I like sushi

I gave a reasonable explanation why people choose to have children. There are perfectly reasonable reasons that motivate people to have children. The ...

Sorry, probably not your quote? Lost it now :D Not in the slightest. We have one life. Having children is an experience we can have. It is difficult a...

Is there any particular area of philosophical thought you feel is frivolous?

That makes no sense … but neither does the OP :D Meaning our ‘sense of the world’ is ‘in our brain’. We do NOT ‘see’ with our eyes nor ‘hear’ with our...

It seems to be the main issue here is an old one … arguing for dualism is a peculiar approach in this day and age. But who knows! Maybe there is some ...

I good by the reader should be made to understand what is being said, and often an even larger degree of charity in interpretation too. The whole poin...

My post was clear, precise and gave reasoning and a suggested resource for people to look at. No opinions. If people do not wish to take it seriously ...

No I didn’t read 13 oages of posts. I read the OP … was dumb and ill-informed. If someone else pointed this out good for them.

It might also be worth mentioning that within the neurosciences (like within every field of interest) there are group of people with vastly differing ...

All that is exactly like saying physics tells us nothing about the universe even though it clearly does help us to distinguish and delineate between p...

That which has … how should I say? … ‘True Existence’ is that which we cannot be aware of - it effectively does not exist for us. This is like the Kan...

I do not see how that is true of philosophy. In general philosophical areas stem from the basic question of ‘What we should do?’. People then attach i...

Not interested. I said one thing and that is all. Penrose states that the process in non-computational. He proposed that there is a QM mechanism in th...

He was not suggesting any mechanism only that something is happening that is not computational. He says nothing about biological processes because tha...

I think you may have misrepresented what Emotivism is about. It is generally regarded (as far as I know?) as about personal expression; rather than ‘t...

For the sake of it. There you go. Neither myself nor Penrose makes any such claim. His point was - to repeat again - that what the brain does is more ...

I honestly do not see this going anywhere so I will decline. Bye

You are arguing against ghosts. I read first part of your response and stopped dead because you are (clearly unintentionally) making out either myself...

Then why are you disregarding both on your reply to me about Penrose? His thought is based PURELY on logic and known physical mechanisms.

You are also avoiding the main point he makes. Which is that conscious thought is non-computational. The problem is then about figuring out what could...

I guess you just want to scream and shout and accuse others of X and Y when they do not even say that. As for evidence … you want ‘evidence’ of what s...

Before you speak investigate how certain terms are used within given fields. ‘Consciousness’ is not regarded as you define above by anyone with some r...

He reveals his thinking process and ideas quite well in his exchange with Jordan Peterson. That might help some to understand what he is about.

Who are you talking to and how it is relevant?

I am guessing it is moe a case of you believing you see with your eyes … some basic attempt to study brain function may remove that idea.

I see things when I am asleep. Some people have defects where they cannot. Are you one of them?

That which we can question in some regard. That which cannot be questioned cannot be comprehended.

Sounds a lot like asking ‘What makes the light shine?’

People who’ve bee here a long time may get bored of the same old questions. Who doesn’t?

And soon you will be accused of navel gazing ;)

I just thought it was - as you put it - a ramble. You basically end up asking a question that is more phenomenological in tone to my eyes. Take from t...

Real things are real. Things that are not real are real in the sense that they ate not real. It is basically a semantic problem.

Everything that exists for me is due to consciousness of … I think what you may not have considered what he said was from a phenomenological stance ra...

You will never know if you do not try.

Try thinking. It might help.

Destinations are a relatively modern human concept. Over the past couple of centuriess too this appears to be a rather weird concern of many … the ‘go...

If someone is in need do what you can to help them if you feel inclined to do so. Do the Welsh ask for reparations from the Italians? Do they demand t...

:D Yes, many would disagree! This guy and Streetlight are literally the two people who have been on this forum I had almost completely given up on. Yo...

He was full of empty opinions and probably just trolling. People like that should be banned. I have my own personal system for engaging with people he...

Bye bye. You literally have nothing to offer other than blind opinions. What scandal? :D Seriously? :D

It is worth educating people. The reason I mentioned this was in response to something off topic that was also nonsense. As for Bolsanaro … I doubt th...

Like I said, I mentioned it because not many people know about with the primary focus being on US and British slave trade. During this dark period of ...

Why? Many people do not realise how many died in Brasil. Or did you just think it was a ridiculous point?

Anything that destroys the lie of ‘patriotism’ suits me fine. The utter stupidity of ‘loving your country’ is plain silly. We are Earth peoples not pe...

Should be haggis, whiskey and deep-fried heroin for that to work mate ;)

They are useful as a psychological tool. I have used them a few times. Pretty sure you know this by the hints in the OP. The cards cab be interpreted ...

No. They are just perspectives not doctrines. No one has one simple view they adhere to in all circumstances and philosophical inquiries are about pos...

I have no idea why you think that? It is generally more simplistic. If you invest in ‘training’/‘educating’ then the pay off comes literally decade/s ...

I assumed it was me :D guess not. I can read. There was no tag and it was directly under my post and fit enough for me to assume as I did. If not no b...

I never said feminine/masculine traits are defined by sex. In fact I made that blatantly clear so read more carefully. The rest of what you said has n...
