I saved this one for last. Find a way and sign me up to help.

I live in one, so I have a bit of experience with the topic. Some of the proposed ideas might work, others no. Ban all funding, make the candidates or...
July 26, 2020 at 02:41
Science says that it is possible, who am I to disagree. Personally I think that like the old song said "you can't have one without the other". Maybe s...
July 26, 2020 at 02:22
Just curious, where can I find more information about this? Which is why I asked at the beginning for someone to set a proper definition of "a space"....
July 26, 2020 at 02:13
Exactly. From what I have read, most people think that it is just the bio-chemical functions of the body. I tend to agree with that. I think that it w...
July 26, 2020 at 01:50
If this is true then the mind, the YOU, is nothing more than a bunch of biological/chemical reactions. How do we control the chemical reactions?

:rofl: :cool:

Are you asking me or trying to get Jesus to help me? :lol: I live in Honduras. The school I work at went virtual in April so I work from home. There i...

Everything you say is true. Golf balls are always in a place, commonly know as a physical/spacial location. If I say I have an idea, it would only mak...
July 25, 2020 at 23:34
By the same method I can delete all humans from the earth, and there will be no minds. But that does not answer the question that was posed in the OP....

The piece of paper is not the mortgage, only the physical representation of it. Think of a mortgage as a promise, is that physical?
July 25, 2020 at 15:32
Been better I think. Right now we are suffering from the lockdown. More than four months now and I have left the house twice. The only good things I c...
July 25, 2020 at 15:32
Paper might fit the definition here.
July 25, 2020 at 15:22
And this is why I said that before the question can be answered we need a definition of what "a space" actually is. Space for IT people is not the sam...
July 25, 2020 at 15:20
So if emotions are similar to mathematical operacions, math like data would also have space that it occupies? That does not make much sense.
July 25, 2020 at 15:11
But if they do not have a location, their mere existence does not mean that they occupy space. as Banno pointed out his mortgage is real, but it does ...

There is a simple solution, buy a flexible hose like those used for washing machines and install it so that the U-bend is about the same shape as the ...
July 25, 2020 at 15:03
Fine. Data is one of the properties of the brain. But the mind is more than data, it is reaction to data, analyses of data, emotions. Do they have a l...
July 25, 2020 at 04:44
Nice to see you around. How are you doing?
July 25, 2020 at 04:19
OK, so the answer to the OP Is yes. The mind then is a property of the brain. Do all properties of an object take up mass of the object?
July 25, 2020 at 04:09
It should not need a gasket if installed properly. The seal is caused by the difference in the angles of the 2 sections, male and female. The principl...
July 25, 2020 at 03:59
But they would still be there even if there was no data on the chips. So the data is none existent in the sense that it occupies no extra space.
July 25, 2020 at 03:47
So does the mind take up space or not? So does the data take up space or not? If your answer is yes to either of the questions above, please tell me h...
July 25, 2020 at 03:42
So now we have a problem. Let's stay with the computer hard disk for now instead of the brain. A hard disk can be explained in the most simplistic way...
July 24, 2020 at 14:44
I have no idea, but for the sake of this discussion it would seem necessary to have a clear idea of exactly what is meant by "a space". Is there a dif...
July 24, 2020 at 01:31
So the mind of a person can be outside of the body? First of all, no one has yet provided any proof of spatial location of the mind, if it were so the...
July 24, 2020 at 01:19
If there are other minds only implies that they are separate, you cannot conclude that they occupy a space from that. My computer memory does not over...
July 23, 2020 at 22:35
This reminds me of the guy that wanted his laptop cleaning out completely because it was to heavy to carry. Data in a computer does not occupy any spa...
July 23, 2020 at 20:40
So basically you think your whole body contains your mind?
July 23, 2020 at 20:35
Some scientists think that different dimensions occupy the same space at the same time. But that does not answer the question. For the mind to occupy ...
July 23, 2020 at 13:49
I think it would be a good idea to actually define "a space" first. Exactly what would need to be occupied if the mind was to do so?
July 21, 2020 at 23:41
:chin: Jeez, even I know that it is called bourbon, not wine. :smirk:
July 21, 2020 at 23:37
Yep, I got the message.

I used to get potato wine by the gallon. When I had a batch checked it came out as almost 60% alcohol.

Wow, you are reckless! :lol:

We cannot even go out when we want here. There is a law that says only people with the last number of their national ID can go out on one day of the w...

And I guess my jokes blend in with mine as well. But I really cannot tell the difference between sarcasm and humor sometimes. :smirk:

Hey Tiff. I am not at all happy about this freaking lockup or lockdown, whatever you want to call it. I have left the house only once in these last 3 ...
July 14, 2020 at 00:18
Is that some sort of problem? It has not bothered anyone so far. Everyone has managed to contribute some kind of bullshit, so I doubt anyone else is w...
July 12, 2020 at 02:22
Now that is hilarious. :rofl: :lol:

I did a few of those a few years ago. On one I got over 140, another gave me high 80's and everything in between. Maybe the people that made them were...

Lucky you, I wish that I could say that. Happy birthday. :party:

Some evidence of this would be nice, and something more concrete than what you think. Is that not what I just said? So you imagine her and get a hard ...
