Philosophy - December 2007

Do you ever wonder why you like this music and not that. Or you like a certain book, or movie, or game, etc. What is it about them that makes you enjoy them? It could be something about it, or maybe the way other people who like it are. What draws you to some things and not others?

Now that we no longer follow the Cartesian philosophies, which believed that except for mankind there was NO other intelligent, sentient, and self-aware creature on Earth;
and in light of the Chinese experiment showing that young chimpanzees can remember the sequence of numbers (numerals, actually) 1-9, and track them on a computer screen better than humans can;
and in light of being able to teach Sign Language to apes, who in turn can teach OTHER apes;

Well, when are we as a species going to recognize that our "dominance" is only a result of our peculiar ability to manufacture all sorts of machines, and not something that makes us inherently "closer to God", or distinctively intelligent, or otherwise so terminally unique as to be the only creature with a "soul" ?

1. It is a written conundrum which can manipulate the reality of all the living; breathing conundrums in existence. There are endless conundrums within all conundrums of those conundrums we see.
2. Be aware that one can lose their mind in such games.
3. I promise your view of all in existence will change.
4. Don't read the Bible, for religious purposes, alone.
5. Solve the conundrum of all conundrums and post the answer.
Of course not in this generation will anyone of us find the answer within our youth.
6. I am offering you the chance to learn all there is about life.

A taste of the forbidden fruit: Satan has the world walking in circles. (Different directions, same path.) Now it's your turn to seek what keys are in the Bible that can benefit us.

Bottom line: What is worth more, than studying God's mind? I promise that the Bible is God's knowledge. I have tasted all of Socrates knowledge thru my own path, because of the Bible. Existence is the conundrum which is the Bible.

PLEASE PLEASE provide good justification for your answer. Don't say "YES PETA RULES" or "NO MEAT IS DELICIOUS."

The argument for the "yes" answer goes as follows:

Most people say human suffering is bad, but animal suffering isn't. However, to justify this distinction you have to explain why animals are different in a way that denies them rights. If you say that animals are dumb/irrational/etc, you risk categorizing some humans as such (braindead people, infants, retarded people).

I'm looking for a "no" argument...or another yes argument...either way.

Why many forget to love and start running behind the following:

To be Jealous and to make others Jealous
Competition
Show off
To be no.1
To overtake someone
Pride
Power
Money

They are responsible for creating hatred in others. None of the above is going to give you happiness.

It is that sacrifice, adjustments, tolerance and giving nature gives you more happiness.

Life is like a cycle. Live and die and then reborn again. So am i alive? I know that some of you'd think that (is this person stupid or something to ask a question like that) but really i don't know why iam living in this world anymore. The world that no one even care about me. When i was sad no one was there. When i felt lonely, no one was there either. So i asked myself everytime things like that happened. Why am i living? and iam living for what? That is why iam asking you. The people who know how to answer this question.

Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

Relax, cool and stop thinking. Happiness is at your doorstep. Invite and make it sit on your lap.

With common relatives in roots shared by 'science' (knowledge/ saturation of information) and 'schizophrenia' (split mind/ separated from environment)... how can one deny the possibility, I REMIND YOU THAT I SAID 'POSSIBLITY', that the objective awareness is a dissociative state brought on by a desire to collect trinkets of information (the shells of our glorious ideas)?

Of course I am just throwing ideas out there, not trying to start a squabble.

This is a feed back poll, It would be interest to read your true from the bottom of your heart responses.

The point wont necessarily go to the most Altruistic answer but to best based no believability.
There is a greater chance of get the points if you come across as being honest .
