EBV vs. Parvo: What are your experiences? in Health ·
It looks like a combination. 😠 The parvovirus seems to be the primary driver here, and we’ve had a positive result from the IMg test.
The mortality rate is unfortunately quite high right now.😲
If anyone has any firsthand experience or clinical advice to share, I would truly appreciate it.🙂
And then there's the flu... most likely.

Can we coexist with Americans again? in Close to Politics ·
Thomas Martin2 said:Ramb, you actually have a whole thread dedicated to reciprocity.

We’re talking about a group consisting of about ten ministers, advisors, and various political figures, all holding some level of authority.

Look, once Israel produces its own versions of someone like Ante Soldo or even figures comparable to Puhovski and Goldstein over here, we won't be leaning on those external influences nearly as much.

What about Ante? Or Trumbić?

👎 Honestly, you're just being pathetically jealous.

William Gonzalez3 said:but I don't want to derail the conversation.
please, carry on with the discussion regarding consciousness.

I must admit, I also found myself playing around with the topic somewhat subconsciously.
My apologies to the author.🙂

Don't be quite so terrified of some "vengeful intellectuals."

Honestly, philosopher, that’s some top-tier encouragement right there! What a pillar of support you are!🙂

Sure thing... as long as I don't have to read the signature at the bottom.😁

Otto said:Well, anything goes at this point—even these silly little debates where people just scatter arguments all over the place, much like we saw back during our third year of college.

I'm not quite sure if you meant "on" the third year or "during" the third year, but I get the gist.🙂
As for me, I don't think there's even a manual for this kind of thing. Is there one out there? Honestly, life just throws things at you... and there's certainly nothing wrong with learning as you go.😁

(Olivia Carter25, this reminds me of a little fire starter... our charming boy William Gonzalez3 is basically the spark... it’s only polite to say thank you.🙂 )
Just for William Gonzalez3 👋

Lisa Ortiz2 said:Haha, maybe they’ll even issue us a certificate for this feat. Something like, "Successfully weathered the crossfire of logic on the Philosophy subforum and managed to survive." 😁 😁

Let's not lay our final intentions out on the table just yet.😳
Because if we don't survive, what are they going to write on our headstones?😁
Oh wait... they certainly know how to write those!🙂

As for the question of consciousness... we can certainly dive into that... but for the next ten days or so, I have enough work on my plate that I actually need to learn how to fly.
It is possible I might make a brief landing... (and no, I am not talking about a broomstick, why are you looking at me so suspiciously? 😳 )
so please bear with me.
Best regards.👋

Olivia Carter25 said:It’s such a shame, because I honestly feel like I could learn quite a lot from debating you. And if I’m going to step out into the line of fire, I might as well go all in...😁
But hey, if you aren't up for it, what choice do I have?

Well, Olivia Carter25, if you're planning on jumping into the fire, then count me in too—we can burn together. Just for the sake of solidarity... with you. 😳
But Olivia Carter25, it’s going to get pretty hot, and I’ll be looking to you to teach me how to keep my cool.
I assume you'll have some expert advice since you've already spent so much time standing in the middle of a philosophical blaze.
When I finally make it to paradise, I'll definitely be bragging about the fact that I survived the fires of hell myself! 😁

William Gonzalez3 said:After years of dedicated mental training and careful reflection, I finally feel equipped to provide a truly proper answer.

Well, let’s take a moment to examine what young William Gonzalez3 has learned and how he’s putting those lessons into practice:
It’s a bit of a bittersweet reality, isn't it? I often find myself thinking that I can't quite indulge in everything my heart desires, but I make sure to find immense joy in everything I am permitted to enjoy. It’s all about finding that sweet spot between desire and discipline.

I think I might have left you a bit turned around there. Let me try to clear things up by laying it all out visually for you.
I have to wonder: are you intentionally holding back your own courage? Are you letting fear dictate your moves because you’re worried that if you ever actually need a hand, no one will be there to lend it? It’s a heavy realization when you consider that you might have burned those bridges yourself by overstepping your bounds and breaking the trust people once had in you.
Or perhaps it’s that realization—that sense of clarity when you discover that being able to handle things on your own isn't always the ultimate victory. There are other ways to look at it, really. 😁
Or do you prefer to rely solely on your own strength?
I suspect you’re going to end up blending all those different elements together into one cohesive whole.🙂
Honestly, trying to swim in these conditions is a bit of a struggle. Could you toss me a life jacket?
The boundaries of our freedom are intrinsically linked to the borders of our own consciousness—or more accurately, the depth of our awareness.
I was actually just pondering this myself, and I would love to hear your take on it... specifically regarding the relationship between our consciousness and our subconscious.

William Gonzalez3 said:ahem...
what kind of knives are we talking about??

