Re: we gotta get this thing kick started again.
It would seem to matter more 'what' is asserted as physical rather than physical being defined as capable of interacting with the physical .

Re: we gotta get this thing kick started again.
All those books of yours are thoughts written down, originating from minds. This seems silly to now argue that thoughts aren't conscious, or that minds are dependent on thoughts. Explain how a thought does not originate from a mind, please. :lol: Hm, it was a passing thought - I was lazily trying f...

Re: Limits of democracy
Anyone else want to talk about this, are there periods of development where authoritarianism can be justified as a part of development? Justified to whom, Miles? To a political science professor? To God? To the average American man on the street? To an impartial alien observer from Alpha Centauri? ...

Re: Limits of democracy
Dear Dr. Chomsky, Some of the chaps at school and I were discussing world politics and we wondered about your opinion on the situation in The Orient.

And I'm saying the opposite - that I recognize that total understanding (if that's even a coherent concept, which I have my d...
