I read this to mean that every person is a dinosaur. A) Some dinosaurs are people This is only true if there are any people because every person is a ...
Yeah, but when it's flowing like the mighty Mississippi, I must forego, regardless of how amorous I might be feeling. I didn't need to read Leviticus ...
The sacrificial laws of Leviticus which are set forth in very specific detail, even explaining which parts of the animal the priests can eat and how t...
I find this research intriguing and perhaps worthy of the Hanover award, not primarily because it references female bisexuality, but only because of t...
Let's go further and admit that the Nobel prize is bullshit, coming in a close second only to the Hanover Award. For someone to think it matters that ...
How do you measure disorder other than subjectively, based upon intended purpose? I get that the shattered mirror looks patternless on a macro level t...
You claimed it was hypothetical, yet previously you stated it as fact. No one ever said God ran the jails. That was the clarification you offered. It ...
Your thesis was that all humans lacked responsibility. You now restate it in the hypothetical. Why?Was there some dispute about who ran the jails that...
Free will is assumed in the Old Testament, and most (every?) society assumes it. Anyway, it's not a solution to the problem of evil because plenty of ...
You asked your question, which you insisted be answered, in the hypothetical, as my position has never been that I know my perception is representativ...
This is a different question, now asking me why I think the tree is the tree, although I said I could know nothing of the noumenal tree. But to answer...
I did answer your question, which is to say that since you cannot determine if a tree is accurately perceived as a goat or a hat, then you can't say y...
If I see a tree as a goat and you as a hat, which is correct? Are you committing to the idea that whatever I see is correct because it's just a partic...
Let's say not, but concede that the awareness is the consciousness. That still doesn't make the object and the perception the same thing, which appear...
My view is that I'm perceiving whatever has been transmitted from the tree to the eye to the brain to my consciousness. The light as it travels is not...
I like that the slightest hint of her shadow remains, so much so that it's indiscernible that it once represented a person . It's a cool concept that ...
Communist nations are often non-democratic and iillegalize or otherwise highly regulate religious practice, whereas democratic nations take tolerant s...
Assuming you're a realist, there is a tree "out there" that somehow is perceived by you. That leaves two things (1) the tree and (2) the perception of...
A humor expert, yeah, that's a thing.. I'm a sadness expert and I help people understand what makes them cry. I used to be a meh expert. A funnier jok...
Cooperative and gentle humor would be if perhaps you were having a hard day, so I pushed your nose and said "Pookie is gonna be ok" in a baby voice. T...
All I perceive is a phenomenal state. How can I assert something about the noumena if all I'm aware of is my phenomenal state? What support do you hav...
All you can do is describe the sensations you have, and you can't even reliably say they are caused by the object. The incoherence is in speaking of t...
You can't explain what an object is like independent of looking at it because what it is like cannot be described in any terminology other than sensat...
Their choice was either caused by a prior event or it was not. If the former, it was determined and not free. If the latter, it was spontaneous and no...
The seal of the City of Atlanta actually includes the phoenix for that very reason. Maybe you knew that, or maybe you're just the smartest person in a...
When I decreed it publicly (my cat was present), I broke those few words into 55 deep south syllables and spoke with my distinctive drawl, taking a go...
Speaking of definitions, I must admit I'd never heard of a git until you mentioned it. It must be a British insult, probably used with the word bloody...
Can someone address the economic absurdity of this thread? If you increase pay for boring jobs, you'll just incentivize people to learn to endure bori...
The principle is sound? I'm not sure I'll be able to afford the $15m garbage pick-up service, but I guess I could get affordable weekly brain surgerie...
Perhaps having to pay adds some motivation, but as I noted in my other posts, it's the instruction that's most beneficial. Students on scholarship, wh...
An applicant should look at the credentials of the school when applying to be sure they're getting what they seek. I'm not suggesting you should go to...
Anything is possible, but it would take someone somewhat exceptional to study with the same rigor without supervision, imposed deadlines, required cur...
I agree with this, but this has less to do with the sometimes negatives of college specifically and more to do with the most often negatives of failur...
How does this conclusion follow? BC advocated going to college, just for different reasons (intellectual development instead of increased earning capa...
Anyway, look up the statistics for those interested. There's a direct correlation between level of degree obtained and earning capacity. Staying in sc...
The skill set is the same for lawyers and philosophers. It's a good undergraduate major if you plan to go to law school. Had I not gone to law school,...
Damn it! That's the only thing I got a degree in and I'm now to learn it's the only thing I shouldn't have gotten a degree in. Truth is there's only 2...
