@"TheMadFool" Duration alone? What is duration alone? All things have duration. And living beings perceive duration.

@"TheMadFool" I regard duration/time as movement/change. Movement and change are physical properties.

@"TheMadFool" No. I'm categorizing them as similiar. Thoughts do have duration and intensity. The separation of thoughts and feelings is similiar to t...

Up to you with implication you dont care if you dont agree with arguement as constructed. Sheesh! The rhethoric of the virtue signaller. Trying to gui...

@"Banno" Why the dichotomy? You can say it would be good to have a lift. Nothing to do with a person being able to use stairs being "privileged". This...

@"TheMadFool" Thoughts and feelings do have intensity and duration. Sound and pressure if you include speaking.

A lottery ticket and the winner is determined! Wow! A dice throw is determined? Counterfactuals regret or deciding choosing are all meaningless langua...

@"Hippyhead". So what is the extent to which or the matters in which you do have free will?

@"Hippyhead" How was it established before you were born? I can't change that i WILL but that is more a linguistic misunderstanding. My nature my inna...

@"Augustusea" Excellent irrelevant aphorism. But you were fated to say that so you get no credit. :cool:

@"Hippyhead" Our Will is not determined at all. What to you would be an example of something determined?

@"Hippyhead" :up: The most salient point is if we have no control there is no point to philosophy or science. But even determinists live as if they ha...

@"Augustusea" You are getting owned thats why you CHOOSE to back out. In no way can you defend your assertion of determinism,nor anyone else. You had ...

@"Augustusea" Socratic method! Ah,the appeal to authority. If somebody says the sky is a pink elephant I dont have to refute him. Ditto your assertion...

@"Augustusea" I chose my own breakfast. If your logic says no then it's not logic but dogma. Tell me,how do.you learn anything new if your determined?...

@"Augustusea" Yes determinism. The dogma of those who have stunted their common sense and logic. Everything has a cause? What caused the mythical big ...

@"Judaka" :up:

@"Augustusea" We are now descending into bizarro world! So who decided for you to post this reply if not you? And if you changed your mind you could h...

@"Augustusea" So your saying some folks are determined to be optimists and some pessimists? Maybe its personal determination that settles reality. Hav...

@"Hippyhead" :up:

@"jorndoe" Go have a look at the stats for the countries surrounding china. And Australia and NZ. Some of those countries have under a few hundred "co...

@"Anaxagoras" So basically 6 deaths over what period? Since march? Where they proven from covid or underlying health issues. What ages? And you see th...

Ah,the belief that plutocracy will redistribute wealth to the detriment of themselves. Such a cute fairytale of leftists and conservatives. Great=rich...

@"Metaphysician Undercover" The wealthy elite are the government and its subsidiaries. It's not one entity but they have shared goals and there are wi...

@"Anaxagoras" Your not answering a basic point. How many deaths from covid in Your hospital? You can take excerpts from any science literature,there i...

@"TheMadFool" Could something be non mass quantifiable but physical? Light is physical,the mass is?

@"Banno" Great description! Pwned. A man too cowardly to confront the demolition of his twin idols. The ironic thing is the naming and necessity threa...

@"Augustusea" No one has a choice?! Many people live without this dogmatic view of suffering and prosper. How does your determinism explain that?

@"Anaxagoras" The pics you sent are not opening. Write the stats if you wish. You obviously have no idea of the science of kochs postulates or the val...

@"Anaxagoras" How many deaths in your place of work? Listen,there is zero proof of covid 19. The test are bogus. Even by your own medical science covi...

@"tim wood" Your problem is you are way too fond of sweeping generalisations and unfounded assumptions and then when you cant understand a nuance you ...

@"Banno" A description is a use. Do you not use descriptions? Yes Asif the description tells you describes to you the personal sound I respond to in c...

@"Metaphysician Undercover" Perhaps you also believe Saddam Hussein had WMDs and that govts never lie or institute false flags and hoaxes for monetary...

@"Anaxagoras" Yes people die in emergency depts. How old were they? Preexisting conditions? How many? Proof of cause of death? There are multiple veri...

@"Metaphysician Undercover" You could try to assess the situation with your own personal.experience. what makes you think the media are honest and cor...

@"Banno" Identity and description are the same thing. Words can have different degrees of description depending on context. Your feigned socratic igno...

@"Banno" Lol! It is both. This atomistic dissection is funny. Even witty would scorn you for adhering too closely to the picture frame theory.

@"Banno" Nope,sleight of hand on the name. Asif the name is a description of the sound used to identify me given a certain context. And you are just a...

@"Banno" See,as I said above you will now throw numerous words at me like a pedant without recognising the general pattern and inference. Abscence des...

@"Banno" The word that identifies my personal name. Dependent on context once again.

@"Banno" Ah,right on cue! Nothing depends on context. It describes the absence of something. You think description is merely looking still???!

@"Banno" The feeling when I want to draw extra attention or specify more accurately what I'm describing. This is easy. Common sense meets the neurosis...

@"Banno" It's an emphasis of the subject you are referring to. Emphasis is a part of description. This is fun!

@"Banno" That's a good boy. I don't dig on appeals to authority.

@"Banno" I've looked. There Descriptions. And they refer or point to descriptions. The referring and pointing Is part of the description. Is your post...

@"Banno" Who said anything about not looking? I can describe feelings without looking at them.

Protagorus the most astute of all famous philosophers explained this common sense about reality some time ago...But the perversion of common sense by ...

@"tim wood" Total strawman. Go read again. And how about asking for a clarification or asking how you have misunderstood my position. Knee jerk could ...

@"bert1" Much appreciated. Though I'm sure many will see such common sense as "unphilosophical." Nor academic enough!

@"Daniel" It depends on the context and the idea expressed. You can say all you want. I said sometimes. You ignore the context and what I'm saying. I ...
