Hello Philosophim, The problem is that you are saying your definition fits the colloquial settings better (which you strongly advocate that we stick t...
Hello Mww, Sorry the for belated response, but it took some time for me to give your response the proper thought it deserves. Firstly, if you think th...
@"Philosophim" I just thought of a clearer way of expressing the implicit use of correspondence theory of truth in colloquial speech, and just wanted ...
No, I agree with it; but it does not make any claims metaphysically about whether one is an immaterial mind or a mind-independent organism. By my ligh...
Hello Chiknsld, Yes it is. The reason I am asking for clarification is because there are two major ways the term 'cognition' is used, and I have no me...
I appreciate your clarification! I see that you removed in #1 the clarification I had in parenthesis: was that incorrect? Do you mean something else b...
Hello Chiknsld, ChatGPT (; I appreciate your response, but I think we may need to take this a bit slower. I propose that we just try and tackle our di...
As an idealist, I would say that so long as a human being is alive they are conscious: so it becomes, for me, a question of whether I consider the fer...
Hello Chiknsld, Again, even if you heard of it in college, it is a self-undermining argument (for reasons I already stated), and is only used to attem...
Hello Mww, But wouldn’t Einstein’s argument also be explained metaphysically as: It seems like they are incompatible views, but Einstein’s empirically...
Hello Chiknsld, I disagree with this ‘morality’ vs. ‘ethics’ distinction exactly because of this: To me, this is a semantic move to justify your own m...
Hello Philosophim, Gettier arguments don’t demonstrate your theory of truth: it is compatible with both of ours. Gettier was demonstrating the faultin...
Hello Philosophim, You seem to think that your definition ‘truth’ is predominant in society and that mine is not; but they are both aspects of the sta...
Hello RogueAI, It depends on what you are exactly meaning by ‘moral status’, but based off of your example, I would say no. They can have different mo...
Hello 180 Proof, To me, whether it is expressing something subjective is if the hypothetical is an operation of the mind as opposed to something mind-...
No. It is very clear that drinking is always bad for the child, and the CDC clearly reflects that: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/fasd/alcohol-use.html#:~...
Hello chiknsld, We just have very different definitions of ‘ethics’ and ‘morality’, which is totally fine. For me, I use them interchangeably as the s...
I don't think this quite depicts physicalism, as it implies (usually) that it exists mind-independently. So saying 'mind is physical' is shorthand, by...
Hello Mww, Yes: other peoples’ thoughts. I see. I just don’t think Einstein was conceding that mathematical propositions find their certainty in the u...
Hello Philosophim, Fair enough! To speak briefly, using your definition: 1. Is redundant with the term ‘reality’ 2. Does not completely capture its co...
Hello LuckyR, You have absolutely no clue what gender I am, and you clearly misunderstood the analogy. This maybe be a perfect analogy to compare two ...
Hello RogueAI, It is immoral to drink or/and smoke while pregnant, as they have been demonstrated to cause many health problems for the child (after t...
Hello Chiknsld, Interesting. If everyone is entitled to a say over their own bodies, then wouldn’t it be ethically permissible for me to refuse to hel...
Hello 180 Proof, Although maybe I have before (I can’t quite remember), I wouldn’t now: I would say that the type of existence is ‘mental’, which just...
Your paraphrase is of schopenhauer's metaphysics, which is all fine and good, but doesn't paraphrase what I was saying in the quote you have of me; as...
Not at all. An analogy is a perfect similarity between two relations in wholly dissimilar things. In order to understand an analogy, one must understa...
I agree with this sort of legality: if one is pregnant, then they have to consider the child and, thusly, cannot use drugs; and that absolutely should...
Hello RogueAI, I never claimed that they were equivalent to abortion, but, rather, that they are analogous. You seem to think, and correct me if I am ...
Hello 180 Proof, I am unsure as to where the confusion lies, so let me just re-state it and I will let you go into detail about what you think the inc...
Hello Philosophim, I absolutely disagree: let’s break it down. To say something is ‘in accord’ is another way of saying ‘in correspondence with’, so w...
I disagree. Let me give you an example and let me know your take on it. Let's say there's just me and a little kid at a pool (and I don't know this ki...
I think you misread what you quoted of me, as I was claiming that mind cannot be 'non-being', which would be required if existence itself was mind-dep...
Hello Philosophim, Semantically speaking, I contest the idea that truth as reality itself is the norm in society: a hazy correspondence theory of trut...
Hello chiknsld, I disagree: why would she have that sort of absolute right to bodily autonomy? I see. I think that the right life, just like the right...
Hello Mww, By “impossible for that thought to not have occurred”, you are referring to math being a necessary precondition for the possibility of expe...
Hello Philosophim, Under my theory of truth, the ‘real’ (in the sense of simply what exists) is never ‘true’ but, rather, is a part (an aspect: a comp...
Nope. I do not think that 'being' unfolds from a mind, as that mind would be 'non-being' then, which makes no sense to me. Instead, there exists, fund...
Hello LuckyR, It isn’t that I haven’t thought of the scenario where one uses contraceptives but, rather, that I hadn’t thought about how that ties to ...
Hello 180 Proof, I don’t believe that is true at all. All that is required for idealism (and solipsism I might add: not that they are similar at all) ...
Hello LuckyR, This is a good point that I had not thought about before; however, you aren’t going to like my refurbishment (of my view) here (; I woul...
Hello Apustimelogist, I agree. Here’s how I envision it: Level 1: I intuit X. Level 2: Someone provides me (or I myself provide) counter evidence, whi...
Hello Apustimelogist, That is fair: I just like to elaborate a bit more as ‘follow your intuitions’ seems a bit ambiguous to me (and doesn’t precisely...
Hello LuckyR, It matters for morally and legally weighing what should or should not be legal with respect to abortion. If she had consensual sex, then...
Hello 180 Proof, I see: I have never heard of dual-aspect monism before. It sounds like substance dualism, but clearly is not: what is the difference?...
Hello 180 Proof, I see: that would be qualified as moral facticity. However, I neither think that a promise is implicit (to one’s biology) nor that my...
Hello Mww, Well, it appears as though Einstein didn’t share Kant’s view that math is a priori certain: So is it that the math behind these behaviors i...
I disagree with pinning bodily autonomy (i.e., consent) vs. right to life principles against each other as absolute principles; as they are not, and i...
