nothing he says has to do with your "agencies" though. He is addressing physical mechanisms.

lol....that is not what Hillary means by the term agency....

-That would be gullibility....

-Well no. Your way of thinking is typical of the period before enlightenment when our superstitious beliefs projected agency in everything. lol I can ...

life might be wonderful....having to deal with superstitions in 2022 isn't that great.

you're making me really sad Hillary. You are a young individual with free access to knowledge but you are trapped by your iron age heuristics...

You need to objectively demonstrate it...not just assumed it. Agency behind nature was the single reason why our epistemology stagnated for more than ...

Correct. Unfortunately many people get confused with human language. As agents we tend to see agency behind nature....even in our attempt to describe ...

And how can you objectively demonstrate the truth value of your claim. You say that you have a solution about the mystery of the universe and life. Ho...

How can you reasonably do that? You will need objective facts to justify such an acknowledgement. Do we have any available? Have we ever solved a myst...

Sure. I only pointed out that your experiment and questions can be addressed by the common definition of the term...plus it would put us all in the sa...

You think you do (due to a fallacy) but you haven't. You just ignore the ontology of a phenomenon (either from Personal Incredulity fallacy or a gener...

Yes, and it would be a good idea to include the definition challenged by the philosophical inquiry.

In every Philosophical study you first need to define your terms. I think the definition will provide an answer to your question.

ITs 2022....and we still argue against logical fallacies and supernaturalism. This is really sad.

You need to demonstrate that a phenomenon is non natural (it can not be produced by natural processes) and then point to the mechanism that qualifies ...

So your unwarranted assumptions render your syllogisms non philosophical.

Believing in the existence of something without being able to identify it as real is irrational
