The Philosophy Discussion Forum

Okay, but then how is a thought "created", as such? I'm not going to quibble on technicalities. I'm actually interested in the logic you use for this theoretical construct. And on a related note, could you sketch out your definition for "soul" and "spirit?" I think ther...

No, it's not a bit strong, because you actually don't have a shred of evidence. Just the evidence of your own experience - and there's no reason to assume that his experiences need to dovetail with yours. Even if your statement is correct - "If he is not exaggerating then he needs to check in t...

Lets face it. Neither of us have been particularly cooperative. Bickering further on that score is rather pointless. "MRI and CT/PT scans can reveal which brain sections are active during thinking, but these use massive magnetic fields. MRI scans are powerful enough to make a penny in your pock...

"The profundity of his colour blindness is a lie. Were anyone on earth to have such severity then that would be a medical phenomenon worthy of scientific study." How can you make such a statement without seeing the obvious assumption - that you know everything, or that the world is an idea...

Excellent! Some progress. Okay. Hang on to that cooperative mood. Let me give you a decent answer. Brains are incredibly sensitive to electrical potentials. Virtually everything they do is related to controlling, holding, channeling and modifying electric potentials across different sections. This i...

And you'll be the judge of that? A guy who flatly accuses a stranger of lying when they talk about their colourblindness? Give me a break.

Kid, let me tip you off on something you don't seem to have realised.

There's about 500 threads of your inane, pointless comments out there already. Plenty of place for you to while away your time upchucking online. Go away, please? The adults would like to have a conversation.

You really are a colossal waste of time, kid.

I guess I'm the idiot for indulging you. The floor is yours.

You seem to forget that as someone who doesn't play nicely himself, you don't really have the right to demand that. However, in the interest of some actual debate, sure. Tell me, oh wise and great wyman. Why is my post absent of all "subsistence"? (and AKA means Also Known As. Which meant,...

AKA "My bluff just got called, and I gotta get out of here with what's left of my dignity..."

Whatever, dude. Put up or shut up.

Right, so meaningless interruptions out of the way...

@Slow Thinker: was it just green and brown? Like, if you opened a box of colour pencils - say red, green, blue, yellow, white, black, brown and orange, how many different colours would you have seen?

"But there really was no substance to it. If you want me to I'll will look again and tell you why I think that was no subsistence to it." Please. Enlighten me. (And slow down with your typing. Your grammar and spellings are pretty crap at the best of times, this anxiety to get the next sni...

You know you sound illiterate, right? I suppose it's an improvement from pompous halfwit, but it's kinda marginal. Come back when you have something worthwhile.

Do you even think about the things you say, or is it always the first cliche that leaps to mind?

Oh lord. Alright, kid. I'm sorry I made you look like an idiot. I really did come here to have a semi-serious discussion of the philosophy of the mind. I shouldn't have gotten into a "who's the bigger pompous ass" battle with you. You're clearly superior to me. Now will you stop this mindl...
