GENIUS FORUMS

Robert: You made some good points. As with many readers-writers here at the forum, there is not sufficient mastery of a more detailed awareness of how we acquired over a 280,000 year period our mental capacities as upper ape primates. Nor is there sufficient understanding of the developmental stages...

Ataraxia: Thanks for the info. I see the formidable erudition of Biochemistry has made itself felt in semantic terms drifting. How molecular protein receptors and substrates 'identify' each other (their crude perception system). Maybe that was why such a fuss was made on one site here about the simp...

Tomas: When you ask a question, stand away from it for awhile. Observe physicality: up-down, left-right, inside-outside. Our sensorium detects things in our world; but there are many things it did not detect (actually, most things). It required measurement technology and tools to enhance our crude A...

Blackfire and David: I find you two actually wish to use language as a tool to elucidate thought, not to obfuscate it behind rhetorical-psychological flourishes. The act of thinking must be rooted in sharp, crisp metaphors, if we are to engender thinking. A simple recent example I came across is: Di...

Does 'existence' precede 'consciousness' or does C precede E? This is a false question. Consciousness is the eruption of brain, body, world tri-intersectional space (nexus of these three regions in a unitary space). What consciousness actual is or what induces it---we have no idea! Professor Alva No...

This sloppy question is devoid of sense. The adverb 'ever' is otiose or meaningless. If one wants 'certitude' in reasoning, which means 'correctness', appeal to a truth table. There is some emotional content behind reasoning. Self-conscious Reason is merely the capacity to entertain in the mind pola...

The notion of *godhood is incoherent. The first falsity in the mind is that there is 'something' superior to our vulgar, common *consciousness as upper ape primates. It took us from approximately 280,000 to 30,000 years ago to make that dramatic shift from animality to savagery in Southern Africa (b...
