Materialism & Determinism: 1:59:25 Free Will: 2:04:37 Morality and the Elements: 3:47:57 The Storm & the Self: 3:58:15 Get the book: http://www.fdrurl.com/EP Everything you do is philosophical. You wake in the morning, groan, stretch and open your eyes. What is happening? Everything that is happening is philosophical. How do you know you are awake? How do you know it is morning? How do you know your eyes are open? How do you know your dreaming has ended and your day has begun? How do you know your memories of yesterday – or ten years ago – are valid? How do you even know you are the same person as the one who got into bed last night? It gets even crazier, when you really think about it. How do you know that your “experience” is not in fact some elaborate simulation? Do you know for certain that you are not a brain in a tank, wired up to some Matrix-style virtual reality? Look at your hand right now. You see a hand, sure, but how do you know that the hand truly exists outside of your mind? Sure, you see your hand, but the image only shows up in your mind. It’s the same with your sensations of your hand – they also only show up in your mind. Where is the hand itself? Last night, in your dreams, you also had hands – or claws, or tentacles, or heaven knows what –that did not exist or move in what you call the “real world.” In your dreams, you visited a floating island full of dragons that does not exist outside your dreamscape – or does it? Perhaps your dreams are the real world, and your “waking” life is the dream. How can you know for certain? Perhaps the people you live with are mere avatars – artificial intelligence simulations of human beings. Perhaps they were all real people at some point, but have been replaced by space aliens with perfect biological robots. When you went to a movie last night, perhaps the entire cinema complex was a form of elaborate theatre – perhaps you were in a movie, watching a movie. What if you are created anew every day from scratch, but with a steady if inconsistent series of progressive memories layered into your newly hatched brain? What about your memory? Is it real? Recalled events are gone, lost in time; your memory only exists in your mind. What if you or something else is altering it over time? Think of your very first memory – is it real? Think of other early memories – could they have been created in your mind by stories you heard as a child? Try this on for size: go and visit your childhood neighbourhood. I guarantee you that it will neither look nor feel exactly as you remember it – and sometimes not even approximately, even if little has changed. Look at a picture of yourself as a child – where has that child gone? When you build a foundation for a hous ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eGGGwrXKUI

It may be because I am from Québec, but I am unable to provide an answer. I concluded that Canada is, in essence, legal fiction. It seems to me to be a country that exists on paper, but lacks any truly identifiable culture or people that unmistakably separates it from the rest of the western world. As nationalism is currently gaining strength throughout the world, how will this affect Canada? Will it lead to our country gaining some sort of identity of its own? Or will it lead to a splintering as regional identities take precedence? What will be the result of Canada's status of ‘first post-national state’ as the world goes through what will most likely be a major geopolitical shake-up in the coming decades?"

My best friends and I were friends for 10 years, I met them in college. I met my fiancé last year through an online dating website. He is a loyal, empathetic and good man. I uprooted from the states to Australia, where he is from, so we could live abroad together." "My girlfriends stopped being friends with me because I couldn't be in their weddings on account of moving abroad to develop a relationship with him. One of my friends also said she didn't like that I've changed and that I've become analytical, so she stopped being friends with me.” Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah." Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women. Mr. Trump stated, "Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again." Source Link: http://www.fdrurl.com/trump-muslim-immigration Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
