I know a nurse who refused the vaccine along with her fiancé. They were planing on getting married that fall. They of course were Trump supporters who never wore masks after the first month or two. Long story short. The fiancé died of COVID that summer and the nurse was hospitalized for weeks...

I apologize is this becomes one more crazy thread about free will that goes on endlessly. That was never my intention. I just mentioned that Dennett, a well known atheist and philosopher had expired, and thought some of you might be interested. I think that's all I have to say. I guess I'm not...

I found the other book. It's called, "The Nonsense of Free Will"

It helped a little bit, and Dennett did sound like an interesting, thoughtful person, as this was the first time I ever watched an interview of him. So, I think I pretty much agree with his points, although it's still a bit confusing to me, as to just how much he felt we are responsible for our...

Ok. That's better. I don't get why these people vote for the assholes, but I have trump supporters on my street who are very dear, caring people. I just don't get how they can vote for a psychopathic criminal, anymore than I understand how anyone can support MTG, plus most of the money she...

While probably every movie that starred Meryl Streep was excellent, oddly enough, my favorite one is "The Devil Wears Prada". It's well acted, very funny, with a great moral theme etc. The last of her movies that we saw was "It's complicated" with Alex Baldwin starring as an asshole, which he...

The way things are going, before too long, Johnson might become a Democrat and give up his silly religious beliefs and become a Unitarian. ;) At least he's starting to understand that bipartisanship is the only way to get things done and it's wrong to listen to the decreasingly small pack of...

You're right. I've been eating cereal for breakfast most of the time, since I was about 2 or 3. Plus, I recently started eating Cheerios again, my favorite food as a little girl. I imagine if my mom cooked us eggs and toast for breakfast, that might be my breakfast choice. She ate cereal too...

OMG! Thanks for the laugh. My husband I found it on Hulu and were laughing our assess off at that episode. I think you did have to watch the original version of "12 Angry Men" to fully appreciate the humor and the fact that we watched the movie again a couple of weeks ago, certainly did help. We...

That's kind of deep for a newspaper article, don't ya think? I'm not a true believer in free will, but I probably don't see it exactly the way that DBT does. The way I put it is that we are all victims or benefactors of our genetic and environmental influences, so we have very little control...

I get it now. I started the same thread in the lounge. I'm going to share another article about Dennett, just for you. :) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/27/magazine/daniel-dennett-interview.html?unlocked_article_code=1.l00.1FyY.iBm5u6-5yQKE&smid=url-share This one was from an...

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/19/books/daniel-dennett-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.l00.jGYo.98RY4Qjo4OQ-&smid=url-share See if it works this time. The Times said that I already shared this story so it won't count against my articles to share. If you can't read it, I don't know what to...

I'll try again. Perhaps the NYTimes is fucked up again. Let me try.

I gifted it, so you should be able to read it, if you want. I'm permitted to share 10 articles a month as a subscriber to the NYTimes and I've only used one. Just sayin'. Have you tried to read it? Ok. I'm confused now. Are there more than one threads about Dennet? Yes. He was controversial. I...

One problem is that even if Trump was in jail, he still could be elected president and still could act as president. Unfortunately our foolish founders didn't understand that there might be a hardcore criminal one day who would become president. Plus, they made it way too difficult to amend our...

Not sure where to put this obituary but Daniel Dennett has returned to star dust. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/19/books/daniel-dennett-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.l00.jGYo.98RY4Qjo4OQ-&smid=url-share

Perhaps you have to be old or have taken care of older people or loved older people to fully appreciate, "On Golden Pond", but I love that movie and watched it again a few weeks ago. Jane Fonda, and her dad, Henry Fonda are great, along with Katherine Hepburn. It's such a good drama about family...

I do like her. Where would I find her spoof version? We dropped Netflix, but have Hulu and several other streaming services.

I found some information about the 1997 remake, of 12 Angry Men. I never saw that one and doubt it was as good as the original. Anyone have an opinion on that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_Angry_Men_(1997_film) It was a remake made for tv, which is probably why I never saw it. I'm still...

12 Angry Men had a great cast too. I rewatched it recently. Of course, being old, I have problems remembering all of the names. The only thing I found weird is that all of the jurors were men. Maybe it's time for a remake called: 12 Angry Women. :) Too bad we won't have 12 angry women on the...
