Nothing happens by random. Something is what it is and can be identified -- Axiom. Without we could not have logic, everything would be chaos and happen without cause.
I'm a determinist, and although I find the things you mention
non sequitur, then I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it, as I more or less stopped carrying about what you think several posts ago.
That was not his view in discussions with Jiddu Krishnamurti.
I suspect peace-loving Bohm to have lost his good mind after some of his work was made classified and used by the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb. And furthermore after he was prosecuted by the Un-American Activities Commitee, fired from his position and eventually running off to Brazil.
You should join the million dollar prize since someone made you type.
Determinism is not "someone".
People are there every night. Some wakes up being in a dreampool, and sometimes takes over the dream, acting by free will without the observable changing. Some can fly, and some fly straight up ending in the Astral world out of the preprogrammed dreampool.
Yea, Peter Pan and Superman, and people dreaming or hallucinating. That's not evidence of anything else than just that.
Almost 1/3 of the world population will without having attempted to do so experience the different Astral planes and having OBE's, and some will wake up in a paralized body with seeing things that shouldn't be there. There are many free examples of how to achieve OBE and Astral visiting.
OBEs is not evidence of a soul or astral planes either, in dreams people often mix experienced events, like when you make a pegasus out of a horse and the wings of a bird. Human brains are good at that. And if you wake up paralized or non-paralized and see things that are not there, then it is because your brain is mixing reality with dreams. This is not evidence of astral worlds in any manner.
All sceptics just arrogantly ignores this and claims there are no proof. It is like saying I can never drive a car because I won't try.
Skeptics will usually remain doubtful untill evidence of extraordinary claims are produced. If a mind is too open, then it serves as an invitation for charlatans, hustlers and quacks to fill it with garbage.
Your statement your burden of evidence.
The only "evidence" you have offered to suggest animals have no experience of pain, is that they don't scream like humans. The burden is still yours because all parts of it are but childish and ignorant claims.
Humans and animals share the same mechanism of feeling pain, and the few times I have stepped on some of my cats by accident they have certainly screamed. But of course, all this takes place in a strange and distant dimension called the real world.
Did I say one should? I said it is not called murder which you... ignored.
I don't care what you call killing an animal, it doesn't change what you do.
You have still not counter-argued.
I have been as generous as to explain it with simple examples and in simple terms for you above, although the burden of evidence still is yours.
The last resort is use of violence. Get rid of those who can unmask the psychopaths hiding behind their evil etical non-existent world. They will at anytime sacrifice innocents behind their double standards.
Yes, skeptics are pretty evil psychopaths who always resort to violence in lack of proper arguments. And we just love to sacrifice the innocent. And I'm done with you.
