Albert einstein, Christopher Hitchens and Hannah Arendt were all American citizens.

If they’re using gender ideology against democracy then maybe it’s time we allow reality to kick in and stop promoting gender ideology nonsense that it in itself is completely lacking in scientific Merit.

I’ve watched footage of a meerkat mother comforting her grown daughter as she was dying and she wouldn’t leave until the daughter had passed. Why do you say meerkats have no morality?

Good summary.

such a great understanding of this world around us

Two people can keep a secret but only if one of them is dead.

Rhetoric makes the facts. Few bother to fact check what they find convincing and most are easily convinced that they are right.

Seriously? This is just a reinvention of the work hard and you’ll win.

Nice, 2 individuals who refuse to admit when they’re wrong, talking about how bad it is when people refuse to admit when their wrong. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank you so much for this.

Brutal. You know.

another very interesting conversation

Ok, so Ukraine was about to invade Russia. Also Ukraine is not respecting the people’s republics of Donbas and Krimea. Russia would never invade Europe and they never have. The America lies and Russia is speaking the truth. I suggest Mr. Stone moves to Russia, lives there, continues his work as a filmmaker, gets paid there, reads newspapers there, watches TV there, raises his kids there, has his sons join the Russian military and goes to hospital there when he’s ill. Wow is he deluded.

Great Interview! Only the idea that life can’t be a simulation as the brain is extremely parallel and structurally different from transistors is not convincing at all. Why shouldn’t it be doable to simulate parallel, slow wetware in super fast silicone?

Consciousness, the useful platform that integrates past experiences, present feelings and cognition in order to imagine your avatar in the future. You’re telling your story so you can imagine your future. It’s obvious how this helps you to survive, especially in a very complex social environment. So consciousness is forged and held up by evolution. But why does it feel like something to be someone? That is just nature’s way to blend cognition with emotion.

Non-shared family environment, interesting idea. If that’s a thing, it’ll be mostly random: eg older sibling gifted in athletics or maths. Environment, sorry to tell you, defenders of this lost cause, is only the random noise that shakes the peas on the sieve.

i had to finally stop when the conversation started to be about baseball. it is sad when philosophers have to argue about baseball rules to illustrate their points about moral responsibility and retributivism. the cheating husband example was also simplistic. please discuss real matters

Wow, Suzanne, govt violations of free speech bad, C16 is good? Cognitive dissonance

The recent hubbub about UFOs is about the weaponization of space.

Rumors in Trumpland said they planned on using ANTIFA tactics because they have nothing else to lose.. I put much of the blame on the media for constantly gas lighting. Just the BLM riots and the Capital riots. If you do not see this with your intellect then you are part of the problem.
