What makes you say that?

If intelligence were to evolve to be more efficient than emotions, would emotions still have any evolutionary purpose?

It seem that most of my ideas are self contradictory in some way. I don't know if i believe that there are alternatives to those ideas that can be oth...

I'm not sure if I believe in beauty being an innate concept. From an evolutionary standpoint I don't see much value to beauty. I find it to be more lo...

I've seen things about the fractal being key to our concept of beauty, but I've always thought it was superstition. Do you have any type of source tha...

That makes a lot of sense

How?

If you disagree with me, try to persuade me to your point of view. What is the point of philosophy if you don't debate people you disagree with? Does ...

It may be a consequence of the development of the Christian West, but does Christianity contain any value to the future of society? I don't think taki...

That makes sense. Is that something unique in any way though or is it just programmed by events in reality? Are all of our senses of self the same thi...

Maybe the problem here lies in my definition of faith. I see faith as being knowledge without justification. I have knowledge beyond reasonable doubt ...

I'm sorry if I offended you by insinuating that the article you posted was religious bullshit. I don't have a very favorable opinion of religious beli...

If you have a point you should be able to articulate it. All you did was say I was wrong and pull up an article weakly supporting your belief. The rea...

In hindsight, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I am me, but my idea of me is not an accurate perception of who I am. I am whoever I want to be ...

I read your article, and I find it to be religious bullshit. To argue that scientists have "faith" in science is a joke. It's not having faith in some...

What do you mean?

I don't put very much thought into my past whatsoever, the only thing I regret is the time wasted by the way Christianity contorted my perspective on ...

People who feel those words have meaning that is

I think that any argument involving what defines one as a person is circular. That seems to be up to the person defining themselves. The same goes for...

This is just a perspective that I have. I know nothing, but I will explore any idea. But where did that uniqueness come from? I'm not saying that they...

I'm really not sure what you mean by that When I say illusion, I mean something that is not what it appears. What I mean when I say the self is an ill...

No provide examples. First of all you are saying that money isn't everything. While I would agree, that isn't what I mean when referring to materialis...

Such as?

But the scientific method definitely seems to be the most accurate source of knowledge in the world

What makes you say that?

So are you saying that emotion responses are differential and logical responses are integral?

Hippy would be an accurate description of me, but I don't want people to associate me with that culture because I feel it would be harmful to my reput...

I'll check the book out. What makes you think that the understanding of the mind is beyond the scope of science though?

So it sounds like the key to an accurate intuition is exposure? What do you mean by differentials?

Click the philosophy forum logo on the top left and you will see your name slightly below it and start new discussion slightly below that.

Yes but someone has to pave the way in the sciences. There may be no justification for my view, but in order to justify my view all other views must f...

Is it the most accurate way of processing information though? So you believe that emotions are the driving force of humans?

I meant this part. I would agree that intelligence is likely a product of matter and energy though. I've always felt Descartes had it backwards and th...

What kind of social masks do you wear?

What do you mean by that?

How can we prevent hubris in ourselves?

So how can you wear masks without getting confused? And what if you're already confused? Wouldn't any sense of self be a mask?

Lolol Alright then. I'd say I have what I needed. Thanks

What do you mean by masks? How can we be anything other than who we are?

Ideally individuality and the freedom to believe what you want are only valuable in a society where individuals have to put in effort for survival. If...

I don't think women being viewed as sex objects makes is necessarily a bad thing. That is a benefit of being sexually attractive in both genders. It g...

That's good. I like that

Do we as a society have any sort of guidelines to prevent that from happening?

I would say probably a little bit of both

We can be in touch with it by understanding what our subconscious desires are on a basic level and trusting our subconscious to act accordingly in the...

Perhaps "playing nature"is a better way of putting it. What is wrong with hubris?

Does suppressing the bad in ourselves actually do anything to get rid of it in humanity or does it just make us acceptable by society? Morality might ...

My understanding of intuition is innate knowledge. Instinctive truths that are our subconscious pilots in life.

Do you happen to have a link to this study? I would be interested to read it.
