I don't know much about psychology. Evolutionary biology, physics, and philosophy are what I like talking about
Hey
Tell me about Plato's 'Forms' and tell me how in any way shape or form they are relevant when compared to today's scientific understanding of the human mind
I know about Plato's forms but that's really not something I'd be good at. Still got a lot to learn about the modern scientific understanding of the human mind.
Philosophy of consciousness is one thing I haven't dug into yet, however,
I'm beginning that journey by reading "Consciousness Explained" By Daniel Dennett
If you could suggest some further reading I'd be grateful.
Don't get me started on Decante
However, I do remember Dawkins writing about how Plato's forms may have held back evolutionary theory.
Since people were more likely to think of animals such as a cat, having some ideal of "cat"
Rather than just being a transitional species in between one branch of an ever-growing evolutionary tree
With no real "ideal" animal
I've honestly found that philosophy is interesting as a historical reference of the mentality of scholars from particular time periods, as well as an idea of how political and scholarly principals formed throughout intellectual history.
I have a question for you.
Since you're 3/4ths through a whiskey bottle.
Do you understand what you just wrote?
i do
I do too, but does HE
hes clint eastwood
he can understand anything
lol
the niggas got punctuation
hes good
Give me an example of "political and scholarly principals" or define it, if you will.
I have a particularly ellegant form of writing when I'm speaking in an intellectual/philosophical form of speaking
principles or principals?
Good for you. My teachers have told me I am eloquent on my papers
TO answer your question, I would consider political principles ideological towards the way one must conduct themselves, or would suggest a collective of individuals to conduct themselves based on a specific ideology.
In regards to what would be considered 'Scholarly principals', I believe they would be defined as being ideas or concepts that are presented by an individual with intentions to be informative of one's conduct, but nonetheless up for debate to an intellectual community.
The Scholarly principals being what the current ideological movement was at the time you are setting this in?
Okay dude, let's tone down the eloquence and instead focus on being precise
but i was having fun
Ok then
The first one is 'Belive what I say, shitcunts'
And the other one is 'This is what I believe, shitcunts, have fun with it'
Also I understood what you said, it's just that so much of what you said was unecessary information.
For example
"but nonetheless up for debate to an intellectual community."
then whats the point of being eloquent xD
woohoo, im getting $311 dollars back from tax returns!!

So scrap it.
I'm getting $650 back from tax returns. Yay! I'll be able to pay off some debt
