Not really claiming that CBT doesn't generally work. To me it sounds like it's one of the best methods currently used. But I'm dubious that it could f...
This I disagree with and it is also pretty much in disagreement with the OP since the whole premise of the OP was that I have found it very hard to ch...
I pretty much use "emotion" as anything "that feels like something" in ones experience in this context. As there is no universally accepted technical ...
For example: I have logically thought conclusions about the world with quantum mechanics, our perception and the multiverse I'm serious about. Then I ...
Fundamentally, you can be wrong about anything - even about your existence no matter whether it makes logical sense or not since fundamentally even lo...
To me, it is a logically necessarily proven point. But to me the fact that we can never prove that we have evaluated our proofs correctly, trumps all ...
It doesn't. That was just an example to demonstrate that a processor that could simulate a more complex thing than itself in real time would cause abs...
The problem with "zero-nothing" is that, it always contains information in the sense that it is a limited possibility within all possibilities. If one...
You seem to be thinking of experience as a computer game, where after simulation one has to render that simulation. I disagree. I think experience com...
It doesn't actually assume hardcore causality since the uncertainty of a probability based world requires even more processing power. The probability ...
If a simulation leaves anything that affects ones observations in any way irregardless of how indirect not processed, then that could be observed and ...
If "highly sexualized schoolgirls" is the general impression one has about anime girls, it is a false impression. If that impression is acknowledged a...
The main point of the text is that most people have this exact false impression about anime. Even in most of the "bad ones", the sexualized anime scho...
I can't since the main point of this text is about feminism ignoring the advances anime has made. I only said that feminists seem to hate anime since ...
1. Not lucky enough? just use hacks. 2. Too lucky? New game - hard mode - speedrun - no deaths allowed. 3. klapaucius or rosebud 4. Too self-aware... ...
I pretty much agree with this way of summing it up as I understand it. And I also pretty much agree with this, except the fact that I'm no expert on a...
Not disagreeing with you here. I'm just relatively angry with the fact that the internet made personal critical evaluation of information so easy that...
I'm starting this thread because of a couple of current threads start with a text that has almost no content by itself and just says to read a couple ...
But you probably wouldn't refuse to describe the argument by yourself if asked. Then it would be to reinforce your argument. And I was talking about a...
No, you are not giving them. Your points are in your sources and people are asking for you to give examples or anything that make your sources interes...
Well, you could at least say in your title and text that this topic is mainly about these specific sources, since people seem to get the wrong idea th...
No one complained to you because you had links in your text, Catherine. People complained that your topic mostly asked people to go through a huge amo...
Just trying to help the guy in the improbable case he is actually not just promoting and actually interested in discussion since the topic isn't compl...
I might just be relatively new to this forum or something, but I have been through quite a lot of of threads... What is it with this particular thread...
You probably should read yourself other threads in this forum. They are mostly high quality enough unlike this thread and this thread isn't working be...
Those, who have started to emphasize things like intuition on their evaluation of their sources instead of the critical evaluation of the easily avail...
It seems like you are trying to prove something that is way more complex than what a single thread can handle. Almost no one will go through all your ...
Internet has forsaken us! We gave it for all people through the social media. And I thought: everyone will make smarter decisions since information is...
At least, by heterosexual action as I understand sexuality, yes. Male sperm needs to impregnate a female. Not taking into account some weird developme...
Well, all I can answer for that is that nothing seems black and white in psychology. Is any homosexual purely homosexual? We know that many men have t...
Just realized: forcing homosexual people to act heterosexual increases the amount of "homosexual genes" in the gene pool. Maybe the widespreadness of ...
If this was genetic and not learned, then according to this theory, the genes that made him be like that would increase the changes of the other sex t...
I just added to the text: So, sorry for that. But evolution in the long term takes pretty much all "easy" mutations into account. What we know of evol...
I kind of agree with this... while we can clearly see in nature in quantum mechanics that there doesn't seem to be any bias towards certain possibilit...
Then we agree - logic gives no new information. It is just a tool to analyze and understand information. But since there are many unintuitive or philo...
I do agree that emotions are part of everything that means anything to us, but that is not universally accepted and is not the point of this thread, s...
Well, as I said in the foreseeable future. If everything gets automated and no one has to work justifying anything would be quite hard. Still, technic...
Ok, I see we have different definitions of information. For me, information is a limitation of the possible worlds we are in. Like if a number is betw...
I did start with zero information. I said that even without information we can see that most humans in most possible worlds don't have golden fists in...
We can always start from zero information - a state where every logically possible world is equally possible. We can for example immediately see that ...
The psychological reasons I agree with, but not with that there are things we can't give probabilities for. The idea of a simulation or any given god ...
Well, we have the welfare system of the Nordic countries. They have been taxing the rich to give the poor the certainty in life to take risks and inno...
I agree, but the problem I have in the special case of "truth" is that our own reliability (the actual effectiveness of the pill) is not ever certain....
Saying that someone needs to be the arbiter of rationality for an idea to have merit is a big claim. This is not true about someone starting a discuss...
No. I haven't even given a definition of rationality. I consider that very open to discussion. The biggest proposition I have made about rationality i...
