Then all you have done is show what systemic racism isn't when I've been asking for what it is. You haven't shown the existence of systemic racism at ...

Would you categorize some mental activity as not thinking, as opposed to thinking? Would dreaming qualify as thinking? You can "hear" yourself think? ...

Yes, their stories are important to remember, not to be projected into the present as if they are still happening today. Maybe, but I've experienced r...

That's fine. But my point was that you are always thinking. You can never stop thinking. Even in clearing your mind, you are thinking about clearing y...

— Harry Hindu But we're talking about the present, not the past. I noticed that you didn't mention yourself here. If your parents and grand-parents st...

What they mean is that they weren't thinking correctly, as in being logical. You can't help but think - I think therefore I am. Whether or not your th...

Computers have memory - both working memory and long term memory. Computers arent just mechanical either. They need software or else the hardware does...

Your definition just doesnt work. There only needs to be awareness of thinking to possess knowledge of thinking, not just thinking itself. For thinkin...

Why would thinking require that you know that you are thinking? Before humans existed, did life exist even though knowledge of life didn't exist? Does...

What defines thinking? Processing information.

Differences between species are merely differences between "races" built up over longer periods of time of being isolated from each other. Humans were...

No. It's logical. Then it can be possible that blacks are being racist against whites. When it is black on white crime, is it necessarily racism on th...

The common scientific understanding of genetics is that the more distant the ancestor, the more differences there are between you and that ancestor, b...

You're not repeating yourself, you're contradicting yourself. Are black people human beings that possess characteristic human behaviors, or no?

Those are not the statistics. You have to remember there are two different stats - how many vs rate. More whites are killed than blacks, but relative ...

I don't know the racial composition of the admins, mods, and owners of this forum, but I would assume that you're calling many of them racists. I don'...

I have yet to deny the existence of systemic racism. Asking for the definition of systemic racism is not denying its existence. It is up to you to pro...

Re-read my previous post. I edited it as you were replying.

No, that is what you are doing. The link you provided is skewed - psuedo-statistics. It never mentions that twice as many unarmed whites are killed th...

What are you talking about? I was asking what percentages of cops are racist. Is that not asking for observable facts - like how police treat blacks v...

You're so funny. If percentages are psuedo-statistics, then why did you provide a link with percentages?

"Hundreds and thousands" of people thought the Earth was flat and the center of the universe, but that didn't make them right. It made them the subjec...

What is the difference between asking what percentage of cops are racist and asking what the statistics are of cops being racist? Stop trying to avoid...

Then you haven't been reading my posts. Questioning the assumptions that you are unwilling to question doesn't qualify as "racist apologia", just as q...

You're asking the same question. What percentage of cops are racist? Evidence? No. I didn't think so. You surely would have provided it if you had it....

Imagine if I put angry white faces in this thread. It's really difficult to find any solutions to the present problem in this thread. It is mostly emo...

We're not taking about history. We're talking about right now. How many cops and how many whites in the United States are racist. Give me an exact num...

I asked you for specific solutions, but you don't have any other than to attack others for their ideas. Exactly. Blacks are allowed to discriminate ag...

Are blacks supposed to be held to a different ethical standard than everyone else? If it is wrong to stereotype then it is wrong for everyone to stere...

As I stated in the post that you're responding to, public education is free for everyone and if you do well you can get a scholarship. There are so ma...

Words are visual scribbles and sounds. When we see or hear them we associate meaning to them, just like every other visual or sound that we see or hea...

Ad homs are the multiple "points" you have made in this thread. You're delusional if you think that you, or your side, is the only one with an open-mi...

Why would you do this? What use would you have to invent words for snow for your own personal use? The same information could not have been conveyed o...

It's extremist quotes like this that just don't reflect reality and ignore the fact that more whites have been killed by cops,(which means that if one...

Then the problem is assigning values to different cultures. There is no culture that matters more or less than any other.

The misunderstanding is yours. As I already have stated, we have a system that favors blacks, as you need to have a certain the color of skin to obtai...

The police murdered a human being. The color and sex are irrelevant. The fact that protests happen as a result of a black person being killed when man...

If you want to ignore the fact that more whites are killed by cops than blacks to focus on the rate at which blacks are killed compared to whites, the...

Awesome. I'm looking forward to your response to the rest of my post that you just quoted, and one after that.

To say that a computer mimics a person is already defining consciousness as something that can simulated or emulated. Can consciousness be mimicked or...

Because you've restricted the domain of the discussion to humans. One of the possible answers to "what is the definition of consciousness" is, "I dont...

:yikes:

Then you mistook what I was asking for. I wasn't asking for a rough idea, but a specific one as you seemed to know the specifics if you can behave lik...

It's applying your definition, not mine I asked you this: If there is something more, then what is it - that it has to be a human? Then by definition ...

I thought I pointed that out - because the hypothesis turns out to be useful for every human that applies it. Do smartphones work the same for everyon...

I think that's part of the problem - anthropomorphism. I thought you were talking about p-zombies too, and the point still applies to them:

A hypothesis is a scientific opinion. It becomes fact after it has been tested by numerous human beings numerous times. So is the question then how do...

It's not you and I that aren't seeing eye to eye. You aren't seeing eye to eye with your previous statement. What makes it impossible for a "standard ...

Waking and sleeping states aren't physical states? Well, you did define consciousness as the difference between waking and sleeping states, so it seem...

If science was always right, then the SpaceX manned mission wouldn't be considered a test flight. Every space mission is a test of our current scienti...
