And there is a reason you would go against your (usual) preferences. Your mood is different. You have a preference for trying new things. Whatever the...
That's one other alternative. Some people would say there is no choice, that it's illusiory, and want to avoid that word. But even those who do not ta...
So, they learn things. These experiences become causes. How does this learning create an exception to determinism? The problem here is you define it a...
I was mainly replying to this idea. Any evidence will be called evidence that the phenomenon is physical. It made the meter shift. If affected the mat...
Given the pattern in scientific research and models, I can't see how there is the possibility to falsify the idea 'if we discovered something non-phys...
An example. You break up with someone. it doesn't feel good, you fight a lot. You don't do this meanly. You just break up. The person commits suicide....
it depends. One can blame oneself for almost anything, including good actions. So, to me it is obvious, right off, that it can be bad to blame yoursel...
My objection is based on 4 points: 1) the limited view of causation 2) what the argument actually does in reality 3) lack of focus on the power player...
We have the illusion of two positions and tendencies and point taken we now have the illusion of role-switching. But behind this we have incredibly we...
That sounds rather the opposite of free will. But again, as I mentioned in my previous post. Oracle could give it a false input. It says you will prod...
Couldn't oracle simply lie to the thwarter. It knows what the thwarter will do. It tells it something else. O: You will produce the number 2. T: Which...
Some possibilities: they don't want us to know it's merely entertainment for them they don't realize we're conscious, they think of it as more like a ...
EDIT: I could sum up on part of my objection as: his approach reinforces the idea that when someone says something it must be literal, contain truth (...
You're making me responsible for everything. That is tucked into the word 'it' above. You are hallucinating a future where you and like-minded have ma...
And you haven't said I am throwing up my hands or suggesting we should. But just to be clear, I am not saying that and.I think we may be close in appr...
But you are prioritizing assertions. You choose a set of assertions that you send to me. You even called some of it wisdom. You may not label that gro...
Well, you provided not evidence for your claim. But the evidence I found was through https://www.amazon.com/When-Elephants-Weep-Emotional-Animals/dp/0...
It was actually the dominant default in natural science up into the early 70s. If you officially and/or in papers referred to animals and having motiv...
Merely labeling it (so far at least) as thinking wrong and telling me I will suffer doesn't really interact with the ideas or move things forwardBut I...
This deals with a situation where professionals have failed to solve something and it arrives on your desk. In such a situation I would be on high ale...
I make no claim that I understand his schema. He laid out some information above, but I felt like it would take more time than I am willing right now ...
There's certainly that, but my point was more that I think many of us use the word 'know' while generally understanding that we might be wrong AND the...
So, these are mainly attitudinal. Which is good information for me. I just want to separate it out from the practical changes to the language itself. ...
So, how does one do this? I understand that eliminating 'know' is a good idea from your perspective. What other changes are needed? What are the signs...
If you can link me to where you have other definitions or give me a description here, it would help. Otherwise sure, I'm going to assume colloquial de...
I can see fear leading to order and rage leading to order. The law and order crowd often seems very angry. Fascists and other dictators who enforce ex...
If anything I would say fear is more ready to change stance. In any case we often use anger to bolster our stances rather than feel the fear that we m...
I didn't suggest 'knowing', I suggested referring to that set as better beliefs. You referred to some things as wisdom. That is also a category distin...
Yes. I didn't say anything about you not making assertions.I was responding to your statements not ignoring them. And I said nothing about their being...
Thanks for the quotes and search. It was mainly that word 'evil' I was surprised by, but I looked through the search and found some odd and interestin...
And wouldn't this better way include a collection of assertions that you think are better than pragmatist assertions? Aren't you dividing the set of b...
I tend to agree with this. I think using 'know' and 'knowledge' is fine. I don't take assertions put in those categories as impossible revise. Yes, it...
Yes, but people can manage to assert things in ways where they seem certain, without using know or knowledge. And they do all the time. In fact, I'd s...
So, if you or I labeled some beliefs that we thought were more likely to be true than others, that label would have to be delusional? Presumably inclu...
Is there another sense where it means something else? I don't take it that way. I guess I'd need to know the context to know if it is most often taken...
Yes, sub means under orginally, but it has lost that connotation, means part of the set. I'm happy to us any other noun for mean it contains some of t...
'mere' has negative connotations. and only can have the same meaning. Not necessarily, but possibly. Oh, it's only a regular pizza, no toppings. And g...
I wouldn't use the word only (or mere). It's a subset. Yes, groups can do this. On the other hand, given their methodologies, I trust the information ...
I did try discussing philosophy with you. You've perhaps forgotten. It had to do with cogito in a number of ways, including your incorrect interpretat...
Ah, ok. For many people when they make a claim about another person, it actually matters to them if it was correct. It seems from what you write here,...
Well, I certainly used your words in that post back to you. But there's no pattern. You misquoted Flannel Jesus, based your 'discovery' of 'his confus...
You misquoted him, and then you referred to this misquote as what led to your discovery he didn't understand. This was pointed out to you, and you see...
and viewed as a meditation or exploration it's very interesting. I'm certainly not critical of Corvus' behavior because he's skeptical about the cogit...
