Does This Presentation Presume Cartesian Ontology

[Michael Allen]

OK, clearly not a paranormal topic, however it is fundamental to our understanding of our own existence.

The most interesting question regarding this subject is whether or not the experts express the fundamental ontology (in this sense a dualistic one--maybe) of their own conclusions.

Hope this is not too boring.

Apologies...I did not know that the server error on submission was actually creating the posts

Sorry Gene

 

[Gene Steinberg]

What server error do you mean?

 

[Michael Allen]

It didn't really specify anything other than "server error" after I clicked submit -- if I reproduce this issue again I will post a screenshot.

Edit: Added javascript console output below

Please post a link to the presentation you're talking about.

From my extremely cursory review of Anderson's work, I voted "No".​

Thanks for adding the link -- when I clicked edit on my original post it has the ted media tags in (not adding them here because they will get processed!) the text, however the javascript console shows these have been disabled

Are you selecting the YouTube "share" link and copying the code ... Or are you getting the code another way?

 

[Michael Allen]

no I just posted the direct link to the TED video (let me see if I can quote it below)
Some php post processing occurs on the server side to convert it to some kind of TED media tagged entity.

\[media\=ted\] <link> \[\/media\] (escaped special characters -- processing works in quotation as well)

Here's the link (which is spaced out for obvious reasons)

h t t p : / / w w w . t e d . c o m / t a l k s / d a v i d _ a n d e r s o n _ y o u r _ b r a i n _ i s _ m o r e _ t h a n _ a _ b a g _ o f _ c h e m i c a l s . h t m l

According to the console, the server configuration shows that the wrapper for TED media is disabled, however somewhere in the script ted videos are found and transformed anyways. If the wrapper is disabled, then the transform (and tagging) should be disabled as well...

But were you trying to post a link to the video or embed the video here?
To embed here, you select the "share" link and copy that code, then insert it here by selecting the "media" button in the toolbar.
The code should look like: "D9xJl4S6NsM" ( without the quotes )

 

[Michael Allen]

ok...what I am trying to say is just pasting the ted link above (take out all the spaces) will cause problems -- so I wasn't using the embedding link, just the direct one.
