I've been the US my entire life, and still don't get what is so interesting about actors. Seems like people to not be trusted. Liars and deceivers. He...

It's a crazy world... but, nothing new there.

Lol. perhaps. Today is a day off from work, and for that i am grateful.

Sheesh, will Valentines just get over already?

Both will fail, as neither as sustainable. So I suspect that either way will bring about the end in about the same time as the other.

Indeed. I think I'll pass for now. You can when the next round of depression hits.

Spring? The groundhog couldn't see his shadow because he was buried under 8 feet of snow. This means spring is at least two years away. :roll: Anyway,...

Seems silly, valued just because of existence?

Evolution hasn’t explained those yet...

Hemoglobin and dual systems (such as the correlation between the cardiovascular and respiratory system) would be good to explain at first too.

Same principle behind it. Children generally commit lesser wrongs, hence lesser punishment. Criminals generally are older, and thus commit more grave ...

For me, I took a leap and did stuff regardless of how I felt. Struggling, but I'm stubborn enough to make it work. Sometimes people just need to shut ...

I am still alive. :chin:

The value of life. Is one more valuable than another? What makes someone alive? The world is absurd.

Oh dear.... :fear:

Haven’t tried the dish soap though! Eek!

Indeed. Finally got a full time job and working at that. Still have fleas, but I’m rarely home anymore. Supposed to have the pest control guy out agai...

still around, but no internet except when I go to the parents or library. Lately so busy trying to get settled, then fleas all over in my apartment, a...

I hope to be moved into my own apartment. And my goal for this year is to make enough money to not starve to death. Also to hopefully get out of the d...

:party: :up: :flower: :heart:

Perhaps, except that I over-regulate emotions and end up suppressing them to a dangerous extent. Soon as I get things situated, going to try some meds...

Lol. Super tiny place, so not all at once lol.

EEK! I got an apartment now. LOTS to do before moving! Won't have internet, so I may go missing in action for a while to whoever cares.

Hmmm, very interesting point.

Of course I act as though this thread exists because I believe it to exist. I can't know it exists though.

If one declares that pain is something that is received via stimuli on the sensory nerves, then yes. Perceptions of phantom pain are something differe...

Yes, which is where the assumption and calculation of likelihood must come into play. Hume could not know that he wouldn't be poisoned, but he chose t...

I am not certain that I exist, but I believe I exist. It is an assumption. Who am I? That is something I cannot answer. I see myself as stupid, lazy, ...

Perhaps. It is a curious matter indeed, but at times it gets old and some get sick of guessing all the time. :razz: No, I cannot be certain I am in pa...

I saw it! :up:

That seems to be just the point Hume made. We have no reason to believe things will always be the way they are, except that that's the way they always...

Very true. It is based on the other's perception that life is better than non-life; life is but an illusion based on one's perceptions. I think one of...

Who knew moving would be so much effort??? But hopefully freedom will follow! :party: :cool: :halo:

Yeah, which is what I said, but there are some annoying people who say they can.

:party: Yes they do, and it drives me crazy. We can't really know anything, only believe things.

Yes, I think so. :smile: That the more one knows, the more one must realize he or she doesn't know.

Except I didn't necessarily say that empiricism is the only way to learn about anything.

There, this better now? Yes, I don't think anyone who has studied much has ever declared such, and this is just a recent annoyance that has come to my...

I don't believe it to be the job of science to bring about certainty, only the likelihood of something.

I don't believe there are any ways to bring certainty. Nothing can actually be proven, but often must be assumed to a degree. Even one's own existence...

In order to achieve absolute certainty, science must prove science, otherwise we are left with just probability.

Hmm. Maybe we should work more on figuring out how to treat these illnesses. Yes, I think it does deepen how one thinks, exploring the depths of the m...

Anyone up for a chess game?

Perhaps meaning is something that one doesn't care for, as the meaning may be percieved as hurtful. That makes sense. Many people simply don't underst...

Woohooo! Finished classes! :party:

Please oh please oh please. SOMEONE!!!

To anyone interested, I need someone from a different culture (I'm American) to help with a school assignment today or tomorrow. Kinda a last minute e...

PUPPY?!?!?!? :love: Did someone say puppy?

Interesting perspective. Thank you for sharing.
