Well, we come back to the conflict between "I have awareness" and "objects do not have awareness" ... See, saying or thinking "I am a body" and "I hav...
"Be" and "have" are two of the three auxiliary verbs: be, do and have. These are also the 3 conditions of existence. I am a programmer, I create progr...
Sorry if that was a little confusing. I will try to make it more clear: Let's define "awareness" as a state, condition or faculty of being able to kno...
Exactly. So, saying "I am my body" and at the same time "I am aware of my body" is a contraction. In fact, it's an impossibility. Because the body is ...
Again, you say "My body". See the contradiction, the conflict? From the moment you say "I have" and "my" (something) you cannot be that (something). Y...
I agree with this. I desagree with this. How can an object have awareness? How can you be a body and have a body at the same time? Fortunately, only t...
It is already difficult in most cases to have a stable government --i.e. run by a same party-- in a single country. Imagine having a single government...
Why running in circles? I can only see a straight line! :grin: I gave you examples, Shawn. I can't do more than that. (And please don't ask me "What d...
I can't see why the word "good" is indefinable. If it were, then most if not all the adjectives would be indefinable and it would be impossible to com...
This is certainly more plausible. But again, I wll have to ask "What reality?" It looks like we have here another assumption, taking as given that the...
What God? You yourself said, correctly, that "religions do not, and cannot, agree", which means that the concept of "God" differs among them. And you ...
OK. There's also a "Philosophy of kitchen", a "Philosophy of animals", ... in short, a "Philosophy of Everything". Since you referred to Wikipedia, he...
This is totally impossible. Sometimes one cannot even satisfy all the members of a family or even of a small group. For the very simple reason that pe...
What is a "true form of democracy"? The word "democracy" comes from ancient Greek "??????????" (pronounced "democratia"), which comes from the noun "d...
I'm just talking about the word "object" and it's use. The interaction I mentioned was between the two uses and meanings of the word. Mathematics and ...
You are right. The term "objects" I ised in saying "Numbers are abstract objects" might be confusing because it normally refers to something physical....
With which I agree. But I think it is in conflict with your first statement, namely that numbers are objective (reality). It may be a question of inte...
How can we be what we have created them? Can we be Ido or Esperanto? Mathematics is a language. The language of Science. All languages are products of...
When we look up, at a highest level of matter, we see the Universe ... Microcosm and macrocosm ... Small order and great order ... We have formulated ...
You are right, in a strict way, since the subject is the strands and the object is the hair. However, with a little shift of the subject --by poetic l...
Nice! I liked that the "speaker" is revealed to be a hairpin a a little late, comoing as a surprise and dissolving the momentary confusion I was trick...
I have never been involved in a discussion about nominalism, nor have I ever considered it much important as a subject, but I have to bring up what Wi...
Isn't it interesting that Alexander the Great's conquests ended at India? HydaspesRiver marked the limit of his conquests. He of course had died at th...
I just had a look at the subject of felicific calculus in Wiki and found Bentham's "algorithm" quite interesting, I don't know if anyone has ever exam...
I think yes, in literal, absoulute terms. Something is either true or false. There's no intermediate state. We cannot say partly or partially true in ...
I think that the "Refutation" is unfounded or anyway incorrect. Why should Logical positivism be itself justified? It's a method or system, not a stat...
Not improbable, if time is circular. The time has returned to a point for you to ask this question again! :grin: Well, my view of time is that it is n...
This is quite funny. The video stops exactly after the psychiatrist's question "Is there an awareness of the dowingness of the brain?" That was indeed...
Do they? Or do they think they know? :smile: Well, I don't think that it is a mystery: it is not something kept secret, neither something obscure nor ...
This is the risk one takes when one agrees to see a psychiatrist! :smile: In this case the woman's delusion might well have been a "prophesy", i.e. sh...
Excellent point, and you are well justified to question this (apparent) contradiction, which indeed seems huge: on the one hand, the Buddhist doctrine...
Iit is not wrong for me to drive a car and it is not wrong for me not to drive a car. Iit is not wrong for me to write this comment and it is not wron...
I what way are you "struggling" and why? What is your adversary? I believe, yes. that would invoke the mind-body duality. But if you feel you have to ...
Until now, the dilemma was presented with the opposite situation: Is it is ethical to fire people because job automation? ("Job automation" being the ...
This is very good! Was it applied in your school? Is it applied in schools in general in your country or any other country you now? (If yes, please na...
I don't agree with this statement: 1) Logic does not need to be introduced. It permeats all things in the human mind. Even before we learn to speak an...
