Hmmm, I don't think there is much "trust" in a relationship where cheating occurs. There are ways to catch people - similar tactics as were used by so...
January 03, 2018 at 09:57
:-O I don't see how that is true. Say I am a woman, and you ask me if your boyfriend cheated on you. I may say "oh, I definitely heard some rumours" a...

>:O I need a doodle made by none other than mcdoodle!
January 02, 2018 at 20:24
This response is rather confusing for me because which head is the lower one is relative... relative to whether the person is lying down, standing, et...

Why do you call it the "consumption" model? Consumption implies that it is something that one must do over and over again, there is no terminus. Where...
January 02, 2018 at 18:47
Which head is nicer to deal with do you think? One head seems to be quite dumb, so I imagine it's easy to trick it, but at the same time it's very ene...
January 02, 2018 at 13:28
>:O LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL... Yes, but those same males will tell you that when one head rules, the other is silent - so effectively, the body still has onl...
January 02, 2018 at 13:18
Yes, actually that is one of the reasons why I found myself gravitating towards self-employment and now entrepreneurship. Working in a team often invo...
January 02, 2018 at 13:09
That's not exactly true. If you look at the process of evolution theoretically, then... well let me draw a diagram. https://image.ibb.co/hgxYnG/evolut...
January 02, 2018 at 12:55
I would have voted "No", "No", and "Platonism" most likely. To the first "No" because I don't think there is any such thing as progress in philosophy....
January 02, 2018 at 10:26
How do you know this is the truth though? Maybe she didn't cheat. I mean unless you saw it yourself, then it will always remain somewhat doubtful in m...

So if the mouse gets a bigger heart, then of course pulse rate will change. Likewise, if the mouse grows much bigger through the resizing, with more c...
January 02, 2018 at 10:02
This is probably wrong - the "only ever" is probably wrong. What you should say is that immanence restricts the possibilities of form, not that it out...
January 02, 2018 at 09:52
Sure, but there's nothing contradictory in it. It's just a waste of material. Scaling an elephant to the size of a mouse would be more plausible than ...
January 02, 2018 at 09:48
It might be possible, although it's difficult to state for sure. Bodies are self-adapting organisms. Take the human heart. It usually beats at 60bpm -...
January 02, 2018 at 09:42
And building on that, likewise, your body is also a cumulation of experiences, and nothing more. So in the end, it's all experience - both your body a...
January 01, 2018 at 20:08
The sun is nothing apart from your experience of it. So the warmth + the sight + etc. all the other impressions of it. Why do you feel the need to pos...
January 01, 2018 at 20:07
Notice the continuation "if by that we mean outside of experience"? I will take that as a yes. If so, then no, I disagree. The smoke and the assumed f...
January 01, 2018 at 19:36
I don't think it makes sense to talk of things "outside" of us, if by that we mean outside of experience. Our body is known within experience, and it ...
January 01, 2018 at 19:09
I don't think you've read Kant. Or at any rate understood what he was saying. If you did, you would know that Kant spoke of transcendental conditions ...
January 01, 2018 at 19:08
Right, so if everything is the phenomenal, then we don't have access to anything beyond it.
January 01, 2018 at 18:01
In addition to my previous remarks, consider a game. I play a game when the experience of seeing a stick bent in water is the signal to participants i...
January 01, 2018 at 17:18
No, there is no thing apart from the thought. The thing is the thought. Or if you don't like it this way, there is one thought (the word) and another ...
January 01, 2018 at 17:15
This isn't saying anything really. All that you're telling me is that I learn how to manipulate my experience better. I know that if a ball goes out o...
January 01, 2018 at 17:12
I wonder what you'd say to Kant :p
January 01, 2018 at 17:06
Just that you are developing concepts in experience (such as "being born", "physical structures"), and then turn around and use them to explain the ca...
January 01, 2018 at 16:01
It's not future, it's happening right now, not in the future. If I have a thought, that thought occurs now, not in the future. So what future are you ...
January 01, 2018 at 15:57
How do you know this? Is it because you've developed certain concepts based on experience, such as bodies, etc. and then applied them out of experienc...
January 01, 2018 at 15:32
That makes no sense to me philosophically (at least for the purposes of this thread). It only makes sense within a limited scientific discourse. That ...
January 01, 2018 at 15:18
So is it prior to the experience of seeing?
January 01, 2018 at 15:12
So it is prior to experience?
January 01, 2018 at 15:07
You're already stuck in a theoretical understanding here, where you assume that you are a child, with a physical body, etc. That's not interesting. I'...
January 01, 2018 at 14:57
Can you please answer the question: I know that the concept of individuation will only enter awareness AFTER experience, that doesn't mean that it doe...
January 01, 2018 at 14:03
That's not true. Let me illustrate. Abstraction is something that happens after experience. For experience to occur, I must be able to distinguish bet...
January 01, 2018 at 13:12
We weren't discussing God, I asked you an epistemological question. How do we know "individuation" granted that we must already be able to individuate...
January 01, 2018 at 13:10
And yet, "individuality" cannot come from experience (the senses), but rather experience presupposes it. So where does it come from?
January 01, 2018 at 13:08
Yes, what about it? That means exactly what I said above. Individuation does not mean just individuation into a person as distinct from other persons....
January 01, 2018 at 11:37
Oh wow, what a sexy ass! Looks like Burdian's!
January 01, 2018 at 11:25
Well that's not what I said. I said we cannot have any experience without individuating things - into red, blue, sweet, sour, etc. That individuation ...
January 01, 2018 at 11:24
I agree. It doesn't follow though that the concept comes from experience itself. What does this have to do with the concept of an "individual"? I don'...
January 01, 2018 at 11:16
Also, how can the bottom part be smart?
January 01, 2018 at 11:15
Like... with a feather?
January 01, 2018 at 11:14
Oh wow, that's the subject? I honestly had no clue we were talking about that...
January 01, 2018 at 11:13
What's the subject?
January 01, 2018 at 11:11
Sure. So in experience we find impressions - the impressions of red, yellow, hard, soft, sweet, sour, etc. Where amongst those impressions is there an...
January 01, 2018 at 11:10
The video discusses at length the fact that animal cells of both elephants and mice are around the same size. They do not say that the animals will di...
January 01, 2018 at 11:09
Where does the concept of individual or individuation come from then?
January 01, 2018 at 11:06
In fact, I often write the sentences with "I" as the hypothetical, and usually later change them to "you" nowadays to prevent this misunderstanding.
January 01, 2018 at 11:05
>:O Yeah, you posited two and dismissed one because "it's not on the table" >:O - give me a break.
January 01, 2018 at 11:02
If I say: "Say I go to the moon and look for gold" does that mean I'm an astronaut? Or if I say: "Say I sell $1000 worth of gold, and reinvest the mon...
