Be warned, it is very dense material.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

yep,

IQ is one way non-genius conceives genius.

I'm not a kind of genius who sorts genius into kinds.

kind of, sort of,

AI is the same problem as defining genius, or any non-thing else, for that spirit.

Well, It would seem the oper...

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 ...

is GOD can create GOD ??? can it be done ???

The answer to your question is to un-ask it.

When did you stop beating your wife?
Are you not confused?
Yes?
No?

The answers you receive will be observations on linguistics and semantics, not God.

I have spent 30 years studying Physics, and Quantum Physics.

From a purely physical POV, Buckminster Fuller presented very similar observations.
You might find his writing interesting.

David Quinn on Wed Oct 31, 2007 12:19 am Put simply, genius is consciousness. The greater the consciousness, the greater the genius. What an auspicious Halloween! David has formulated a sentence with which I agree without reservation. Unidian on Wed Oct 31, 2007 1:07 am But then you have to define &...

Greetings,

You have stated a fundamental insight.

Language is the non-existent finger pointing to the moon.

You can't put a gallon of water in a quart jar.

Greetings,

Take a gander at "The Secret Doctrine", Blavatsky, 1888.

Greetings,

I suggest substituting all terms with "wisdom" since ultimately, that is
their only possible reference.

er, that is:

Wisdom wisdom wisdom wisdom wisdom wisdom "wisdom" wisdom wisdom, wisdom wisdom
wisdom wisdom wisdom wisdom.

Marklar,

Congratulations,

You have discovered yourself.

Now try not to put yourself in a box, or a hexagon.

I'll be checking in from time to time.

SasQ: One doesn't need to build a house to find shelter. Leather and wood tents served Native Americans for thousands of years. I agree. I'm reading a book right now about a movement of homesteaders in Maine. There was a guy who would travel from farm to farm in the U.S. living in a Teepee that he ...
