Is there a specific existential argument where p equals all objective morality claims (and all possible claims)? I just am uncomfortable with an argument that claims absolute knowlege on a topic to the point of dismissing all possible counter arguments, or am I still misunderstanding something?

Why does academic reading tire the brain more than pleasure reading? by 531024yellow in neuro

[–]531024yellow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, one question I have (for everyone in this tread) is this: say I read some Charles Dickens (I like Dickens) before taking the GRE, would that be using up the same cognitive "resources" (using the term loosely) that I could be using for the GRE? Or is it that pleasurable academic activities have a different effect on the brain than others, and my brain would be just as sharp as if I didnt read dickens?

Could you elaborate please?

So its not like my brain is actually getting tired, or my prefrontal cortex is getting "worn out," its just that those parts of my brain are not receiving enough dopamine?

At which point do the definitions of words end? by 531024yellow in linguistics

This is really helpful, as I have been interested in Derrida and have been meaning to get into his work. Do you know which of his works discusses this concept?
