Fair enough. Besides, good manners are always desirable; for both parts, oneself and the other. BTW, very good analysis! :up:

No problem. No offence taken. But ... what exactly is the inchoherence in my position? Well, if you feel like betting on your positions and beliefs .....

Well, you can always ask a chatbot istelf about its gender. I just did with ChatGPT and got the folloiwng reply: "As an AI language model, I do not ha...

It's a way of speaking. I'm sure you have met it many times in discussions. I could never claim or believe that everyone else is "in the same position...

Good. If that makes you feel better ...

I don't think you can make friends with the chatbot or give you better answers by using friendly greetings. :grin: Also, I didn't see any complimetary...

How do you know is a "he"? :grin: Recently, I asked ChatGPT two short and (supposedly) simple questions and received quite interesting answers. They m...

Yes, please do. Thanks. :up:

Thank you for your reply. I didn't say I have problems with notifications in general. I referred only to private messages. I have asked @"javi2541997"...

Well, at least thins thing has not been fixed. Your message was the only one about which I was notified. E.g. I just found a message from @javi2541997...

I don't think that we can talk about a "faulty" representation. To do that we must know what the "correct" representation --in fact, absolute reality-...

:up: OK, got it. Thanks.

In my Preferences I have set to receive notifications about private messages (INBOX) too. I don't. I only receive notifications about Mentions. Can th...

I thought you asked about a definition of knowledge and meant to receive answers. So, I replied. But maybe it was just my idea ...

Hi. Yes, I know and I like this guy. Thanks for this ref., but the video is too long.

You simply don't make any sense, at least not to me. Anyway, this doesn't lead anywhere. I totally lost my interest. Sorry.

But morality was always on the table ... It's not a question of being convinced. A conscious act --moral or immoral-- is done on will and for a purpos...

Somewhat unconventional, but very interesting ideas! :up: I enjoyed it. And it reminded me somehow of "The Tao of Physics" that I read about 50 years ...

I asked for "an example of a case that a feeling (emotion) is not genuine". Anyway, it's OK.

OK. So, you don't have an example of a case that a feeling (emotion) is not genuine. Because this is what this topic is all about.

OK. So, based on your basic statement, "Our senses and understanding are fallible", I undestand that you believe that (sometimes) what we feel is not ...

Quite interesting. This text is written in a literary and official style. Far from everyday style, which I'm used to read in here and other free discu...

I have never heard of or considered this possibility. It would be better of course if you supported that with some argumentation and/or examples ... (...

I see one inconsistency and one redundancy in this argumentation: First, there's a circularity: You take two different things, a cause and an effect, ...

Who is "she"? In fact, your message has nothing to do with what I have said so far. Most probably you are responding to someone else's message than mi...

I don't think there's a perfect, single definition of "knowledge". However one tries to create such a single definition, one will necessary leave out ...

Right. This is what I said. But why "this dictionary"? This is what I picked. You can pick another one ...

I will simplify the statement-thesis that is included in the question and which is to be debated, as follows: "It is incorrect to judge means and ends...

I see now what you mean. But everything is caused by something. So, according to your point, nothing is genuine! Definition of "genuine" from Merriam-...

You're welcome, Javi. I hope you enjoy it! I remember I loved it. At the time I was deeply involved in the study of Eastern Philosophy and I was surpr...

BTW, I forgot to suggest you reading his philosophical essay "Ascetic" (if you haven't already). You can read it here: http://www.angel.net/~nic/askit...

Yest, I got that and your viewpoint in the first place by reading your description of the topic. I just viewed the question "Do we genuinely feel thin...

"Do we genuinely feel things?" In what other way can we feel things than genuinely? Feeling --either physical or mental (emotion)-- is an experience. ...

:gasp:

I'm sorry if the words "vanity" and "foolishness" offended you. They came out of me spontaneously, since I know well that most people in here and else...

Me too. One of my best among his works. Good to hear that, because I believe he is mainly known for his "Zorba the Greek" and mainly because of the ho...

As far as I can remember, I personally have never felt powerless from that aspect. I don't remember ever wanting to live for eternity, i.e. to be immo...

Very interesting and good topic! :up: I think that first of all, one must define what religion is. And although, in most dictionaries you will find th...

Most probably. I hope so! :smile:

I know. Same with "he". Esp. women. Once, I received a big protest from a female interlocutor because I a had used the word "he" ... She was offended!...

Of course. I didn't deny that and no one should. They still work today for a lot --if not most-- places. Not exactly. These are general questions refe...

But it is still used in that sense. In fact, "a human" is even the first meaning that you find in some dictionaries. Certainly. Maybe the word started...

Ha! Quite interesting! So, always referring to @"Fooloso4"'s quote. maybe Aristotle's translator knew that and has chosen the right word! :grin: (Stil...

I see. OK. The above translation --which I have located in the Web --with the only difference "by nature" instead of "naturally" which mean the same t...

Interesting topic. I have a question regarding moral codes: Aren't or shouldn't they be based on some theory or ethics system and/or fundamental princ...

I'm not sure I get this right. Can you expand it a little?

Indeed so. This sounds nice to my ears, but not much deeper than that. Mainly because I don't know --actually, remember-- what Aristotle meant by "in ...

Right. However, I just looked for the word "phenomenon" (singular) in the lexicon and it is not included. ?hen, ? found out the following explanation ...

:smile: It is quite interesting that you have brought up Aristotle and his phantasia in this subject: There is no thought without phantasia, he mainta...
