No, it wasn't. I know as fact that it didn't happen to me. I'm sorry you can't admit that some people don't experience dependancy like you do. Cigarettes on the other hand I've been having a harder time with because they are addictive. I understand what you're saying as I've seen people that have the cravings when they are out. But not everyone does.Kracus wrote:I'm not saying there are adverse affects I'm just saying the craving to go smoke a joint IS there. It might be easy to tolerate if you need to but there is a craving which would indicate somekind of addictiveness. You guys can fucking say it doesn't exist all you want but I've experienced it and know better. So this isn't a being right or wrong this is fact I know because I've experienced it.

i prefer not to commit to a given theory of mind, which is why I talk about mental events being correlated in some way with physical events.Massive Quasars wrote:He's not being entirely clear. If he had said every mental event had a physical cause (in one direction only) it would be epiphenomenalism.seremtan wrote:physicalist - exact opposite.Massive Quasars wrote: epiphenomenalist? :icon30:
But even this is presupposing a distinction between mental and physical, so the way I phrased the original statement isn't really compatible with identity theories of mind, or hardcore physicalism.
I like conceiving of the mind/brain in an epiphenomenal manner (MQ you were correct in picking that out) just for the sake of theoretical utility (there is a certain accuracy about epiphenomenalism in that at least we are preserving the toplogy of physical activity) but I also think the identity theorists may be onto something.
Honestly, the mind body problem is one that I've never been able to come to terms with.

I too find philosophy of the mind difficult, I haven't really staked out a position from which to defend (even as I find some arguments more convincing than others in reading). Though I'm relatively confident humans don't have classical free will.[xeno]Julios wrote: i prefer not to commit to a given theory of mind, which is why I talk about mental events being correlated in some way with physical events.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I wonder if any of you can and what would be the side effect

like i said, i don't know. but i quit cigarettes a while back (started having them with beer againhate wrote:4days wrote:if you quit smoking dope after smoking heavily for a long time, it can mess your stomach up for a while. i don't know the science of it, but it can.
how so...

thinking about it though, that's just as likely to be behavioural as anything else.

There is a great artcle by Peter van Inwagen which links our conceptual capacities to the apparent insolubility of mind/body problem. But fuck me I can't remember the title....I'll drop it in here if I can find the relevant book.[xeno]Julios wrote:

The source is a book?
I found a book by Peter van Inwagen on google, it may not be the book you're referring to but I'll throw it out there anyways.
