yes, i am, "old one".
Are we still friends?
ya; just watch your language a bit more.
Don't be insulted, this really is just fun and games, to keep one sharp, on their toes. I used to get mad, but usually only when one called me names. As long as one doesn't call me names, I'm good! You know, like idiot, moron, brain dead, etc. Pretty much I'm immune these days unless I'm not feeling so good.alpha wrote:SpheresOfBalance wrote:Are you not paying attention?alpha wrote:if you say so.

well, things like "screw you". and "stick it where the sun doesn't shine" are insults.SpheresOfBalance wrote:Don't be insulted, this really is just fun and games, to keep one sharp, on their toes.

But I resent being told what to do, usually doing quite the opposite.

that is speculative.
How could it be anything else?
Your 'explanation' of sphere's problem is not helpful.
to you.

dualism is a logical possibility; not that it's necessarily true.
We know that human activity ends when the brain is removed. We know that brain damage can cause the loss of memory and change thinking. So tell me - if thinking does not require the physical existence of the brain, how are thoughts sustained; how can we have memories, and why do these things change with changes to the physicality of the brain?
This is a complete no brainer.

Hobbes' Choice wrote:Dualism has no credibility what so ever. It is a myth born out of an assumption that an immortal and incorporeal soul is provided by god.
I'm not sure what you think you mean by "logical possibility", but dualism is not required by the facts.
"logical possibility" means that it's conceivable. it might or might not be the case, but it's possible (just like your view of no soul), nonetheless.
So what is your alternative.
The proposition that when I type on my keyboard I get characters on the screen is a speculation too. WHy you think this working speculation is somehow invalidated by the fact that it is nothing more than induction puzzles me.
So do you have a BETTER alternative?
i've provided an alternate possibility; whether or not it's "better", is irrelevant.
