Well I know there's a few brain cells floating around Fazed, so I pose a question. Name your favorite philosopher/philosophy, and describe what he/she/it means to you.
Nietzsche interests me a lot, I like his views on organized religion, but he degrades women as well, which isn't so admirable.
One philosophical theory I thought was intriguing was in the movie 'Waking Life.' A character described that our entire lives are just being played back in our brains. We live in the 15 minutes of postmortem brain activity.

I like Stephen Wright. He's deep.

Leave b00zar alone. He's my bitch from way before you were here.

i'd be more interested in taking a dump in your mouth
Well you do seem to be interesting in fronking mothers.
i am taking a class on philosophy!
but not my own mother. that is where your argument breaks down.
i am taking a class on philosophy!
I'd be interested to hear what you're learning about.
At a two-year college. They get the best philosophy professors.
b00zar you queer little bitch. Where's my ham sammich? NOW!
well, we are reading some nietzsche now. its a 101 class. also we have read the writings of plato, marx, and a guy called ortega
dont gang up on me
As I said...b00zar is MY bitch! MINE!
do you dislike philosophy because you're not good at it, or vise-versa?
philosophy isn't good at me
talk about missing the point.

Ortega y Gasset?

yes, that ortega
Am I the only one whose posts have at least 3 meanings? You people are NOT working hard enough.
not a problem
Why don't you just go write a Cryptic Crossword for your local newspaper?
I have a friend that does just that, Wonderbread...hang on, I'll find her website.
Now that's damn cool.
I miss Susie. *cries*
Her cryptics are hella tough. I think I managed to do three during the entire summer I spent in Ottawa.
What are your views on free will and determinism?
they are very nice
When I was a wee young lad and into the rougher side of life my friends and I would spend hours contemplating the bizarre nature of the human mind while tripped up on LSD. Those were some wacky times.
Plato - The Republic

If you're reading this, Susie...I still love you.
My will determines how free you are. Get hopping.
You're already dead. You just haven't been buried yet.
What about me 10phi? What about me?
What are your views on free will and determinism?
Free will exists, but it's not as it seems. Our brains are extremely complicated, but as we can predict animal behavior through certain stimuli, in the future we will be able to predict human behavior as well (with some anamolies.) There just needs to be a computer where all psychological data is recorded and it will be able to predict a reaction to a certain action. It's as if our brains live by an extensive set of rules.

How dare you subscribe to the philosophy that was what the Maker had in mind when he created us!

Supercomputers will someday be able to map out the brain in it's entirety and simulate human intelligence. I'm glad someone else shares this view with me, I tried to argue it in one of my cognitive psych classes and I was dismissed by the professor... Social sciences have become an insular little world while technology has created a paradigm that renders a lot of the bullshit research in social sciences obsolete and anachronistic.
I wrote a paper on the theoretical probablities of recording all human brain activity as electronic data. I still think that this is possible given the nature of neuronal activity, and how it is theorized that the brain processes and stores data...
