Cultivation of the soil "has within it a positive spiritual good" and from it the cultivator acquires the virtues of "honor, manliness, self-reliance, courage, moral integrity, and hospitality." They result from a direct contact with nature and, through nature, a closer relationship to God. The agrarian is blessed in that he follows the example of God in creating order out of chaos.
To truly be atheist you must be a Christian first, Christianity is truly atheist psychoanalytically speaking
God IS dead, he died on the cross. It is finished. We are alone now.
Did you listen? Cultivation of the land has a spiritual quality. Only rootless cosmopolitans are divorce from this natural understanding.
Hmmm
Farming is spiritual in that it gets your neurotransmitters flowing, like all exercise does
Pretty much it though.
You can get the same stimulation from a video game.
You don't experience neurotransmitters, fam. Life would be boring if you did.
Neurotransmitters ARE your experience
Your consciousness is nothing but electrochemical reactions
That's not what I am saying. I am saying that, however our experience is formed, we do not experience it directly as neurotransmitters. It is created, and then experienced.
Explaining consciousness does not change it's content.
Can you see the difference?
They are the same thing
The hard problem of consciousness isn't so hard
It's not.
It's simple, but you cannot even read my simple words. Our experience is not neurotransmitters, even if it is wholly formed by them. If we did, we wouldn't need science, because we could already observe it.
Generally speaking, for most people, external things are projected into our sensory nerves, which transmit a signal through neurotransmitters to the brain, where more neurotransmitters transmit more signals to the part of the brain that deals with advanced subjective experience, where more neurotransmitters process those signals constantly when we are alert and conscious.
And that advanced subjective experience is what we call 'consciousness'
The act of being conscious and consciousness itself are two different things
What do you call this theory
Neuroscience
You're missing my point entirely.
The conscious part, not the sensory nerves and transmitters
What's your fucking point, sir?
Oh, that's just the definitions of words.
Because string theory says otherwise, was curious what your theory comes from
The explanation of consciousness is different from the experience of it.
Conscious as most people use it means "awake" or "not unconscious".
>string theory
Whereas "consciousness" is an abstract term used by philosophers as a catchall for sensory perception and the "meaning" of our senses.
There is no 'hard problem of consiousness', it's all a chemical reaction
I never said there was.
You are just going off on a tangent.
No, I'm being precise.
Now please explain the diference between the experience of what we call consciousness, and consciousness itself.
