when the train blows its whistle
i know what time it is
and when you give me that look
its no more than a quize
as i've seen that look before
thats when im up an adam
and headed out the door
your words are fists of fury
you scold me like a dog
thats why im in a hurry
you got me jumpin like a frog
i go off for a spell
in your furry you do dwell
and when i get back home
you always give me hell
once you calm down
you make it worth all that crap
naked and giving kisses
while squirming on my lap

If we argue that all our thought processes are nothing but electrochemical signals that occur in the synapses and neurons in our brains, then all our "thinking" can be demoted to "calculating" via biochemical pathways.

In the same way, when a computer calculates via its semiconductor hardware, can it be said that the computer "thinks"?

In other words, If the brain can be treated as a machine, can a computer(or its CPU) be treated as a kind silicon-based "brain"?

I think I have a tendency to attract people unwillingly or attract attention, then people want to be my friend but Im not a social person so then people think im arrogant because I do not speak...everyone wants to know who that quiet kid is, i think i attract attention because im always silent, thinking instead of talking. I dont know. I have always been like this. I like to keep to myself. I dont like attention. I dont like speaking to people I dont know. I like thinking. I like being by myself. I expect this in advance now. This is how my life is going to be like, social people getting pissed because I dont talk to them and share my ideas. I never have time to have fun. I always work. Theres no Tv in my room so no video games. I eat the cafeteria food which is suppose to be healthy but they're playing us. Because i dont speak people think im sullen, silent resentment. Im just a self conscious person, I cant change that. I surprise people because they look at me and think im dumb because I never say anything but when they read my writings they're shocked. Still waters run deep. Quiet people have complex personalities and feelings and thoughts, no one understands that, grown people; 42 year olds, dont know that. I hate this.

does life need a meaning? does 'meaning of life' refer to the same thing as 'purpose of life?' wouldn't that mean life's meaning is different for everybody?

Excessive consumption drives capitalism. But at the same time it is destroying our environment.

The Milwaukee Tool Company build an electric drill, called the ½ Inch Chuck Magnum Drill that was virtually indestructible. Most of these drills built over a forty year period are still in use today and are respected worldwide by people in the building trade. Milwaukee’s Principle was simple enough: 'Build a product that would last a lifetime and people would buy it.' Although it cost more than cheaper drills people bought it because it lasts.

But most products are made to self-destruct, forcing the consumer to constantly buy replacement products and equally causing the quickened depletion of our natural resources.

So I ask, is it a myth that capitalism would implode without forced excessive consumption or are there viable options we can use that ensures capilalism can survive without destroying our planet?

(What's this question doing in philosophy? Think about it.)

I imagine it varies from place to place, but just the basics would be great, I suppose. Do you have insurance (medical, dental, etc.) while you're under contract, while your books are still selling, lifetime, what? Do they expect you to go out and get your own insurance? Family coverage? Pre-existing conditions? Is it group insurance? Any questions I forgot to ask, could you answer them while you're at it?

Yeah, I'm kinda looking for good news for my family. Some of them already think I'm crazy for pursuing this, but they're the ones who don't read what I write and when they do say "so what?"

Thanks all!
