I would too. Amorality appears to you against a background of morality, and vice versa. Could be a result of hot sauce about to be drowned in some awe...

We also have a Parthenon.

You two are just fun to pick on. Be well.

With Pfizer's technology they can make a new vaccine in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately it has to be super frozen, so it's not ideal for protecting w...

I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

Morality is only half the concept, right? The other half is amorality. You could say when we jump into the car, this is amoral Eros. There's no good n...

I'm going to have to ask you to stop exhaling CO2 until you can prove it isn't dangerous (also all that hot air).

A functionalist says there are only functions of consciousness like reportability. There's no extra awareness. IOW, functionalists basically think we'...

Some of this stuff would require a global government. Experience with the real world would convince you of that.

That's so true. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/La_Boh%C3%A9mienne_endormie.jpg/300px-La_Boh%C3%A9mienne_endormie.jpg

I think Nietzsche is like several truckloads of feces into which a few diamonds and sapphires have been scattered. My connection to Nietzsche deep, li...

It makes it easier, faster, and cheaper to keep up with mutations. There's every reason to believe it will save lives going forward. The more efficien...

Although, the investment in this vaccine technology will ultimately save lives in the future because it will speed up response to the next asshole vir...

Yea, well. Thanks. :grin:

That's what I do. :grin:

They don't owe you a show of empathy.

He saw that in both Christianity and Schopenhauer, the Good is in the direction of the grave. Consciousness requires the story arc which inevitably co...

They're conscious by a functionalist definition, aren't they?

Not trying to be a referee.

Thanks.

We don't know if vaccinated people transmit at a lower rate, per the internet.

I meant the context of the use of the word, "art". For Nietzsche, we ourselves are the work of art, the challenge being to become conscious of this. W...

Meanwhile you and praxis have become enraged over the problem. Really?

I think this point will make more sense to people who are into conceptual art. "Art" has different meanings depending on context of use, right?

Ok.

Sure. And one of the mistakes we made was trusting the WHO. That's just a fact.

Fair enough. It's not that I don't trust the CDC to have good intentions. They just haven't been leaders through any of this, which is unfortunate.

I've been angry with the CDC since they screwed up the testing early on at the cost of helping the US lose control of the virus. The WHO likewise reli...

You're right. I just meant that science doesn't really offer soapboxes to preach from. People make science into a church to back their misanthropy or ...

If we can't rationally pick between them, something irrational has to decide. It's personal bias, isnt it? Some political theorists believe there's a ...

:up:

Oh, it was just that you said you followed him, and you seemed to quote him repeatedly. You were just looking like a groupie there for a second.

I see. You referred to yourself as a follower. Is it more pupil? Or disciple?

It kind of sounds like you've made a sort of guru out of Fooloso4.

Yea. I was interested that it said attenuated live virus vaccines provide broad coverage for CoVs. Maybe they need to start working on those (if they ...

So it's not entirely rational to adhere to the prevailing scientific view. It's weight comes from the fact that conservative people (in the best sense...

Yes. I don't think there's really one all-purpose definition of art. The value in debating it is that it leads me to think through my ideas about it, ...

Maybe there's some degree of meeting.

I really don't think this is true. It's more like an artist's work is like a seed. Something grows from that seed in the viewer or listener.

Maybe I have? I'm just not familiar with terminology.

I'm not getting how Dewey's "aesthetic experience" is different from experience in general. What other kinds of experience are there?

That's odd. I would have expected you to.

There's an idea that the mind follows the chi (if I'm not mangling that). Think of garden design where a poorly planned garden turns the mind away, bu...

Are you familiar with feng shui?

That's a minority view.

So as to emphasize how fundamental Chalmers is to philosophy of mind (that 26 philosophers offered responses)?

I see what you're saying.
