That's not a point. The brain is also not limited by such, but has the capacitance for conceptualization which gives rise to Ethics. No, you're just u...
Nobody.... Ever said there was some... "you."...? No, "you" are the whole unit. Your brain produces executive functions that allow itself to witness, ...
Yes, Tom. That's right. The people of Nagasaki didn't give a shit about quantum potentiality in the realm of objective considerations. They were vapor...
This is emotion speaking. Biological determinants that produces executive functions and endless data computation, would never imply an absence of ethi...
Again, it isn't the neural processes that are important in this particular regard, it is what the processes produce. Among those data computing proces...
A cool thought, interesting. But, no. Human's generate new conceptualizations of their own behavior in accordance with data that is acrrued in a recur...
Yes. Yes, they are. If we insist on keeping things they way they are. I don't see how it's sustainable, The earth is oppositional, the wealth disparit...
Only problematic for the mind doing such. But, incantations do not negate reality, so it doesn't really matter what you "can" do with your langauge. T...
It can't reside in it, if you cut the brain open, all you find is the contents of the brain. Consciousness is a production of the brain, just as sight...
Gotta say, Eu. I agree with you here. As someone who beat depression without chemicals and now lives an educated, happy, productive life, with love of...
That's a good question, may have to think a bit. I'd say that the core theme is that it isn't pleasure, or happiness, or flourishing that actually kee...
Unwelcomed contact between humans and their property. You see, the only real criminal in the world, is the person who initiates the use of force again...
Yes, and you'd be irrational because this is valid: If multiple factors for applying compassion exist, then a selective application of compassion is r...
But, you haven't challenged it's soundness, you've merely proclaimed it's not sound. Now, I'm not a logic Nazi, so you don't have to go in that direct...
In the syllogisms: If multiple factors for applying compassion exist, then a selective application of compassion is required. Multiple factors for app...
Right, which as we established, is irrational. It's not cold hearted, it's simply not irrational. The thing about it is, we've established logically t...
You'll notice I qualified the assertion with "in any way that implied connection or collaboration." Doing this, is going to require tact and rationali...
Yes, it's easy: If murder and mental illness are both factors in applying compassion, then neither can be asserted as the sole predicated in applying ...
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply they were two different worlds. I meant domains of observation within the same world. How things operate disparately bet...
It's complicated. There's variables like voluntary employment. But, no, this isn't how I would run a business, and it isn't how private owners do, by ...
Awesome, welcome to neuroscience. Humans are the owners and source of the reasoning mind that generates his/her own famework of engaging with that soc...
These are excellent points. You're right. It's something I let my emotions cloud sometimes. I'm not emotional about a lot, but I am in regards to the ...
No worries, I had to jump back into myself after dealing with jackass on the other thread. But, yes, it is valid. Now, even if it is sounds, as I woul...
This is true. 100% You misunderstand, those channels don't save the country from tyrants. It is specifically the democratic channels that were manipul...
Reason is the human's only tool to navigate the world in pursuit of the resources needed for longterm survival, and the fulfillment of his/her values....
Quantum physicis demonstrates that we must do such specifically in regard to quantum mechanics. Those mechanics don't apply to the macroscopic world. ...
No. It's the opposite. A bit like eyesight, or taste, or all feeling. In fact all products of the brain seem to be individual just like you described ...
This is too much to respond too, brother. I can't keep doing it, it wears my brain out. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. We'll have to move to...
That's because there's no way to. Which means the idea that it is a question in your mind, is as irrational as having the question of whether you've b...
It's not a an argument from ignorance, because I have no burden of proof. I simply suggested to ask yourself what the evidence suggests, and to test t...
Excellent thinking The argument from ignorance fallacy: It says something is true because it has not yet been proved false. Or, that something is fals...
Yes, and while you do, think about all the stimulatory evidence you get every waking moment of your life that you are in fact not hallucinating. Then ...
Well, I'll tackle it one more time. You have no reason to suggest you aren't seeing it. What would constitute evidence of you having hallucinated some...
I know, I've met them. Again, neither my view, nor Rands view are dismissive of natural inhibitors as far as compassion goes. Just that such does not ...
