Thanks

I’m not looking for an argument or even an explanation. I’m just curious. Is expressing the opinion that white people are more intelligent as a class ...

I generally associate crickets with evening and night while I'm more used to seeing grasshoppers during the day. Do they ever even meet?

@"Hanover" This is better - We will brook no failure.

“We will not brook failure!”

There are companies right now developing and even marketing cultured meat and fish. There’s probably no reason that can’t be done for shrimp too if it...

Perhaps that wasn’t as big an issue in Polish.

It’s unlikely they are related.

I agree it’s not an object, but it is a thing. Now you and I will probably get in an argument about whether a thing has to be an object - something ph...

I said the soul, as I see it, arose from the body. I didn’t say it is the body or is the same as the body. Those are completely different things, whic...

This has the hallmarks of our usual discussions. We use the same words in different ways - give them different meanings. And then we argue about who’s...

My experience of my mind is just real as my iPhone. I was going to say my experience of my mind is just just real as my experience of my iPhone. I gue...

That’s an odd thing to say. I have my mind here right now in front of me. It’s as real as anything else in the world. It’s as much a thing as anything...

Oh, the whorer, the whorer.

That Clarky, what a wacky guy.

Something of possible philosophical importance just happened to me. I was using voice to text responding to a post here. I made reference to “Descarte...

Oops, I forgot - welcome to the forum.

I’ve always thought of soul as a near-synonym for mind, self, identity, ego, psyche, consciousness, or spirit. They each mean something a little diffe...

OK, let’s be specific. Question - What caused the crash? That’s an important question and its correct answer is useful. Answer - the frange punctured ...

I think we’re just getting tangled in language here. Causality is not the same thing as truth. Causality is a relationship between events. Truth is a ...

Yes, this is exactly the kind of situation I was talking about - where the idea of causality is useful. Causality and truth are apples and oranges. An...

Then on Friday, they can stand in line and the paymaster will pay them with two dollar bills from his cash box. That was the original direct deposit.

I think the concept of causality can be a very useful one, depending on the situation. At other times, it can be misleading.

You should take it into the office and tell everyone you, Loblaw, and T Clark (no relation) have decided to change your attendance policy.

Welcome to the forum. I don’t want to distract from your subject matter, so I’ll just say this and then begone - Not everyone sees life and the world ...

I really like your steampunk light. It’s only missing one thing - Brooke Shields.

Unless you had to get to 80 miles an hour at exactly the right time.

You are correct.

I would assume that torsion pendulum clocks have the same issue since their action depends on the effects of gravity in the same way that regular pend...

A pendulum clock moved from sea level to an altitude of 4,000 feet will lose approximately 16 seconds per day.

Like all good philosophers, I will answer the question I want to answer rather than the one you asked. As a frame to the question you’ve asked I’d lik...

Howse about you give us a brief summary rather than leaving half a response.

You seem to be able to perceive this more clearly than I do. I’ve always thought of Tuesday as just purple.

Yes, it’s true.

I agree with everything you wrote in your post. I don’t worry too much about the issue you raised in the text I quoted above because I don’t really as...

I'm starting to love Chat GPT. It lets me ask complicated questions that probably don't have a good answer in a single location. Then it gives me a sy...

I’ve given up on being correct. I’m working on being amusing.

Nope. I’m going to keep trying. Here is some more non-canonical answers. One guy, I don’t know who, it might be @"Baden", takes one of his eyes out, l...

Oops.

You’re right, their ability to count doesn’t matter and I shouldn’t have put it in there but it doesn’t make any difference. The guy running the boat ...

All the people except the guru have a pretty good idea what color their eyes are. After all they can count. So that night they go to the boat and get ...

Everybody but the Guru gets off the first night. I think I can justify all of them, but I think this is probably the best

They all get off the first night.

Guru leaves immediately.

If there’s nothing you can do about it and you’re not affected or responsible, shooting your mouth off is just a way to make you feel good about yours...

But I really like nighthawks.

Ok, OK. I did too.
