A Philosophy of Mind

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

That'll be because like you the Greeks liked them young and tight.
This is slander a_uk! Slander!!!

Me, ponziq, never heard of enemas? This is slander a_uk! Slander!!!

The heterosexual men you had sex with might not be as heterosexual as you think. I mean there they are inserting their peepees in another man's dirty dirty anoose saying how they are heterosexual and love the smell of poo. Something doesn't make sense.

Finally, why the question mark at the end?

A wise person speaks with authority when it is their own life.
I borrow all that is best in philosophy and I do not want to error. All vainness flees my mind to bring about the realization of philosophy. Ignorance indolence and sentimentalism suffer at the hands of philosophy. It is through sacrificing and striving for a better life than that of those who hunger after self-advantages.
At last clarification!
I'll be honest I have been put off reading your posts.
I have lots to learn about academic writing and self expression, we all do.
My regular writing and reading habits make it easier to express myself and know what I want to speak about.
So all I have is the fear of VOICE and BEING (Heidegger?)
I think you need help to express yourself better. Maybe you are an Idealist? I must say Philosophy seems awfully dark maybe that accounts for the content of your posts?
I would rely on Utopian philosophy (Thomas More on Utopia) to frame my utopian ideals. Maybe a similar approach might be helpful?
god bless

Fair enough so you agree that anal sex may not 'smell'?
The heterosexual men you had sex with might not be as heterosexual as you think. I mean there they are inserting their peepees in another man's dirty dirty anoose saying how they are heterosexual and love the smell of poo. Something doesn't make sense.
Not really, as the only 'hetrosexual' males that I've met who think this way are those whose 'sexuality' is based upon denying what they do. Hence they are generally those who do not take any hygenic precautions in their actions.

amateurphilosophynerd,

Socrates believed that when philosophy, political greatness and wisdom meet in one city we would have rest from tribulations. In the first place, philosophy demands not superficial but profound eternal thought and exalted in truth, justice, courage, and temperance. The philosopher may be a lover not of part wisdom but of the whole, and those who have a taste for every sort of knowledge and who is curious to learn and is never satisfied, may be justly termed a philosopher.

No, because it is exactly the impression that anyone who has understood a German Idealist would recognise in someone who has read them and the language they would use in explaining their experience of their understanding.

Are you completely mad ? Are you seriously trying to tell educated people that this disjointed drivel is the work reflects any serious philosopher?


Your 'anger' is that you disagree with her conclusions and you're 'angry' that someone would then 'commit' their life to explicating their 'path' in a way that you fundamentally disagree with.

This is unreal ; "explicating their path " The woman is stark raving mad you fool and her words are meaningless drivel.

This is not to say that I do not fundamentally disagree with BB's conclusions but that your approach to counter her is fundamentally flawed in this respect.

Because you don't have the intelligence to perceive that what she writes is the spawn of a confused mind you cannot see that you are fundamentally flawed in any respect.

Cooeee MrArising would you assess my paper for my Cambridge philosophy exam ?

It is based on Hegel; here goes :

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you p**** a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard

And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you

Yes, thats exactly what I'm saying. BB has obviously read and interpreted Hegels works. The fact that you do not comprehend this is to your detriment.
Because you don't have the intelligence to perceive that what she writes is the spawn of a confused mind you cannot see that you are fundamentally flawed in any respect.
That's your fantasy, as you have no understanding that I'm not 'flawed' in your respect but you are completely confused about what it is to be a Human being.

Babbling Brooks,

I love that tune and appreciate your version. The problem is that you have is you have no tune of your own.

So what schitzoid personality is this then :

Why do you write in the style you do when imparting your philosophy?

When you are 'upset' you appear to become literate but when doing your philosophy you come across as slightly 'odd' as you will not use English correctly. Why do you do this? If you have read and re-written as much of Hegels work as you say and you wish to impart your insights, doing it in incomprehensible English is not the way to go. Why? Because in English if you cannot say it clearly then it is probably nonsense.
Arising to Barbara Brooks.


And while you are at it ,what authority do you have to say that it is Hegel she is mimicing ? You don't know jack shit about Hegel.

Just show everyone here where the relationship is.
You are thick as pig shit that is why Lewis booted your ass off the site as a mod.
Now he is stuck with you again because no other LOSER is up for the pathetic job.

OOOh MrArising I love that phrase because it is so Barbara
" The problem is that you have is you have no tune of your own."
love it,love it,love it.

I would have written it as "The problem is that you have no tune of your own" but then I am not an expert on writing like Hegel.

Many maimed and disfigured by their meanness are attracted to philosophy. But while philosophy is in this foul case, still there remains a dignity about it.

In heaven there is laid up a blueprint of philosophy, I think, which those who desire may behold, and beholding, may set their own house in order. But whether such an one exists, or ever will exist in fact, is no matter; for I will live after the manner of that city, having nothing to do with any other.

Reject these imitative poets they certainly ought not to be here; as I see it more clearly now they cannot understand trute being but only some semblance of being; and we can hardly be supposed they speak the truth.

Barbara you are ripping off Plato's republic again !
You mix in Plato with your own garbled prose.

But I am informed that Rick Lewis is deleting accounts that
contradict you. All the posters here: Gislan, Elf Aboran Loran, Peter Jackson and more have been blocked by Lewis.

Lewis is the anti christ of philosophy.

I borrow all that is best in philosophy that enumerates anything, which gives to the idea, which fall under truth. Where else am I going to get this idea? Socrates is the midwife of philosophy. I cannot make up a new philosophy or will I allow myself to be overwhelmed by the foolish jeering.

The philosophical mind is always seeking knowledge a kind that shows truth not varying from generation and corruption. I am absorbed in knowledge of true philosophy.

If you borrow work from other writers you are supposed to put the phrase in parenthesis or refer to it such as : "as Plato wrote in the Republic"

What you are doing is plagiarizing the ideas of others and allowing
the material to be attributed to yourself.

You have no philosophy at all. Not one solid idea.
If I asked you what the meaning of life is you would not know how to answer. You would waffle on with scattered words as if you were sowing wild flowers in a victorian garden. It just does not matter where the seeds land because the planting scheme idea is erratic and formless.

You are deluded and wasting your life ; it is not entertainment but obsession.
The worst fate anyone can have in life is to fall prey to delusions
of grandeur.

You are not a philosopher after Hegel or Plato ; you are Barbara Brooks who no one in the world of serious philosophy considers to be
of any merit.

Look in the mirror - get a life and stop this eternal foolishness with the idea that you are a gifted thinker.

You know Hegel branched off of Kant, Aristotle branched off of Plato, and Spinoza branched off of Socrates I think. Actually, Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit the very first words he wrote were very much the words of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. This is philosophy I have never said these are my thoughts. I am just trying to figure philosophy out, for myself and anyone else on the same road that wants to read it.
