I’m sorry, I don’t understand your point. Perhaps someone else can address it.

I’m sure we can find time, some time, to go into this argument more. It’s neither the time nor the place though - I doubt we’ll ever agree on this but...

The issue I always have with such statements is that “Dasein” doesn’t mean anything. Heidegger also took one section of phenomenology and ran with it....

As you’re no doubt aware the recordings of the Egyptian language possessed no vowels. So it is guesswork, but not blind guesswork as they base their g...

I would if I felt like spending $5000 was worth it to me personally - it would be a risk. If you don’t see the point then you don’t understand what an...

I don’t see any reason to assume production of art is for anyone else’s benefit during the creative process. So I’d have to disagree. If I make a vide...

No point pretending. You’re either a troll or unfit for this forum atm.

He has just revealed his condition. Clearly lacks reading and writing comprehension. Flagged this member multiple times now. Sorry friend. Although yo...
June 21, 2019 at 09:23
I think fresco read everything you wrote. You would know this if you were able to communicate in a simple manner. It appears you either cannot or will...

Phoenix I’d say. Our creative drive is instigated by the need to break symmetry. If something works then the world becomes bland. We don’t like bland ...

This person is trolling and/or partially insane - both have there merits so will be interesting to watch people’s reactions :D
June 21, 2019 at 06:07
So are you differentiating conscious awareness from consciousness or not. I posed that question in my first post.
June 21, 2019 at 03:40
Technically speaking I’m talking about blindsight.
June 20, 2019 at 12:10
It appears to be my inclination to purview your attempts at nomenclature-bridging to be some way short of preventing a wetness in the river of ‘Que?’....
June 20, 2019 at 11:40
Your reply makes no sense. Clean up the differentiation between ‘consciousness’ and ‘conscious awareness’ otherwise you’ve just said I am wrong AND ri...
June 20, 2019 at 11:29
The first sentence gave me a headache so I stopped reading. Ask yourself if you could’ve said the same thing with less words and more precision maybe?...
June 20, 2019 at 09:37
Your opening statement is wrong. There is clear documented evidence that shows as clear as can be that consciousness is not required to navigate aroun...
June 20, 2019 at 09:17
Speaking on behalf of Husserl - if not Heidegger; but likely so - the point of phenomenology was to explore the subjective matter NOT to postulate obj...

Have you looked at the regulations for men in the US army.
June 19, 2019 at 03:46
I’ve not read the last one you mentioned. It’s on my shopping list :) My interest in anthropology is particularly focused on the development and origi...

If I was to follow that kind of logic I’d end up saying rocks are more natural than animals and plants.
June 18, 2019 at 08:15
I know so because nature is alien. It is our environment. I guess there is a good argument against my point if we look at humanity’s changing cosmolog...
June 18, 2019 at 08:11
Depends how you define ‘culture’. Birds certainly have different ‘dialects’ of song specific to habitually learned patterns in certain regions - and y...
June 18, 2019 at 06:37
I was saying it has always been so. We’re probably less fearful of what we don’t know today as we generally live more comfortable lives. We’ve come to...
June 18, 2019 at 06:09
Nature is alien.
June 18, 2019 at 05:12
This is a point that should be taken into consideration during any discourse if we hope to gain something of substance from the exchange. The number o...
June 18, 2019 at 05:05
You’re talking rubbish. We’re overly optimistic, rather short-sighted and not very capable of picturing abstract probabilities - such as exponential g...
June 18, 2019 at 04:41
I think trying to belittle religious types in such a manner does little to serve any decent humanitarian cause so maybe you should amend the OP?
June 18, 2019 at 04:36
I don’t care whether you don’t care of they get paid or not. I also assume thats you don’t care that I don’t care that you don’t care. Care to respond...
June 18, 2019 at 04:32
Just watched the full lecture. It was nice. Still unsure what you’re actually asking in the OP though. Hope you can reiterate the questions posed so I...

Here’s something: http://faculty.georgetown.edu/irvinem/theory/Renfrew-Cognitive-Archaeology-Symbolic-Storage-Mind.pdf
June 18, 2019 at 04:07
I think people write such hyperbolic stuff because there is certainly inequality out there. We do still hear of the occasional case of a woman being p...

It is one of two dictionary definitions. A scholar of philosophy isn’t meant to come up with their own ideas. A true scholar merely reports facts.
June 18, 2019 at 00:43
I don’t think Izat So is disputing that.
June 17, 2019 at 18:36
I don’t know what you mean. Ifs buts and maybes are just that. Anyway, I watch that talk tomorrow and see if that helps shed light in what you mean. T...
June 17, 2019 at 18:34
Still no idea what you mean? That study merely suggests a correlation. All that seems to say is where cows were domesticated lactose intolerance looks...
June 17, 2019 at 17:50
You write some confusing sentences: Strictly speaking that goes without saying. Generally speaking, which I can only assume you meant, it is untrue. M...
June 17, 2019 at 16:32
You may be interested in a guy called Colin Renfrew (the ‘father’ of cognitive archaeology). Note: I watch that tomorrow. Thanks!
June 17, 2019 at 15:47
Referring back to Dawkins, his point was that cultural ‘memes’ propagate in a manner independent of any genetic influence, yet they’re obviously relia...
June 17, 2019 at 15:46
Oh right! It’s the wording you used. It looked like you were suggesting culture evolved prior to brains .., which makes no sense at all. The nature nu...
June 17, 2019 at 15:41
Why don’t you want to discuss this nonsense? You cannot honestly expect people to just ignore the falsehood because you don’t wish to discuss it do yo...
June 17, 2019 at 14:59
I think you’re stuck for several reasons. I don’t see any serious thought put into the practicality of what you’ve said - that may simply be because o...
June 17, 2019 at 09:14
The way I see it there are distinctions between what people mean by ‘philosophy’ and being a ‘philosopher’. A philosopher can be someone who has studi...
June 17, 2019 at 08:43
I cannot think for you. Take it as is; if not go elsewhere with your pedantry. I’m not trying to be nasty here, it’s just a small courtesy to let you ...
June 16, 2019 at 16:25
We seem to agree in the broader aspects of this topic. I’m not overly fond of the term as its taken on a quite different life of its own in the pop-cu...
June 16, 2019 at 15:32
I don’t say such things without a reason. I can give perfectly valid examples of these of those. I can only assume you misunderstood. 1) Cannibals in ...
June 16, 2019 at 14:32
Defining ‘culture’ is nuanced enough without this. If we’re talking about misuse, misapplication and misrepresentation of other cultures fair enough. ...
