Where you are going wrong, perhaps, is presuming that the neurological correlates that occur conjointly to our  conscious experience ARE NOT the same thing as that conscious experience of a perception.

I cannot remotely impress my patterns of brainwaves into your brain, so that you feel some pain I feel, or so that you experience redness as I do, so that you know what “salty” tastes like to me.

This is basically your prime evidence that consciousness is inexplicable.

I don’t follow.

I think you mixed up videos.  The one in this thread, is much more benign.

It gives a wee peek into one of the multitude of cartoons that inhabit T rump’s brain. Specifically, we see how he thinks of himself as a topic of conversation amongst 2 of his enemies while they were engaged in coitus. (brought to you by T rump’s Xtreme Narcissim).

Personally, I think it was a poor effort on T rump’s part.  I mean, the…[Read more]

I can see that.  I suggest that anyone who needs a mental health break from T rump, take such breaks from thinking about him, as needed.  But maybe just check back in occasionally, just in case… And for sure check back in when the next election is imminent.  Then vote.

The vid is not that bad.  Stupid, goofy, and like an attempt by a grade sch…[Read more]

When I had a large jagged kidney stone in my kidney, years ago, the pain in my right lower back was poundingly intense. The pain lead to my writhing on the floor and vomiting.  (That suggests the intensity.)  It hurt very much.

That is a description of the pain.  Steven says that it is not possible to verbally express this.  But there you go.…[Read more]

I thought the topic was the murdering parody video.

I guess CC is making a point that slightly sociopathic ppl made the video, and that the same types were among Robber Barrons and slavers.

I think that involves some assumptions that may be pressed too far to be exactly accurate.

But your assumption that pot is involved, in CC’s expression,…[Read more]

You have some ruts in your outlook.  It never occurred to me that Columbus Day is indicative of bias against white people. But you thought it straight off.

You are clearly wrong unless you are speaking about recent years, possibly.  But Columbus Day was established as a holiday when our culture was more biased towards whites than now.

Besides C…[Read more]

The title of this thread is unfortunate.  I just picked the thread that had already been started about one of the previous debates.  But the title question “who won the debate?”  is rather inane, I think.

3 things:

1) I enjoy gleaning enough info to make reasonable guesses about what will happen.

2) I also need to glean enough info to eventually decide my pick for the primary election. (I have no hard pick, yet.  I could even decide to go back to Bernie, potentially, tho probably not.)

3) I desperately want someone from among this group to be…[Read more]

Klinko: “Sorry, but nobody can describe in Human Language what their Conscious Sensory Experiences Feel Like. If someone was Red Color Blind there would be no Words you could say that would describe or Explain what your Experience of Redness was like. If someone had never felt Pain you would not be able to describe your Experience of Pain to them.…[Read more]

Tonight’s dirty dozen Dems Debate has a new entry (Stoyers who has been singlehandedly lobbying for T rump’s impeachment for a while now.)

Right now we have polling that currently puts Biden, Warren, Bernie near 20%, Buttigieg 8%, Kamala, I think 4% and the rest 2% or below.

So a 3 hr debate, Bernie who just had a heart attack recently should be…[Read more]

Humans can be so creative with their sexuality.

When the articles of impeachment go to the Senate, I believe it is the Supreme Ct Justice Roberts who will be in charge of the proceedings, not Moscow Mitch.  So that’s a wee bit better, tho perhaps not much.

I was just watching the upcoming Dozen Dems Debate and a singer performed the Star Spangled Banner a Capello.  It was a beautiful rendering.  As I listened I imagined scenes of Kurds being blown up by the Turks. There was no red white and blue waving in the light of the rockets’ red glare, in those scenes of betrayal and death   There is no ho…[Read more]

btw, the right/left brain explanation is not correct.  It’s something about different individual’s brains interpreting the light waves differently.

What colors do you “experience” here?  teal and gray or pink and white?

? What do u mean, a High School said “So, he took money from Russia.”?
