well, i slept a lot in class, but it wasn't actually THAT boring. some of it is pretty interesting and logical, except when they try to prove god exists.
but stuff like saying that we infer a lot of things about the world... like when we see the sunset colors, we assume they're caused by the setting sun, but we don't actually see the sun causing those colors... that's interesting.
plus it counts for my literature gened requirement, so more power to philosophy. |
Lit requirement....your school sucks. take a real lit class, like Crime and Violence in Literature.
and I learned those things in sensation perception. Its funny the overlap with philosophy and psychology. well also learned that you don't observe behavior, you infer it... it gets intense from there on out, so I will stop now. |

...symbols...funny shapes...filling the 3 chalk boards in a spewed out fashion...
I swear, that's all it was. For almost an hour looking at chalk boards filled with consecutive rows of symbols. Ugh, it almost makes me gag thinking about it. |

I took Greek Art and Architecture and it was incredible. A bit of mythology ties into there as well. |

| so now answer me, did this hijack happened PURELY by chance or was it predetermined by the fact that boomers and i started posting in this thread? |
|

| Mr. Pink |
I stand by my original statement.
predetermination is gay
so if predetermination is gay, can we say that those who believe in predetermination are, in fact, gay?:conf: |

I don't believe that things are predetermined, since:
small changes/decisions/events that take place now will lay a foundation for how future changes/decisions/events will influence you -- thus making people believe that "fate" exists when it doesn't - it was a succession of prior events that influenced that "fate"'s relevance to you.
A basic example:
A friend of yours dies - a long-time friend that you met at _____ High School located in the city of ________ in the year _____.
Change any of the blanks above and this person dying would not likely have been an issue in your life.
Some will argue that I'm wrong and that Intuition is like our internal GPS device for staying on the path of pre-determined fate..but whatever...
Wow this post was confusing. |

| Mr. Pink |
but it all makes sense when the final conclusion comes about :
predetermination = GHEY |

hhmm, I think I'll look this up to get it right...
and ther will prolly be a new page of replies when I am done typing.
"while in new york city, standing on a street corner nearest where she (the orig author) was staying, Falk (orig author) had a chance encounter with an old friend from Jerusalem. As might be expected the 2 friends ask each otehr, "what are the chances of this happening?" The real answer depends upon what "this" we are talking about. If "this" is the chance encounter of these specific people in new york on a particular day, the probability is really small, and the amazement is justified. But as falk points out, everyday analysis of coincidence tends to be very narrow.
She describes it more accurately by asking, What was the probability that - during the course of the year she was living in New York City- she would encounter "at any time, in any part of the city, any one from my large circle of friends and acquantencies?" the appearance of anyone of her friends would have produced an equivolent coincidence, and anytime or place in the city would have been equally surprising.
So chances are more reasonable if you accurately look at them...
**yes I typed that whole pile of crap...** |
