    Descartes and dualism

    I am really concerned about the lack of high quality posts on this board. At one time it was a dynamic and stimulating place with contractors displaying intellect, verve and profound insight. Now it seems to occupied by a bunch of baboons baring their bottoms.

    To raise standards I would like to discuss Descartes and dualism. How does one separate the mind from the body and is this really possible ? I am particularly interested in the chinese room paradox - does this prove the Turing Test is insufficient for determining intelligence.

    If you don't know what I am talking about just keep your head firmly planted up your ar*e.

    Simply travel by tube or bus regularly in London and it's just a matter of time...

    PS. Nothing wrong with baboons bottoms. Just ask Xog.

        dualism is flawed fatally

        In brief.

        I cannot doubt that I exist.

        I can doubt that my body exists.

        Therefore, I am distinct from my body.


        Total rubbish. One cannot exist without a body.
        It's just a stupid game of semantics.

        Next.

        Why not?

            How come your bottom is so similar to Spod's?
            Is there something you two aren't sharing with us?
            Why not?

                We had bottom lifts by the same surgeon.

                  These are the sort of juvenile reponses that substantiate my point. The stuff on here is banal drivel, I am really wasted on you lot. The baboons on here should get back to their bananas and leave the intellectual high ground to those with moral fortitude. There are only a couple of people here I respect: Chico for his religious convection and Sandy for her big jugs.
