To think of a human like a machine is to become like the machines. I think you are young. I hope you grow out of that state of mind.

Brave New World style, love it!!! But seriously, that is not what art is. Art is not created automatically by a machine. We can program a 3d printer to spit out an exact copy of the veiled virgin, but will we find it as beautiful? Certainly

I think the most important thing a parent can do for a child is develop a strong bond of trust. Be consistent in what you say and do and be honest about any questions they ask. If you're going to make a rule, stick to it, but also show

If I was born just five or so years later, I'd be that guy's kid. My mother didn't know how to discipline me. She would try and then I would convince her to give up. She never put any controls on anything I did-- consequently

This doc definitely gave me the heebie jeebies. But I don't think the point is necessarily to go deeper into these problems. Most will watch this and finally gain the intuitive sense of how intertwined intelligent machines are in our l

Because without intelligent computers, the world we've built for ourselves would just... stop working. They have brought us medical advancements not possible 20 years ago. So we would pull the plug and kill many people. Not only that,

Christianity has always been a political tool. I'm not saying that religion in general is incorrect or that it cannot exist outside of political use in a genuine way-- only that Christianity in particular has always been used in that w

I agree. The author did not even bother to make their point clear (something something aesthetics something virtual illusions something personality), did not even bother to speculate as much as they hinted they might. Shame.

I think this is a good thing. We all know models are heavily photoshopped and overlaid with CGI. But we also cannot separate that from the real person, even though the image isn't real. If this catches on in fashion I feel a weight can

This is a good point, and I'm glad you explained it so well because it's something I haven't given much thought to. I do yoga and exercise to maintain my muscular system and ligaments, and eat well to maintain my bones and or

Not really. I use my sense of self every day. So do you.
224.
by creep 9y ago
Okay, but as you can see from my first post, I agreed with you (opinion, not fact) that the self is an illusion. What are you trying to say, exactly? It seems you are trying to argue with me but haven't found anything concrete to latch

Very interesting, thank you! I've actually been wondering about this sort of idea of teaching math.

by creep 9y ago
I'm also not trying to claim anything as fact.
227.
by creep 9y ago
But that's exactly the thing: if I were claiming anything it would be that the mind is chaotic. But to arrive at that, like you said, I must use processes of rationality. That doesn't mean the mind isn't chaotic, and it actua

by creep 9y ago
That makes sense too, and can also be argued for or against!

Did you know that stress and anxiety increase your risk of heart disease significantly? 1 - http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/HealthyLiving/StressManagement... . 2 - http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc

Haha, what kind of evidence do you think exists on such a topic?
231.
by creep 9y ago
I think you are simply presenting another theory of mind that doesn't really answer the user's question. We don't know that there isn't a real self, but we do know that the way we perceive ourselves is illusive.
232.
by creep 9y ago
In response to your edit: Yes, exactly. That is the chaotic aspect. You can't really define anything but you can define everything. It's paradoxical. Whatever. We still need the illusory aspects. Without such discussion we would n

It's based on uncertainty of perception. We build a model of ourselves, just as we do with the real world (including scientifically) but this model will never exactly specify the real world. We can come quite close, but we can't

You've probably heard of the concept of ego. The idea is that the ego reacts to thoughts and observes itself and thinks it is the self, but beneath the ego is the true self-- whatever it may be. So the ego in this case would be a tool.

by creep 9y ago
Interesting thought. Should we stop arguing about the universe as well?
236.
by creep 9y ago
But on that note, do you think the mind can be defined? I'd be interested to see if you could do it "objectively".

by creep 9y ago
I'm not trying to make an argument.

I found this article quite annoying. The author seems to be evaluating mind on whether or not it is rational, and taking reason as motivator for depth in the sense that there should always be reasons for our actions and beliefs. Of course t

Lol maybe you should start wearing a gas mask on the regular too? There are a lot of harmful chemicals in the air. Especially if you're on the road a lot biking.

For some reason I've always looked at friendship relationships as primarily creative. I don't like to be with people unless there is chemistry for a good conversation that changes our perspectives or adds dimension, or if we are w
