IMO you've invited a larger question Simone Weil touched on.

In your opinion everything invites the inclusion of Simone Weil in some way or other.

Why are you against me?

Please provide an argument against this definition, if you disagree.

I don't disagree with the existing definition. I'm saying let's give it a new definition so it no longer applies to us.

I've noticed the lack of scientistics (adherents of Scientism, that is reductionist at core) on this forum. Why is it that Scientism is frown upon here?

Humans are evil. No doubt about it.

Well humans invented the word along with it's definition. We could always change the definition so the description doesn't apply to most of us. Fixed.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

That makes a change; you usually have no idea of what you are talking about.

Well the unmoved life living itself doesn't have to move or do anything, but when it does move and do something, it will be because it was meant to move and do something, and it will not move or do something one nano second before it is meant to do it. And that movement will be known as knowledge. ...

Not me. I'll kick him in the nuts for this.

You'd have to find him first. Greatest I am is always getting worked up over the actions of a God he doesn't believe exists, seems like a waste of energy, to me.

What is normally referred to as education is actually indoctrination. Most just accept its impartiality as fact. Those like Orwell, Einstein, Mark Twain and others saw it for what it is. Unless Orwell, Einstein, Mark Twain and others didn't have any education, it appears they managed to get through...

I never let any schooling(prison) - (artificial programming) get in the way of my education ~ DAM

So what did get in the way of it?

Consciousness is not measured by the ability to form sentences (computers and socialists can do that), but by the conceptual content within the sentences. And the example you provided: In the real world, consciousness is determined implicitly, in context measured in the favor of consciousness by th...

No computer I've constructed or programmed has greeted me upon a morning's fire-up with the message, Cogito ergo sum.

And how many people do you know who greet you like that? How long have you been suffering from this Descartes obsession of yours.
