and every part. Humans can have experiential events, for example, dreams, where the storage...

Computing, not thinking. Let's be clear on this.

This made me laugh. Thanks for posting it. Baden nailed it! Andrew was clever during the conversation!

This is an amusing thread. Credits to Athena. In my opinion, someone here already identified the ultimate test of what it is to be human. It's a very ...

Terrible. More power to Amber Heard.

Very well applied! To be honest, I've never heard of Alder's razor until now. So, in essence, we do not dispute what can only be surmised. We should r...

No. Metaphysical/psychological claim. What does it mean? It means we can't measure it, nor conduct a scientific experiment to show proof of it. It cou...

Hahahaha! I've never laughed harder while on this forum. :lol:

It's not my problem. I wasn't answering that issue. I was naming no. 8 for easy reference as to its relevance to the OP -- also given that the period ...

If some are using the cogito for their idealist view, we should let them be. But the cogito is NOT a view of idealism. Descartes is a dualist.

You're an idiot. And I'm done talking to you.

Hah! Good point.

See Miller quote. Also, I'd like to ask for you also to provide citation for your explanation of deconstruction. I'm not picky, just provide some publ...

Wrong way to put it. Deconstruction demonstrates there is no external source of the truth of our claims, rather Do you see why I charge skepticism? Ou...

Good. I didn't notice.

No contest with your disagreement with Miller's explanation. Yes, and this requires more explanation, of course. When deconstruction claims that we re...

BTW, you yourself cannot even provide an explanation Again, let Streetlight provide an answer to a reasonable request.

Awww. Stop this nonsense already. I took Derrida for one semester. I used Miller because he provided an authoritative explanation for what I needed. S...

Jackson's request is reasonable. Let Streetlight respond please.

Down to earth comment! There are better philosophical tools to critique ideas/written texts -- we don't need to use deconstruction.

I did. I provided Miller's explanation. I defer to his writing. Unlike you who provided blarbles on deconstruction. You have no idea what you're talki...
