Well I did say it grows very quickly waaayyy early in the thread when I first posted myself. Still letting it grow out though. Not sure how long I want it though, just longer than this lol. What kinda dog? =I

The needy one's a beagle mutt.  Her picture is here someplace.

Both of them have pics in the dog thread.

 

 

It has kittens!! Gimme!

 

Oh dear, I did it again. Say sorry to her for me. I always call every dog a he even if I've been told they're a she. I do it all the time at work and the owners get annoyed. It must be because I've never had a female dog and my mind keeps thinking they're all male. 

 

 

Edit: WAIT a minute!!! You called him a he in your other post!! Now I'm confused!!

I feel like this confusion can be easily rectified.  It's not like we're talking about gerbils here.

Edit: Ha!  mystery solved.

Haha, no. Mine.

 

I did?

 

Was I drunk?

 

F***.

 

I meant she on that then lmao.

 

Go home Heather, you're drunk! But not before you give me some bunny bread and your shirt.

Haha now that you mention gerbils. I had two gerbils that were given to me as being males. Wake up one morning and there's babies everywhere. That's the last time I trust someone without checking myself first.

 

I did end up keeping 4 of them. They were my 4 musketeers; D'Artagnan, Porthos, Aramis, and Athos.

Worked out. Got tired. Had a nap. Dreamed during nap. Relatively happy dream had an interestingly sappy ending. Woke up with wet eyes.

 

Comes here. Sees gerbil talk. Or dog talk. Or Heather is drunk talk. Not sure. Realizes this is par for the course.

 

All is back to normal.  :lol:

He's right, you know.  That's really your department.

If I made a thread it would be about something boring and unfunny that no one likes, like knitting or medicaid's stupid rules.

Make our own threads? I've got a few (bad) ideas on that:

 

  • Do we have free will?
  • Why do we appreciate tragedy in art?
  • Is knowledge stake-sensitive?
  • Must we bring about the greatest good for the greatest number?

 

No takers? Oh well, I'll just be in this corner over here if any of you need me. *shuffles out of the room*

I'll take "Are there times injustice is justified?" or "Coconuts: Why do people put it on food?"

-Yes.  Stop trying to pretend your problems are out of your control.

Why do we appreciate tragedy in art?

- Because it makes us feel better about ourselves.  We're all mean girls at heart.

Is knowledge stake-sensitive?

- I first read this as "snake-sensitive," which makes equally as much sense to me as what is actually typed.  Way over my pay grade.

Must we bring about the greatest good for the greatest number?

- No. Because we have free will (see above).  YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!!!

 

Philosophy made easy!

Not that easy, I guess.  ;) Anyways, stake sensitivity is the idea that whether or not you know that a statement is true can depend in part on what is at stake for you; evidence that would be good enough for you to know something in low stakes situations may not be good enough for you to know that thing in higher stakes situations. This contrasts with philosophical orthodoxy in a variety of ways too boring for me to explain right now.

 

Anyways, let's address the real hard questions. I'll start with one originally raised by Colin Mochrie, the great Canadian philosopher: How does food become poo?

Oh. I thought it was the quantity of knowledge we have about killing vampires.

Wait, what?  You lost me here.  Either something is true or it isn't. 

What I think I know about it doesn't change reality.  Theory of Mind, man.

The statement "The Bunz outside of my house with a telescopic lens camera right now" is just as false as "I have enough milk for my cereal in the morning"

Or is this a Schrodinger's cat situation? 

Either way, I'm gonna have to put almond milk on my cereal or else make oatmeal.

I think Jorji's saying that sometimes even something obviously evident isn't good enough to be true when something is at high stakes.

 

I sense a connection with clinical situations here.

Well then that seems like a psychological issue, not a philosophical one.

How do people behave when stakes are high?  And isn't that basically the point of poker?

I'll put this in a spoiler tag so it doesn't clutter up the thread too much:

Hope that helps! I'm more than happy to answer any further questions about this, but it might be best to PM me; this might not be the best thread to continue this conversation.

Well, when stakes are high, we do want to have more rigorous tests to know that what we hypothesize stands as poor knowledge leads to unacceptable error. Like knowing that the rest of the players in a poker tournament attempt to display as few cues about their hand as possible, you would try to scrutinize someway that what you observe is true.

 

But, I'll let Jorji explain as I'm probably ****** up explaining the concept.

If you are being attacked by vampires, your stake-sensitivity about stake knowledge would be very high.

Okay.  I didn't fully understand the distinction between knowledge and truth.  So when you say that "whether or not you know that a statement is true can depend in part on what is at stake for you" you are referring to knowledge and not truth, even though both concepts are present in the phrase, right?

I think I'm back on board, but I've had 2 glasses of wine.  Who knows if I'm too drunk or not drunk enough for this conversation.

I was actually referring to the cognitive psych principle of how we ascribe mental states to other people.  Children usually develop it around 3-4 years of age (at least as measured by the Sally-Anne Test, which differentiates what you know from what others know and forces a child to recognize that other people can hold false beliefs). 

 

I'd be more that happy to talk all day about what you put in the spoiler tags though.

I'd share my immune system if I could.

 

Important question, friends:  Is this hat stupid?

Spoiler

I like that it has a wide brim to keep the sun off my face when I'm outside, but I don't want to look like hipster dbag.

Thoughts?

 

The hat fits you, but you need the right outfit to go with it.

 

What that would be, I have no idea. 

 

I just bought a cat from the animal shelter. 3 months old, female, dark as the darkest night, even the skin on her paws is jet black. I gave her the name ''Shade'' for obvious reasons. She seems super intelligent and very calm.  :)

That cat is planning on killing you.

 

You can see it in it's eyes.

I was originally going to say something about this, but then I remembered that cognitive psych wasn't something I was particularly interested in.

 

So that kills that info dump.

I think I am going to make System Shock 2 walkthrough/analysis videos. Storytelling in games is something that bugs me with so-called critics in the media knowing precisely f*ck all about it, and SS2 is probably the best told story I've played. So yeah.

I dunno. Maybe like all my other ideas, this'll fizzle out too. But I needed something to say to bump this up back to page 1.

New project sounds good though.  Maybe not quite as much fun as killing fellow BSNers in a dungeon, but a good use of time.

Wait but the best stories aren't told.  They're shown through an immersive multimodal  experi... yeah, I lost steam on that line of crap before I could get to the end.
