Yes, consciousness and free will is still a major logical problem for materialist deterministic philosophies. The second book explains Epicurean ethics and the infamous "atomic swerve". (This is widely considered to represent the chief weakness of Epicurean thought. In an attempt to rescue a sovereign human will from the determinism of Democritus, he postulated the strange notion of uncaused swerves in streams of atoms.) This has been proven wrong by science: this world has endured for an infinite time Now this is a funny thing for a San Francisco liberal to point out: . Homosexuality had been becoming increasingly widespread in Greek society for some centuries. By the time of the death of Alexander the Great, the celebrated cultural norm among the citizenry was a pattern of older married man and youthful male lover(s) -- with a wife who was relegated to the role of mere household manager and child rearer. EPICURUS had become convinced that the predominance of homosexual relations in his era was beginning to destroy the value of, and the very possibility for, authentic friendship among men.11 He also believed that it was the chief cause of his culture' downgrading of the female. Are you saying there's something wrong with homosexuality Mars? Do find it's degrading San Fran like Epicurus said it did ancient Greece? Epicurus the homophobe. Don't tell X. She'll have to change her SI name again.
