I was that guy, for nearly half a day. I actually got paid an unmemorable amount. ( It might have been ten shillings, which was nearly half a guinea!)...
You misunderstand. Perhaps I was unclear. She was through menopause a long time ago because she is 73. You make no sense, and you haven't answered the...
Are you saying that heterosexuals ought to, or at least may, realise their real nature, whereas homosexuals ought not realise their really defective n...
How do I tell the difference between natural and non-natural? Or how do you tell it? Is the sex act a joyful act or a painful duty? Is the sex I have ...
No I'm not objecting to that at all. I am a moral realist. My objection is to his waffling on about essence and nature and spirit as if he speaks with...
My side? Same thing? Can you elaborate a little? My suggestion is that the allegedly "absurd view that everything a natural organism does is natural."...
Yes, if you did commit to that, you would have to come up with some story about how humans are the exception because they ate of the fruit of the tree...
Why do you want to say that impregnating is uniquely performed by males? Why do you want to call it a role? Do you not think that women have a rather ...
It is rather difficult to make sense of all this decarative definitional stuff, because your definitions are not clearly distinguished, and at the sam...
It is tied, loosely. I concede the fashions are the fashions, no more. Just as lesbians and gays come in different flavours, butch and fem, so straits...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_history. But no one is divorcing them, just distinguishing. But still, we hippy males like to wear flowers i...
I don't; you don't; but we do. As soon as you ask a question, you are in a relationship that constitutes a community. And you do keep asking questions...
Who is this "we" you speak of? "We" need a state because if it is not our state, then it is anybody's state and may become their state. Any territory ...
Well it's not completely clear. Game theory is founded on something called 'rational self-interest' and if that means 'cunning bastard' then the theor...
Rational being? Speaking of delusional... Let's just say, that if we are ourselves rational beings, and yet we are at war with each other throughout h...
'So long, and thanks for all the fish. ' as we dolphins always say. Also, all the best with your new project, and if I don't see you in this world, I'...
No. The world of illusion is unlimited, and the harder you look for something, the easier it becomes to imagine you have found it. Meditation absolute...
This is not something that can be resolved by any amount of discussion. Go, and find out. Not in a thread or a book, but in yourself, is the answer. I...
I think, at least for now, the medical model is inescapable. But perhaps we can at least keep an awareness of some of the questionable features. First...
Keep taking the tablets! Annoyance is a serious and distressing condition, but it can be controlled with the appropriate medication. Have you read Bra...
If you have a vivid imagination, it can be an aid to thinking and a boon to society. An architect's function in society is to visualise a building in ...
The perceived risk is the subjective experience of another, of the person in question's behaviour. Are you claiming that the experience of the 'expert...
What is a proven success in this context? If one takes the view of the addict, a steady clean supply is success, but others might consider drug free l...
Well the immediate alternative is a social model. Rather than that you have got the imaginary pathogen of depression leading to the wrong chemicals in...
To speak of mental health, and mental illness is to subscribe to a medical model of mind and behaviour. This is misleading. All experiences are subjec...
Thanks for that interchange; it was informative and insightful, and I certainly agree that myself nor anyone I am aware of here could hold up AI's end...
I didn't say everything human was nonsense, the suggestion that it is, is certainly nonsensical, so thanks but no thanks for your contribution. But as...
But then AI was not being trained on its own nonsense, only on humanity's nonsense. And I'm not complaining about anything; I am reporting a warning b...
I'm not sure, but no one seems to be sure how much of this site is AI generated, and I may be quite exaggerating, but its use is so ubiquitous though,...
14 pages of fulmination to arrive at the blank refusal to address the topic of the thread. No one forced you to engage in a topic you have only contem...
Did you not look at the quoted site? A dictionary or a thesaurus is useful, and AIs are useful. They are trained on material that we find useful, and ...
https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/12/20/1065667/how-ai-generated-text-is-poisoning-the-internet/ I think this is the fundamental problem. AI does ...
I don't want to wound at all, and I'm not applying for a grant. I'm not even remotely saying anything original to take pride in. I'm interested in the...
It's interesting how emotively the rationalists defend. I agree with both here. It is the necessary bit of the game that gets induction started. But i...
