I disagree with that. Just because the two people have different emotions while, say, parachuting out of a plane, they still have the same concept that it is a dangerous task. There are many things...

So then your theory is arbitrary.

You can get personal. I don't wear my feelings on a sleeve.(most of the time)

Let me put it another way. There is no proof that emotions are two part-a concept and a sympathetic response-[ a...

Based on my experiences and observations, that's on accurate.

Nope. That's a physical experience and action. You've already stated in the knowledge thread that emotions are creations of the mind that are given definitions once we learned words to relate that...

Now you're just dealing in semantics which is the problem with philosophy. Philosophers create terms to put human definitions on things that are not human. What is time but a word of when when is,...

From my experience, that is totally false. First, the Peikoff experiment is a terrible example. Of course the students experienced what they did because they had had experiences before with "pop"...

So are you saying that there is scientific proof that something did exist before the big bang or are you saying that there are only theories that make more sense to you than the belief that...

I don't think you're understanding my question. How do we know that that's the response to have? Why would we have a fight or flight response if we've never had the need for it because we've never...

I have a question if you won't mind answering it for me. I know this belongs in the knowledge thread, and in fact may have been addressed in it, and I may have missed the explanation when I read...

Yeah, I know it belongs in the kowledge thread, but as stated before, I really don't have the time to delve into that whole debate, and I really wasn't trying to get into the debate here, either,...

I guess where I have a problem with this definition of truth is that it seems truth is relative to the individual. I mean, if I haven't experienced something that someone proclaims as a truth then I...

Do I understand correctly that the idea of "truth" implicitly recognizes that someONE is able to determine that a proposition comports with reality instead of EVERYone having to determine that a...

Okay, clarify for me please, what you mean when you say arbitrary. I have an idea, but don't want to assume. Once again, I ask for your patience as I'm juggling this thread with Hannah Montana and...

Nope, not going to criticize our ability to perceive. Actually, you'll have to be patient with me because I don't tend to think out my thoughts too far, so I tend to write in a stream of...

Okay. Now let me see if I get this straight. I've taken a part from the first post of this thread as follows:



So, am I understanding correctly when I say that something can be said to...

Okay, thanks for that clarification. I actually took the time to read back to see if something I was about to ask had already been addressed, and as far as I can tell it hasn't. It has to do with...

Well, while we may not know if there was an initial choice between existence and non-existence, we certainly know that there is a choice between existence and non-existence. If you choose to...

Maybe you can type more slowly so I can understand better because I'm kind of slow, but I don't understand some things. For instance, if existence just simply is, then what's the purpose of it? I...

Well, I don't understand why I should value someone else regardless of whether he values himself or not.

I'm sure it was addressed on here, but can you point me to where the purpose of existing was addressed in this discussion? I really haven't been following too closely and haven't the time to read...

Hey huss, I didn't realize that randerizer was taking care of you.
