    I had a dog that used to bark at you when you sneezed, when you got a cold he was obnoxious.

    My dog is fascinated with sneezes. If you sneeze, he runs up to you no matter where he was or what he was doing and sticks his nose right in your face. Like smelling it will reveal the mystery of sneezing. It's pretty adorable.

    My black lab wouldn't let you swim in the pool. It wasn't allowed while he was outside. He would jump into the pool, swim out to you, grab your arm with this mouth and try to pull you to the stairs. You could sit on the stairs and walk around in the shallow end but get more than waist deep in the water and he'd freak out.

    NO WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS HERE.

    Your argument assumes that you must remember an experience in order for it to have ever existed, right?

    Well, there are two ways to look at it.

    You could say that of course it exists, even if you don't experience it.

    Or you could say that if no one experiences it then how do you know it exists?

    But I think what I'm getting at is regardless of whether or not it really exists from your perspective you never experienced it and it's because it was destroyed and not saved. I mean can you describe what it's like to experience something in the present with the knowledge that you will not remember it in the future? I don't know what that feels like. So if you die then how is that different from forgetting something? Shouldn't those experiences be saved in something like an afterlife?

    hold on, i havent philosophy-d in so long.

    what if experiences are not destroyed outright, but can merely not be recalled? For example, I have plenty of memories I can't remember offhand, but an experience might trigger it's recollection. At one point in time, I have no memory of an experience ever occurring, and at a later point, I remember the same experience.

    I think the idea that our experiences should be recognized as having existed is egocentric. We care about our existence, the universe does not. We either require an omniscient being to do the remembering, or we require some sort of soul (or both). Alternatively, you can look at your brain as a hard drive. Some data is only saved temporarily, wiped data can be recovered, or the hard drive can be utterly destroyed, and the data may well have never existed.

    I don't know if I'm explaining myself properly, here. It's hard to put this into words :P

    There's a version coming for XBLA soonish. It even has PBP mode - you can make your turns without the opponent needing to be online, and he can do his the next time he's online.

    More games need that.

    I don't think it matters if it's destroyed or just temporarily forgotten. In the case of death it's permanently destroyed. Regarding the universe caring about us, I don't propose the universe does any remembering. I am probably proposing a soul which retains our memories.

    So the girl asked me if I wanted to come over for dinner tonight but something about her tone made me wary. I inquired as to who would be cooking, and she mentioned the name of one of her roommates. The one that is to food what Glen Beck is to reason. Boldly I asked what tonights menu would be and it follows.

    Do not read if you're a foodie:
    Chicken marinated in teriyaki, then pan fried with apricots and plums. Served on a bed of pasta and tomato based sauce. She claims it's marinara but there isn't a good analogy for the horror it truly is. Also there will be a side of sweet potatoes with a white gravy.

    I will be eating alone tonight. Damn work meetings.

    She has a thing for fusion cuisine. Her problem is that she hasn't mastered the basics of cooking, let alone two cooking styles that one could fuse. I've tried to help but this girl loves to try to run before she can walk.

    I have to admit I'm making slop for dinner.

    Chicken breast with low sodium whole wheat Stove Top.


    Basically I cook the chicken, chop it up, and mix it up with the stuffing.

    Sort of a ghetto casserole.

    Yes. She thinks that's how you do fusion cuisine. I've tried to explain that one's cooking experiments should be gradual, maybe try a little thyme in place of rosemary but she doesn't listen well.
