So is it the case that if you put a human through the Turing Test and they failed, they are no longer sentient? We then turn off their air supply because they are obviously a unidentified non-flying object.

Fifi, I got that too. I don't know why others keep saying I am Frequently Vile! :eek: The bit I find most interesting is the score for the 3 things they measure you for: machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy.

Fifi, we all make mistakes! :ROFLMAO: Bee, yes I am. I will have to post in the mental health section! :eek:

Hey Fiona, good to see you onboard. I hope you have some fun here. It is good to share your experiences, especially when it comes to mental health issues. Support from our friendly bunch is always there!

When I took the test, I was slightly higher than average for psychopathy. I save midges out of my car so I know I am not the violent type. But perhaps I have a disconnect of sorts. For the record, I do love horrors!! :LOL::ROFLMAO::unsure:

What about if you think but you are in fact a piece of silicon? The new Siri or Google Assistant. They think, but are they? (Bee, correct use of grammer? A slightly odd construct I admit.)

I am replying to my own post because no one else is. Welcome to the forums Jon! It is a bit like sending yourself your own valentines card.

Do you have telekinesis? Have you ever seen it in action? Or do are you a sceptic? And do you believe in ghosts?

You can rewrite the bad sentences if you like!

Do you think that if you are a writer, you have a bias that wants to believe that you perceive more than others due to a larger vocabulary?

When it comes to life, which would you prefer, a higher IQ or EQ? Intelligence Quotient verses Emotional Quotient?

Well known saying, but is it bunkum? What do the philosophers say?

I often wonder, what does the cat sitting on the mat think, while looking all drowsy? Are they reminiscing on the mouse they ate earlier in the day, or are they wondering why their owners are staring at a nosy screen all day (or staring at a block of wood with pages)?

I personally take: - 2 fish oils - Vit D mega dose - Curcumin (Tumeric) Although not Vits, I also have: - 1 square dark chocolate - 10 blueburries - 3 almonds That is my daily stack, what is yours? (Bee, is that correct sentence construction?)

Are you saying the example is not sound?

So a colourblind gent with a wide colour vocabulary will have more nuanced perception of colour?

The Eskimos have 50 different words to describe snow. Does this mean they understand snow better than we do? Does someone with a large vocabulary see nuances that others don't, because they don't have the words to conceptualise them?

A (very) belated welcome to the board Doc. I do love your lengthy posts which bring an original perspective to all and sundry. Do you consider yourself a "country philosopher" because you have lived long enough to look back and reflect, based on considerable experience? And now that you are...

Let's face it, the world is full of conflict. But when we argue, do we win or do we actually lose? You can end up alienating the person you are arguing with. And as the old saying goes, "The person convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still." If you do a meta analysis, you may win...

If you would like to get some insight into your own personality and inner workings, you have got to take this test. It is excellent! It will only take you about 15 to 20 minutes and the time is well spent. Your personality is then broken down into 6 dimensions. Each of these are broken down into...
