I like sushi

I would say that isn’t even close to what Shannon’s work was about. Looks like you’ve had an idea and attached a famous name to it for inexplicable re...

Also, if you’re in a red room time subjectively slows down, and in a blue room it subjectively speeds up.

Yeah, it’s also a factor for various other uses such as quantities, time and positions. “Orange” is a VERY recent addition to the English language - b...

The above points might have just touched on something that many people have issues with. That is the idea of ‘thinking’ that isn’t verbal. Some people...

That doesn’t make sense to me, sorry. I’d still like some clarification at this question please.

Read my comment directly after that one.

I meant more in lines of trying to appreciate/consider individual perspectives and the general narrative function embedded in communication.

I don’t see how you need a mystical experience to appreciate the Tao Te Ching

What you mention is one major reason I’ve had an interest in Husserl’s work.

GOOD! :)

Probably a better thought out thread? :D Anarchism is the natural human state. We are where we are due to our anarchistic nature. A political reset ma...

It’s a term used by many cognitive neuroscientists. Priming in sometimes used interchangeably, but generally speaking ‘priming’ refers more to ‘visual...

It’s not a new idea. Many people have commented about how ‘religion’ is something like an extension of a ‘nationalistic identity’.

Chopped a little and rearranged. Will either completely rewrite next or just try and edit down to 600-700 words (currently at 1063 words) The First Ch...

It just appears that you’re basically using this forum as a means of therapy. It would make sense, if you’re really that disturbed, to seek assistance...

I’d rather they go somewhere else and do that. The point of the thread is to question how or why we should engage in any kind of rational analysis of ...

It can be quite interesting to ask someone what their job is. Most people tend not to push beyond the job ‘title’. I spoke to someone once who said he...

This has been pointed out. Also, the title says ‘perfect’ and the post says ‘good’. It is clearly a purposeful trap or just poorly thought out post.

I don’t see how it could possibly be denied. Everything perceptual experience depends upon what happened before it. It doesn’t take much though to see...

There’s a thread on UBI somewhere else. To my knowledge no one has mentioned UBI here. Here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/8210/universal-...

When you’re watching a movie do you stop it halfway through and never think about what happens next? If the answer is yes, you’re unique. If the answe...

Me and you both. I honestly don’t know what I can say about the Tao Te Ching that is solid, and not overly reliant upon aphorisms and artistic interpr...

I think the case for those references as propaganda hold up well enough: https://theconversation.com/mythbusting-ancient-rome-throwing-christians-to-t...

Real scholars tend not to speculate in their works - if they do they’re not writing a scholarly works, writing poor scholarly work or actually explici...

Yes. Neural priming. Don’t understand. Can you explain in mire detail? Forget about how much, how would we quantify this? Can we quantify this? I imag...

I don’t see why it would be highly unusual? If they did it to Christians who refused what makes you think they were the only religious group to refuse...

Fair enough. I just assumed they removed it themselves after they had realised what they’d posted in a fit of anger. If it was left up I’m certain you...

If I was to ask myself the same question and give a definitive answer - even though I don’t really see that there is a significant difference between ...

That would’ve been a perfect title for this thread! :) Personally I’ve found that a greater appreciation of human behavior and psychology can help the...

If it was for the comments yesterday they were removed, I assume by Pfhorrest almost as quickly as they’d been posted (and I was surprised that someon...

Just finished the rough draft. Not read it through, checked anything or edited it in any way. Feel free to comment and I won’t look at your criticism/...

That’s puntastic!

So, basically, to wax lyrical? :D

Because we don’t know what is ‘good’ and so rationally we should be cautious about assuming that one thing is ‘good’ and another ‘bad’ with absolute c...

We can only speculate from rough examples in the real world. I would maintain that it comes down to ‘self worth’. With or without a job people need to...

Is the thingness of thing measurable? If yes, then does ‘information’ lie on the scale you determine as determinate of ‘thingness’? There, you have yo...

Okay, but the original post I was asking about asked why it was people surrendered their will to authority, specifically to religious authority. My qu...

It has been predicted before but every time new tech has opened up different types of jobs. Regardless humans still need a sense of self worth. Most p...

Claude Shannon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_theory

I don't want a conversation. I don’t care who you are. I merely want to know what you think is different between ‘authority’ in general and ‘religious...

I’m overly concerned about how offended you are. I asked some question (because I’m genuinely interested). Clearly I didn’t understand my error, or yo...

There is a simpler way to deal with this. Science has little to nothing to say about ‘truth’ but a lot to say about ‘facts’. Logic has little to nothi...

Huh? I literally just pointed out the difference between guilt and being guilty. The Greeks tended to use sorrow. If you think I thought you were just...

Anyway, to refer right back to the OP it is imaginable that as technologies develop, and perhaps reshape our environment more and more (uploaded consc...

This sounds very strongly related to themes of ‘guilt’ to me: This certainly goes along with your point. It doesn’t really suggest that there was no s...

Okay, I think I see. You’re proposing a hypothetical where ALL culture/memes are removed. Interesting thought. I don’t see how some form of cohesive c...

Clearly it was overcome because we’re here now. I’m not denying that humans have a relatively long juvenile period during which we fit into our surrou...

There are plenty of examples in languages new and old where emotional concepts don’t line up on a 1 to 1 basis. To suggest Greeks not having a term sp...
