Materialism (championed by Darwinists) makes reason Impossible.

I liked devnull's answer better. Does this mean I get an 'F' for philosophy?

No, 'F' is for 'Filosofy'

 

[Akhenaten]

No, 'F' is for 'Filosofy'

Actually, that sounds exactly like something I'd be involved in.

From now on I'm going to refer to myself 'The Filosofical Faraoh'

This idea of truths is interesting, there is evidence of truth out there.
Also the why's which Akhenaten describes as meaningless human artefacts, is there any evidence of why's, or truths?




Curiously the two most fundamental principles in in mysticism are truth and purpose(why's).

A swing and a miss I'm afraid, punshhh . . .

Human intelligence is working along the same Darwinian principle as is the biosphere in general. That is basically why biosphere's workings appear 'intelligent'. A closer look at our intelligence reveals that the process with which it functions is not intelligent at all. The result is.

Human feelings have been treated like avoidable artefacts even in neurosciences. This is changing now. It is impossible to model the human mentation if feelings are not taken to account.

Throughout the animal kingdom we can observe emotional states.
Attraction and avoidance. Calm or excitement.
We cannot explain animal behavior without emotions.

Feelings are emotions that have become available to our consciousness. They govern our whys. Calling them artefacts is a type II error. (Accepting a null hypothesis when it is false)
Not artefacts.

You misinterpreted what I said, or made a strawman. Whatever.

I never said that emotions are meaningless artefacts, I said that "why are we here?" "has life a meaning?" and "what is the goal of having humans in the universe?" are all meaningless artefacts of human nature.

So , no, no type II error. It is not as if somebody had any evidence of "why" are humans here, as in "What's the goal" (besides spreading their DNA).

Aepervius is the smart one; I can't even spell "meaningless human artefacts".

Ah, ok; that would have clearer if you'd quoted the point that you were replying to.

And that would have been clearer if I'd said, "That would have been clearer...".

This filosofy stuph is really hard, I reckon. I wish DOC would come back and help us out with it.

The problem is, if we're right about materialism being the correct explanation, and he's right about materialism making reason impossible, then he can't. Or something.

Don't do it : it will be phiasco.

I think we're long overdue for this:

Well he said that mysticisms' principles are truth and purpose, not accuracy.


BTW thanks for the good word on 15,000 posts. At one post a minute that's 250 hours or 6.25 forty hour weeks.

Mmm kidneys.

Drool.

Everyone is treating it like a riddle.

For context, Falkowski said there are no truths. I gave an example of what I regarded as a true statement. If Falkowski is right then it cannot be a true statement. I asked why it was not true.

My answer is that truth is only verifiable through reference to external referents.

Um , no.

Your teachers have failed you.

As long as it is wrapped in phyllo "Phyllo wrapped Filosophy Phiasco"

No,more like ignorance and fantasizing.

We wuld have to discuss the deeper meaning of "F". On one hand it could mean a failing grade in some systems or it could just be a letter of the alphabet. I favor the Edfreudian theory that states that it represents your repressed sexuality and indicates that you often foricate whith dingos. Not that I'm saying you ever did but do you dream of dingos? I myself, of course care nothing abut your dingo obsession but scenes of diddling dingos somehow fill my mind.

Excuse me while I call my dog.

Hey, I resent that remark! I do not pound on the keyboard, my fingers caress the keys as I gracefully touch type my pearls of idiocy.



Oh, and, um, thanks! Same to you.
