Hilfe. Falsche Spracheneinstellungen.

SFWoman,

Wünschen Sie ein Bier?

I can understand and make simple sentences. My vocabulary is too small. That’s always been my problem.

My french vocabulary is only big enough for me not to order four soups.

Babelog.

CG, wine is good for you.

I'm still waiting for the arcane reference to both Nietzsche and Goedels in the same comment. Turn your script back on, much more fun.

A combination of Gödel and Göebel.

Perhaps the incompleteness theorm is all propaganda.

I like to think that all races ought to be equal. I am a "speciesist" though.

If so, what makes you think that a wolf doesn’t think the same way?

A wolf does not think.

That is very presumptuous.

Perhaps. The wolf is welcomed to disprove my claim on this blog.

If our model of the brain based on interconnection of neurons is correct, the human brain is a Turing Machine.

I think the brain is responsible for sensary and motor functions. The brain can process information. But it cannot think.

Thought requires the psyche.

I think that anyone who has ever watched a pack of animals hunt can see that they think.

When they start wondering why they are hunting, they are thinking. Or should I say free-thinking.

Self-awareness could not possibly have come from evolutionary processes.

It’s tough to explain.

It is impossible to explain. Most children have better self-awareness and are better free-thinkers because they are not exposed to science yet.

It is sad that our intuition is highly suppressed in today's world.

It looks like elephants can recognize themselves in mirrors, is that thought?

No. It can only be shown that elephants appear to recognize themselves in mirrors.

We should be cautioned that science is an excellent propaganda tool. Many activists are dying to show that animals are sentient beings.

Sheesh, CG gets called a trollbot for touching on too many topics, but try as I might, my comments on Japanese kitchen knifes and obscure plant hunters gets no more than an occasional nod from SP and Peter P.

I feel neglected - I'm a baaaad trollbot.

I feel neglected - I’m a baaaad trollbot.

Don't feel neglected... we all love you.

CG is real enough, I'm pretty sure Randy H is just teasing. I still don't comprehend the Fudan to Yale comparison, but his oddities sound real enough to me.

Perhaps I'm more forgiving to CG because I think in similar pathways. I'm pretty sure I have undiagnosed ADD...

Muggy,

Is that ASCII code? I am too lazy to decipher.

It reads in ascii

'Knock it the fuck off, ouyay eeksgay'

Perhaps I’m more forgiving to CG because I think in similar pathways.

Funny, I think the same way.

I wish I was better at languages, then I'd take a stab at Gaelic...

Did you mean Garlic?

What was this thread about again?

"Did you mean Garlic?"

Only when I sight Dick Cheney in the horizon...

Peter P was captured on film at a blog party, so we have to assume he is indeed fueled by sushi and arugula.

You all need to tune in to the forsakencraft radio show on the air now. Will be interviewing Casey Serin live...yes I know you all want to hear what that weasle has to say.

LOL!

But honestly, he sounds quite like quite a few Shanghai born guys I know.

He must be built for a pretty specialized market.

Oh yeah, Peter P is totally a foodbot, here to spread misinformation about astrology and vegetarians. He was probably produced by the sushi restaurant association in an effort to get people to pay $9 for a bite of fish.

(I computed that I just contradicted what I said 3 comments ago -- time to shut down and reboot)

GC, let me read that. Thanks for writing.

I once tried - and failed - to pick a “fight” with him. It seems he even has a prime directive built in!

What is the point of fighting?

"What is the point of fighting?"

I don't know. Nowadays I just fight to make a point or create a tactical advantage or relieve boredom. It's hard to get enthusiastic about anger anymore. I think I spent all my anger and outrage on GOP circa 2000 to 2005.

I find people who embrace dumbness to be rather hypnotic. Maybe they're the ones who achieved enlightenment - not through knowledge but through complete emptiness.

I don’t like videos that cast people in dumb light. It’s just very mean.

I think the video link was directed towards me. Actually, it was quite funny. My wife may agree that I look like that sometime. :)

In my case, I am mostly moved by tragedies.

Same here!

But I also love dark comedies like Dr. Strangelove.

From tragedies, we can feel the deepest emotions concerning human weeknesses.

I envy linear thinkers...my boyfriend claims that he only thinks about problems on hand - apparently my mental habit of flowing from food to the economics of club DJs past the age of 35 to bad Goth novels is not a universal pattern.

Perhaps if I was a more disciplined thinker, I would be rich (or gained an avocation to catch a rich man) already.

I find most good tragedies to be quite funny and all good comedies to be quite touching (that includes Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back - yes to good comedy and yes to touching).

glad you weren’t offended

It is not easy to offend me.

I do too. I think/worry too much. :(
