I don't think anyone was talking of this kind of "enlargement"... Have you watched the video? They weren't talking of this kind of enlargement there. ...
Sure, just like I only went shopping with my girlfriend because she enjoyed it (I personally hate shopping). We do lots of things we don't like becaus...
Not really, I just tell you what I've noticed. Many of the guys I know complain that their gfs don't want to watch football with them very much. I did...
Words are irrelevant, it's concepts that matter. So sure, learning what red is, is the same as learning how to use the concept of red. Learning how to...
Well... if you push the definition so far, then anything is interacting with things that are not you - even your body, to a certain extent, is not you...
>:O - that is a possibility, but then most women around here don't like watching football too much - so I wouldn't bet on it. When they do, it's typic...
Well, so that article doesn't contain a bit of information which actually invalidates the notion I quoted? Can you summarise for me then why it would ...
Yes, that is true. That's not clear at all to me. How are there future things in the mind? How is it driven by anticipation? He's imagining possible c...
They do have meaning associated with them. Hearing a certain combination of sounds (impression 1) evokes another set of impressions (however vaguely) ...
What's there to distinguish? And why is this relevant? What do you mean by "rearranging" and why would this be driven by anticipation? Yes, you're rig...
Can you please cite the parts of the article you linked to which discredits the views of Manzotti? Also take a look at this. It seems that people can ...
No, the mind is a no-thing as far as I'm concerned. What is "mind"? Until it's clarified what that even means, you're saying nonsense by the "mind" cr...
That's what Tim Parks says, I don't care about him. He's interviewing the other guy. What the other guy says matters, Tim is just making noise there. ...
That's already obfuscation. The point of the article was that "words" are actually physical sounds. So they are not representations at all. So when I ...
Hmm, arguably I was possessed by such urges at one point, when I was diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder and OCD. But over time the compulsion...
That may be quite a lot for some people since sex is tiring. Men often want to be lazy and sit with a beer watching a football match with their friend...
It would not be optimal, but it wouldn't be ridiculous. Keep in mind that the ears aren't the mechanism via which the elephant regulates internal temp...
It is true that bodily regulation happens within limits - for example a human heart cannot beat at 100,000bpm - but it can beat at 600bpm in atrial fi...
>:O >:O >:O In your universe of medieval science maybe. You clearly have no understanding of what determines heart rate. The brain monitors if cells a...
Ok, to clarify, obviously I was wrong to say that they could have evolved in an environment like Earth's, having to compete for resources with other a...
The Bible gives them as two separate "rules" - since I'm going to sleep I don't have time to go in more depth than that now. So what does this have to...
No, it is YOU who needs to pay more attention and read more science. Just because they have more mitochondria does not mean that those mitochondria wi...
Sure, they have decreased empathy but they don't lack it completely. Having even a shred of empathy is sufficient to then imagine the rest. For exampl...
For example, I take those saints who sit in a hut all day on Mt. Athos and don't meet anyone, in continuous prayer, meditation and contemplation of Go...
Why would social involvement or communion be salvific? I think that's not what salvation is taken to mean. Social involvement or communion MAY (depend...
In fact, to prove the absurdity of the mouse exploding or of the elephant freezing, it suffices to just think if a creature could not have evolved tha...
I disagree for the potential reasons stated above. These seem to be really vacuous and silly thought experiments, because we're not sure what would ha...
Nobody is stating the obvious. If you enlarge the mouse would the metabolism rate not change? I'm guessing it would, because the organism would seek t...
I never said belief is equal to knowledge. I asked you some specific questions, can you please focus and answer my questions, and not talk about thing...
Right, so you believe something based on reasons - evidence is an empty word. Reasons are just other things you believe. Ultimately we have to reach s...
What other alternatives are there? So if believing in the absence of evidence, and believing based on evidence do not exhaust all possibilities, what ...
No, that's not the traditional definition of belief. Have a look in the closest dictionary please. Here's one: If you are familiar with philosophic tr...
Then you can't have a discussion, so you're really wasting your time here. And secondly, there is no knowledge without belief. What you call knowledge...
1095 times. >:O Just joking. Assuming you got married at 23, you're both old people now (relatively :P ). Even if you wanted to do it 3 times a day, y...
