    The Psychology of Egotistical Belief & Overconfidence

    I think you meant to say "so we can't talk vaccines here" . . . because I've already been through that with Gene at length — and his position was made clear to me in no uncertain terms. His answer was "No", and given his condition, I don't feel that it's appropriate to carry on a discussion here...

    Like I said — we can't discuss it here unless we both want to be censored. All I'll say now is that I started off with the same assumption as you, but I have this annoying habit of trying really hard to look at the evidence and reasoning for the opposing perspective, and when I did that — I...

    Consciousness and the Paranormal — Part 13

    Watched it — same comments as above apply. Always glad to discuss certain specifics in greater detail. It seems to me that some of Hoffman's ideas are much the same as sci-fi, e.g. BSG type FTL. Who came up with them first, I don't know.

    Consciousness and the Paranormal — Part 13

    Be careful how to interpret that. It's pretty obvious that Earth had to come into existence and evolve humans before any of them could experience consciousness. It's not like billions of people's consciousnesses have been floating around out there in some alternate dimension waiting until the...

    Consciousness and the Paranormal — Part 13

    Sure — Also run a search for Donald Hoffman in the forum search. There's lots of discussion about his ideas. Ultimately his theory isn't an explanation of consciousness as much as it is a model of some of its facets, particularly how visual perception relates to brain function and the stimuli...

    Consciousness and the Paranormal — Part 13

    This is a reply to an old post ( I know ), but the findings in the paper make absolute sense ( to me ). We already know that memory patterns shift from place to place in the brain — from short-term to long-term memory, and over that period of time, it seems entirely logical that the original...

    Good point, but I don't necessarily call that "agreeing to disagree". I call your approach tabling or postponing the discussion on the understanding that due to other priorities, it cannot be resolved at the moment. That's sometimes the wisest choice. The "agreeing to disagree" situation is one...

    You're right. But personally — I don't subscribe to the "agree to disagree" mentality either. It's the same as sweeping it under the rug. Instead — I think people should have the wherewithal to constructively hash-out and resolve their differences. Those who simply walk away without trying, or...

    Interesting — I see it as a song about the political climate of the times. And I agree with the lyrics — "It's so sad".
