I just realized my first response missed your point. I guess what it comes down to is that I don't recognize Descartes' thinking vs. extended substanc...

@"tom111"'s whole argument is based on distinctions between aspects of the world, i.e. separate Cartesian substances. If you're going to forbid their ...

So... living organisms, including humans, affect the environment and organisms and environments evolve together. Agreed. That's not "missing from Lore...

I’m not worried. I’m a white, middle class American. Clearly, I have nothing to fear from my good friend AI. Just curious.

This is what Konrad Lorenz had to say: This is the basis of our conviction that whatever our cognitive faculty communicates to us corresponds to somet...

How are all these people going to die?

Before I make specific comments on your post, I'll lay out my own understanding of what logic is and how it works. This understanding comes from two p...

Alas, what you think is relevant is not always what I, or others, think. You'll have to learn to live with it. I went back and looked at my posts in t...

For me, philosophy grows out of the attitude attributed to Socrates - The unexamined life is not worth living. This way of seeing things has been grow...

I think it’s just @"Hanover"’s new catchphrase, replacing “True story.”

Is this a system you’ve developed yourself, or is it associated with some doctrine, philosophy, or religion?

Just so you’ll know, I did send a link to the video you recently posted here to the NSA.

Best we leave it at that.

We trust our rationality because it works, not always but often.

I wasn’t aware that your OP was specifically in response to an article written by someone else. I guess I missed something.

If you’re going to participate in the forum, you’d better get used to people disagreeing with you.

You are a terrible human being.

Welcome to the forum. I don't think this is true. As far as I can tell, worrying about whether or not we have free will is something only philosophers...

Again I'll say - pain, either physical or psychological, is not the same as suffering, at least not in the context of how we're discussing it. Yes, wo...

My first response to your post is that what you have described is your experience of suffering, not everyone's, although, clearly, a lot of the experi...

I like Georgia. Georgia is a friend of mine. You’re no Georgia.

Georgia is chock-full of unpreserved, non-nostalgic farms.

It was just a statement of fact. No judgment involved. I’m not claiming to be any better.

You’re kind of a bully.

I’m so proud.

Phrases I hate: Opt for Spot on Donald Trump Jr.

Since we now know about @"frank"’s friends, your answer is probably better

They’re your friends, why don’t you ask them.

Any spare money I have after I pay for my viagra, Camel unfiltereds, and the payments on my dentures goes to the Philosophy Forum.

What program do you use to generate your images? The ones I’ve tried won’t let me do celebrities and they’re very limited in the kinds of images they ...

What’s wrong with @"javi2541997"’s eyebrows? Also, why is he hanging around with 60 year-old women.

You’ve changed from our sweet, shy Spanish friend into a smarty-pants. I’m very proud.

Members of the forum should know by now that whatever I’m involved in I’m part of the problem. I’d also like to say that when it comes to invective ag...

When I’m making a philosophical claim, I sometimes point out that my argument may be taken as a bit over-simplified. In the future, I’m going to use t...

We've been shooting people in the streets here for 400 years including, I'm sure, a few Aussies. Why the outrage now?

I’m glad you haven’t forgotten.

Here’s my Nostradamus prediction - less than a month.

We get guys like you here on the forum on a fairly regular basis - those who want to provoke people without providing anything substantive to discuss ...

I was going to make a smart alec report in that same general vein, but I thought I would give us both a victory instead.

My use of words was unclear. What I meant to say was that what Damasio claims is subject to judgment as true or false as opposed to metaphysical state...

I used the wrong words. I meant it is subject to being judged as true or false.

It was probably a mistake for me to bring up the Tao in this thread. It sometimes, often, throws a monkey wrench in the machinery of discussions, but ...

Sure. The Tao Te Ching is metaphysics, not science. Metaphysics doesn't explain anything. Good metaphysics gives us hints about where to look for answ...

Also, I left banjo player off my list.

If I remember correctly, @"Wayfarer" once suggested you put a time limit on how long someone could edit a post. I didn’t like the idea because I like ...

Well, I’ll be a primate’s father’s brother. Given the rarity of these leucistic starlings, it’s an even better avatar of the rugged, independent man o...

Model, bad actress, soccer player, and Mountie - is there anything that woman can’t do?

You betcha.
