There is no point in examining a question as to whether you exist or not without first defining what you mean by “you” and what you mean by “existence...

That is Rosenstien’s opportunity, to challenge what he has been accused of. It appears, these days, to have become privilege that you get such an oppo...

To impeach is to charge. Rosenstein, therefore, can challenge the accusation with whatever he has.

If hardware cannot accept and operate software then it is dead. Is it not?

Is a severed human arm still an arm or is it a piece of human meat?
July 26, 2018 at 00:07
Presumably you can define what a pc is. Presumably you can define what a chair is you use to sit on while at the pc. However, what is the “I” or the “...

Here in Moscow it is fine.

A non conscious brain state? You mean a dead mind or brain? Yes. One phenomena. Brain and mind, not brain and then, over there, a mind. Just as a livi...

I think the debate on whether homosexuality impedes or is culled by evolution is anthropomorphism. Evolution will not falter without humans. In fact i...

Mind and brain, however, is an idea. A mental construct. They cannot be distinct from each other in any scientific way. > “Every thing (or all things)...

Well I don’t invest in a philosophy. So many overlap, good point here and there, other points useless. “Philosophical” is another matter. An action ra...

Because it is about what you want to maintain as your belief.
July 24, 2018 at 10:22
I’m not suffering confusion from the understanding I have put forth. “Being aware of the pc is not being the pc“ What is it that is being aware of the...

Content = objects identified within an experience, usually named. “Experience” is mental only? What is therefore beyond the “mental”? “Experience”, in...
July 24, 2018 at 10:16
I say the language is accurate “I am sitting at my pc” because it is accepted as the appropriate form of sentence structure for disseminating that inf...

I will throw this out there, however. The way I see what is "it" that rains. Rain is part of the living process of this planet's life of which we, of ...
July 23, 2018 at 11:53
You said that “there must be something thinking” and stated this is “crystal clear” as backed up by the Rain analogy. So, are you able to therefore cl...

You are an outstanding student of mediocrity.
July 22, 2018 at 17:37
It appears that children are seeing it that way.
July 22, 2018 at 17:32
I accept the challenge.
July 22, 2018 at 17:31
No cause for doubt? Spoken like a true religionist. Just believe, eh? Belief is everything. Please do not ever accept to do jury service for the sake ...

“When the so-called "facts" are corroborated by many different sources, I tend to believe them as facts” Perhaps do some math. 6 CORPORATIONS CONTROL ...

I think you should consider writing children’s literature.
July 22, 2018 at 17:02
You are being really quite silly.
July 22, 2018 at 17:01
It is not up to the accused to provide evidence of what he is accused of. Your premise, or accusation, that Trump controlled a Facebook ad operation b...
July 22, 2018 at 17:00
hey look, you’re entitled to believe whatever story teller is telling you. We’ll just all have to wait and see how it shakes down.

The “store owner” has responsibility for security (just as Hillary Clinton was responsible for security of classified material with which she spectacu...
July 22, 2018 at 16:50
Did I say that Russian Facebook ad creators were colluding or “buddies” with Obama-the-store-owner? No I did not.
July 22, 2018 at 16:46
It’s an opinion piece. One can string facts (particular but separate events ) together to create a story which fits a chosen narrative. It goes on all...
July 22, 2018 at 16:43
Sure. They are pulling out the stops after the fact to fudge reality. Here is merely one of the many reports of the time including James Comey’s own t...
July 22, 2018 at 16:35
The point is that Trump had zero control of that phenomena while Obama, comparively speaking (relative to Trump), had massive, governmental authoritat...

Are you talking of a “hack” of the dnc server that the dnc never turned over to the FBI for investigative analysis despite several FBI requests?
July 22, 2018 at 16:20
As soon as I opened that article this was in large letters beneath it’s headline. “A plausible theory of mind-boggling collusion“ Now if you can expla...
July 22, 2018 at 16:16
Address what directly? You merely said “reports”. Nothing for me to side-slip from because “reports” says zero. You offered no qualification.
July 22, 2018 at 16:09
I don’t know what this reply is responding to. The last response I made to you where I used the term “relationship” was in regard to yourself comparin...
July 22, 2018 at 16:04
You say that it is Chrystal clear and then attempt to qualify that with the rain analogy. So, therefore, what is it that rains? Another way to put it:...

By aim to procreate. Procreation can and does often exclude raising children in a responsible manner or not at all. The act of procreation is also not...
July 22, 2018 at 15:48
It sort of places God as no more than a beast. A beast effectively merely tries to procreate. The lure is the pleasure but beast does not know itself ...

By the way, I think that is part of the comparison game. Ultimately futile, in my opinion. Certainly not necessary in the human relationship sense. Th...

I can't grasp a concept of "transcendental ego". I see "ego" as a circular thought experience which also generates sensations which essentially causes...

I think that is what existence is. Making order.
July 21, 2018 at 17:09
Assumed by you OF you? Or are you assuming others assumptions of you?
July 21, 2018 at 17:04
Correct. I don't construe him as having acted as a Russian agent. It sounds like it is off to the gulag for me, according to your accusations of me. O...
July 21, 2018 at 16:59
Are you presuming the existence of two things AS you? If so, why complicate it so?
July 21, 2018 at 16:51
It is rational rather than philosophical. Disputing it is like imagining one exists separate from the world or universe. Just as it is irrational the ...

I agree it doesn't necessarily follow and nor do I recommend it does or should I don't recommend at all we talk in this "metaphysical" way. This is a ...

In terms of what or who you are during the experience within which the pc is a part, there is not a difference. Any difference noticed is gradated acc...

My point has obviously found it’s mark as indicated by your fear to reply to clear questions.
July 21, 2018 at 13:27
Difficult questions, eh? Are you self-confessed low hanging fruit?
