Burying is fine by me.

By me to;just don't do it on my post AnnaG.

This is pretty boring material.

So why are you even go into my threads AnnaG ?
Just a little advice ; an intelligent person doesn't know what "boring" is .
So definitely you are in a wrong place .

lmao An intelligent person is intelligent enough to know what boring is. Boring: synonym = tedious, uninteresting.
Why do I read some of your threads? Because sometimes you say the funniest stuff.

Well let me say it again : an intelligent person is too busy running his life( LIVING)to be unproductive and bored, and even if he would find him self in a tedious , uninteresting situation an intelligent man caries enough creative energy within him that he can turn that negative situation into an "event of the Year".Intelligent man is positive and creative being .
Those familiar with a "boring " life" are the ones who believe that the world owes them a living, those who sit on their ass watch tv , drink beer and collect welfare . But you knew that already ,right AnnaG ?....gee,sometimes you say the funniest stuff.

I agree china, and I have in the past had quite the chats with my children
and later my grandchildren because kids often talk of being bored, and hang
their lip, and think the world is awful.
I tried many times to show them how to get past that, as it is a waste of their
time on this earth, to sit around whining about boredom, find a way past that
feeling and build yourself something interesting to do, and boredom is their
own thing, caused by themselves, and it is their responsibility to end it, not
someone elses.
Even a child has the capability when sitting in a class they find boring, to
use their brain and imagination and creativity to make something out of
what they consider nothing.

Thank you for sharing with my point of view ,Talloola .

What happens when you accept something, when you accept what you are? When you accept that you are what you are, what is the problem? There is a problem only when we do not accept a thing as it is and wish to transform it - which does not mean that I am advocating contentment; on the contrary. If we accept what we are, then we see that the thing which we dreaded, the thing we called boredom, the thing we called despair, the thing which we called fear, has undergone a complete change. There is a complete transformation of the thing of which we were afraid ; try it .
Thanks talloola .

Actually, she doesn't get bored often or for very long. As soon as she loses interest in something, she moves on. Yet I see you are still here posting the same old pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-philosophical, sometimes unintelligible verbal diarrhea. And she's right, you do say the funniest stuff sometimes, but even babies can do that.

Anyway, you said, "The emotions come into being through stimuli". And then you say it's obvious. Well, you are right. It is obvious.
But then you start asking the silly questions: "What roles have emotions in life? Are emotions life? You understand? Is pleasure love? Is desire love? If emotion is love, there is something that changes all the time. Right?But you all know that, ?"

And "What,s your point of view ?"
Humans have emotions and they drive people to do what they do. Simple as that.
Then you elaborate

_I have stated that ..."the moment you come to a conclusion as to what intelligence is, you cease to be intelligent",and I have also given a reason and facts why you stop being intelligent , Dexter .
So, in your infinity wisdom ,please explain why is this statement "silly"?

You go on a fair bit about intelligence as if you know what it is, but obviously you can't or you'd have ceased to be intelligent, right? Intelligence is the capacity for learning, comprehending, understanding, reasoning, and other such mental activities. That's my conclusion, so I guess I must be suddenly unintelligent now, right?

The statement is silly because it logically leads to such absurd non sequiturs as those two. I might expect such a statement from a first year philosophy major who's been hitting the bong too much, but you should know better at your age.

I'd be interested to have your take on the following two paragraphs. They're the introduction to a much longer article.

There are many natural scientists, and especially physicists, who continue to reject the notion that the disciplines concerned with social and cultural criticism can have anything to contribute, except perhaps peripherally, to their research. Still less are they receptive to the idea that the very foundations of their worldview must be revised or rebuilt in the light of such criticism. Rather, they cling to the dogma imposed by the long post-Enlightenment hegemony over the Western intellectual outlook, which can be summarized briefly as follows: that there exists an external world, whose properties are independent of any individual human being and indeed of humanity as a whole; that these properties are encoded in ``eternal'' physical laws; and that human beings can obtain reliable, albeit imperfect and tentative, knowledge of these laws by hewing to the ``objective'' procedures and epistemological strictures prescribed by the (so-called) scientific method.

