@"Enrique", @"apokrisis", @"Gnomon" I made a mistake. I stuck my nose into the quantum effects on thinking trap when I didn't have to. I should have k...

I took a look. From the Amazon blurb is sounds a bit like Carlos Castenada's books, e.g. "The Teachings of Don Juan." I was heavy into them in my yout...

As I've noted many times, Enrique's posts on scientific subjects are pseudo-science - incomprehensible mashups of buzzwords and jargon that don't real...

Ok. Agreed. I tried to be clear in the OP. The authors seem credible, their ideas seem plausible and supported, but I'm not committed to any of the po...

Thanks, Javi. I appreciate that. I had never heard of Austin or his book. I looked him up on the web and looked at the book on Amazon. Sounds like it ...

Seems to me that would only be true if the term "mental processes" only applies to conscious phenomena and intentional acts and decisions. That's a pr...

I put a lot of effort into these posts. If you don't have anything substantive to add, please go to a different thread.

I’m going to run through my sources in no particular order. I don’t intend to show a comprehensive view of human cognition, or even necessarily a cons...

I do. Love maps. Lot's of good evidence for future arguments. Thanks.

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass. It even took me a while to figure it out. That's one of the things I liked about "Clarky," but I just couldn't keep usin...

I thought people might be interested in this. It's a great resource. It lists the scientific and philosophical primary sources it considers central to...

I think your conclusions are right, with a quibble. Although neuroscientists don't generally do metaphysics, they swim in a metaphysical sea. I'd gues...

First off, this is a really interesting thread. I think this is true but wrong. Oh, wait, I forgot the Law of the Excluded Middle. It's true sometimes...

Some ideas: The Non-Fluffinator Anti-fluffitron Bizzarro Fluffy Donald Trump Jr.

And runs on diesel.

@"Jamal" I've been meaning to ask you. Have sanctions had any effect on everyday life there? Other than not being able to get egg steamers on Amazon.

We've lived here for 43 years, so we have many more gadgets than we need.

@"Jamal" is a Russki. Didn't Amazon shut Russia down? Perhaps Ali Baba.

Aw, shucks. You're making me blush.

I thought about that, but I don't eat them often enough to want another piece of equipment on the kitchen counter. Perhaps if I had an egg manufactory...

What I always hated about that method was having to watch the pot to see when it starts boiling. I am not a patient person. Perhaps you've noticed tha...

A good OP. Well-written, clear, and interesting. I think you've put the cart before the horse. Not nearly all, but all words in the dictionary stand f...

I've always hated boiling eggs. I get very uneven results. Then I heard of this method. Works perfectly every time. Preheat the eggs in hot water from...

And more dignified for the dog.

This is the Shoutbox, where we shout and box. You can talk about anything (except Jonny Depp and Amber Heard). It's more freewheeling than normal thre...

Sorry, that's not a picnic. That's dining al fresco. For picnics you sit on the ground.

Soft boiled? These days that's my favorite kind of egg. I'm eating it at least once a week for dinner with crunchy bread or toast. I've been thinking ...

Oak flooring typically comes in 2.5 inch tongue and groove widths. These days, wood flooring is often made from 1/4 inch wood veneers over particle bo...

I think the first was a dog bed in the car coming back from Virginia.

Again - a day without a post to the Shoutbox. Again - a picture of my son's new dog. I can keep this up forever. /uploads/resized/files/v9/wx77838h9i6...

Except that it is what you said.

I'll just repeat myself:

It's exactly what he said.

Example of a specious argument: 1) You need to be an artist to understand art. 2) I disagree. 3) Well, but you're not an artist so you wouldn't unders...

I'm a writer.

I don't think either of these is true.

I agree with what you've written.

You should know, being from southern Canadia and all.

I already edited that. I'm trying to be a kinder, gentler philosopher.

I know non-artists, non-art aficionados, just regular old people who, the first time they saw a cubist painting were completely blown away. That says ...

It would be helpful if you can give some examples of the universal design principles. Edit - I see you provided some examples previously. Thanks.

Unless something is screwy, an artist's primary audience is not other artists. I would say the significance of an artist is not his impact on them. Pe...

Here's a link to my favorite @"Streetlight" thread. I go back and reread it from time to time. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/2235/networks...

I thought it was a-boot. Maybe that's a regional dialect. In order to be consistent, you should spell color "colour" too.

And in mine. I really hated that book. Actually, I hated almost all of Heinlein that I read. I did really like Starship Troopers. It was one book wher...

I have no problem with the decision the moderators made. I know it was hard. You've all known him longer than I have. I'm just furious with people who...

I didn't make them up. I mean what I say and I think your words justify my characterization. I understand you disagree.

You're trying to sound all reasonable instead of smug and self-righteous, but if you were really wise, you'd just shut up and let me vent. But I guess...
