People of limited means and without credit will not be able to make this initial outlay. Until ereaders are financially available to the increasing poor class in this country, physical books will not go out of style. the nook now requires a wifi connection to buy books. This is an additional disincentive for the poor, whose imaginations could most profit from the reading of sci fi and fantasy.BarbieAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786493042725748494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171406441422193306.post-82842321662303443512014-05-04T21:31:06.415-07:002014-05-04T21:31:06.415-07:00Right on, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I have ...I agree with many of the answers you have.<br />I have slightly different answers for some of the questions because all humans think slightly differently I suppose. I'll list the ones I would have different answers for and my answers below:<br /><br />Number 8: "Are you a materialist or a physicalist or what?" None of the above as far as I am aware, the only category I place myself in is "I am a skeptic". I may or may not fit into other categories.<br /><br />Number 17: "Do we have any purpose as human beings?" To reproduce is the only objective natural goal one could point to, anything else is subjective and everyone gets to decide that for themselves as well as being able to change it every second of every day if they want to! <br /><br />Number 19: "Where does morality come from?" Ethics! (And Ethics come from humans)<br /><br />20: "Are there moral absolutes?" Loaded question, can't answer it the way it is phrased. Ethics requires people be able to ask questions to make morals in the first place, so the only "absolute" would not be found in morals but in ethics, thus in there would be the absolute "you must be able to ask questions"<br /><br />21: "If there are moral absolutes, could you list a few of them?" Can't, have to have ethics first. Requirement is to be able to ask questions. (see above)<br /><br />22. "Do you believe there is such a thing as evil? If so, what is it?" The movie Last Airbender, and my mother-in-law. (drum shot) seriously, Privation is "evil" in the way I think of what "evil" is.<br /><br />23. "If you believe that the God of the Old Testament is morally bad, by what standard do you judge that he is bad?" Ordering people killed by throwing stones isn't NICE or JUST, it makes no sense to do this when there are other options at hand. Rather then harming said humans, what about rehabilitation, what about just teleport them somewhere else? The God of the OT (and new) are Gods that are not very smart Gods, and there ethics are unclear and thus there morality is unclear and seems rather barbaric, I make this analysis in the best way I can using logic.<br /><br />28: "Do you believe in free will (free will being the ability to make choices without coersion)?"<br /><br />I try to not believe in anything. I have no idea if we have free will or not, I will go wherever the evidence leads and be skeptical about free will until there is a scientific conclusion on the matter. It SEEMS like I can make arbitrary choices, but bleep if I know if that is real or illusion, brain science will resolve such an issue if it can. <br /><br />30: "If you affirm evolution and that the universe will continue to expand forever, then do you think it is probable that given enough time, brains would evolve to the point of exceeding mere physical limitations and become free of the physical and temporal and thereby become “deity” and not be restricted by space and time? If not, why not? How does one lead to the other?"<br /><br />Bleep if I know. I guess if you want to make the case that god evolved from something like humans this would be the way to go, Mormons seems to think this is the case, but this is all speculative, do you have any evidence that this has happened or do you have some way to show it can happen?<br /><br />31: "If you answered the previous question in the affirmative, then aren’t you saying that it is probable that some sort of God exists?" Anything logically possible, is possible, what you lack here is an argument that it is possible, rather then it "might/could be" possible, where is the data to back up that it IS possible, where is the argument? Without any argument, I dismiss this question.<br /><br />Logical Lobsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198925908914939025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171406441422193306.post-37905200823370241952014-04-23T14:51:27.683-07:002014-04-23T14:51:27.683-07:00Chris.

I like the that each Haiku is part of a cohesive whole; cohesion was something I always found lacking in Traditional Haiku, and I didn't really like that.
