Nice article, it really brought together a lot of things that have been floating around in my head. I truly believe in the nihilistic approach to governing our lives and how we should interact with eachother, we should not base reality on "myths". On the other hand, myths do give individuals hope and reason to go on living, but as long as they are kept to the individual the dangers of them aren't seen. But, the world we live in calls for unified ideologies, and that spells trouble for any rational thought through nihilism.

After thinking about nihilism for a while, I laid down on my bedroom floor for no reason at all, and stayed there for 15 minutes.

"The plain fact is that the scientific examination of human existence strips away every claim for a special status of humanity that would put us above the rest of nature."

The plain fact is the philosophical examination of human existence gives evidence for every claim for a special status of humanity that would put us above the rest of nature.

Philosophy trumps science.

We win. :tongue:

Since Hobbes and Bacon decided to take philosophy AND science on a mad goose chase. Truth has never recovered from those fatal twists and turns.

Aristotle then, Aristotle now.

I rest my case. ( and in this case it is a case of Kentucky's finest bourbon, "American Blended" )

HO HO HO HO HE HE HE HE HA HA HA HA

:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Please refer us to some of the great works of literature of the animals then.  Or perhaps a review of their syntactical grammar.  Or a simple list of the machines they make that make other machines.

Show us their written history, their religion, or their technology, please.

The gulf is both wide and deep and cannot be spanned.

There were no great Oriental Philosophers, just rugs.

Cheers,

You are quite right.  Better is a poor word choice.  Then again it was also a small red herring equivocation used by a lover of science so what else would we expect?  Ambiguity can be fun.  You and I both know that.  But it rarely gets us closer to the truth.

The difference between man and the other animals is one of several subjects I have promised but failed to deliver. :frown:

I suppose what I really need to do is to schedule it in and prepare some time to discuss it like I did in the Truth? thread.

Currently it is as shelved as much as your leading us through a discussion on Freddy. :wink:

Cheers,

The philosophical argument I am alluding to takes into account other animals than man and their facility with perceptual abstraction AND AI.

Thanks for the compliment. :smile:

Here, have a swig of this bourbon.

Wait.

How old are you?

:grin: :grin: :grin:

:blush:
