    Good morning fellows :-)

     

    Been meaning to graft this for a while, any tips on where to cut or anything else I should know as I've never grafted astrophytum before.

    I will use t. Pachanoi as root stock.

     

    Cheers in advance!

    I'm not sure pornography is healthy at all, not that I am against it though... No matter how 'tasteful' it might be, it creates an unrealistic image of sexuality-

    If it is love/intimacy you crave i think that porn will only exacerbate the situation- it is definitely healthy to masturbate, but why do you want to include porn again? I cant see continuing without it being a problem....

    The sexual gratification is the same with or without the visual aid? probably more complete without now I think about it.

    I personally view porn too much and believe it adds to my own sexual frustration. (daily user)

     

    as for healthy limits.... if its not negatively impacting your life, or those around you, its all good yeah??

    I rest my case. Truth is the exact opposite of what you're implying. We think in words, we intellectualise in words. We would be nothing without language

     

    what you're talking about is not knowledge... that's why you need animals and babies as an example.. 

     

    what you're saying is still sophist and wishful thinking.. 

     

    Human evolve through language and I am so sorry you cannot see that. 

     

    Well, it really helps to use more than 500 words though... Knowledge is not about feeling or believing , knowledge is a system where theory is according to actions. Knowledge is not necessarily about knowing why simply because sometimes we dont know why.. But we can predict an outcome. Through logic. 

     

    If your ideas were really something , you would be able to argue with some better/ real point on human beings, not dogs, nor newborns... 

     

    Hey sagi, of course we think in words, I agree and this is why I think humans are stuck, as our language doesnt evolve.... And I can see that humans have evolved through language, so please dont be sorry for me. 

    I dont agree though that we would be nothing without language, certainly not as we are now, but surely not nothing.... 

    Dont get too hung up on what I've said here, I am not attached in anyway to the topic and have not put in the time to formulate any real ideas I was simply illustrating how knowing may not be intellectual, I used the examples of babies and animals because it exists and made sense in my mind- I had no means of making other examples, but i will try and come up with something at some stage...

    If you take the literal meaning from a dictionary I suppose you are right, knowing is an adjective and has a clearly defined meaning, agreed upon by many clever people, but there are so many words used to define that word it gets so confusing because it is all so subjective!

     

    SAGIX, do you think plants and animals have consciousness or awareness? I know it is not measurable scientifically, but i think they do :-) I think that awareness and consciousness would give any life form (known or otherwise) the ability to 'know'. I'm not sure why I come to this conclusion, but if knowledge cannot exist outside of our language framework I am certainly on the wrong track......

     

    @Yeti101 great post, thanks.

    Well language is somewhat trivial to me, in the sense that it is limiting our ability to evolve intellectually, however that is another discussion. My point was more to try and illustrate that knowing and intellect are independent- and although you think that the infant doesn't know shit (from your perspective through comparison??), it is still knowing none the less. Another example would be changing behaviour in mice with electric shock experiments, the mice knows how NOT to get the shock through repetition rather than an intellectually formed decision.

    If I want to fuck a girl I experience that desire, I know I want to because the urge exists and seems real to me- and so a horse wants to mate, he knows he wants to, so he does it, he doesnt intellectually analyse why tho, it just happens- for me on the other hand, I have the cognitive ability question that desire, refine my behaviours to increase my chances etc- that would be in my opinion the intellectual aspect.... so yes, less sophist ;-)

    In any case, knowing is based on intellect, and not even emotions. 

    If wanna argue how emotions and instincts are form of knowing, lets hear it. 

    Any arguement must have a rational base.. 

     

     

     

    I'll have a quick go-

    Knowing is not based on intellect in my opinion, intellect is the ability to process information, problem solve etc I can be hungry, and know that I am hungry without needing to understand why I am hungry, The only aspect of that (or any of the other examples of love, anger etc) I need intellect for is to process the language/communication part of that, hunger however exists even without that language label.An infant will cry until it is fed, it lives and experiences that hunger, it knows hunger.

    Good job man, I know the feeling, I too removed myself from Facebook quite some time ago and felt it was a positive move for me.......

    However about a month ago I created a new account to join a specific group, strictly no friends, just cruising so i can buy huanshuma's seeds  drool!

    I know my labor union won't run windoze 10 due to key logging.

    I haven't run windows in  about 10 years.

    Friends don't let friends run windoze.

     

    BTW I'm a Linux snob.

    Off topic q sorry halycon...

     

    What's the best Linux distro these days @cue ?

    I am looking to run it again as my only requirement for windows is my audio hardware/software which I run with no network anyway... What's the best automated install from bootdisk?? Is mandrake still good?

    I will let this grow as is now that it is growing roots, and in a few years I will use for grafting root stock if all goes well. Ordinarily I would graft something like that if I was trying to keep it..

    Grafting is super easy, especially with things this size. give it a crack ;-)

    I've found tiny pups I've discarded root after a long time so it is possible, to increase chances keep warm and dry out of direct sun.

     

    Grafting will speed things up a great deal, even.if you root it it will take and eon to grow ;-)
