Philosophy - August 2007

a professor had a dead cat in the box but didn't tell any body it was dead under the belief that because no body could see the cat and the last time any one saw it it was alive so as long as no one saw it it was nether dead or alive and it would continue to be in this state of nether life or death until some one saw it and there for forced the cat to be one or the other
what do u think

The unpredictability implied by quantum mechanics has done away with the Newtonian world view, in which all future events are predetermined. In our evolutionary worldview, there always is a choice: a variety of possibilities, some of which are retained by selection. The defining characteristic of a cybernetic agent is some degree of control over that selection. Because of their capacity for thought, people, moreover, are not only free to choose between given possibilities, but able to conceive novel possibilities and explore their consequences. Is this free will and are we really allowed to practice it?

This question defines the domain of epistemology. Knowledge is the existence in a cybernetic system of a model, which allows that system to make predictions, that is, to anticipate processes in its environment. Thus, the system gets control over its environment. Such a model is a personal construction, not an objective reflection of outside reality. what do you think?

why?

By 'it', of course I mean 'everything you see, everything you experience, everything that is'

Do you stop and look around and 'wonder' what it's all about?

Do a million questions fill your head?

Does it vex you?

How does it make you feel, knowing that you may never know the 'reason' for it all?

Men and women are tests for eachother? Why do we fail? Why do we have sex and hold hands and want to mate ?! It's nature, but it's nature we should go against.

I cannot stand it. I vow not to look at a woman again. Now you all dont twist your mind, I do not like guys.

I am tired of bullshit thinking of sex, love, all that bull ****!

It's a waste of life, and I want to pass the test this time.

I hope I enlighten someone.

I enlightened myself.

Money. It makes the world go around. It's the root to all evil. To crimes...war...death...and other terrible offenses. Occasionally you hear someone wish that they hoped one day they had all the money in the world so that they could get what they want and be happy...But would they ever be happy? It's almost humanly to build up excitment when you see something you want and once you finally get it...sure. You are glad for a while...but then you see something else and you aren't happy until you get it. So in all words put together, It may be terribly difficult to be happy when you hav all the money in the world because you will never get what you want even though you have all these things that you 'wanted'. But you still don't have what you want because you are never happy. Aside from this...Open your eyes and look around you to see all the starvation, poverty....and death that surrounds you.....Will they ever be...as happy as you?

How to believe in something in which you dont even know what it is? Why every religion is manipulative or used manipulatively? Why God cant be debated and questioned? Why religions dont evole to reflect science, culture and society?
