You're actually horrible at arguing. You're deluded. Your ego has blinded you. Take care. Confidence: the water of the wise man, the liquor of the foo...

Every PhD in music can read music. Dismissed.

Anyone can assert validity and that's all you're doing here: asserting validity. Validity is easy to assert. But you need to demonstrate validity. Oth...

If your original argument is "patently obviously valid," you should be able to formalize it, like neomac formalized it above. (Formalize means somethi...

Yes, there's a background and a stimulus. Romantic notions may give rise to Romanticism-inspired propaganda. I don't think it's accurate to call an -i...

Murder, tyranny and war predate the Romantics. All this "brink of disintegration" talk is overblown. Tragedians and pessimists of every stripe have be...

Spoken like a true troll. Well done.

Poor Jack needs to get some rest now, his brain is fried from staring at this clock for weeks.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! :smile:

No, a documentary. Much too young for the Long Hot Summer of Love. :wink:

I got into Dylan via Jimi's performance of "Like a Rolling Stone" at Monterey. Blew my fragile little mind.

All my pleasure. :starstruck: I've been a big fan of Jimi and Dylan since I was about 13.

His constant puerile insults mark him as a troll regardless of his positional consistency.

Here's the quote: It is perhaps the ultimate accolade to Hendrix that the creator plays the cover version of his creation. Dylan has said as much: “It...

I remember reading somewhere that Dylan feels like it's Jimi's song too.

Happy to be a second. He constantly ruthlessly insults (almost?) everyone he talks to.

Yeah, it's the Wild West. Wouldn't the mods boot Bart if someone reported him?

It's amusing. :halo:

False. It's precisely controversial: Moral emotions are a variety of social emotion that are involved in forming and communicating moral judgments and...

Is this also non-controversial?

There seems to be some controversy.

1.??? (outlandish) 2. Obviously false. Reason is a faculty. Reason isn't a mind.

1. Arguable. Emotions and irrationality may also play a role. 2. The word "source" seems ambiguous here. Mostly seems okay. 3. Seems okay. 4. "Single ...

That works. So I mean atheism as a positive claim. :smile:

Atheism is sometimes the absence, sometimes the rejection, of a belief. I mean the rejection.

Ask yourself: why is the above laughable rationalization more important to me than being friendly and somewhat accomodating to transsexuals? Why don't...

Unless you want to argue that atheism doesn't qualify as "something"...

The word "atheism" can be substituted for the word "theism". If we lack good evidence for something, then we can’t know that it’s true. So, if we lack...

You won't get an honest or constructive exchange with this one. Just dogma, insults and, ultimately, nonsense.

It shouldn't be a problem as his next assertion is: projections do not exist. If to do their work they don't need to exist, I don't suppose they'll ne...

Or, possibly clearer: Does it bother you, or does it seem strange to you, to say: There are thoughts, I can experience thoughts, but thoughts do not e...

Does it bother you, or seem strange to you, to say one can have an experience of a non-existent? Or: One can have an experience of something that does...

So the projection-apple is projected by the brain?And you have an experience - the image of an apple (variable apple, if you like)? Maybe you'd rather...

Do projections exist?

So if you cut open the brain, there's no apple. So where is the apple? What is the location of the apple you're imagining?

I mean the actual apple you're imagining. Can we cut open your brain and pull out the apple?

Imagine an apple. Is that apple somewhere in your brain?

Not exactly. Your definition of existence excludes thoughts. Mine doesn't. I include thoughts in my definition of existence. Hardly an extreme positio...

There's no point in going back and forth. We have a fundamental disagreement, and that's that.

Exactly what I expected you to say. You've eliminated thoughts from your picture of the world. That's easy to do. But thoughts exist. It's laughable t...

Rest assured god is at this very moment simultaneously friddling and not friddling a bleth.

Some agenda behind a position like that...

Are projections physical?
