@TomasBogardus it was neither a yes nor a no. It was, in part, an expression of frustration at a poorly posed question.
English
Aristotle's Prime Mover thinks without a body (Metaphysics XII). Augustine's God knows without a body. Aquinas has angels (ST I.54), God, and souls thinking without bodies (ST I.89.1).
The Church teaches some disembodied souls see God (Benedictus Deus, 1336).
It's dualism.
Dan Walden@dwaldenwrites
The Pope pretty clearly holds the same position that Aristotle and Augustine and Thomas and MacIntyre and Taylor all hold: that thinking is an action specifically of embodied intellect, that is, of the human organism as a whole. That is, if anything, the opposite of dualism.

I had a professor at Cal State Long Beach who constantly trashed America as racist, oppressive, and irredeemable. He mocked the Constitution, capitalism, and virtually every American institution.
At the end of the semester, he gave an emotional story about how his mother crawled through sewer pipes to reach America.
So I raised my hand and asked: if America is this irredeemable, oppressive country, why did she risk everything to come here? And why are neither of you interested in going back?
He didn’t answer the question. Instead he called me disrespectful.
That’s because much of this ideology is not rooted in reality testing. It’s institutional theater rewarded by academia, media, and activism.
The system incentivizes moral denunciation of America while simultaneously depending on the opportunities America uniquely provides.

That boy who didn’t kneel is more valuable than 10,000 who do kneel. Boys like him became men who made the modern world. Never kneel.

🚨BREAKING: A teacher brought her students on a school field trip to a mosque, where an imam taught the children about Islam, demonstrated how to wear burqas on the girls, and instructed the group to kneel for prayer. Only one young boy refused to kneel. The clip from the visit (reportedly involving young scouts or schoolchildren) has gone viral, sparking outrage over concerns of religious indoctrination.

We uncovered something far bigger than I ever expected. After seeing coordinated false attacks against the Utah data center project, we brought in an advanced data science team to trace where the content was coming from and the results were shocking. What we found led back to organized networks, political activist groups, and funding trails tied to massive international entities. We dug through IRS 990 filings, tracked IP data from around the world, and uncovered what appears to be a coordinated campaign targeting energy and data center projects across multiple regions.
I shared 90 pages of evidence with federal law enforcement and raised concerns directly with contacts at the White House. This isn’t speculation. The filings, funding records, dates, and connections are documented. There’s a coordinated PR war happening around energy infrastructure and data centers, and we’re not going to ignore it.

"Dualism" doesn't mean "anything that isn't brute physicalism" and a take like this perfectly illustrates why superficial learning is worse than none at all.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
It is not surprising to see that the Pope endorses a lot of superstitious mind/body dualism about artificial intelligence but it’s still wrong, even as he is also raising a lot of good points about some of the risks at play.

@JeanIsWitherin @YaMyJudgingFace These two things aren’t even remotely close. Like in the same universe. The Japanese internment camps is the only similar stain to slavery in our nation’s history.

@BraedenSorbo He should go do meth all day on a street corner. They'll leave him alone forever.

@BraedenSorbo So a random psychologist, the least credible field in history, saw him at a cafe and randomly certified him without any actual interaction and they just took her word for it and dragged him in for evaluation? Damn that country is cooked.

A traffic stop can look routine, but there's no such thing for the officer walking up to that window. They never truly know who or what they're facing, or how desperate someone might be. That kind of uncertainty takes grit. It's why I back the blue-because they step into harm's way every single day so the rest of us can make it home safe. 👍
I want to thank @crimefix000 for sharing this with me

@IndianaGPA Why didn’t they just shoot her once she almost ran over several people and could have caused a massive explosion?

Romney’s loss was probably more significant than you’d think. Not because Romney was special, no one liked him, but he was a completely milquetoast candidate and he still had the dirtiest accusations hurled at him of sexism, Nazism etc

This was barely a decade ago. 2 competent, fully coherent, men in their 50s/60s disagreeing at the margins about ways to make our society a little more productive. Nothing but respect for one another. We’ve completely spiraled out of control politically since then.

@denispleiades @Joanna__Hardy I hate the heat, and AC is very rare in rental units here. Multiple landlords refused to have AC installed even if I cover the expenses. They refuse free flat appreciation at the tenant's expense just because "nah we don't need AC".

Bought a fancy end-of-bed fan before the London heatwave began and - honestly - this is the single greatest purchase of my life

@Joanna__Hardy @KernowNeg Hey how about this darling?
Cheaper than the hunk of metal you bought and 45 times better?

I am...astonished by this finding. 35 people died.
Is this only known in right-wing circles online?

One of the most persistent false beliefs in American culture is that the Floyd/BLM riots were incredibly peaceful, causing little damage to life and property. In fact, the Floyd/BLM riots were the most destructive riots in American history, leading insurance agencies to designate them as a "catastrophe event." (See first chart below showing that misinformation about the Floyd/BLM riots is positively correlated with trust in journalists.) (See second chart below showing that misinformation about the Floyd/BLM riots is associated with left-leaning political beleifs.)
