I'll ask you again since you didn't address this..."How do you know that consciousness can only arise as the result of a functioning brain?" How do you know that without one there can not be the other?

I don't like your analogy...what is the smell of seven cannot be answered because it is an illogical question, meaningless, it cannot have an answer, mine is logical, why should I expect it not to have an answer? Let me put it again...When is a child capable of adult responsibilities and productivity? What attributes does he/she have to exhibit/posses/have?

So you are saying that it is not immoral then. Therefore once one break the NAP, aggressing against him in the future would not be an immoral action. Is there any limit to this though? What if someone breaks me an arm? (he specifically wants to break one arm only, not anything else) Can I only break one arm of his in order for me to not fall into the immoral category? What if I break both of his legs? Am I being immoral?

How do you know the light-lamp analogy is an accurate analogy? Interestingly enough your analogy supports the consciousness can exist independent of the brain theory...If the lamp is the brain and the consciousness is the light, without that lamp or any other "complex" sources like a device or stars etc...there would still be light in the absence of all these complex sources. "Things that come from sources can exist without the source" and that sounds much more easier to answer: No." This is only true if WE KNOW that the only thing that can generate that "something" is only the thing itself or others alike it... Again...how can we know that without matter there can be no consciousness? 1.Wha do you mean? 2.How do you know? Funny thing...you could use his argument to argue for consciousness without a brain, since you don't need a brain to generate electrical impulses. Did we find what are the conditions needed? 1.What are those? 2.How do we know that we have the complete list of conditions in which consciousness arises?

So what is the answer?

What about this specific example? One man murders someone and is not caught, would it be immoral for someone to kill him later as a result of him killing that person? And if no, is there any time interval in which this should be done?

How do we know when a child is capable of adult responsibilities and productivity?

My take on it...if someone breaks NAP, then he cannot claim that his property rights have been violated later on. However, if you see this.. .

Do they need to be taught how to think at all? Is this not something they are born to do...and do it properly in the absence of abuse?

How do you know that consciousness can only arise as the result of a functioning brain?

This might count as evidence not proof.

How can we prove that without matter there can be no consciousness?

We are all born unable to provide for ourselves shelter, food, protection, etc...people responsible to provide these things for us are those who created us. But at what point your parents can say to you that their moral obligation is over and now if you want resources from them you need to provide value back?

Why does it have to be a long time?

He speaks polish, indeed.

YES!!! You are the one I wanted to hear from since this topic seem to interest you a lot. Thank you for the in-depth reply, it made a lot of things clear. What is your personal motivation? Do you think we as anarchist given how few we are can have any impact in all of this? If yes, how so?

What do you mean by funny words?

When I said "I cannot understand for the life of me" I didn't really mean it...this was just provocative language used with the purpose of expressing inner-frustration. Still, the question remains...why don't I need a voice of reason to offset the hysteria? What is not in me and it is in a lot of people here who delve into these threads?

You can continue trying with dating sites but how about skimming through facebook/Instagram/twitter/Tumblr/etc and other social media profiles? I'd rather try it this way instead of dating sites/apps for numerous reasons, some that come to mind right now: you get to value-scan the girls much faster since you can basically run through hundreds of profiles in no time, social media offers you much more insight into someone's personality than any dating profile does since you can look through their pictures, followed pages, liked comments and so on...and where do you put the fact that you get to see their red flags from miles away... However, the thing that I'd try if I were you is going on anonymous chat rooms such as :strangermeetup/connected2me/tohla/omegle/etc and chat with people there, since it is completely anonymous and you have the option of disconnecting anytime you want you might find it much more easier to expose your true self on there and create a powerful connection with the girl from the very beginning, also you'll create a more accurate impression of her personality and get a more objective view of how they truly are as a person since you don't know how they look like so you won't be distracted by their looks and start rationalizing away their red flags due to your dick. On a more personal note...I don't understand your motivation (or anyone else's) for looking for a girlfriend as the basic premise, the starting point of a relationship...I have no intention of getting a girlfriend anytime soon but the way I'd do it is this way: 1.start talking to a girl that you matched on a dating site/met on the street/forum/chatroom/social media/etc that created a good or very good first impression on you. 2.after you got to know her better in so far that you are confident in your evaluation of the value and quality she represents to me...and it is a very good one...then I'd befriend her. (the thing is in this period you can get to text/meet/etc how many girls you want) 3.get to know her even better by talking and getting involved with her even more 4.if there proves to be a mutual compatibility, need, desire, want, value exchange, sexual chemistry, attraction (physical and mental) and so forth (and if these things are not present you still won a good friend while you get to look for another girl to become your girlfriend), then you becoming boyfriend and girlfriend is just a natural and logical continuation of your relationship. So, that's pretty much the approach I'd take, at least this is the way I am seeing things now... Some people would object to my approach saying that you are throwing yourself into the friend zone gratuitously, but I call bullshit on this "friend zone" thing. Friendzone doesn't exist. The term friend in friend zone is misused and a disgrace to what a friend really means, a friend would not manipulate you into staying around them when they know you potentially have a romantic interest in them and they don't, milking you of your time and resources... Also...I never understood why people assume that "friend" and "sex" are mutually exclusive concepts...why shouldn't /couldn't/wouldn't you have sex with your friends? (unless they are into a monogamous relationship)...questions I never got a good answer to...

The thing I hate is that among those torrents there are podcasts that are not present anywhere else.

Meaning?

Okay, but why do some people need this affirmation and others (myself included) don't?

Well, does your theory differ that much from Stefan's distinction between aesthetically preferable behavior and non-aesthetically preferable behavior?

Fear of FDR community's disapproval should be in your mind nothing but fear of being irrational or immoral.

Not to be rude...but what is the point of posting this? Why is it important for you to post this? (genuinely curious) I cannot understand for the life of me why nowadays there are so many threads about refugees, immigration and multiculturalism, I mean I understand this in the context of the recent world events but what I don't get is people's interest and motivation for bringing up and discussing these topics.
