Just seems to beg the question to me when you're proposing it as a means to adjudicate whether something is or isn't within said color category. Seems...
Point 2 may be a bit poetical, all depending on how we want to hash terms out. I mostly mean that you shouldn't doubt your perceptions of one thing ju...
Here's an image I created out of two color picked items, one from the teal (what was white-ish) table, and one from a part of a strawberry: http://img...
I would say that the picture is made of pixels, but to say that the picture simply is the pixels isn't quite right. For one, there is the arrangement ...
My problem with this approach is that the spectrometer doesn't see red. The spectrometer absorbs photons and spits out some data based upon this measu...
It's worth noting that there is zero evidence for a number of beliefs, some of which include beliefs about what counts as evidence for which we surely...
Maaan.... liberals in the U.S. are worthless. Which is basically just a rah-rah, yeah, but hey -- rah-rah yeah. ;) I know who I'd vote for -- but it's...
Thanks for the suggestions, all! These were exaclty the sort of recommendations I was looking for so I could begin tracking down books, and then build...
Sounds like the sort of game I'd like. Boss fights were a big part of Hyper Light Drifter, but so was the exploration and dungeon crawling. Yeah, whil...
Hyper Light Drifter https://youtu.be/nWufEJ1Ava0 I just beat this game. It has it's own unique flavor, but it has been compared to the old Zelda games...
I'm kind of grouping these since they are related. I think, broadly speaking at least, whether a robot can identify a red card from all other colors i...
I actually dislike his approach, here, because it seems to me to be committing the very mistake that generates the hard problem of consciousness in th...
Let's back up a bit here. In this particular discussion the distinction between consciousness and where I am located at within my body is important, s...
On your third question -- Epicurus believed the mind to be located in the chest -- where we tend to have a two-part mind, one in the head and the othe...
Golly, it's been wayyyy long since I've read Hume. I remember being very impressed with his argument though when I did read him. But I also remember l...
I did do that with paint.net color picker first :D. They were, indeed, grayish-greenish, and as I put blue on the blank canvas it began to look red. O...
Good point in saying it's the image, not the dress -- though it might be the case that the dress could appear this or that way in different environmen...
Sure. I didn't mean to say you had to be an expert and lay it out for me -- only that these are the questions I think people should ask when they hear...
When did I have a conversation with my brain? Or does it speak to itself? Obviously this way of talking is supposed to convey something -- but what do...
Only if there is no difference between the parts and the whole, though. If the strawberry image just is the pixels, then I would agree with you. But i...
Hrmm, I usually see panpsychism being proposed contra naturalism, though. At least, self-described naturalists would often object to panpsychism, diff...
I'm tempted to lay your emphasis like "We have experience" to say that we are the sorts of being which have experiences, but that doesn't mean is fals...
I'm not sure if that's directed at me or just something to keep things on track. I'll clarify why I asked how Heister is using ideology just in case. ...
It seems a terrible answer, but it really does just depend. Useful for what? I don't know what principles you're reflecting on here that have been los...
I don't think the man off the street thinks in terms of realism, idealism, physicalism, monism, etc. But I wouldn't then say they have no metaphysical...
It can help to write out some thoughts. Why not give it a try? People will be more amenable to conversing with a post of substance and exchanging idea...
Yes, I think so. Though when you say: I'm less inclined to believe so. Or, at least, I believe such beliefs can have practical effects, but it wouldn'...
to take a stab at some sincerity, though: I thought the comment was referencing the "deep state" -- what that will actually entail in terms of policy,...
It seems to me that the OP sets the initial 'boundaries' of a discussion, and that the author of said OP has the priority to alter those boundaries ov...
The twist here is that you're taking away one of the main points against homosexuality -- that it is not natural. If you believe the one is committing...
What, exactly, needs justifying? It strikes me that those who believe homosexual acts are morally wrong are the one's that need to justify their state...
Well, yes. I saw the connections :D. But I'm still in digestion mode, I suppose, because every time I'd try to highlight this or that it seemed more o...
I understand that to be the case, too. Not surprising since a lot of mastering 'organic' languages isn't in the basic rules, but in the exceptions, th...
Heh, me either. I'm more asking after your thoughts here than some kind of definition. Your clarification, while vague, is actually helpful. :) That m...
I will say that 'bleen' isn't something that I believe needs to be ruled out. I don't believe that this is bleen, or that grue, but "500 years ago all...
I'm just playing with some thoughts here: I have near me a plastic bottle filled with isopropyl alcohol, and a cardboard box filled with paper securit...
