    lol, i just noticed this part of the thread!! if you follow this logic, it seems that philosophy itself would not be philosophical, as it studies the proper way for a human to think- a result of the mind- a physical/biological object. that's why i regard materialism to be so absurd. (mysticism is NOT the only alternative...)

    That was my point exactly, finally someone with a sense of humour AND intelligence.

    You are a bringer of love Beb! No need to be humble, see intelligence is a virtue not a vice. Sometimes it just takes someone else intelligent to sanction it. Have you read the story of Promethius, the mythological character who brought fire to civilization- and they thanked him by tying him to a stone and condemning him to be eaten alive by birds for eternity? They decided to go ahead and use the fire afterall though. People are like that sometimes?
