Ahh... that's a good point! Yes, maybe I should stop now. After all, I do have a business to run so there is only so much time I can allow mastodon to take from me.
@jeffcliff It is fascinating how long discussions can last in the field of philosophy. But that tends to happen in a field, where you have no immediate error correction in the form of empirical evidence.
Then, from time to time, the latest and greatest findings in science seep through, alter the course of the discussion in philosophy, and it then tries to integrate the new findinds.
The interplay between quantum physics and philosophy is a very interesting example for instance.

If you pay me, I can help you setup an experiment, that is repeatable that proves I exist.
Otherwise, why should I? I really do not care about you, and should the case be, that you in fact do not exist, I would be very happy indeed! 😎 ✝️ 🇮🇱
That is a lot. My 19 USD one is a luxury pizza. I can push it down to 13-14 if I go to low quality places.

Amen, and thank you for the warning!
I stopped listening to him a while ago, and now I'm just triggering him a little bit for my own pleasure.
But when god and the supernatural is questioned, people who built their identity around it always go bananas. It is sad, but very common.

Nope. See previous post. Study a bit of science and you can come back to the game.

Incorrect. No evidence exists. Go study Russells Teapot, then present me empirical evidence for your god. If not, no, it does not exist. If you do, and if it is replicated, peer reviewed, and generally accepted, I will change my mind.
That is a way more fair offer, than what you are offering.

Interesting article on the philosophy of mind!

Peer Reviewed textbooks do not count but only Peer Reviewed Journal articles because textbooks look at a history of many studies where as Peer Reviewed Journals let's you keep up with the latest fad and act like you are better than the Old Ideas that have been replicated many times

Are you mad? Clearly you have no clue about science. You provide proof for a positive claim, the burden of proof is on you.
Go back to school boy and return when you are educated.

I agree. The values of the western world is collapsing, and even such things as truth is perceived as optional or a choice. Fortunately for us, I think there won't be a cliff, just a fairly slow decline, but this has happened many times before, so is nothing unique. This is just the way the world works.

someones quality of life. For others, religion is hell, like for many moslem women.
Once we grow up as a species, we will no longer need the comfortable illusions and stories of religion, but will be able to face reality without stories.
