Re: What is Logic?
Logic is simply the act of identifying, or concluding what the causes are of a particular phenomena. The particular phenomenon in question might be the 'mortality of Socrates' There are innumerable factors causing Socrates mortality, but just to name one, Socrates mortality is caused by being a man...

Re: Forget about Enlightenment
I'm not sure just from the face, I need to feel the bumps on their head and examine the whorls on their palms. Next most important is the kink of their hair and color of their eyes and skin. Mengele would do no less. And while we're at it, we can judge books by their covers and posters by their avat...

Re: Never will you be wise or enlightened
Well, that was a spirited exchange.
How refreshing.
Perhaps someday the potato will just be eaten
instead of arguing abot whether it is a potayto or a potahto.
Perhaps Not.
No, definitely Not.

Re: Forget about Enlightenment
Forget about forgetting.
And forget about forgetting to forget.
The MO in this group is to beat the dead horse until
the futility is realized. Enough dead horses, and only
realization remains.
It is an appropriate path for western minds.
And fun, too.

Re: Creation of a true artificial intelligence?
Why restrict intelligence to the brain? The brain is a nexus of connections for the whole body, it is not separate. Intelligence is not located anywhere. Neurons have dendritic connections and microtubules that decidedly do not imply a digital nature. The problem with analogies to our knowledge of n...

Re: I've found the sentience machine.
Greetings, A few thoughts: 1) Is there a better word than machine for the concept? Machines are an arifact, whereas you are talking about universal structure. The machine concept is much too limited for such a grand role in the Universe, and brings to mind the clockwork imagery resulting from Newton...

There's nothing I enjoy more than Cosmic gossip, This thread is precisely the thought behind Sartre's Being and Nothingness. The thread introduction parallels closely Sartre's statement of the issue. Sarte in a nutshell: 1) "is" is transitive 2) Consciousness is not what it is and is what ...
