whoa...
That sucks.

I liked robinrohan, even though his logic was ridiculous, and will miss him and his posts.

Considering his real life and family, I was wondering if they have read his posts. Like crash said, sometimes people posts from an alternate version of themselves (I most certainly do). I wonder if his family would want to know what robinrohan has posted or if they would be saddened by it. They might learn something about him that they didn’t know, and that could be a good thing. Para linked to where he said his wife was familiar with the site. I would like to read a post from her.

From the last conversation I had with robinrohan:

quote:
As regards the plausibility of having a soul, might your reasoning go something like this?

I have a private experience of consciousness/mind/thoughts/feelings/self-identity (i.e., soul).

If this private experience is some sort of illusion, then it is a very powerful one. It seems to be something incorporeal, not physical. If incorporeal, then it's hard to see how it could have evolved. It's hard to see how something incorporeal could evolve from something corporeal.

Something along those lines?

Well, I don't know that that's implausible. It sounds plausible. And if we go a step further, we might think, "Suppose this 'soul' is incorporeal. Where did it come from? If it didn't in some strange way evolve from a corporeal thing, it must have come from an incorporeal thing. But the only thing we know of that might be incorporeal is our minds (soul). But we are not things: we are beings. So perhaps this incorporeality came from an incorporeal Being."


robinrohan is missed

Re: Time to meet the real Robin
This is really weird for me. Definately a new experience. I thought that I felt like I knew the guy. After looking at his memorial, in which he looks nothing like I imagined, I realized how much he really was. I wish I would have known more about him while we were conversing instead of being wrong in my presumptions. I was thinking of adding a tribute but I don't know.

Faith, maybe you could add a tribute on behalf of all of us a EvC or somehthing. Or should I just go ahead and do my own?

Re: Time to meet the real Robin
But do we really want to have a whole bunch of tributes from people that his family never heard of?
