Wait wait, weren't you sucking them off a while ago or were you just being surly towards irrationally principled nerds?
I was sucking off the brilliance of the entire game up until the ending I guess? I mean that's what's so infuriating. The game is so good. The characters are so fucking good and just
just I can't even talking about it. Yes. The nerds are irrational for demanding a refund. They're irrational for Day 1 DLC and all of that petty shit.
But no. No I get it. I didn't even want to finish ME3 but chu basically said nut up last night and he as right.
But holy shit did BW get their fans wrong.
Ludious, tell me, as someone who has effected none of the masses. Was it all just a dream? Did Shepard wake up in the sand next to the coconut that fell on his head in Mass Effect 1?

i am kind of at the point where i think the more esoteric philosophy might be great for improving those who actually study it, in some way or another, but it has very little relevance or importance beyond that level

Not a ME3 spoiler at all, posing a scenario but I am afraid some people might get offended.
Let me start by saying this: Don't read into the question too much. I'm not saying they are comparable in terms of storyline.
How did you feel about Matrix Revolutions? Did you feel betrayed, and betrayed by a subpar half baked plot that tried to shoehorn some type of deep meaning into it?
You will feel the same way you felt about Matrix Revolutions.

philosophy reacted rather badly to general relativity and there has always seemed to be some unbridged gulf since
I think it's fair to say that most general philosophers now operate with a high-school understanding of physics, and a one-or-two college course understanding of logic and set theory. So, your average philosopher really cannot say anything particularly intelligible about relativity. But at the same time, there are specialized philosophers of physics who live and die by knowing the particulars of the field, and they tend to know them very well. So I'd say that it's less a gulf between philosophy and the natural sciences, and more a gulf between philosophers of traditional areas (metaphysics, epistemology, ethics) and philosophers of the empirical sciences (physics, chemistry, etc.). This is perhaps inevitable as a result of how the natural sciences are becoming so sophisticated that they cannot be known in any reasonable way by a dilettante; if one is to know any one of them, one must focus entirely on knowing them in particular.

As Organichu knows, antarctic exploration is my favorite metaphor.
Y'all philosophizers are a bunch of stiff upper lip Brits trying to trudge your horses to the south pole. You will freeze to death on your way. 50 years later, my people will fly in with a B52 and land it on your corpses.
Only you'd never have figured out how to build B52s without philosophers.
Wait, metaphor...mixing...aw fuck it
The point is that, contrary to popular belief, philosophy is fundamental to all science.
was
not that it isn't still useful
I mean, it still is. Philosophy of mind and neuroscience are inextricably linked at this stage.
We have very different opinions of neuroscience. :P
From where I'm standing, the philosophy looks like math looks like science and they're almost fundamentally inseparable parts of what will form any explanation of how consciousness, memory, the whole damn shebang, functions.
Saying you will have neuroscience without philosophy of mind is like saying you will have biology without physics; you will never come to a satisfactory description.
Neuroscience describes the philosophy of the mind but philosophy of the mind does not describe neuroscience. Also, we are a long way from linking biological functions to consciousness. We can barely link biofunctions to cognitive reductions of consciousness at this point.
There is a reason why neuroscience classes are labeled BIOS/PSCH/PHIL at my college. Philosophy of the mind absolutely informs the study of neuroscience; it lays the entire backbone upon which we can base our conception of the brain as a complete structure. It is a level of looking at the brain that is just as valid as looking at it at the level of behavioral psychology, cognitive modules, gross anatomical structures, fascicles, individual synapses, or the basic chemical and electrical interactions of neurons. We will never decipher the brain by just working from the bottom up.
Also, understanding consciousness may be closer than it seems. António Damásio at least seems to think he's got an idea.

Yep! Found the Skull Pass box and decided I just had to splash some paint on the troll and a few other minis from it.
Is that the troll model from the old 7th boxset?
all these things went through my head as i was being grumpy and ignoring them

I always hear the "ball so hard" phrase as "mazel hoff"

that's actually quite heideggerian
Rorty's whole thing was that Heidegger was actually a closet pragmatist
edit* I completely disagree/hate Rorty, but it's still an ok interpretation
i guess that is a new lol character

because if not oh boy you don't even know how bad it is
No I was far too mad. I might watch them on the tubes maybe

I'm with Will. I think the ending was good, but the execution of the final sequence could have been better.
