(likes strawman arguments cuz has none)
March 05, 2022 at 02:17
You really believe that? Even after everything we have discovered up to this point with everything else in science? What happens if we do, then? Do yo...
March 05, 2022 at 01:57
Currently, yes, that's correct.
March 05, 2022 at 01:53
Yeah, I'm willing to accept that. 100%
March 05, 2022 at 01:44
A fair assertion. What is this area beyond the individual, and when does anybody involved contemplate an ethical action without a self-beneficial anal...
March 05, 2022 at 01:42
I actually wouldn't find this to be suprising to found out is quite literally the case. I was just chatting with the wife about it tonight. It's impos...
March 05, 2022 at 01:34
Slander would imply a falsehood in my statement, which wasn't there. I suppose it too much to ask that one reads what I say, rather than simply interp...

Strawman dismissed with laughter.
March 05, 2022 at 01:21
No, arbitrary would be appropriate to use as a descriptor for an argument the reduces consciousness to the level of byronic matter, in an attempt to p...

One of my favorites.
March 04, 2022 at 22:54
The evolution part isn't what is important at this level of analysis. What is important, is that system that has evolved to produce concepts that allo...
March 04, 2022 at 22:54
So, no that's just not what's going on. I mean, you might have some scientists that say such things, but that's not what most scientists say at all ab...
March 04, 2022 at 22:50
lol, you're ridiculous. I thought I was about to see some mind blowing shit. But, while we're at it, have you ever heard this song? If not check out t...
March 04, 2022 at 22:38
....... Is this supposed to be serving a purpose?
March 04, 2022 at 22:34
Because chemicals don't formulate conceptual framework of behavior on their own, meaning they aren't irrelevant to ethics. Chemicals operate in a non-...
March 04, 2022 at 22:31
A good point, brother. The perspective is this: modern cognitive neuroscience has reveal that the brain itself, and all of its mysterious functions ar...

Shit, I'd rather live in the woods with my wife and dog....
March 04, 2022 at 22:01
Then what can one mean by "only be obtained from other men?"
March 04, 2022 at 22:00
What it proves is that humans are the source of morality. I'll let you handle that one on your own. nota bene: reduction cannot apply as a descriptor ...
March 04, 2022 at 21:59
Distributed cognition, then?
March 04, 2022 at 21:56
Specifically spies and espionage.
March 04, 2022 at 21:44
First I have to find the people willing to let philosophy win over ideology. Prospects aren't looking too good just yet.
March 04, 2022 at 21:43
That's pretty much the same thing in a different wrapper. The method is what I'm highlighting, not how the method is employed. But, what exactly do yo...
March 04, 2022 at 21:38
Epistemology. Schools have a way of telling us what information and knowledge is there, but not how to obtain it, the methods, the tools, the conceptu...
March 04, 2022 at 21:31
Put some thought to it.
March 04, 2022 at 21:28
It's gonna be a bloodbath. A friendly one, of course.
March 04, 2022 at 21:07
Don't open this can of worms with him, he'll explode your head with a textbook of messages, hehah!
March 04, 2022 at 20:46
Genuinely, X. Money and status. If I could right now, I would buy an enormous tract of land and begin building the largest commons ever witnessed in t...

A mixture of Correspondence and Coherence
March 04, 2022 at 20:35
Yes, the is a workable mode of viewing it. I think the neuroscience field uses terms like "data," and "computes," to describe the process in ways that...
March 04, 2022 at 20:20
No, the brain has to keep computing whatever it computes as data to build coherent networks of correspondence. This is what people are highlighting wh...

The answer is Epuicurean communes and small businesses, wrenching the hand of the state out of the labor market, and allowing productivity and the com...
March 04, 2022 at 19:53
Hah! Yeah, no kidding. It's funny because, this is actually one of my life goals, to start a school with a philosophy curriculum, private. I've been r...
March 04, 2022 at 19:45
I use a number of tools. Google, ResearchBase, and my school library which is linked JSTOR, NCBI, and many other publishers. But, that's the most rece...
March 04, 2022 at 19:42
lol, you too Alkis. I accept your position too. I just need some more support from you guys, that's all.
March 04, 2022 at 19:38
Yeah, I think so too. It's just, it's still a new science with new tech. The data so far is high quality, very high, really. Especially in research li...
March 04, 2022 at 19:35
Well, yeah, I have to second that. I yield my assertion to yours. Yours is higher quality. That is correct. Yep, 100%. I spoke too soon, you're absolu...
March 04, 2022 at 19:33
Yes. That's how we discovered it. Trying to figure what the difference was between our matter, and inert matter. No difference here, it's the eaxt sam...
March 04, 2022 at 19:31
That's a problem with your argument, not mine. Again, I accept your position, I just need to figure out how it can be empirically validated for my to ...
March 04, 2022 at 18:42
Same thing, same fallacy.
March 04, 2022 at 18:41
Now Josh, let me explain something. When I say something like "I'm a Kuhnian myself," and then you tell me, the person who just said that, that I am a...
March 04, 2022 at 18:41
That's precisely why I mentioned it, as well. Science puts to rest all kinds of paradigms, and rather frequently historically. No difference here. I k...
March 04, 2022 at 18:23
Again, that's a fine opinion. It's just, the data that has been gathered is currently indicating the opposite. That research is here in the thread pos...
March 04, 2022 at 18:15
Relevance? This is making my point, friend. The brain computes data, biologically, different than we do from the point of executive function. What you...
March 04, 2022 at 18:12
Yeah, the problem that you're having is that there is no known difference between the "component mechanism," and the "neural machinery." That's someth...
March 04, 2022 at 18:03
This assertion is going to need some support. This assertion is going to need some support. Or, I'm technically just going to have to dismiss it as op...
March 04, 2022 at 17:01
Eugene, I didn't mean you, I meant generally nobody, I should have been more clear. My apologies. You and I are seeing eye to eye now. I just don't kn...
March 04, 2022 at 16:53
I see your assertion, friend. But, where is your evidence? What exactly are you proposing is going on that the science is supporting? Because, that wa...
March 04, 2022 at 16:43
No, that's why I said they're having a falsification problem right now, and that I'm a proponent pof Global Work Space, which is where ALL the support...
