Consciousness: Is it seperate from the human body?
|
|
"Nothing more than" knowledge..there you go again. Just like "mere" it is simply a matter of opinion.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Evidence means nothing to me, experience is the way I go, you can know all about whatever, but it means nothing until you have experienced it for yourself.
"You can know all about shooting yourself in the foot, but it means nothing until you have shoot yourself in the foot." If this doesn't sound ridiculous to you, then there is no hope for you.

(and clearly evidence means alot to you.......)

No no, your wrong, it should be, if you haven't been shot through the ankle, then you have no idea what it is like, its all theory, useless knowledge, and that is what you live on, that is what makes you feel safe here on this forum.

No hope for you, and let me give you some EVIDENCE why. Preventive care cannot be done unless you know what the outcome would most likely be if you haven't done it. For example, brushing your teeth to minimize tooth decay. Buckling your seatbelt. Not eating poison. Also, what does experience gives you, KNOWLEDGE. You that thing that you called useless.

Experience gives you just that, when we reduce it to knowledge then that is second-hand, its not your experience its someone else's, get it !!. |