You certainly have a knack for figuring out what I enjoy.🙂Then you go ahead and charm me with such playful bravery. Honestly, you’ve completely knocked me off my feet. At this rate, you won't even need a knife.😁
You realize I was actually referring to language, right?🙂 To the power of words. You jump in so skillfully, blending imagery and vocabulary together... and I just can't seem to resist.😳

Though, I suppose some might argue that a "backstab" is just part of being a philosopher. But I don't think that's your style either.
I live for engaging communication—those moments where thoughts and words dance together.
Still... when it comes to a real battle, sometimes a knife is necessary.
As for mastering and wielding them? That sounds like a challenge for me. Unless, of course, you'd be willing to lend me yours?
And tell me, please... do you allow yourself to indulge in everything you love?
🙂

Olivia Carter25 says:>
Oh, come on now. You wouldn't just give up that easily, would you? 😁 😛

Olivia Carter25, as sweet as you sound, there is no way I’m letting you drag me under the knife of those philosophy experts.😁 It isn’t that I don’t trust them... it’s just that I don't hate myself quite that much.🙂>
I have plenty of fire when it comes to religion.
Why did I join? Because I am more than happy to read along.
I came here to unwind... because the debates are civilized and genuinely interesting... and I’ve only just started reading through everything.
Hmm... I wasn't trying to tear anything down... I was just teasing him... maybe I wanted him to be the one to humble me... in a philosophical sense. I can certainly laugh at my own expense. I really can. In that regard, it was a question of women. Just a reminder... that when it comes to philosophy... well, I don't know.
And regarding the point of your post?
Just take a look at what you wrote... my "flaw" is that I read very carefully... and you will see exactly where we disagree.
So, kudos to everyone. And my best regards to all.

Olivia Carter25 said:I wasn't referring to general consciousness (like the sensation of pain), but rather self-awareness. As far as I am aware, humans are the only ones who possess self-awareness. Or at least they should. 😉

Lisa Ortiz2, let’s try to become mindful of our own underlying motives and leave them out of this discussion 😉

Olivia Carter25 ...we were actually thinking about the exact same kind of consciousness...we just don't see eye to eye. So, where does that leave us?
That being said... I don't really want to comment on your specific post. I'll leave that to the actual experts.
Perhaps you felt a bit slighted... because I touched upon your opinion through someone else's perspective.
From what I could gather by reading his writing... he actually enjoys a good joke.
Based on that, you might assume I wasn't bothered by what you wrote, but was instead just looking for an excuse to poke a little fun at nn.
There you have it... my own personal motives. I felt obligated to lay them out here.🙂
And... Olivia Carter25, please, feel free to continue your argument on your own. It isn't always my cup of tea to be joking around every single day.
After all, philosophy is a serious business.😳

You’ve put together such an intriguing post here.
I truly appreciate your perspective on consciousness... I don't have a single doubt about it myself. My faith in God is steadfast.🙂
I know he didn't just mention consciousness by accident; he chose those words very deliberately,😁 and he isn't wavering one bit on that point.
Honestly, if he were uncertain, I wouldn't have even bothered replying.
Instead, I'm engaging with him a little bit, just playing the part of the supportive woman.
He can be quite formidable when he starts leaning into that masculine, philosophical side of himself.👋
Sending my best wishes to you, to him, and of course to Lali.

someone said somewhere:

''…that the less authentically human I am, the less aware I become.''
would there even be an argument?

Ah, freedom. 🙂 It seems to me that when a person’s awareness is narrowed—say, when they are consumed by rage, or perhaps just incredibly exhausted or intoxicated—they lose a bit of their freedom. Greater awareness equals greater freedom.


Good morning.🙂
I actually had to sleep on my response.......because last night, I might have even been a little angry...my interlocutors regarding religion really got under my skin. I suppose I confirmed your theory through practice rather than just theory...😁
Thank you for such a thorough and sincere reply.
No, there wouldn't have been an argument. It wouldn't have happened like this. I knew you were thinking correctly and that you wrote it that way intentionally.
I was teasing you a little...and if we were looking for a reason to argue...I could have found one in any direction.😁
That question you posed to me...that ethical dilemma...I have to admit...it's difficult for me to give a clear answer.
There wouldn't be an issue if I were absolutely certain that a person in a coma has no hope left.
I think I would be afraid...I would probably choose the person who isn't in a coma, and like most people, I would be left wondering...did I truly do the right thing?...though I’d cling to the hope that I did (that would be my justification).
My fear is driven by personal experience...because my child survived a coma...admittedly a short one, but more than enough to drive a decision...and they told me, only a miracle could save him.
Wow, you really backed me into a corner with that question!
Into a dilemma...I mean.

mistyfox812 said:Regarding those who act purely on instinctual stimuli without much awareness, I’d have to agree with you—those who lack consciousness are, in a sense, less "truly" present as people. [/B]


Actually, I find myself disagreeing with you there (though God knows I would love to be in agreement)😁
And I must admit, I feel a tiny bit of intellectual friction here... because I am finding myself opposing a philosopher.
Since philosophy is such a fascinating field to me—even if it remains largely uncharted territory—and since it seems to know me quite intimately (which, if I'm being honest, feels a bit unfair)😳 I think I’ll pose a small question to you, nn...
Tell me, can a person become "less" of a human being, especially if their state of consciousness is suddenly disrupted by something like a traumatic injury? In such a moment, does their inherent value diminish?
After all, aren't they still just as much a person to everyone around them, even if their ability to perceive or react is limited or gone? They are still a true human being... a "someone."
Then again, who can say how long or in what way that final spark of life continues to burn?
And when it eventually fades, the person wouldn't exist at all... yet before that, aren't they still a true human being, even if they lose all self-knowledge?

So, tell me, do you tend to favor women over philosophy... or philosophy over women?🙂
I didn't mean to push, but two questions slipped out! I suppose I could call these "women's topics," but please, feel free to label them whatever you like. (Ah, the beauty of freedom!)
