I researched girls in college. I am qualified to speak on that subject.

Actually I mean 'research', where one publishes a paper based on actual experimentation he has done. This is why I am qualified to speak of AI, and what led me to read quite a lot of works regarding philosophy of mind and other related topics.

I probably haven't gotten laid as much as you, but that really doesn't matter to me. Different strokes for different folks.

Are you related to Johnnny

Are you related to Johnnny

He is part of the Evil forces of Samoths and Wootoom's army battling for the soul of Johnnny. Johnnny must choose the light of the brothahood, but me must make the choice to be saved.

Align your self with goodness and riteousness, its always your choice, not the case with the evil forces that they command. Already they have made deep inroads into johnnnys soul with the black magic they have cast. Samoth's army is vast and he has many minions across the US and Canada and Japan. He is very powerful in the dark arts. If you choose to align yourself with Samoth, you would be trying to convert johnnny into a path that he has already started his journey. He will not listen to the brothahood's advice and we are losing him. He is grave peril.

So your saying although on the outside my soul may appear to be pure.. the internal me might be evil..

I shall have to dig deep to see my true motives..

Thank you BRother

Awww, yes the duality of man. Good does not exist without evil and it is within us all to be capable of such acts. It is the individual who decides what path they choose, what footprints they want to leave in life and death. Some of History's greatest achievers that we hold up were also capable and carried out great evil. So the question must be asked, how can one be capable of so much good and yet so much evil. The answer is thus the duality of man, the yin and yang.

I have read quite a few authors regarding the mind-body problem. Probably half of the philosphers that ever existed are still at work. Are the current philosophers in general less clever than those of the past?

I never claimed that physical science negated "thousands of years of theological and philosophical debate". Current day philosophy based on current day scientific knowledge corrects and builds from the past. That is what I am presenting, in an admittedly obnoxious way.

You assumed my position was similar to an adolescent who, upon picking up a copy of Atlas Shrugged, proceeded to make assertion after assertion. Perhaps my approach was a bit off, but I figured it would at least get a conversation going.

I have read and continue to read books and research papers on philosophy, AI, science, and I continue to do so. I'm sure my ideas will change in the future, but not quickly as you so arrogantly asserted. This is true because what I have presented represents the current concensus of a great deal of people in the fields I have mentioned. I didn't just pull this stuff out of my ass.

I don't even know what you mean by "mutual exclusivity". Could you explain?

Here it is hon, Your premise is flawed because you incorrectly surmise that if you are able to demonstrate a natural physical cause that can explain the phenomena of reason and emotions that you have disproved the possibility of a Creator, thats just silly. The two are not mutually exclusive (ie: the presence of one does not negate the other) So for example someone could argue in retort that this is the manner in which the Creator endowed us with these abillities.

Science is no where close to reasonably explaining the origin of life, matter, and a myriad of other complex riddles that at the current time have no demonstrable answers. It is all a question of faith. Your faith that some day science will find answers to these riddles that dont involve a supernatural origin, and the faith of others that a Creator was involved in creation.

I wont argue back and forth over the unprovable. You will retort that science will someday find a credible explanation, and thta may well be true. But until that day your point of view is no more substantive or supportable than those of the other side.

Your "arrogance" is unbecoming an actual scholar. Frankly son being the product of a Jesuit education I can tell you without fear of lying that I have met dozens (in just my limited experience) of Jesuit scholars, many of whom held multiple doctorates in ever field of knowledge, all of whom could run intellectual circles around you. Your certainty is nothing more than the byproduct of ignorance. The same charge you so easily use to label those with whom you disagree.
