This idiot is an alien. He has no connection with his soul .. the only thing that never dies. Well .. that once was true, souls are burning out at a rapid speed.

2018-11-09 at 12:08 PM UTC in Sam Harris on the Illusion of Free Will
Originally posted by PhD in Condom Mechanics It is fine if you want to say agency instead of will, but that's not the argument you've been making at all: the issue you've taken is with the word "free" not being applicable if there is any antecedent cause to an action. You need to justify why that is, because I'm perfectly happy to say that that sense of the word free is just stupid, we can both agree, and you're making a rather pointless and completely semantic argument
The point of repeating the "essay like responses" is to show that you can't articulate why the spoopy ghost is integral to your meaning of free will, other than it being part of the "common understanding" of the term, which is not even remotely close to being true; every single person was raised by a couple parents/guardians who probably have full awareness that the upbringing they're providing is going to shape their child. So what else?
No, see, this is the point: Sam Harris is unnecessarily joining the concept of ultimate self causation to free will.
When I say "you signed the contract of your own free will", no part of my statement necessarily implies that you are an ultimate causal engine.
Right, but I think most people do feel that they are ultimate cause of their intentions and decisions. I don't need you to agree. I don't believe most people associate their thought intentions and actions with the chain of cause and effect that came before, they feel like it's something they are in absolute control over, and when their bodies do something unexpected like sudden organ failure they feel like victims of their biology rather then the bosses, even though there isn't really a difference.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-09-09 at 5:35 PM UTC in The Odroid GoI recently purchased an Odroid Go for $32. An Odroid Go is a DIY portable handheld game console/emulator that plays NES, Gameboy, Gameboy Colour, Sega Gamegear and Master system as well as Colecovision if you update the firmware to the latest version.
Putting the device together is fun, easy and doesn't take very long. You can also buy replacement parts if you were to break something. There is no soldering required, all the parts simply plug into place. An SD card is required and is not included in the kit.
The screen is excellent quality. The shell feels like good quality, the buttons feels great. The battery life is great, lasts me days with the amount I use it, have heard that it will last average of 6+ hours of constant usage with low volume and normal backlight setting.
The sound quality is not the greatest at higher volume but is absolutely fine at low volume. There is no headphone jack but the device is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capable - these are currently not utilized but future updates maybe possible to use Bluetooth headphones with the odroid go. Currently I have seem one person who is selling headphone jacks that plug into the 10-pin port on the top of the device for about $15 online.
I recommend this device for anyone interested in portable classic gameing.

2018-10-23 at 10:54 AM UTC in How do I claw my way our of the epistemological void I find myself in?A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.
Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by AL-LADdin That's what I'm saying: you fit into the system anyhow.
Who said anything about truth? Stop moving the goalposts. Religious beliefs are real. Just like money.
No such thing
See above. What you believe morally, or truth, are irrelevant for there to be a way you ought to behave. There is only self interest. If you don't want to go to forfeit your right to life for example, you don't murder. It doesn't have to be any more complicated than basic self interest.
Again, you are retarded: what do you think something's "real" value is? If you ask for a million dollars for it and someone pays it, do you think it's not "really" worth $1m? Or is it not "really" valuable because dollars are an illusion?
In which case, are you prepared to give all your money away. I mean, it's an illusion right?
Following your logic, there must be an infinite amount of "systems" we all fit into, like the ooogawooga system. That might not mean anything at all to you, but according to your logic it must exist because someone somewhere imagines it exists.
I haven't moved any goal posts you idiot. I've been talking about truth this entire time. I never claimed moral beliefs don't exist... only that they are imaginary, exactly like religious beliefs. Throughout this entire thread I have been consistent on my claim that a person's morality is their sense of what is right and what is wrong... but what they feel is right or wrong is not objective, it's imagined.
A Christian person has Christian morality. A psychopath has psychopathic morality. Whatever a person believes is right or wrong is their opinion or belief or imagination, not objective, not a truth.
Of course every goal has a way of being achieved that is better or more efficient or whatever than other ways. Of you want to win a race it's probably better to train than to sit around and watch TV. But there are no objective goals. There is nothing we should be doing. There is no way things are supposed to be, there is only how things are and how thing are not.
Value is subjective, like right or wrong. There is no "real" value, just like there is no "real" right or wrong.
Of course I wouldnt give all my money away, just like I wouldn't do things I consider to be wrong. That doesn't mean I believe the things I consider to be wrong are inherently or objectively wrong.
Why are you even arguing with me? Do you actually disagree with anything I am saying?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by AL-LADdin The problem is everyone else has agreed they will give up murder for the right to not be murdered, and now they have a person who does not respect that agreement in their society, and has breached it. So you don't get that protection: they can do whatever they want to you, because everything up to murdering you is less restrictive of your rights.
Nobody actually agreed to anything, and even if there were to do so they are not actually protected from any harm at all. People can do whatever they want to you, because morals and laws and "social contracts" are completely imaginary.
Originally posted by AL-LADdin Like I said, I don't consider animals to be worthy of full moral consideration under my system: they don't give a fuck about the social contract, they will kill and eat you regardless of your moral position as a matter of convenience.
Some people don't consider other people to be worthy of moral consideration, either. Because morality isn't something they think about or care about. They are able to do this because morality is a concept that only exists in the minds of those who imagine it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-09-27 at 9:18 PM UTC in We have a moral obligation to stop eating meatHis "moral statements" may be logically consistent within the moral framework he has chosen to adhere to, but they are not statements of truth because they are not statements about how the world really is or how it really isn't. Nobody has any obligation to recognize or accept someone's moral framework or their conclusions.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
