Patel
You are just defamatory now.
Why waste my time with this rubbish?
I saw an email from you asking for an apology for saying you lacked manners. Ridiculous.
Can't you read the above?
You smeared Churchland's approach to the interview, along with Don.
I disagree. I said Churchland reacted...
Patel
"Still haven't provided me with something you think she is right about regarding the nature of reality."
I'm not sure if that's a genuine question or a trolling question.
I don't know that I have to provide you with that.
My objection was to the aggressive interview, and I see...
K9
If you can't download a PDF from Skydrive, that's your problem.
Don't waste my time with your explanations.
"Goad"? he said its insecure and I said that's nonsense. Ridiculous
"Troll" that's even more of a stretch.
K9, trolls segue, like you are doing. There is no issue with the PDF, do...
Don
I can't say I understand your reference to Weyl.
Logic holds a theory together and falsifiable facts support it.
It really is as simple as that, but I suppose you can "categorize" this and that about what I have said.
Philosophers do that, often to no great use. Its just logic that holds...
Patel, you have got it wrong. Its quite simple
You replied to Don's comment about the interview showing Churchland to be "dodgy" (paraphrased).
You said it was the same "shoddy" stuff again from Churchland, like your example.
I am not addressing your example.
I am addressing your reference (and...
They are self-consistent to the Design provided.
Compression before a Big Bang was a state of explosive rest-to-energy potential.
It released that potential, that's all.
No need for a creator, but a definite need for physics to understand gravitation and conversion of rest mass into energy.
Its...
Patel,
You said the Churchlands are shoddy and deceptive. I find that to be bad manners.
I explain above something about the run of the interview - which certainly provides no basis for your insult to Mrs Churchland.
I think Churchland was "right" in the way she handled an aggressive interview...
Patel,
You can be as prejudicial as you like, or suspicious by another name.
I'm not fussy about such things, they are commonplace nowadays.
The point is, do you understand what you are saying?
Do you actually see the point of the book or any points in the book at all?
You certainly haven't...
Sciborg
I don't see what's shoddy or deceptive about the Churchlands here.
The interviewer pushed a line that NED's exist, and Churchland said tthey may exist for the interviewer.
That was a proper response.
She does not know if NDE's exist, but if one says they experience them, then "perhaps"...
Sciborg
Not to worry, this thread is alive and well.
I am counter to view expressed so far in this thread, which makes it a healthy thread.
Nothing worse for progress than everyone just agreeing with each other over obviously disputable claims.
Churchland is not the way you make her out to be...
Don, I read your Penfield thread.
I'm familiar with Penfield and have no issue with his generalities, except for the obvious fact that a brain is not isolated from a body.
Do you realize a brain is directly connected to every part of anatomy by inputs and outputs?
And yet you say brain = mind...
Sorry Don,
I forgot to ask, what is the point of my book to which you provide a counter-point (with no equations ans somehow avoiding derision for that)?
I see no indication you have even read it, just skimmed, and certainly no summary of my "point".
Again I find that superficial and lazy...
