Hello @"Philosophim", Fantastic points! To keep this condensed into one response, I am going to try and address your points more generally (but let me...

Hello @"Philosophim", I apologize for the double post here, but I've had more time to think and wanted to share a bit more with you (so you can mow it...
February 25, 2022 at 04:24
Hello @"Philosophim", Likewise, I thoroughly enjoy our conversations! I have a lot of respect for how well thought out your positions are! I don't thi...

Hello @"Philosophim", Let me start off with a concession: you are 100% correct here. I apologize for the confusion; I am currently slapping myself upo...
February 21, 2022 at 16:29
Hello @"Philosophim", No problem! I do think that you aren't quite following what I am trying to convey. So I am going to keep this response incredibl...
February 20, 2022 at 21:44
Hello @"Philosophim", I agree. Furthermore, I really appreciate your elaboration as I now understand better where exactly you are coming from. Likewis...

Hello @"Philosophim", If I am understanding your analogy correctly, then I would say (1) you are agreeing with me that discrete experience is not syno...
February 14, 2022 at 20:58
Hello @"Philosophim", I think we may, after all, be attempting to convey the same underlying meaning with "conceptualization" and "discrete experience...
February 13, 2022 at 01:42
Hello @"Philosophim", I agree, I think we are still not quite understanding each other, so I will try to do my best to respond to your statements (ver...
February 09, 2022 at 04:46
Hello @"Philosophim", I think that, although I completely understand that it seems completely unrelated to your epistemology, the first quote pertains...
February 06, 2022 at 14:42
Hello @"Philosophim", Thank you! Same to you! I wasn't bringing that up with any implication that you weren't attempting to understand the underlying ...
February 05, 2022 at 22:36
Hello @"Philosophim", No worries! I always appreciate your responses because they are so well thought out! I think, before I address your post (which ...
February 05, 2022 at 19:11
Hello @"Philosophim", Yes, but I don't think an "irrational induction" is "despite the application contradicting the belief" anymore, it is when is is...
January 30, 2022 at 17:34
Hello @"Philosophim", I think the comparison is more relevant when you actually have to choose between the two. As a radical example, imagine someone ...
January 29, 2022 at 20:25
Hello @"Philosophim", Yes, I think we are on the same page now! I agree. But I suspect that you are only referring to the comparison of plausibilities...
January 28, 2022 at 22:49
Hello @"Philosophim", I apologize for such a belated response: I've been quite swarmed recently. I think that the first sentence here is sort of like ...
January 28, 2022 at 02:11
Hello @"Philosophim", I appreciate that you put your concerns (with respect to potentiality) in a such a concise manner, as it really helps me, on the...
January 23, 2022 at 19:01
Hello @"Philosophim", Thank you Philosophim! You are a marvelous philosopher yourself! I am also thoroughly enjoying our conversation. I agree in that...
January 21, 2022 at 17:04
Hello @"Philosophim", Although I understand what you are saying, and I agree with you in a sense, potentiality is not based off of hindsight but, rath...
January 21, 2022 at 04:52
Hello @"Philosophim", It is completely up to you, but I think that inapplicable plausibilities should be a plausibility; It is just that, in order to ...
January 19, 2022 at 04:50
Hello @"Philosophim", I agree with you here, but my point was that it is an inapplicable plausibility (which means we are on the same page now I think...
January 16, 2022 at 01:43
Hello @"Philosophim", I am glad that you are feeling well! I don't think this is necessarily true. It depends on what you mean by "applicably known": ...
January 13, 2022 at 19:43
Hello @"Philosophim", Oh no! I am glad that you are recovering and I hope you have a speedy recovery! This is all and well, but I think you defined "p...
January 10, 2022 at 02:29
Hello @"Philosophim", The dots have finally clicked for me! I think I understand what you are stating now and, so, most of what I said has been negate...
January 04, 2022 at 18:08
Hello @"Philosophim", I agree: I think that we are using terms drastically differently. Furthermore, I don't, as of now, agree with your use of the te...
January 02, 2022 at 04:44
Hello @"Philosophim", Absolutely splendid post! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! Upon further reflection, I think that we are using the terms "possibi...
January 01, 2022 at 03:39
Hello @"T Clark", Although I may have just missed it, I think that most of this discussion has been centered around free will vs determinism and the i...

