I like sushi

Everything will be fine. Don't sweat it. Seriously. Just because we are stupid and focus on negative things more than positive it does not mean there ...

I am right. You are wrong. Because I say so. Infallable!

Robin Dunbar woudl be worth a look in that area. Anyway, looks interesting how you are trying to define morality. I am curious what your position has ...

Think write think write think write. Mostly write. Or try speaking to camera (as you see I have tried!). Attempting to articulate what you think you k...

Who is living in the real world now? Any suggestions you make will not change the reality. Bye. Done here.

Consequences of breaking laws may be good or bad.

It is quite simple. If there is a law you find abhorent woudl you follow it anyway just because it was the law. Obviously not. The law/police do not d...

'Possible Worlds'

So you would rape girls with blonde hair if they used buses if it was the law? Come on! The laws are not rules to live by. They are forms of Positive ...

It makes me a criminal? How so? You think I have killed people. Even if I had if there is no evidence then it does not matter what the law is. If law ...

I already told you I decide how I act in relation to whatever the law says. This means if I really wanted to kill someone I would. Laws do not necessa...

It sounds like you know the answer to your own question. So WHO?

I thought it was clear I was talking about a larger time scale hence: Either way, the same kind of civilization building around the globe has generall...

People? If they 'write' it at all. Popper refers to Closed and Open Society. Maybe there is something in that that may help you? Any idiot can write s...

The cultural climate dictates the laws from generation to generation. This is almost certainly the case back to the dawn of civilization.

I will 100% watch thsi video. My intial response to the proposal is NO and ABSOLUTELY NO! Let's see if there is anything you state that alters my view...

@"Punshhh" Have you also considered that as populations increase so too does the number of cognitively defunct individuals in the local population? Th...

@"Gnomon" Do you think hypostatization is a sensible route to take when trying to lay down the groundwork for a larger body of work?

The news is necessarily hyperbolic and sensationalised. I do not pay that much attention to it to be honest other than as a means of understanding how...

100% The alternative is taking actual responsibility instead of pointing the finger of blame at those who 'made' you do it. We all do it to some degre...

I think this has always been present. Reading articles from the past you can see how little the general attitudes of people has changed. There is a ne...

That is just one country. Shame people don't actually look at the main causes for immigration :D There are two main factors in the UK. The first is th...

What do you mean by this? It is clear enough that governments are very happy to bring people in legally. So by 'Western countries' you mean who?

Manpower balance will shift to Brasil,Indonesia, Pakistan and most African countries. Obviously we will see a shift in demographics as people move int...

I was talking to the person I was talking to within a braoder context. I was not talking directly to you.

Right there we have a problem. Logic comes in different forms and the colloquial use of terms does not map readily onto the technical philosophical ja...

Feedback > Naive. Constructive Criticism > Noreason to believe most of what you have said. No mention of obstacles or road map.

I recommend you try it yourself even if you do not publish. It can be an eye opener to watch and listen to yourself trying to explain something as con...

:D It was very useful actually. You were wrong. AI story? It is pretty run-of-the-mill knowledge. Is a secondary school grade understanding of graviti...

This is you saying you are wrong? Here: And here: It is almost like a child being told 3x3=9 not 10, and then turning around and saying "I was wrong, ...

:D no! No matter what I read I tend to jump down the rabbit hole. I am more likley to read pop-science or pop-history than pop-philosophy tbh. I did m...

If you are still unwilling to admit a simple and plain mistake you made I will you leave you to wallow in disbelief. I would even make a guess a say w...

Try the Lounge maybe? Better still read someone like Alain de Botton? He is a pretty pleasant read and explores topics with graceful prose allowing th...

The physical thing does not change. I gave an example of a physical change that did not alter the physiccal system, in any significant way, with the r...

Double Post

The Solar System is a system. You were just factually wrong. Absurdity has nothing to do with this. Pluto is no longer a 'Planet' it is a 'Dwarf Plane...

Maybe I should have been nicer. I will keep in mind what you have pointed out here in the future.

I suggest you learn a little about gravity first and the scales we are talking about. It would do next to nothing.

I am not at all concerned about your character. Maybe you are a saint for all I know. Regardless, you are wrong. That is what matters here.

You think this is at all accurate?: Really? :D

Just chekcing to see how knowldgeable you are in terms of basic phsyics. Looks like you are lacking in multiple fields and still not worth talking to....

How so?

It would depend entirely on your use of the word 'system'. A quick look at a standard dictionary entry will reveal that the term can be applied in dif...

I think there is a problem when people start to say words are violence--which I have seen people do. In general, it is a means to protect people. Any ...

@"MoK" What did you think of my hypothetical where something like a 'thought' could be said to manifest in the prolonged manner I mentioned?

Well, it appears to be 'thinking' was my point. It cannot think. It would have been better of me to state that AI models do fool humans into thinking ...

AI simply simulates thinking. It is built for pattern recognition and has no apparent nascent components to it. I think we may see something akin to '...

Regardless, it is going to (and has) made many people redundant. The biggest fear I have is education. Most people are consumed by thye belief that ed...
