You love animals Sap, didn't you call someone a frog murderer before you realized it (maybe it was something else, but I'm thinking frog)?

I don't trust them fuckers. Behaviorism, and introspection are not reliable enough. Multiple different causes can manifest the same symptoms. Think ab...

I wasn't suggesting that neurological disorders don't exist, just that psychologists aren't helpful. Or at least aren't needed, though therapeutic the...

I prefer Jung, though by his own suggestion, he was an artist. I think though, that the moment you give anyone more authority over your experiences, y...

I stole it from my little sister, I think it's great.

A pirate walks into a bar, and the bartender says "what's with the steering wheel in your pants?", and he replies "it's drivin' me nuts."

Ha, I was there like ten years ago, 2007 I believe. Think March maybe.

Antonio Damasio thinks that every single living thing is intentional. Every single living thing moves towards nutrition and growth, and away from harm...

There's a dark side to every fetish.

Don't say that in Germany, you'll get arrested. You know that you can't show Nazi's or Nazi iconography in Germany? That's like half of all of the bad...

Schopenhauer thought that all geniuses were sexually deviant in some sense at least, as a normal sexuality just wouldn't do for them. I feel like he s...

Only off by 62%? That ain't bad.

Women have too much sense for philosophy... literally, twice as many nerve receptors.
January 26, 2017 at 09:44
It doesn't make any difference to me about the words being used, but I do think that there is a clear difference between propositions and reality, eve...

I mean it in a sense like "can be come upon". I can come across untrue statements or unfactual statements even (if you like), but I cannot come across...
January 26, 2017 at 08:14
Facts and truths can be distinguished conceptually through negation, as I suggested. Both true and untrue statements obtain, whereas only facts obtain...

In Canada red is Liberal.
January 26, 2017 at 05:32
Facts as states of affairs, or what make true statements true, can only hold an ontological distinction between facts and true statements, and not an ...

Obviously machines, or A.I.s aren't physically identical to people... I didn't realize that it was a physically identical world. I don't think that it...

I should have been able to vote for Trump.
January 24, 2017 at 15:43
That's probably why. I could understand if your name was Joey, you could be nick named Jewy,

I learned it from that movie with the British guy that plays Scotty in the new star trek movies, with the robots. They say it like five hundred times....

If it happens more than once, then it's probably your fault.

P-zombies are interesting. Descartes didn't think that a machine could possibly master natural language, and I'm not sure if an A.I. can either... but...

The distinction is on of excess. Tanha are desires that cannot be satisfied, whereas the good ones can be. The former are simply unrealistic, harmful ...
January 23, 2017 at 23:37
"Desire" is also not a proper translation of the Buddhist meaning and tends to get blown way out of proportion. It's more accurately "craving" than "d...

Obviously both of those things take strength though, just different kinds, and certainly to different degrees for different people. It, I would imagin...

Wayfarer's comment just reminded me of that. See, if we aren't speaking the same narrative, then we aren't speaking the same language, even if we're u...

Because it's doubly a lie. Doubly.
January 23, 2017 at 09:04
It's all a lie. Everything is a lie.
January 23, 2017 at 08:55
You can actually have a cake and eat it too, but you can't eat a cake and have it too, which is the proper expression. Saying it right was a clue in c...

No, people don't see precisely the same colours, their eyes vary, there is environmental saturation, and other factors. What's important is not that w...

We could always hunger games each other for the amusement of the weird looking wealthy. It's a living.

Isn't science as sole arbiter of truth a liberal fetish anyway? Isn't suggesting its limitations in any sense enough in itself to infer a conservative...

I ought to make a point to go to a couple of concerts this year, even if alone. I definitely would like to.

Closest I've been to going to a concert was watching Our Lady Peace on one of the big screens on the side walk beside the concert area in Halifax. It ...
