Btw..I haven't read the source, and I'm kind of too lazy.
At any rate, quick question.
The brain's decision..what is it based on in the theory you presented? Environmental conditions resulting in the acquisition of behavior? .

I might if it's a cat.

Essentially, yes.



PM, mods might poop their pants and add to your cool bar.

Post it unless its ridiculously horribly mangled. No steam roller accident pictures

this is what i said earlier

i personally think its bullshit
and take Veils point about it being, lets be honest, fairly certain that were not amongst a conspiricy
but it does exist as a point of view, though fairly unliveable, and should be appreciated.

as far as good or bad comes down to it, i think there is huge scope for grey area. so much so that nothing, in my opinon, is ever purely good or purely bad.
it also brings up another point which is ethics - do you decide good or bad on consequences (utilitarian), universalizability and thouight-experiments (Kantism), the spiritual well being of a person (chirstianity), or something else?





i like this one.

No you haven't apparently. How can you be certain what exactly happens during one of these hallucinogenic experiences when even scientists can't. You also seem to have zero understanding of a fabricated reality. I hate to refer you to this, but the Matrix is a good example for people who can't seem to comprehend such a notion. No need to be mad at me because the key concepts of such things elude you, I don't blame you. Such things aren't for everyone to be able to contemplate or want to understand.
