This part matters, Banno. When you cast your eyes to the Sun, you literally are not seeing the Sun. You're seeing light from the sun which is eight mi...
Don't get sucked in. Dude cannot form a worth while response to anything. Just ad hominem. AS he's probably do when he sees this, proving my point. Fe...
I extremely disagree, but that is also why we've been arguing for weeks. This is why i said I think it's run its course. You seem to finally admit tha...
They didn't need to (the badly trained part is arguable - they fucked up constantly under Obama particularly in terms of care-giving in custody). I do...
You do not need to hypotheticalise this: The Sun is not what we see when we look at the sun. It is light data from eight minutes (roughly) ago. There'...
Please stop asking ridiculous questions of me about things I haven't said. Either respond to what I've actually said, or don't. But do not ask me abou...
ADmittedly, I already have my conclusion on his killing, so haven't bothered to look too far into it -you might be right, but both appeared to me pres...
I think that is somewhat wrong. Largely, because its predicated on the idea that because English doesn't carry specific, un-changing single word refer...
Yes, to you. And I understand that. It doesn't sound like anything particularly interesting to me. I also explained myself with reference to psycholog...
Spitting on someone, or pushing them is assault or battery depending on circumstance. Again, this doesn't alter the ultimate outcome. It's just a matt...
Hey bud - can you say what you mean here? I'm genuinely, semantically not understanding - Obama at least with highly motivated and animated about mass...
Yeah, that's absolutely true but we do not assume someone is lying at face value - in this case, particularly because he was clearly bent to believe s...
The entire issue of private experience. If private experiences (and in this case, the noetic quality of those experiences) are derived from a wide-dim...
Definitely - I think its partially baked into how information travels though, right. Unless you're there, in the moment, people are going to draw diff...
That has nothing to do with what we're talking about here, though. If you can admit he was stupid, not lying, then we're good. No, please read a bit m...
So, you keep making claims like this. What do you call the images (there is literally no better word) of objects you perceive? This is why I held you ...
I agree. You might get a kick out hte Institute for Noetics - I think the basic premise is that ineffable experience indicates something beyond percep...
It's not hard, at all. No, I wouldn't, and I cannot understand why you would, for several reasons (though, I don't find it weird. Giving opinions is n...
You're not actually listening to what's being said. I have not denied what you (erroneously, nonetheless imo) posit. What I'm saying is: they are not ...
:up: I think Hallucinogen's dissatisfaction comes from wanting a definitive call on whether or not all statements have this available. They don't. But...
Hate and Love don't appear to be opposites. Fear and Love make more sense, as Jkop has pointed out. In this sense, both are apt for their uses. Both o...
They exist in your experience. What this consists in is the bloody question mate. I have actually explicitly stated this. Give me your answer. For the...
It's extremely likely (I will look into it while replying and see if I can glean a good determination) that the "heat" here is not a idealisation. And...
As Dingo didn't address this I'll have a go - I think the issue here is that social opinion is more effective censoring people than the law is. I retu...
Fair - a distinction that does matter. I've noted before, publication is not as clear-cut as you make it seem. Publication benchmarks tend to only be ...
I see the point, but I don't think so, no. There is a semantic idealization - and even then, I think you're overstating. The vast majority of uses of ...
This is to misunderstand, entirely, even the fundamental basis for what we're talking. You seem to think you do not have any images of any kind availa...
I've worded that badly - I take him more seriously than Don. I think its a far, far bigger threat than a meme, regardless of how unbecoming it is of t...
These are not metaphysical positions my guy. My point is still as strong as ever. Perhaps we're living in different worlds. And are almost routinely v...
This explains a lot. This is a childish, unhelpful and extremely bigoted way of thinking about other human beings. You are also probably entirely wron...
Once again, you do not seem to have read anything but what triggered you emotionally. Obama deported more people than Trump. THe circumstances in whic...
This is exactly what he's talking about. Totally ignoring that there have been several hundred detentions for simply posting something on the internet...
Mikie, is it just your nature to make pithy, childish replies? There is no blaming protesters for getting shot unless they do something which would ju...
instruments don't measure cold. They measure temperature. That is a glaring misstep. Temperatures do not have 'cold' to refer to. Neither hot, nor war...
haha. It's funny you think this runs for your point - It runs exactly for mine: They aren't hte same category. So comparison between them is of form. ...
Well, in principle i get you - but taking for instance, Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Qurashi, as seriously (or, in the same vein anyway) as Trump is, to me,...
That is historically insane. They are, however, fucking blind. That's true, but there's always going to be a question: If local law enforcement co-ope...
Either you believe we literally take images into our heads from the outside, or we have absolutely, 100% without a shadow of a doubt, seen, in the bra...
It would've been preferable to simply ask what I meant here. I mean, I think you're also being a bit combative and not quite capturing the most reason...
Yes, that's kind of what I was saying. The scientific method contradicts all (that I know of) religious commitments. Science only contradicts itself i...
Haha, that's true. I wonder how it will look. I recall on a forum i was on about 20 years ago there was a user who was highly conservative and was abs...
No. I am doing what you've asked: comparing religious and scientific worldviews (you've named mainly philosophical views, btw). The comparison I've ma...
