Re: Schizophrenia - A Case Study ...
definitions of "disease" and "illness"? I think that having clear definitions of what these things are exactly, as well as who should/will create these definitions, and how and why these definitions are what they are, is of vital importance to these issues. I concur. Disease: a ...

Re: There's a gene for moods?
A 3-4 year old is not responsible for his actions. Your mom was wrong. It was not your fault. She says that I was bad because I was born with something wrong with me. They're Catholic: possessions, etc... Who knows. Sounds like a chicken-and-egg thing. Yeah, back then, your parents should have been...

My mind is broken in ways that may or may not be beneficial, depending on how you look at them. Were you also diagnosed with something? I didn't know.

Re: There's a gene for moods?
Being a parent is being an instructor, with the child as the self-grading test of your teaching skills. That's exactly what I've been telling my parents for years. For instance, my mom thought that she could convince me that I was born bad by telling me that when my sister was born after coming hom...

Re: Schizophrenia - A Case Study ...
No, but I understand what you mean by things having more emotional import when it is personal. So it wouldn't go from being a disease in an anatomical textbook to being a death sentence? I find that hard to believe. Have you ever heard about cancer patients that become cured without going through t...

Re: There's a gene for moods?
A parent should, by definition presented as spiritual friend, be a friend to the child, but the reverse would not always be true. A child will test limits, and should be able to test them on a parent. Part of the parent's job is to correct and redirect the child. Being a parent is being an instruct...

A) Strong morals. Honestly, I'd rather have a good dummy for a friend, then an intelligent criminal. By that I meant to show you how much morals mean to me.

I don't buy your trick of trying to separate yourself from your ego and then putting the blame onto it for all of your indiscretions and faults. David, if I decide to work through a mathematics problem – is it consciousness without the ego that's trying to get the answer or is it I (the ego)? How a...

I guess this means that I'm an idealist? Anyway, I prefer people who get emotional (I'm probably using this...

Re: Child Abuse
Child abuse can be emotional, psychological or physical. A parent saying "Don't talk back" and "Respect your elders" with authoritarian zeal is abusing their child, IMO. That's nothing comparatively. I really don't see a problem with it. Because - for one - that child can cause ...

Re: Unconsciousness as a threat to the Species
Question: can one feel physical pleasure without an emotional involvement? There is always that possibility, and some forms of pleasure still have that potential. Which forms of pleasure do not? It is almost as if an experienced philosopher who has abided in emptiness for some time isn’t as devastat...
