We're having a Troll-off. Imminent thread closeage, which is a shame, because it will kill all curiosity in this thread...
But sometimes it is for the best.
Wow, call this a philosophical moment...

Best. Comeback. Ever
Seriously though, if my mum really knows you, knows all there is to know about you, there can't be that much...
Believe me, she does know me very deeply. We got up to some pretty nasty ****.
I'm posting. Hi.

Anyone want to go dogging?

And you were saying that curiosity didn't influence you...

I think you need to make up your mind also, either the thread is (now) pointless and you should read outside it or it isn't.
As to your philosophical musings at lunch you appear to be getting into "does free will exist" and that of course leads on to other intangibles such as "is there a truly altruistic action" and so forth. Philosophy is a pleasant enough way to pass the time but really little more than that in terms of answering questions with certainty; of course not everything requires a definitive answer but it isn't an area ever likely to lead to agreement due to the varying motivations that people have.
Figure out the answers to your A level Philosophy and Ethics questions yourself. I had to. It's pritty straight foward, you shouldn't need help with it.
Why on earth do you think I am doing an A-level in philosophy and ethics? I have a masters degree and have worked in IT for about 4 years
Maybe its a random % of my brain firing off for one brief bright second before dying for good...
An interesting post
One of the criticisms layed against Palin recently after her interviews is not that she is ignorant - but that she doesn't appear to understand she is ignorant and even have any sort of curiosity to drive her to engage and clear her ignorance.
I myself can be accused of ignorance...
It doesn't show
What can I say to this XD it was a computer graphics degree, nothing special... I'm not really the brightest spark in any other areas...
Plus I don't really do much cg any more
The technical skills aren't that important, but I guess you totally missed that.
Please, continue to attack, a computer geek on a computer geek forum. My transferrable skills were public speaking, publications and websites, not philosophy.
On another note, this is an interesting read :

That is quite interesting, I've yet to be convinced of her credentials as a potential VP but then I've never entirely convinced by George W Bush either and he managed to rule for two terms. Maybe she'll be a surprise if she gets into power - I'm not committing myself to good or bad surprise mind.

No matter how curious I am as to what it feels like to be the world record holder, Usain Bolt is always going to be faster than me. Physiology, not curiosity, defines my limits at least some of the time.
Physiology might define absolute limits, but not necessarily relative limits.
How fast *could* you actually go if you trained to his standard?
Thats why sometimes things like the olympics are so important - not because of the final outcome, but because of how it drives people to test themselves...

But if you had enough curiosity you could build yourself a giant robot suit that could fly...
