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...
Antonio Damasio thinks that every single living thing is intentional. Every single living thing moves towards nutrition and growth, and away from harm...
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...
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...
Facts and truths can be distinguished conceptually through negation, as I suggested. Both true and untrue statements obtain, whereas only facts obtain...
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 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....
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 ...
"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...
"Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great stre...
Yeah, remember in the 90s when the big corporate distributors were beginning to use over seas child slave labour in appalling working conditions to ma...
What's the point of having cake if you aren't going to eat so much of it in one sitting that you hate yourself? And the only thing that will take the ...
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...
God is reason, in the broadest sense of the term, which every living thing has a personal relationship with, and uniquely designed their forms in corr...
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...
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 was lucky to eat growing up, let alone go to concerts. Rise Against, probably my fav band comes through Edmonton once in awhile, I plan to see them ...
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 ...
I'm becoming more and more conservative as I get older, I keep getting used, manipulated, and then mocked and derided behind my back for it. Was talki...
