My patience is as eternal as the winds and waves of this realm. My understanding as far and unyielding as the deepest valleys and fjords. No, your top...
Dude. I like jokes as much as the next guy. But you're pushing the limits. Lilterally my questions in bold: Either you don't know what English sentenc...
Oh my, have myself and OP have been having a good (and pleasant, might I add) conversation in the Private Message function. Which he initiated, of cou...
You will not find a single example of any post in this discussion, even remotely possible, I might add, as "rude", as my reply is to the IDEA expresse...
No one said everything must. That which is meaningless, simply disppaears as it should. This is fine. In fact, demanded by those who know a life witho...
So, you have no real point, essentially. Or at the very least cannot understand an idea enough to simplify it for those who wish to grasp it. Cool. Al...
Why, whatever I can fashion into helping me along on this difficult road of life, of course. What a silly inquiry. :smile: Neither, 'tis but a simple ...
I'll take it from here. What is your "point", OP. These concepts and mental "discoveries" (gymnastics, others will call) are surely fascinating, enter...
See this is interesting because, let us, say, take Pascel's "demon" (or whatever) where one knows what men cannot know. The Universe is, according to ...
Huh. Never noticed that before. Interesting. So, like, to use the previous example of mine, the frequency (or perhaps dispersion) of how one speaks (o...
To what degree? Help me understand. Some examples. Let's say: "I climbed Mt. Everest last year." Where the person has extensive video documentation of...
I can't quite say I understand or agree with this. There's some buzzword Latin term for it, I'm sure. I don't know it. But, in simple words, everythin...
After a quick Google search, this is actually a repost, yes. However, the person he is engaging with does seem to find it interesting, though perhaps ...
If it walks like a duck, it's probably a duck. If you're never allowed to change, that is not to say broadcasted constantly "there's something wrong w...
This is actually interesting because when you order Taco Bell online, it gives you a customization option (presumably the same you find at the order w...
Or do you? Heh. sorry. :lol: I'm going to attempt to, likely trivially, but hopefully effectively, simplify a few things I would assume the average pe...
If it's alright, and it might not be, and if so I apologize in advance, as someone who's been following this topic in a very light and casual way (it'...
I'm sure it often does, very often, actually, yes! Of course, what is "conceitedness" but the tangential cousin of arrogance? And what is arrogance bu...
How so? Certainly not towards you! Merely implying that the conspiracy of (granted I'm assuming what agenda you imply it to be advancing or protecting...
Stupidity is not necessarily indicative of agency. Here, something more suited to the folk of this day and age: "Never attribute to malice what can be...
Shawn is clearly a secret wealthy elite who we should be honored to even be in the same room with, let alone to communicate with us directly. Even if ...
It's not the same. The average person is not a deep or reverent thinker. The English language is complex. It's like supervising a rogue IT guy. If you...
Until our dear friend wishes to express a response, perhaps one interested in the overarching debate (such as myself) might find value in observing th...
Some objects are in fact, manifest of concepts. Trash in a bin, for example. Sure, there may be a lost gold ring or other heirloom that would supersed...
And I believe you're right. But the question is, how did you come across to believe that the above sentiments, beliefs, and philosophies, are in fact ...
It's just not very philosophical in any way, shape, or form. Evolution (or any other form of physical being) is set in stone. Sure, maybe I'm taller t...
Who? Lol. :lol: What he say? You know, replace "Group X" with, I dunno, peacocks or something. Like, give us some context at least. Was it just an ill...
So, it may be, from the widely encompassing possibility you've allowed, a mandrill! https://www.onekindplanet.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/the-mandr...
Not anymore so than the claim of which spawned it, I'd say. It just seems a bit unsound from how I process it in my own head. Not bad. Just, in need o...
Weird. Just this morning, not two hours ago, I, irregularly and in a break from my regular ritual, felt unusual and so grabbed a long ignored "Sparkli...
I wonder how whoever figured that out did so. Like, I'm imagining there being some funny, feelgood story that went along with it. There probably isn't...
Interesting.. very interesting! One naturally has a million questions but would never wish to intrude upon nor assume your disposition to share such s...
Smells like nihilism to me, OP. It's certainly a bit to unpack and then ponder using the given methodologies and justifications OP has provided. Like ...
What is a "fake, fake painting" and how would that differ from a "fake, fake, fake painting?" Can such a concept continue ad infinitum? :chin: This is...
I haven't noticed. Yes we all begin with something unrecognizable from what we are meant to become. Did you yourself not start with much less, barely ...
I'm a bit of a perfectionist, I must admit. No doubt a result of my own nagging follies and various idiosyncrasies, to put them lightly. I like polish...
This statement is correct yet missing information some may consider lacking to constitute what is "True," Any person, even a non-person robot could pe...
Oh. Well, you would know, after all. That's why you're the site owner and I'm not, assuredly. Such a grand and intriguing intellect, that one has. Yes...
@"Banno" in the Shoutbox? Of all persons? How strange. I'll let the NPC dialog from a video game I recently started playing capture my sentiment. http...
What, in the best of your ability, are whoever you're referencing "confused" about. And why so. And what does this allegedly professed "knowledge" or ...
How can one know confusion (rather that they are confused) without knowing clarity (that they are not confused). If one does not know clarity it is si...
Is there really no term or concept (even if it's not a simple one or two length word) synonymous with "Qualia". It's an invented term, presumably beca...
That's right, I remember having read that now before. Interesting. Makes sense, of course. But isn't a (simple) math problem basically just adding or ...
I wouldn't compare the "experience of red" with the "experience of loud". One is measurable in decibels that will literally blow or otherwise permanen...
I apologize, I appear to have made a momentary lapse in judgement. The secondary question, now that you've suggested such is: "is the inability (or ra...
That's also fine. I don't know who that is. Not that I can recall, at least. How would you set out the issue. No Chalmers, no this and that referencin...
That's fine. And I doubt that. Is "qualia" not fundamental to what is considered to be defining, if not relevant, to the "Hard Problem of Consciousnes...
I wish, if you might entertain me, just for a moment, to frame this argument in a different light. Let's say, mankind never developed the ability to s...
