  1. Or just a small change in the latest 'ism'... 😉
  2. Nope, it's more you don't understand the topic; Science is just a tool, it has an application that yield results; what you're suggesting is a monkey wrench is the only tool available in the scientific toolbox...
  3. That's not evidence of the antipode... If you want to be scientific, then you must address all of the variables, not just what you perceived to be important...
  4. So, you're looking for an IQ equivalency for computers? Hint, it doesn't really work for humans either... 😉
  5. Can you remember what it's like to be dead? "Look on my work's ye mighty and despair"
  6. What are these profound and unexpected insights? This sounds to me like a Buddha wannabee that doesn't understand the teaching and so present's a word salad, in the hope that it contains some sort of nutrition for the soul; and enough of them buy a ticket. I can provide a lot of link's from the likes of Derren Brown if that would help you...
  7. Time, and space, is the enemy of this conjecture. 🙄 Besides, I get the feeling someone is talking to themselves... 🤓
  8. Indeed, that thought struck me too... Believe me, I understand your frustration. You have a profound thought that you're unable to transfer into an understandable language but you know it's important, like waking up from a vivid dream; how am I, or a practicing scientist, supposed to prove your imagination is wrong?
  9. One day, evolution will solve it for us... 😣 Some sort of memory, with some sort of vessel.
  10. As @Phi for All and I have been trying to explain, Phi rather more patiently than me, your premise is false and therefore any conclusions you make, based on that assumption, can only be true by accident... 😉 For instance, "power corrupts, therefore absolute power corrupts absolutely"; we don't really know, not enough candidates for a significant statistical study. But I did forget yesterday and I can still dress myself, hint, the odds aren't getting bigger.
  11. I'd like to indulge your fantasy, but it might have been a dream and that would be confusing...😉
  12. If you're anywhere near Stonehouse (Gloucestershire), pop round and we can share a beer, and I can explain why your thesis lacks the clarity needed to explain anything worthwhile; just saying that I'm confused isn't a supportive argument... 😣 Epiphenomenalism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
  13. Yesterday will always affect tomorrow, it both needs you and doesn't give a shit. I understand you, you think heaven is to come, and so you ignore the heaven you're experiencing now; I'm content with now and I don't really care what you think, unless you can make a lot more sense, and actually support your argument... 🙄
  14. When you die, does your life mean nothing? When you forget, does that experience mean nothing? If so, how? Listen to George... 😉 @TheVat +1
  15. You haven't really explained anything, in either of your post's. But in answer to the topic title, how long of a memory are you talking about? And how does it relate to epistemology? For instance, I can't remember what I had for tea yesterday, bc I drank too much; but I do know how to dress myself, despite that... 😉
  16. Here we go again, watch 'the life of brian' and think...
  17. Nope, they're just patient zero, I know the UK has been infected and I've heard a few sniffles next door in Europe...🤢
  18. Thanks guy's for removing another of my assumptions... @Genady do you, or your wife, think the situation has improved over the last 30 year's?
  19. Can a homeless guy just rock up to ER and get treated, in America? Besides you're straying off the point, the difference in tech is irrelevant... The economy can't distinguish between dollars and its owners, it's more complicated, the economy needs Joe to spend everything he's got and it needs Jeff to invest, but in the case of Jeff, it needs to believe he's good for it and not just cooking the book's, like Don. But when the balance is off, there will be a reckoning...
  20. I find this offensive, you clearly didn't research my credentials, or put any thoght into your post... Knowledge is a form of information that some call data, any philosophy that doesn't include it, is a joke... So I laugh at you...
  21. How do you you differentiate between referendum and democracy, in your fantasy political league???
  22. This is Daily Mail territory, 'homeless people earn more than us, by begging'... Homeless people across the age's rely on the charity of people who have more than they need, but are close enough to poverty, to understand 'there but for the grace of <insert lucky token> go I'... Alexander the great didn't need a smartphone... 😉 This is completely opposite to reality, Joe Schmo's dallar can only fill his gas tank or belly then it's gone and everyone (including himself) believes that he's one step away from the gutter; if either of these guy's spend their last dollar, no-one wants to believe it, and everyone will make sure they don't see the gutter, lest they follow... In this context, how does it help you?
  23. One day, one of us will be wrong...