Hello @"Philosophim", First and foremost, Merry Christmas! I hope you have (had) a wonderful holiday! I apologize as I haven't had the time to answer ...
December 26, 2021 at 01:10
Hello @"Philosophim", I apologize, as things have been a bit busy for me, but, nevertheless, here's my response! Absolutely no problem! I really appre...
December 16, 2021 at 03:46
Hello @"Philosophim", I am glad that we are able to agree and discuss further as well! Honestly, as our discussion has progressed, I have realized mor...
December 13, 2021 at 23:43
Hello @"Philosophim", I think that the first issue I am pondering is the fact that neither of our epistemologies, as discussed hitherto, really clarif...
December 12, 2021 at 17:48
@"Philosophim", I see now! I now understand your epistemology to be the application of deductions, or inductions that vary by degree of cogency, withi...
December 10, 2021 at 05:04
Hello @"Philosophim", I agree, I think that we both understand each others' definition of "I" and that I have not adequately shown the relevance of my...
December 09, 2021 at 02:23
Hello @"Philosophim", Thank you for the clarification! I see now that we have pin pointed our disagreement and I will now attempt to describe it as ac...
December 08, 2021 at 00:07
@"Philosophim" I am glad that we have reached an agreement! I completely understand that views change over time and we don't always refurbish our writ...
December 06, 2021 at 14:47
@"Philosophim" Also, I would then be interested to what you refurbished definition of distinctive knowledge would be: is it simply discrete experience...
December 06, 2021 at 04:17
@"Philosophim" I think that we are in agreement if you are removing the idea of awareness from discrete knowledge. However, I am still slightly confus...
December 06, 2021 at 04:09
Hello @"Philosophim", Although I understand what you are trying to say, this is factually false (even if we remove my claim that thoughts are sensed)....
December 06, 2021 at 03:15
Hello @"Philosophim", Thank you for your clarifications of your terminology: I understand it better now! I see now where our disagreements lie. For no...
December 05, 2021 at 22:11
Hello @"Philosophim", Absolutely no problem! I would much rather wait for a detailed, thought-provoking response than a quick, malformed (so to speak)...
December 04, 2021 at 21:38
@"Philosophim" Absolutely no worries! Take as much time as you need (no rush): I am looking forward to your response (:
December 01, 2021 at 03:13
Hello @"Philosophim", Firstly, great work! I enjoyed reading your collection of epistemological essays! Since it was a lot to unpack, I am going to si...
November 30, 2021 at 01:54
Hello @"Philosophim", I see your dilemma now, and, therefore, exactly why you are utilizing causality instead of explanation. Although I think that ut...
November 21, 2021 at 00:57
Hello @"Philosophim", First of all, I would like to thank you for such a splendid, thought-provoking conversation! Moreover, I also think that we are ...
November 15, 2021 at 23:24
Hello @"Philosophim", Firstly, I would concur that it is, indeed, impractical to completely disband from induction. However, I don’t really agree with...
November 14, 2021 at 03:04
Hello @"Philosophim", Before I address your most recent reply, I wanted to apologize for a such a late response! With that out of the way, I will now ...

November 10, 2021 at 03:32
Hello @"Philosophim", I really enjoyed your post (regardless of the position I would take on the issue at hand) due its thorough and substantive natur...
November 09, 2021 at 03:44
@"Edy" First and foremost, I really enjoyed your analogy Edy. However, I must say that I do not agree with it (on multiple different levels). Don't ge...