But deep conceptual shifts within twentieth-century science have undermined this Cartesian-Newtonian metaphysics; revisionist studies in the history and philosophy of science have cast further doubt on its credibility; and, most recently, feminist and poststructuralist critiques have demystified the substantive content of mainstream Western scientific practice, revealing the ideology of domination concealed behind the façade of ``objectivity''. It has thus become increasingly apparent that physical ``reality'', no less than social ``reality'', is at bottom a social and linguistic construct; that scientific ``knowledge", far from being objective, reflects and encodes the dominant ideologies and power relations of the culture that produced it; that the truth claims of science are inherently theory-laden and self-referential; and consequently, that the discourse of the scientific community, for all its undeniable value, cannot assert a privileged epistemological status with respect to counter-hegemonic narratives emanating from dissident or marginalized communities. These themes can be traced, despite some differences of emphasis, in Aronowitz's analysis of the cultural fabric that produced quantum mechanics; in Ross' discussion of oppositional discourses in post-quantum science; in Irigaray's and Hayles' exegeses of gender encoding in fluid mechanics; and in Harding's comprehensive critique of the gender ideology underlying the natural sciences in general and physics in particular.

Thanks talloola .

Yeah, I totally accept what and who I am, and find each day exciting, as we
are fortunate 'just' to be able to walk this great earth, so I don't ask anything
from myself 'but' what makes me happy and content.

Material things are just that, 'things', not important for happiness.

Most fears I had when very young dissapeared long ago, there is no dispair,
and the only thing I am afraid of 'still', is the dentist.;-)

With an attitude like that, boredom never comes, ever, ever.

Thanks China, I enjoy your posts, can't find the words to answer some of them,
but I do understand them, and it makes one think.
You come to us from a different direction, and that is OK.
And I do realize you aren't 'telling' us how 'to' think, just 'asking' us how 'we' think
and want to see feedback.

A fool can become educated ,a fool can preform " mental activities " but it is still a fool who performs these activities though now he is an "educated fool".

That's my conclusion, so I guess I must be suddenly unintelligent now, right?

A very intelligent conclusion .

Everybody is a slave to their emotions and the ones who can’t cope with it find others to feed off.

Religious organizations are always looking for lost souls because they give the most.

Emotions can make you or break you.

Emotions are the major cause of people jumping in front of the subway.

We just have to remember that emotions is a state of mind that can be controlled and it is better that you control it before another person controls it.

Knowledge vs intelligence

There is a distinction between intellect and intelligence. Intellect is thought functioning independently of emotion, whereas intelligence is the capacity to feel as well as to reason; and until we approach life with intelligence, instead of intellect alone, or with emotion alone, no political or educational system in the world can save us from the toils of chaos and destruction.
Knowledge is not comparable with intelligence, knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not marketable, it is not a merchandise that can be bought with the price of learning or discipline. Wisdom cannot be found in books; it cannot be accumulated, memorized or stored up. Wisdom comes with the abnegation of the self. To have an open mind is more important than learning; and we can have an open mind, not by cramming it full of information, arriving at conclusions but by being aware of our own thoughts and feelings, by carefully observing ourselves and the influences about us, by listening to others, by watching the rich and the poor, the powerful and the lowly. Wisdom does not come through fear and oppression, but through the observation and understanding of everyday incidents in human relationship

A very intelligent conclusion .

lol An intelligent person could figure out the difference between a question and a conclusion. You failed.

 

[AnnaG]

Knowledge is simply data. Intelligence is the ability to learn, understand, reason, and think in the abstract. It's also the ability to express one's views in a concise and clear method. Intellect is "n. the faculty of reasoning and understanding objectively, esp. with regard to abstract or academic matters" according to Oxford's dictionary.And Oxford says intelligence is“The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.”
