Hello guys,
Has anyone seen the movie "Being John Malkovich"? If so, then when the "real" John Malkovich enters the secret tunnel he ends up at a restaurant. Everybody has the face of John Malkovich and they all say "Malkovich" as their way of communication. Assuming that the movie shows the implications of Cartesian Dualism, what does that scene mean?

Interesting, in one of my philosophy classes the instructor showed us Descartes' Ontological argument. Her formulation of the argument was horrendous and her formulation included the premise "Everything [including ideas] has a cause." Now I'm not a Cartesian, but I don't think Descartes was that stupid.

Also, has anybody read Herman Philipse's "God in the Age of Science"? If so, how is it? Is the book high quality and intellectually serious like Mackie's "Miracle of Theism"?

AKG, you remind me a little of myself when I became a Brony. I ended up listening to This Day Aria and I listened to the song about five times. I realized that I liked a show for little girls and that made me feel odd.  At first, I was very secretive about my liking of the show and tried to get rid of it. (You may or may not believe me, but its the truth) Nevertheless, I couldn't, so I embraced it. Eventually, I told my family and close friends about it and they are fine with it. In your case, if you don't want to continue liking My Little Pony then don't think about it. I suggest to focus on other matters or hobbies. As far as I am concerned, when it comes to school, just don't tell anybody. Good luck and Happy New Year!

Yes, besides the parody objection, philosophers use the famous Kantian objection against the OA. However, I have some questions regarding the Kantian objection. What does it mean when someone says "Existence is not a property"? Also, I remember Yujin talks about this objection in the article you sent me. I quote "For in order to defend it, one has to prove not only that the ontological argument presupposes that existence is a predicate, which itself is controversial, but also that existence is indeed not a predicate, which is even more controversial, independently of the debate on the ontological argument." He goes on to say, "Thus in order to refute the ontological argument by relying on the Kantian objection, one needs first to solve the very difficult problem regarding the nature of existence."
