  Panpsychism - a philosophy with a future

  by slimboyfat in

  1. social
  2. current

  at one time scientists believed that living things and non-living things were made of different material, accounting for the unique properties of living things.

  this idea is called vitalism and is no longer popular.

  what does remain popular (in fact is still the dominant view) is a similar idea that things that experience the world (humans, frogs, mice) are different from things that don't experience the world (potatoes, rocks, snowflakes).

  I can show that frogs, mice and humans experience to varying degrees, but I cannot show that an inanimate rock can. So what can this idea be built on if it's an assertion about physical reality?

  watchtower writings used to have some meat to them.

  they have been increasingly watered down and simplified.

  i think we all recognize that.

  Gay marriage only becomes possible in a culture once traditional marriage is thoroughly devalued.

  i've now seen a couple of references to this and did a little digging before leaving for work.

  i saw someone on reddit in july saying that someone on the inside said a change was coming in 2018 with the jw message, and i've now seen two references to this in the past week.

  help a former brother out.

  If there was anything to their judgement message, everybody would have been dead a long time ago.

  i've been knee deep in this netflix series "stranger things," which is a science fiction show about a group of adolescent friends in a town where a government lab has been doing experiments.

  it took me like a year to get around to watching it.

  but so glad that i finally started.

  Being in a room alone with Ron amounts to consent.

  In the meantime Ohio governor candidate just preemptively fessed up to boinking at least 50 "very attractive" wimminz. "Pictures or you're lying" is what I say. Although, to be honest, when your junk is in a woman's mouth she's the most beautiful one in the world...

  "we would never deliberately distort a quotation"

  Then they're incompetent. They've made a long history of distorting quotations to falsely support a point.
