Yeah, yeah yeah... — Wheatley

No, no, nooooo... :heart:

I have to read firstly a few times to digest your comment. The brain-machinery inside me, my body, doesn't yet fully comprehend... ☺

Pain and itch are sensations, not feelings! Feelings refer to emotions! — Alkis Piskas

Well, my brain gives me emotions too! Im feeling good vibes right now. A gift from the brain inside. A massively parallel neuron concert that plays for me. ☺

So you’re chasing after more freedom? Would you agree that it’s connected with the awareness of Truth, of Reality, and happiness? — leo

I truly feel I have found a truth! As if the universe and the gods have revealed themsekves. Im truly feeling free. I dont care what others think of me anymore. I love and can speak with anyone! No shame. It feels great. No, I dont have "a psychosis" or whatever psycho label. Though I had my share of depression. Brrrrr... ☺

It's like saying oceans are drops of water so what does a marine ecologist do? — Bylaw

Nice one! ☺ Machines can be Natural too. L'homme machine.

How fast is the banana ripening at any one time? — Gary M Washburn

You have to take the limit between two times for that. But there are limits.

The issue with dogs is considering them machines but not considering humans as machines. There was a hard line in science, even, with mammals as machines but not humans. Then it started to erode in the 70s. Even words can be, if one wanted, seen to be forms created by biochemical machinery, products of machines. — Bylaw

"We all, animals and people, are just machines serving our genes and memes. Who are selfish."

Luckily there is Lamarck!

Oh, look! A stupid game. — Wheatley

With one stupid rule: repeat and add. You can make a computer program for it!

A stupid reaction! — Wheatley

A stupid reaction to a stupid reaction! :grin:

Roughly, everyone except you. — Srap Tasmaner

:grin:

This thread is stupid... — Wheatley

A stupid fact.

I don't think so. He was a brute alright, but not an idiot — Olivier5

My exact words! ☺

I have found my own philosophy. It sets you FREE!

Trump being King of Stupid — Wayfarer

I can't agree more!

Yes, if all parties are ok with it, have a threesome.. I reckon it's at this point the analogy breaks down. :grin: — TheMadFool

How is this done? How is your brain giving you ideas and feelins? Can you give me one or two examples? — Alkis Piskas

It makes my body feel pain or an itch. It gives me fantasies about quantum fields and curved spacetime. I can litterally see with the eyes turned inward.

Where does "too" refer to? — Alkis Piskas

To seeing the brain on a scan.

Due deference to the thread title, Mussolini was actually pretty stupid, wasn’t he? — Wayfarer

What? How do you dare to criticize my duce! Non e stato stupido! He was just insane.

Which suggests that the self transcends the physical body in being able to create and maintain a sense of continuous existence, while the body itself is subject to constant change. — Wayfarer

The self is the body (but without the brain).

Sorry for the expletive. — Olivier5

I love it! Don't feel sorry! ☺

I found a Marxist defense of complementarity by him when I googled his name and Bohr. — Bylaw

A Marxistic defense? What has Marxism to do with complementarity? Is the revolution complemented by "das Kapital"?

That is related to the issue of the unity of subjective experience — Wayfarer

No. It's related to the simple fact that replaced cells are almost identical to the new cells. The telomeres in the DNA of the new ones are a bit shorter.

Yes it bloody is. — Olivier5

:heart:

Damn right! Choose Mussolini next time! — Wheatley

Mussolini turned from anarchist to socialist to fascist, which was a very progressive futuristic movement. He was a big black rooster with hen attitudes.

Anyway, good to know about Mike Godwin, he seems an ultra-cool dude. :cool: — Wayfarer

His name doesn't testify to this. :smile:

The complementarity principle is just that one object may possess pairs of properties such that only one but not both can be observed/measured at a time — TheMadFool

How you wanna measure velocity at one time?

If it is not part of your body --which is not true, because you can see it yourself in a brain scan (MRI/MRS)-- then where do you think it is part of? — Alkis Piskas

I can see the physical world too. But I don't consider it as a part of me. I interact with the world outside and that of my brain. Both interact with me too. They form each other. My brain is not an essential part of me. It serves to give me ideas and feelings and thoughts. To make me live!
