LOL +1, I just got that... Doh...
But as a reply to the topic title, Wittgenstein did explain what bad philosophy is as it relates to a solipsistic approach.
We have to accept as a basic principle, that a sound created is a sound, even if one doesn't hear it...
I'd go further and suggest, as a basic principle; any philosophy that does anything other than seek to benefit, the majority of, other's; isn't good philosophy.

I think you mean that wielding it in order to prove something, right or wrong, is flawed. I'm not familiar with Wittgenstein's argument, but I'd be very interested to know. Perhaps @Eise knows. He's our on-call philosopher.
I'll be honest, I was hoping that post would intice Eise to return to the site and explain how badly I've misinterpreted Wittgenstein...

Indeed, perhaps the life of brian can explain...

Lunatic argument, did not show me who refuted this study, what methods were used to refute, and what date they were refuted, just claimed to be old "probably refuted". And he also said that I have agendas at the end. LMAO
However, as I said before, recent studies are in the text above, if the child cannot find it without the help of an adult, I can do nothing. I don't even have time for that.
No wonder you show such an affinity with JohnSSM; would you like to join us, on the left hand side?

It was based on my studies.
Would you know what dopamine felt like if it entered your system? How? Cuz someone told you how dopamine makes you feel, and they are right. If some scientist never discovered dopamine, would you know anything about it? So hormones and neurotransmitters are often to blame for strange, self induced feelings based totally on a subjective experience. Its not bollox, but you are welcome to your opinion. See what it gets you.You're talking to this forum's champion stoner, ask zap/Migl/anyone; your on a sticky wicket, comparing our studies... 😉

I’d recommend they get out and see the world.
I'd recommend you read the thread.

What is it with your desire, to blanket bomb this forum with bollox like this:
3 hours ago, JohnSSM said:It may give you a sensation or arousal that you cannot describe. As all other hormones and neurotransmitters were created to do. Its not for you to interpret, its for your neural system, but you can still feel it and try to create a subjective description for it, but truly, your conscious senses were probably not supposed to be that aware of it.

I do this as well and thought I was the only one until I stumbled on this forum. To ask how I do it is a bit like trying to describe the color red to someone who can’t see color, but here goes. Imagine your brain to muscle connection is a tightly wound ball of rubber bands.
Imagine trying to describe the colour red, to someone who doesn't understand the word color...

This very question prompts another neat question, is anal sex instinctual?
I know dogs prefer anal sex, just like humans.
It questions so much, all the non-sexual activity, so called 'foreplay', are instinctual too?
It answer's more, you want to but haven't; the only instinct it demonstrates is, it smells disgusting let's not do that again. 🤢

I'll try again on the off chance anyone cares about this silly side discussion we've been having.
OK, let's unpack this "silly side discussion":
21 hours ago, zapatos said:I felt Firebirdy was wrong to make so many questionable assertions without any supporting evidence and so said:
"I've never seen so many unsubstantiated claims in one post since I've been here."
To which you replied:
"Sometimes one has to search through the shit to get the answer, for instance, public/private/privileged school's, in Britain are charities... 😉"
You'll note in my reply, I don't disagree with you "Sometimes one has to search through the shit to get the answer", I even included a smiley wink...
21 hours ago, zapatos said:Since you responded directly to me I thought you were either in support of what I said or in opposition, but I could not tell.
Yet you chose, without due diligence, to tar me with the same brush, and accuse me of an unsubstantiated claim rather than seek clarification...
21 hours ago, zapatos said:As is your style, you did not answer directly but instead gave an example of a school that was a charity, and another school that was a state school.
You're showing your bias here, instead of asking for clarity, you chose to try and belittle me. As in a recent thread of mine, where you implied I was stoned rather than offer an argument...
21 hours ago, zapatos said:Why are we talking about British schools? What do they have to do with whether or not Firebirdy's claims should be substantiated?
23 hours ago, dimreepr said:As to the point...
I don't think this part is unsubstantiated (I haven't read the rest), my post was an attempt to show how corruption can turn a virtue bad.
I think the founding father's of the USA, tried to write a virtuous and corruption proof set of rules; and as much as making the education of the poor a charity is virtuous; charity itself is corrupted when it benefits the wealthy.
Which is very pertinent to the first paragraph of the OP, or do you doubt that corruption by the wealthy makes a mockery of democracy?
No where do I deny the OP is largely talking bollox, I just thought this one point was worthy of discussion.

Seat of the consciousness is in the striatum
in Biology
Has anyone considered an octopus, how many leg's have to be removed, before it's considered unconscious???
