Cooking it in a crock pot in Vernors. Don't have beer. Put the potatoes and onion in at the start. Salted it alot at the start. And added the seasoning that comes with it. expect to cook it on high for 4-5 hours just thinking that isn't enough for it to be falling apart tender.

No no no. Its just that word ...there. The reaction to the spider was an impulse or reaction based on a bad experience but not alot of thought. I'm not questioning anything else to do with the book except that word and its use with instantaneous. Of course I'm not questioning what appears...

You're digressing like a republican ...perish the thought. What constitutes thought is a first order concept and requires deliberation. There may be something there thats instant but it isn't up to thought and don't have a problem with any of what the rest of the book may say.

Whats with these haircuts that look like two water waves that meet in the middle of your head? Are you TRYING to look goofy.

Still not agreeing on thought being instantaneous though. I think thats something we have to hold the line on.

I'm not ascribing to any catechism here, I"m simply submitting that in the face of existence and creation, however it occured, we recognize the majesty of it and that it is ultimately a mystery. And my allusion to cause and effect didn't consider anything mentioned previously in this thread...

Thats because the Divine is inaccessible to reason. It hangs out where only poetry can describe it. Atheists model everything in terms of cause and effect yet if you entertain the possibility that we don't know what we can't know the way a dog doesn't know anything about literature, then we...

I understand what you're describing but I think it would help if you used a different word in place of thought. I'd suggest imprint, experience or memory. Thought requires a feedback loop as in contemplation.

Happy St Patricks Day from an Irish band ...I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxVlN-LzIks&feature=fvwrel

No. As an abstraction theres a qualitative standard for what passes as a Thought and it has to do with duration, reflection and is never instantaneous. What you're describing is more like the input output of what happens along the event horizon of a cpu but thought is uniquely human.

What about height? Do they let short people fly? Those dashboards are already pretty high.

Sure, to the extent that two things that aren't the same thing have characteristics that differ. Taking into consideration duration then not alot of thought precedes what might pass for a feeling. If one were pricked with a pin spontaneously the feeling would be immediate then instinct kicks...

Then you'd have to toss out the definition of instinct altogether. On the baby thing, thats what Chomsky discovered, that they were "predisposed" towards developing language.

Hmmm? Ridicule? C'mon Ricter, you don't take anything on this site seriously do you?

He may be a genuine ....Gangster. Careful, not too many gold chains, might lead to backache.

Aliens of course. There are a few of em on this website. Me and a few others are the only ones spared. The thing about service economy I agree with. Aliens don't do piecework, they mostly talk on the phone, network, consult and move paper around. They're sort of support staff for people who...

I've read that Oprah has all the money. We have to tax her.

Is that marble or linoleum? :D

Any port in a storm eh ...Lucifer. How is that pentangle you've got painted on your parents basement floor?
