Here you are providing reasons as to why something is impossible or possible. So it seems that what is possible or not is determined by some prior set...

I wasnt talking about the nervous system and brain. I was talking about reasoning. Its not an assumption that reasoning is that act of using reasons t...

Are you asking if indeterministic events are determined? Sound deterministic to me. Any time you use prior conditions to explain subsequent conditions...
February 23, 2021 at 12:07
Sure there is. But that wasn't the question. If I programmed the computer to "rule them all", then I wouldn't be programming a swamp computer. It woul...
February 22, 2021 at 11:51
I also pointed out that we each only provided one source and each of our sources says the complete opposite so where does that leave us if not with th...
February 22, 2021 at 11:45
How would that be any different than what we have now?
February 21, 2021 at 13:52
Depends on who programmed it.

This doesn't address how one party would come to power if there were no parties. You're moving the goalposts. I'm not saying that ppl can't work toget...
February 21, 2021 at 13:08
No. It seems like you are the one arguing forthe sake if arguing.. Be more specific. What is the subcategory that you are talking about? Corruption is...

The problem is that we have camps in the first place.
February 20, 2021 at 13:14
You obviously haven't been paying attention. Where on this forum have I ever said that Trump was my favorite? I agree to an extent. Systemic racism is...
February 20, 2021 at 13:13
Agreed, but then with all of these non-Americans' emotional investment in American politics as if it were their own country makes me wonder if these n...
February 20, 2021 at 13:11
I don't get this logic. How would one party acquire power if there are no parties? I'm going to need you to walk me through that in order to properly ...
February 20, 2021 at 13:10
We were talking about corruption, so it isn't a different dataset. We should also add local and state officials to the mix and see what we get. If you...
February 20, 2021 at 12:48
What I am suggesting is that you are only providing one biased source for your "evidence". If I only provided one source that was biased, would you ta...
February 19, 2021 at 14:49
Well there's the final nail in the coffin of the idea that a third party is necessary. What you are actually saying is that we need four parties and t...

If it didn't have some degree of privacy we could never lie.
February 18, 2021 at 11:04
Its not realistic when people have been manipulated into thinking that they are the only two choices. Again, thinking that your one vote is going to d...
February 17, 2021 at 11:31
You're just voting for more racism and corruption in voting for Biden. The evidence was all there, but the mainstream media swept it under the rug. Bi...
February 17, 2021 at 11:23
And we all know how accurate polling in 2016 was. I already explained what I meant by "fraudulent". Would you consider voters misinformed by the left-...
February 17, 2021 at 11:07
Or a view from everywhere. The thing about objectivity is that it does not include information about location relative to the body. A view does. So ob...
February 17, 2021 at 10:49
its the type of vote you would have cast if you lived in the US.
February 16, 2021 at 12:45
The difference between objectivity and subjectivity is that information about location relative to the body is absent in an objective view (ie. a view...
February 16, 2021 at 12:40
The point was that more people should have voted for Hillary when it was Hillary vs. Trump compared to Biden vs. Trump. Hillary should have won by a l...
February 16, 2021 at 12:20
Using this logic, Hillary should have beat Trump. So it appears that at least one election was rigged - the 2016 or the 2020? We already know the Dems...
February 15, 2021 at 15:22
So it was more for a hate for Trump than a like for Biden. That is no wonder considering the assault on the man's character throughout his tenure. Jus...
February 14, 2021 at 14:38
Do I have to think independently for you, MU? This was just the tip of the iceburg. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/no-trump-electoral-college-...
February 14, 2021 at 14:05
Right. So, please tell me why Biden got more votes than Hillary when he came in last place in the primary against her and Obama? And Kamala came in la...
February 14, 2021 at 13:56
I didn't say that. How do you reconcile what I actually said with what you just said?
February 14, 2021 at 13:50
This type of response it what is expected of someone that is indoctrinated with group-think. The Dems were incessantly claiming that Trump stole the 2...
February 14, 2021 at 13:39
If you were watching any of the impeachment trial you would see that proof. If you are listening to both democrats and the republicans which are sayin...
February 12, 2021 at 21:26
I never said it was. I did say that time is a measurement which means that believing that time exists independently of your mind would be an illusion....
February 12, 2021 at 12:26
Depends on the human. Some non-human lives are more valuable than some human lives.
February 10, 2021 at 19:02
There is change and then the measurement of change, which is time. How long did it take for the apple to turn from green to red? Seven spins of the Ea...

The exception is a given because lifeguards are there to save lives. Just as there are various contexts in which to use some word, there are various c...

A rule is a generalization of actions that should be taken in a particular instance, or circumstance based on prior observations of those actions work...

This is assuming that consciousness isnt physical, hence begging the question. Do you know enough about consciouness to assert that it is physical or ...
February 08, 2021 at 11:50
What is a rule if not an action that should be performed given a particular set of circumstances? The rule, "Dont run around the pool" only applies in...

If p-zombies are like humans in every way except that they dont posses consciousness, then how do p-zombies know that they know anything? What form wo...
February 07, 2021 at 15:15
We do have something simpler than humans that we can probably say doesn't have consciousness - bacteria and viruses - but none of these are humans. So...
February 07, 2021 at 15:02
I think, "protocol" would be a more apt term to use when explaining how communication works. It seems nit-picking to me. We all use reasons for our ac...

If you have followed any of my posts on this forum, you know that I assume the position others are making and then integrate it with the rest of what ...

Are birds nests and bird mating rituals the result of the birds genes or upbringing?
February 06, 2021 at 14:28
how do you do that if you cant determine whether or not some way of behaving is the result of genes or upbringing?
February 06, 2021 at 14:27
Right. So how do you determine whether or not some behavior is the result of a social norm or the individuals own choice? If a large group of women de...
February 06, 2021 at 14:17
So if any woman chooses to be a housewife, then that can only be because she was brought up in a such a way to be ignorant if anything else? The same ...

What does "equity" mean - an equal number of each race and sex which isn't representative of the local population or an unequal number of each race an...
February 03, 2021 at 11:50
Thats not what I asked or implied. Your "meaning is use" is either too trivial or too vague. Either way, it isn't useful.
