 Forum: Politics, Philosophy, and Religion   Topic: Why a Perfect Mind Could Not Be a Mind

A structural account of consciousness carries an unexpected consequence for the concept of a maximal mind. If subjectivity is constitutively the activity of a bounded process that differentiates, carries its prior states forward, stabilizes them across change, and corrects the misalignment between i...

I was bullied to the point of believing the bullies were right in bullying me. And by bullies, I mean everybody. And it didn't seem to be contained to my school years or even what country I was currently in. Everybody everywhere seemed to agree on one thing: I was to be ousted out of whatever social...

You should become a bureaucrat. You'd be perfect at writing long-winded proposals, mission statements, and so forth that, once they're translated into human language, mean precisely nothing. Nah, I like to think that what I write actually carries some sort of meaning - if nothing else for the meta-...

I specifically write my preposterous linguistic amalgamates to thoroughly abrogate all the burgeoning expectations, which people abstractedly compile when provided entertainment, involving introspectively debilitating inclinations toward abecedarian levels of implicated coherence. i do not think th...

This is where I found the video (which was probably meant to be a joke anyway). I'm sure the text isn't: http://www.atlanteanconspiracy.com/2008/09/jesus-christ-magic-mushroom-part-1.html Interesting, but one problem: the author talks about finding mushrooms in the desert. You aren't going to find ...

^ I hadn't heard that one before. One problem with the song: most of the pictures are of Amanita muscaria , which doesn't grow in stables. Anyway, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria Philologist, archeologist, and Dead Sea Scrolls scholar John Marco Allegro postulated that early Christian...

I'm waiting for the part where being promiscuous apparently means a woman can't be raped. The argument is far too common for my tastes. Ehm, where did THAT come from? I don't see how it is even possible to link promiscuity with rape... :scratch: Some people use the "logic" that if a woman wanted se...

I do get why such a theory makes sense and it does make a lot of sense because, as you say, our ansestors were searching for food and would have struck upon it. Saying this however, when debating drugs one always has to keep in mind I guess that a drug is always consumed in the context of a cultura...

Yes, we may well be afraid of stating that but just because we are afraid of such an assumption because of drug-taboos does not nessecarily mean that it is true. At the moment I do not see that that is the case. As for mushrooms creating visual acuity, more tests would need to be done. Although hum...

Well, you would have to find the quote. I do not know what they mean by saying that he does not respect ancient cultures nor the drugs. That sentence to me has no real semantic value.

Well, the woman in the picture never took mushrooms herself. She was a Siberian shaman but never took them. Haha, I admit it is a bit weird but then many coincidences seem very strange and there could have been other reasons why they had them. I mean we worship trees during christmas but it does no...

If you haven't done already, read the book Shroom by Andy Letcher since it gives a sober and rational take on the link between religion and magic mushrooms. Andy Letcher is, according to a post on Erowid, apparently refuted by the guys in the presentation I posted. Letcher is supposedly not respect...
