    What's the problem?

    A great question... One thing and one thing only: we are concerned with fixing the external and not the internal. If people disagree with someone's actions then we make those actions illegal, but we don't offer any means for convincing people those said actions are "wrong." The difficulty...

    Google forced to accept anti-abortion advertising

    Its descrimination against a group based on religion. Its no different than discrimination against the NAACP on the basis of race. The Civil Rights Act (1964) prohibits descrimination of services based on religion, however, it does not extend that right to hateful racists, ie a group without...

    Why are you you and me me?

    What concept you believe in states there cannot be anything supernatural? Is it physicalism? : that nothing exists besides what is physically observable? If this concept exists and is fact, then it should show how there cannot be anything beyond what is physical and it should do that with...

    Why are you you and me me?

    I feel like we might find a dead end too. But it could point to something supernatural when we find that end, and thats why its so interesting to me. :2razz: We would have to do it by understanding relationships anyway. A human brain cannot have enough space/capacity to understand how each and...

    Why are you you and me me?

    Please tell me why this is a necessary conclusion. If it is necessary, that means you can prove there cannot be anything supernatural so please do so. your first question nailed it. We cannot absolutely trust our senses. I think You believe we can but we can't. Case in point the movie "the...

    Why are you you and me me?

    You are baselessly pressuming physicalism is true to make that statement. THere is no way to prove a computer that emulates the experience of seeing the color red experiences it in exactly the same way we do, or if it even "experiences" it at all. This is even as simple as baselessly saying...

    Why are you you and me me?

    Haha interesting. I have also come up with this idea before. I never have actually believed it though. I mentioned earlier that I recently discovered these non-consciousness things are technically, or not so technically, called philosophical-zombies. Epistemically we cannot know this. It sure...

    Why are you you and me me?

    No no im not saying they would share anything, they would just be identical seperate consciousnesses. The perspectives would be the same up until the point the simulated replica was created. The replica would have all of your memories because it was a replica, but then its perspective would...

    Why are you you and me me?

    Hypothetically it could be either. Like if you could scan every cell in your own brain and instantly make a simulated replica. But it would just be a copy of my consciousness, not "my" consciousness. Now here is an interesting question: would that simulation have... rights....? :spin: I...

    Why are you you and me me?

    An interesting perspective: If you found out you were a robot and not a human, would it be possible to fully understand how your consciousness works? I think simulating the consciousness as we perceive it would be possible, if we can unfold proteins by computer simulation I don't see any reason...

    Bacteria make major evolutionary shift in the lab

    We are both even more lazy than you realize. You properly did the equation with the wrong numbers and multiple sites also disagreed with you so I assumed using the correct numbers would match up with all the the websitees 140 millions odds prediction so I just assumed that would solve it. But I...

    Bacteria make major evolutionary shift in the lab

    I quoted it in my post the very first time I used it. Did you think I dishonestly just made it up? ONLY because you said please. Im getting quite sick of this lackluster effort you are giving my posts and was about to quit wasting my time. Powerball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia So...

    Bacteria make major evolutionary shift in the lab

    I strongly disagree. First the author of the experiemt stated that there were only a base number of "simple mutations" which could occur given how much coding there was in the bacteria. He said that given so many generations during the experiment each mutation must have occured several times...

    Bacteria make major evolutionary shift in the lab

    Well congradulations you found the word "trillions" in the link later in this post after I pointed it out for the third time. You clearly didn't read it. You said the word "trillion" was nowhere in the article, twice, after I posted a quote of the article in large red letters and still you said...
