When most people advance such claims they are usually trying to claim that we're perceiving our perceptions vice an object.

I've never been able to get any philosopher to explain exactly how one would directly experience and observe reality without the use of a biological apparatus designed/evolved for the purpose of experiencing and observing reality.

Most likely because that statement sounds like "How can something detect without means of detection or means to parse what is detected".

I'm not trying to be snarky, but if there's some nuance I'm not capturing, I'd be interested in a reformulation of the idea.

Thanks for that. Sometimes I forget hip hop can be positive.

Here's Rittz. White rapper. Beast.

Yelawolf and Jelly Roll. Two other white rappers who can freestyle like you wouldn't believe. All three are from the South.

That's pretty impressive

Yelawolf is the only artist I know who can combine country and rap and not have it sound like a gimmick.

He had a way of not engaging arguments that was quite engaging.

Why does anyone feel the need to defend either position? Assume both cases. Come up with contingencies for both. Conduct an investigation into what happened.

Why wouldn't Russia want Trump to win?

What is the CIA's motive for publicly naming Russia?

I think these questions need to be answered before meaningful discussion can take place.

Can we get a zero to ten scale with these new names included?

In a time where celebrated mainstream rappers are lyrically and stylistically on par with ice jj fish and 50 tyson, fear not, there's always K-Rino.

First song I've heard by him. Got me to browsing his catalogue. He always brings the lyrics, complexity, and creativity.

And keep up the articles about parents cross-dressing their children. Its completely inspiring and beautiful and totally doesnt make the average person want to join ISIS.

What would you do if your child came to you with this problem?

I told you before and I'll say it again RP. This "victory" is an expression of inherent human weakness. For you to celebrate it is stupidity.

So winning is weakness now?


When pressing the button means winning crack to smoke, yes probably

Apropos of nothing: Saw the most recent Harry-Potter-movie-not-about-Harry-Potter.  More or less liked it, first because the protagonist is a Hufflepuff, and secondly because one of the reasons he wins is because he's nice.

Yes, escapist fantasies.  But I'll take it, for now.

It was quite nice. I found the space with the various habitats to be quite breathtaking. Very nice for the kids.

I think they should have made that certain character more magically impressive and dangerous seeming. I'm interested in seeing the next one with Dumbledore.

It was that or leave his post unedited and discredit RP which should have been the move
