Jackson

Why do people come to a philosophy forum to discuss religion?

You just want to talk about religion. Count me out.

You are not talking about God and talking about God. Got it.

I thought you were not talking about God? "Jackson, I never mentioned God."

Can you give an example?

Ok, I thought there was some point.

Ok...therefore believing in God is rational. What is the conclusion?

I would never eat that garbage.

I am very conscientious about my diet. My sister is a food scientist.

I check stuff more than many people. I mean, there are still people who think Trump won.

Indeed. I always check.

Trump said he won the election. He lied. I check things.

Wow, I check things.

Why would there be a relation?

Preach on brother.

Just curious: Why would you come to a philosophy forum to preach your religion?

Proselytizing thread.

Goodnight.

That is not philosophy. That is just opining.

Please explain. That does not sound like philosophy.

I have been watching the hearings. Today his top team testified that Trump's claim was totally bogus. But Trump already planned a coup if he lost. So ...

Even Trump believed his own lies.

An example of belief. Jan. 6 Hearings show that Trump believed he won. His staff told him there was no evidence for that. Yet Mr. Trump believed.

I know dead people do not think. So, the mind is gone.

Where is the human mind located? I do not know.

What is the difference?

I think people arguing that A.I. cannot be conscious are asking the wrong question. An intelligent system does not need to mimic human consciousness. ...

Ok.

What is the need for a definition of human in order to properly educate children?

We are just on a planet. Not much more to it.

I think Heidegger is referring to being in a particular situation. Being-here, Being-there. The situatedness of being.

Horrible theology. I was taught that in a mainstream Protestant church.

The first few books by Derrida were interesting and original. After that he just published stuff that seemed Scholastic and writing for the sake of wr...

I don't see this as an objection to Hume.

Seems to me standard physics.

Right, an act of the imagination as a "fiction."

I see a ball rolling down the hill. This is actually a sequence of discrete, digital, images. Some see it as continuous movement, thus a "fiction of a...

Convention.

Are cats in the species homo sapiens? I do not think so.

No glue. What gave Kant hysterics.

For Hume, there is no necessity to association. Objects and events do not have continuity.

Please explain what that intimate relationship is and why traditional philosophies do not have that.

Maybe. Therefore, what?

I would say having a body qualifies as being human. Need not be more complicated than that.

By every single thing that happened. Seem obvious and consistent. Trump never hides anything.

Not sure. Hume did not reduce philosophy to text. But, there may be similarities.

I don't know first, but certainly Hume was radical.

"Stand down, and stand by." Trump was directly ordering the Proud Boys.

For Hume, there is no inside or outside, as metaphysical categories. Actual physical objects do not have continuity and neither do our perceptions. Hu...

Okay, agree.
