What is it like to be a human being?

[dan020350]

I was wonder this morning about how the body works.

There was a question that I cannot answer which is how it it possible to move our bodies? Is it pure thought? Or the brain, but who is sending the information to it?

At the end I came up with an answer:

"The individual doesn't evil know he exists" from that answer I was completey dead!

We can move our bodies because God designed them to do so at the behest of our brains. As well, high school biology or Anatomy and Physiology explains the process of our brains' communication with the body pretty well.

I'm pretty certain I exist and that you do too. Sorry about the realization that you're dead; perhaps a little coffee might do the trick. Works for ime n similar situations.

I do exist, but at the same time I cannot possibly know I exist. That was really the comment.

You think (kind of) therefore you are, dan.

[dan020350]

and we are back to descartes

[cuppajoe_9]

That's also where we started.

how can you know you don't exist if you don't exist?
which entity is it that is doing the 'not knowing' if you don't exist?

oops, got your question wrong...
well, you seem to be quite sure you exist...
if you cannot possibly konw you exist you might just as well assume you do, seing as it's as good an option as assuming you don't exist.. then work from that assumption.

Let push the merry goaround one more time.

Like the article of NEgal" What is it like to be bats?" ( we can only know what they behave but not the actual experience)

But for us, we are human beings and we don't know ourselves.

The problem: Is methods, culture, society, and education blinds us?

[SleepyWitch]

er, you lost me there.
let's stick with one problem at a time?

[Pendragon]

Um, shouldn't this be in the Philosophy section? And is not being a human being simply a state of mind, an area of thought that we assign to ourselves? I mean, we might easily suppose ourselves to be nigh hairless apes with funny feet, correct? Or children of some master race that seeded the stars with their prodigy? Creations of an all-powerful God, created in His likeness? It has been postulated before. Who is to say who is correct? We think we have the answers but then we were the ones who came up with the questions. And most of the research is done with a pre-conceived result in mind, that there could exit another answer is passed off as madness. So are we right or wrong? To be human is to be inquisitive, to seek what one doesn’t know, to search for answers to what one doesn’t or cannot understand. That sums us up pretty well, I think. Man: The Imaginative Dreamer, Whose Longing Is Never Fullfiled.

*What's it like to be a human being?*

I don't know. I'm not human. (-;

As for existence...

I know I exist, but am also aware that it is possible that I died and went to Hell, and nobody bothered telling me.

I guess I'm having a hard time with the hypothesis and conclusion drawn from it.

[dan020350]

This was a philosophy thread until it got kicked out from a bias moderator, damn those patriarch authorities!!!!!!!

Countess that is exactly I was asking , you are a human being, yet you do not know who you really are because you have lost touch with nature, reality, the orignal.

[kilted exile]

damn those patriarch authorities!!!!!!!


hehehe, you do realise only one of the 5 mods is male? hardly a patriarchal authority

[papayahed]

Yeah, Why would you assume a patriarchal authority?

I am telling you, honestly, more knowledge women have the more dangerous they become. That is why I never crictcize my feminist teacher, she will eat me alive. (Just as I critcized feminist in that one day.)

the human being is strange when it demands equaility. ( the adam and eve story- Lilliath)

or more knowledge women acquires - it shows up men's inadequacies?
