Love what you say here. Peachy. May the physicalists meet us both in a dark alley. But then it seems you are not a physicalist, so that's not a good e...
I think you are right, in general. I think it has to do with physicality and intimacy. Touching another person, especially with any force, ups the ant...
But we barely notice a lot of our thoughts, at least if other minds are anything like mine, and after interrogating a lot of people - at least, I thin...
If we go back to the original statement, the focus is on what YOU believe, not on what others believe. That's what piqued my interest. It presented it...
You would try to find counterevidence to your own theories, whatever they are. This could take many forms. But it sounded active in your description. ...
Yes, Randi has done a version of what Janus described. Though one has to be something of a celebrity to apply to the challenge. I'm interested in gene...
That's a little different from.... Attempting to find counterevidence sounds active to me, not simply reacting to a perceived lack of evidence. IOW do...
OK, I don't think I've asserted that - not that you said I did, as far as I've noticed. It leaves room for it to be a means of self-observation (and i...
The lie is first you present historians' works as based on fact, religious works as based on made up stuff in a binary presentation. I point out how i...
Though that's quite different from Deleuze or Derrida, say. You could give an example of a philosopher who you have not read but feel you can dismiss....
I think that leads to all sorts of confusions. Knowing what not to belief would still require a belief. Which is why in philosophy, knowledge is consi...
But the analogy would be someting like thinking he doesn't know he is a fan of that team. If one does not believe in introspection, the odds would be ...
Which many people carry out. People can be fallible with reasoning also. Some people are terrible at reading other poker players, some are good. We wo...
'it'? The very idea of introspection? That one should believe in introspection as a source of knowledge? I love the idea that you are rejecting my bel...
Thanks, that made things a lot clearer to me. Perhaps they thought it was complicated. Of course this could be me projecting. Money as source is simpl...
lol, I haven't the slightest idea, despite rigorous ongoing introspection and other cognitive processes, where you post lies on the spectrum of partly...
If this was a response, in part, to me, let me clarify. I don't think from introspection alone one can get knowledge of others. I think it can be used...
Couldn't we say that they were realists (not saying they were right) who thought, this stuff makes people do things, so.... we'd better organize thing...
I'm afraid I am not coming to neoliberalism's defence and ask for forgivement for naughtiness. Generally in neoliberalism there is the idea of economi...
Perhaps anyway. I am not the least a Kant expert. I would think that the causes of immoral behavior and what is moral are quite different studies, off...
So how would or should this play out for a physicalist or someone who thinks that the paranormal or the supernatural - as used as categories, not that...
I think you can get information about others via introspection. It can show you the effects others have on you - obviously suceptible to bias. This in...
Well, if we look at this for example.... that sure sounds like monotheism, likely Abrahamist. God in the singular, not god as one of many. The list of...
If one, on the way to procreating, person reads this argument and does not have a child, that will change the lives of future generations in millions ...
Ah, a conspiracy theorist, who would have known.:razz: I think different forums attract types. I see that in another forum I'm a part of. It's a quite...
You presented it as simple and binary. It's not. One day you'll learn to concede points, or you won't. It doesn't come off as strong, it comes off as ...
Earlier in this thread you defended against the idea that qm effects might interfere with pure determinism by quoting wikipedia that at speeds much sl...
The countries who follow different historians send the experts to do the killing, for example. And the experts are not the historians, but the soldier...
But you can have qm level effects moving large organisms. But you don't have to worry about this. qm either consider random or statistical - I'd lean ...
I can imagine that being a factor. That would mean in part that it's the topic that is part of what bothers you and not just the quality of the discou...
Hard to disagree with, but then...I will bet that the analytic side of philosophers thinks the continental side is often word salad and on some level ...
I don't know how to interpret the citation marks in this post, and really I was mainly playing, but if you start a thread, I'd be happy to join with m...
Oh, but then the determinists always come in and demonstrate that humans can't create either, stuff just happens. That the epiphenomenon has a folk be...
That doesn't surprise me. What surprises me is how many people think their parents were immoral for birthing them. New thread here..... https://thephi...
Yes that would be the implication,which I had a moment of concern over. Since I am reifying knowledge. What if it is, in fact, knowledging, rather tha...
If Baden is correct and they are posting in the right category, and presumably in threads where they are on topic, I am not what the problem is. There...
I did say earlier I don't think saying introspection in the category knowledge makes sense. Can introspection as a process lead to knowledge? that mak...
