You claim that human intelligence is an evolved biological feature but live as if your reasoning has independent veracity. You live as if your life has meaning then turn around and say that people are biological robots. If you are an ontological naturalist and believe all that that entails then you are living a lie. That's the hard truth, Esquilax. Sorry to hear that you cannot accept it.(August 21, 2014 at 2:16 pm)ChadWooters Wrote: I would go further than James. Holding dear the prospect of future annihilation leads inexorably to existential nihilism. Ontological naturalism destroys all identity, semiotic meaning, and appeal to rationality. This leaves its adherents living a self-constructed fantasy contrary to what they actually believe true.You have never once been able to demonstrate that.
