You understand that when they say "reward," they're talking about what happens in the brain as far as which chemicals are released into the synapses, ...

I think you get along alright. Check out those journals, they're cutting edge frontier kind of stuff, no kidding.
February 03, 2022 at 23:58
I'm sorry, dude. But, you're not equipped to have this discussion. Here, take these, I just posted them in an above forum. Read these and after that, ...
February 03, 2022 at 23:43
That is specifically what I said, "and is connected to the entire neural, and emotional processing networks of the body." The prefrontal cortex is the...
February 03, 2022 at 23:40
They are generated by your brain which is a constituent element of you and the sole source of all cognition that distinguishes your will from everyone...
February 03, 2022 at 23:04
No, you have only the control allotted to you through executive function by the pre frontal cortex. Most of your motion is subconscious, thoughts are ...
February 03, 2022 at 23:03
That's specifically my point. Will is free and perpetually in operation unless force, or trauma is applied. Those internal voices are your voices, the...
February 03, 2022 at 22:56
So, if someone is forcing you to do something, your internal hierarchy of values will reorient your desire to initiate behavior which is, in accordanc...
February 03, 2022 at 22:09
If you do not want to go right, you will not do so, unless a separate desire is presented that would have you go right that supercedes the previous de...
February 03, 2022 at 21:55
That is exactly right. These assertions from Arendt are being informed by outdated notions of will and freedom, across multiple philosophical interpre...
February 03, 2022 at 21:52
No, I don't have discord. But, yeah, I'll dm.
February 03, 2022 at 21:26
No, you're just growing less mad that I'm easily dismissing the arguments of this philosopher. I'm pleased to say that I'm looking forward to you fina...
February 03, 2022 at 21:23
Well, again, values inform the will. As pattern processing mamals with executive function, we have the capacity to store concepts in memory to build c...
February 03, 2022 at 21:21
I don't know what to say to this.
February 03, 2022 at 20:58
And in which case you will not be oppressing your will, but fulfilling it. The control center responsible for pattern processing and executive functio...
February 03, 2022 at 20:58
No, you can't. The term will encompasses the sum total of human thought and action. And where as thought and action are controlled by the brain, and t...
February 03, 2022 at 20:45
Hey, this isn't an argument, and as you've simply insulted me again, instead of telling me what is awry in my assessment, or even telling me which ass...
February 03, 2022 at 20:36
Oh, yeah, I never meant to imply that some of these ideas weren't neat. I simply play the role I am committed to as a philosopher in training. I have ...
February 03, 2022 at 20:33
Damn it, bud. I wanted to tackle individual topics at a time to limit all this writing, lol! Which one you want me to hit first? Quote it and I'll res...
February 03, 2022 at 20:07
Which is another problematic definition, as one is free as one sleeps without someone interupting said sleep. Furthermore, modern cognitive neuroscien...

:flower:
February 03, 2022 at 19:33
That's because you're not thinking clearly. Any side where mass murderers reside is no place for any ethical human. But, you know what I think. I bet ...
February 03, 2022 at 19:30
Very good, had me kind of worried. I like to think at least a good portion of my fellow man have some sense in their, at that at last this may be one ...
February 03, 2022 at 19:26
Sucks even more that both combatants are mass murdering relious zealots that justify their atrocities because of flying donkeys and talking asses. Hum...
February 03, 2022 at 19:04
Word, I dig.
February 03, 2022 at 19:00
There is no apartheid, and Arabs hold office, property, and professional careers in Israel. There is no ethinic clensing, you've eaten the propaganda....
February 03, 2022 at 18:59
Very well, my apologies, must have misunderstood. Diversity as a standard for filling a Court seat with the responsibility of interpreting the law, an...
February 03, 2022 at 18:56
I see, yes, among other assertions she presents that do not make sense. Yes, nobody says the mere concept is sufficient to create the "life of freedom...
February 03, 2022 at 18:53
As a result of the sovereignty of individual boundaries being recognized between people, predominantly. Which implies people accruing property and tra...
February 03, 2022 at 18:43
No, it doesn't evade anything. Just a remark. I wasn't making an argument against what you said, as I expounded on afterward. Nobody here has argued f...
February 03, 2022 at 18:42
Just put it to the test privately. Think about all of the things you use for survival on a daily basis that is provided to you by the market, includin...
February 03, 2022 at 18:34
That's correct, and in non- slavery one is free and does not need liberation to know it. This concept of freedom is in accordance with her hisrorical ...
February 03, 2022 at 18:30
I provided an example of the phenomenon you mentioned, not addressing the process that is involved in such a phenomenon failing against forces that wo...
February 03, 2022 at 17:46
I would highly recommend that. These organizations can't be trusted to tell you shit that isn't meant to make you thin how they want you to think. Go ...
February 03, 2022 at 17:37
Yes, that is exactly what one is left to think reading this, I agree. More like exercise of the recognition of sovereignty for the constituents from w...
February 03, 2022 at 17:35
Yes, that seems clear as regards all domains of conceptual framework, not just freedom. For example the Manhattan Project could never have manifested ...
February 03, 2022 at 17:26
Well, if I could stimulate you to a response to your own question, I might ask what are the evolutionary pressures and conditions that would needs be ...
February 03, 2022 at 17:21
This is true. However, in the course of her unclear explication of freedom, she actually concedes its true requirement, although it would take a coupl...
February 03, 2022 at 16:52
If that is what you meant, then you and I are allies. But, the general view of this topic pits Israel against Palestine as institutions, which is nons...
February 03, 2022 at 16:18
No, it isn't. The actions the Israeli's apropos the settlements are in fact evil, but for it to be an apartheid state, institutional, as in reinforced...
February 03, 2022 at 16:15
Organizations that launch rockets into civilians zones in the hopes of murdering innocent humans that are not their combatants, en masse, are not vict...
February 03, 2022 at 16:08
Israel isn't an apartheid state and is under constant threat from those they engage with militaristically. To hold one side more accountable for carna...
February 03, 2022 at 16:03
So, a bit like Plato's anamnesiac idea of recalling the forms which are already embued in your memory banks that simply need to be triggered, eh? Very...
February 03, 2022 at 15:56
That's actually the key here. Rocks don't formulate the concept of freedom. Only humans do. And as humans are individually confined to their own consc...
February 03, 2022 at 15:42
Expound on that, would you? I've never heard of it.
February 03, 2022 at 15:29
It provides less than what it takes. The state steals at least 25% of my labor-earnings (labor), while providing very few benefits to me, of which I d...
February 03, 2022 at 15:25
Stop it, Harry. You can't will that rational assessment freely like that. Others are required to provide that freedom to you in the form of not imping...
February 03, 2022 at 14:58
Can you provide clarity on this statement? It could mean many things at once depending on one's current perceptual orientation.
February 03, 2022 at 14:48
It's almost as if the domain of freedom requires individuals within that domain to value freedom for that domain to exist... I get the feeling that so...
