Henry's Blog

Henry, i like the way you were able to casually express your feelings in an educated way. While you do tend to rant about the alien fantasy, I can clearly see your point and even though the example you used was a bit silly I could still get the gist of what you were saying. You mentioned in the beginning that you hear the phrase "Human Nature" a lot which I assume you meant to contrast Banach's idea, thus "Human Nature" implies that we all share a similar experience. I'd like you to expand on the idea of "Human Nature", does Banach disprove it? if we can't share common experiences then can there be a human nature? Silliness aside, nice work, I think you have some already good ideas, if you expanded on them they could be great ideas.

Jenise's Blog

Jenise, I liked how you quoted from the article and were able to back up your arguments without your post sounding like an essay. Your writing style was very casual yet intelligent which made it easier to pick up on your ideas. I think your point about us being able to share feelings is very interesting, we can't dispute emotions because we can see the body language of people and their tone. This connects to what I said in class, in this case we can share the visual aspect of emotion, such as body language and the verbal in our tone. This idea makes me genuinely curious about a loophole in this idea that we're "alone" in the world, maybe we can share emotions if we can't share senses? this idea is definitely worth exploring. Great work, you've got some great ideas that are very thought provoking that are begging to be expanded and explored in depth.
