Can you please help little Rik?  I'm all ears!


Quote:Given your tendency to defy convention and define words as you please, answering you is a fool's errand.


Unfortunately too many people take all what is written in a dictionary for granted.
I describe these people as gullible.
As i would read with extreme care what is written in a contract i also read with the due care what a dictionary say.
The Latin word sentient come from the old sanskrit word sattvik.
It goes back thousand of years when London and NY where the dictionaries with incorrect information are today printed didn't even exist.
If you don't believe me just do some researches in the net.





Quote:Why don't you simply tell us what you think philosophy is instead of playing games with loaded questions?


Sorry yogin but the ball is in the hands of those who moved my thread from the philosophy forum to the skeptic forum.
If they think my thread didn't have any thing to do with philosophy they should be so kind and fair to explain that they are competent in philosophy.
After over one year of request they still keep on not answering to my request.
Wouldn't you think that they haven't got the slightest  clue of what they are talking about? 
I am ready to challenge them on philosophy any time but i am afraid that they are too scared.  I'm all ears!

...or they realize that it's a waste of time to deal with you.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

A forum is all about challenging other people point of view if you think that someone talk rubbish.
In life is the same.
Suppose someone take you to court.
There would be an explanation that point out your alleged mistakes.
Without explanation the judge would dismiss the case and ask the one that take you to court to pay the court cost and the other person expenses for wasting his time.
If people don't give a proper explanation for their actions it is normal to presume that they haven't got the slightest clue why they do that.
If as you say it would be a waste of time dealing with me why they deal with me in the first place by moving my thread?  I'm all ears!

If someone's entire methodology is rubbish and they respond to challenges with non-sequiturs, then there is little reason to deal with them, aside from pointing out the obvious nonsense for the benefit of the crowd.

Because the thread was in the wrong forum, and it is standard procedure to move threads that are in the wrong forum.  Your incoherent demands regarding what philosophy is obviously did not sway the moderating team, and your insistence that they provide a definition that you would accept did not obligate them in any manner.  In short, they are forced to deal with you up to a certain extent, after which they may dismiss your arm-waving and go about their business.

That's okay, Rik. You're in the grip of a cult. You're not expected to recognize the difference between philosophy and making suggestive statements to the effect that what you believe couldn't be more obvious.

On the other hand, the fact that no one else has the same high regard for the beliefs of your cult should give you at least a little pause.
