Cleaned a few rooms of the house this morning. Had a box, or what used to be a box, of old photos from childhood and earlier spilled all over the floo...

One of those weird "live for no reason" audio streams, but very relaxing. Seems to have been consistent for the past few days. Very soothing, especial...

Must you call your determination and resolve "spite"? A poison, no matter its application, remains exactly that, a poison. Proceed with caution, young...

I liked it. Seems a bit satirical, or however best worded to call the dynamic an exaggeration if its meant to parallel modern democracy. I suppose one...

Funny, I've always found the opposite. Got to drop the meticulousness and just ask the guy for the cheapest bait available. The masses love their ideo...

History doth show: As one builds Utopia, One builds oneself too.

Uh... Right, so, I was just thinking about how I don't particularly look highly upon people who say "a celery" as opposed to just "celery", "some cele...

Seems easy to get lost in this, but doesn't this ultimate resolve to computational hardware? Like, sure my old Toyota can hit 90, maybe. I don't think...

Eager to participate yet resistant as your OP rings true "it seems simple at a first (uninformed) take". I'd say a staple of consciousness has to be r...

Neat thread. I for one love a good witty analysis/introspection/musing or what have you. For what it's worth, keep in mind. A 20,000 year old rock car...

That simply means nothing intelligent operates from being "told" to perform as such. Such environments can be created, they parallel natural scientifi...

Man has an opinion. No biggie. Takes two to tango. In fact, I'd wager you may even take such as a complementary badge of honor, no? It is true, for re...

You people amaze me. It pains me how the intellectual must suffer the insufferable. Still. Like I tell others, "the only thing worse than a hard life ...

Beats me. Not a "worldly" cultural type. Been to Hawaii once. :confused: Black as a physical garment is associated with some unique qualities, superst...

It's interesting you bring that up. I've done a bit of thinking and "research" (Googling color psychology) on a congruent enough topic to hear a few t...

Italian stuff, I'd presume. Wishbone "Italian", standard version.

To put things into context, the above picture is probably my favorite dish that's not an actual entree (steak, fish, hamburger, etc). I have probably ...

Maybe they want it to be more "open to active philosophical engagement and discussion". I can see how someone would say it "answers itself" and purpor...

Anyone who can actually read that post from start to finish without seeing gibberish is likely a candidate for being kidnapped by a shady transnationa...

God I love this place. Well, let's take a crack at the obvious. Both are objects comprised of many organic components (provided it is a traditional wr...

Ok, ok, life is unacceptable at times. Let us move on please. (in reply to your reply to my question) That's a lot to process. In fact, I'm going to h...

Not sure if this has been brought up yet, but is there not that seemingly non-existent thing known as "father's rights". Unfortunate that most people ...
October 05, 2024 at 01:55
Interesting. Could you elaborate on this a bit more please? What differentiates your idea from existing systems that take into account a wealth of sen...

That's what it is. yes! Haven't read the book, must've just gleaned it from somewhere or someone who did online. The above reply (and others) gives re...

Is this something the casual/novice philosopher person interested in philosophy who's never read Wittgenstein can follow along with for the most part ...

Wow. That was probably the single-handedly most epic piece of short literature I've read here since @"Hanover"'s short story about his childhood upbri...

I think it's so threads on TPF don't devolve into a copy-paste back and forth of topics or arguments where neither person really has any idea what the...

I couldn't help but observe how it's gait is reminiscent of that of a cat. Hard to unsee once you notice it.

"They", huh? :smirk: I'd try Chinatown. Apparently it's a "thing" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Good for inflammation, if the World Wide Web ...

To be fair, I wouldn't exactly call it a word-for-word account of every single interaction. Not a nauseatingly thorough documentary or anything. I can...

Seems like more of a Lounge topic so will be replying as such but not without an underlying authenticity. Note you seem to be asking for solutions whi...

I can relate with that. What was the statistic... Compare that to: "the rate was 34 abortions per 100 live births in the year 1990" (or 34 percent). S...

Not sure if I like this ChatGPT, rather where things are likely headed. I entered: "Describe in immense detail a world where humans become extinct and...

If you know that to be a fact, you should have no problem helping them understand. Meaning, if you truly understand something others purportedly don't...

This reminds me of an earlier conundrum I was wrangling with a week ago: Is there really such a thing as a "failed experiment"? Surely it succeeded in...

I see room to disagree with this as an absolute in many if not most cases of general uncertainty. Should I pass the semi-truck in front of me? (the cl...

Yeah, well. Some people feel resentment at the fact they have to share a world with people who don't think, act, and for some, even look the same way ...

Never saw that movie or read the book but frequently hear it being spoke highly of. I think the people would largely go for it. Imagine sitting in you...
