This is certainly not true. There are more than seven billion human minds that are objects to us and only one you might argue isn't.

This happened last time we talked too - I misunderstood what you were trying to say in the OP. If I remember correctly, I classed social morality in a...

Well I'm glad we clarified my misunderstanding. Now I can feel more comfortable disagreeing strongly with you.

I think they are the same in that they are expressions of personal values and feelings as opposed to reason. Is that what you mean?

This is a subject I've been thinking about since your last similar discussion. I appreciate the chance to clarify for myself how I think and feel abou...

Back in my folkier days I was a fan of Bill Staines. We saw him a few times live. I like yodeling too, in moderation.

If by "wholesome" you mean "nothing like @"Hanover"" then, yes, I agree.

When I looked up "Rhapsody in Blue on banjo video" on Google I got two hits. I used the more annoying of the two.

Please note I was first. I wouldn't have been tasteless enough to step on another's joke.

You shouldn't have to work in an elevator. Talk to your partners about getting an office.

I read dozens, hundreds of science fiction books and stories when I was a kid. Most of them have just mixed into the general science fiction memory sl...

You're right. At the gym I go to, they play bland pop music everywhere. Really annoying. After listening for a while, I realized how much it sounds li...

People joke that country music is all about drinking and getting divorced, but I've always found that good country music, or at least the kind I like,...

This is another of those situations you've discussed before - a qualified and respected scientist makes what appears to be an extraordinary claim in a...

Sounds interesting. I'll take a look.

That's the thin line between humor and corny I was talking about. No doubt a lot of country music gets on the wrong side of the line and a lot of it i...

Just about everyone in anime is an urchin. It represents the urchinization of humanity.

Kant to me was always the epitome of the philosopher who makes everything more complicated than it has to be and expresses that complicated understand...

The question of why people do the things they do is a matter of fact, psychology, even if we don't know the answer. You can talk about it philosophica...

Is there a name for it I can look up?

As @"Hanover" notes: When I lived in southern Virginia, I used to watch the Porter Wagoner show from time to time. He was a really big deal and he bro...

For me, philosophy is how I become aware of how my mind works. I guess that makes it a psychological tool. As I told @"Judaka": I am working on a clev...

Poke salad is correct. Polk is wrong.

The important part for me is that, in this case, unless you get the science right, the philosophy is meaningless. The discussion is not about what is ...

Thanks. I still don't think I'll try it.

Poke Salad Annie because: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/27/Mature_Pokeweed.jpg Pokeweed is toxic, but if prepared correctly can be ...

A new word, for me a least. Actually, a new use for an old word. "To intentionally call attention to the improbable, incongruent, or clichéd nature of...

I've always assumed you look exactly like groundskeeper Willy. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/dc/GroundskeeperWillie.png/86px-Groun...

And speaking of Alan Arkin. Another cultural reference for another dollar - "Cub is young bear." Twenty bucks if you can get them both.

A couple of thoughts. First, a quibble, this is really psychology, not philosophy. It deals with matters of testable fact. Second, the idea that human...

Two thoughts 1) You were already confused before. 2) No. That's just a misspelling. The forum is cute, not a cult.

Yes. I'm sure you're right. It just seemed neat to me. I like playing with names. How about "T Quark?" "T Kork." "P Pork." "C Lark." "C Tlark." "T Kra...

I didn't say anything about whether or not I am in your cult. I only said perhaps Jamal is not the only member who is not in your cult.

Perhaps not.

You weren't paying attention.

I have not read "Children of Time" yet. I'm sure I'll get around to it. He's really a good writer. Real name - Adrian Czajkowski.

I did pay attention. In the past, people believed that life couldn't come out of non-living material. Most now agree that it can. That situation is an...

Can a particle with 0 life + a form with 0 life create life?

We are not talking about the Sleeping Beauty Problem, we are talking about the "Sleeping Beauty Problem" problem.

I am deeply offended that the Sleeping Beauty Problem is still active after almost 500 posts. People solved it back on the third page and they're stil...

I hadn't heard of it, so I looked on the web. Apparently it's a type of scrapple that contains more pig liver than the kind from further north typical...

I grew up in Delaware, where scrapple is popular. It's made from a lot of the left over pork and ham trimmings. They're ground up fine and mixed with ...

Eggs Benedict is normally made with Canadian bacon, although I think it would be better with ham, which I think is moister and fattier.

I'm not so secretly originally from Delaware.

All of the above please, plus scrapple and ham.

Not recommended, but also not sacrilegious. You do get points for not being wasteful. I've been known to roll leftover room temperature pancakes aroun...

I've always liked dark meat better than white and thighs give you the largest meat/bone ratio.

This is a cow, but they are closely related to buffalos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ8jGqdE2iw

@"Noble Dust" says me putting corn in my guacamole is anathema, but I'll show you real anathema - toaster pancakes.
