 Blackdog: #11740 posted by metlslime on 2007/02/14 20:26:48 Only scientific theories have to be testable. Philosophy is almost entirely concerned with questions which are outside the bounds of science.
Please #11741 posted by inertia on 2007/02/14 20:54:41 move to philosophy thread
Yes. However... #11742 posted by BlackDog on 2007/02/14 21:08:15 We are discussing some questions here which aren't outside the bounds of science at all - whether there is an energy cost to consciousness, whether it is an adaptation, whether it is computable/can be produced with Turing complete computing devices, etc. Imo answering those with a philosophical style where you can take whatever assumptions you like for the purpose of argument isn't quite kosher.

I've never had those.
They sound like they would be moist and chewy though.

I never suggested you should take your discussion of existence and quantum mechanics or whatever it is your were talking about elsewhere, merely expressing my relief that I wouldn't have to scroll through screens and screens of crap to see if anyone had posted anything of interest to me or related somehow to games or mapping. After that I think we were all just joking about not really having anything worthwhile to say by posting about biscuits and cheese.
Er #11763 posted by inertia on 2007/02/16 03:33:21 metaphysics is interesting to everyone :<

Yeah, seeing as how this is the General Abuse thread, I can understand how you wouldn't want to put up with that.
Of course I'll look you up. What the flying fuck are you doing in Japan?
