other rules like quus. there are probably a multitude of them which are consistent with all of the addition you have ever done so far in your life and...
Its logically valid so I don't see the issue. Also, don't forget that quus is only one example of many other possible rules so actually you have been ...
Yes, but if you care to think about it, the behavior is consistent with other rules. Your selection of a single rule is based on intuition not on some...
That there is a fact of the matter about what rule is being followed. It is a subjective matter because you are appealing to your intuition subjective...
So what, some truths are intuitive and some are unintuitive. Their intuitiveness has nothing to do with objective truth. Intuition is a product of you...
Well I think I have somewhat of a reply to that in my initial post. Yes, its computing solutions for equations of motion in physics. Yes, I still thin...
I am sorry, I don't feel there is much fruitful to be gained in continuing this specific conversation. I find it very difficult to engage with your wa...
You know what, I think I must have misread this. I was thinking about we don't have to know explicit definitions to use words and children don't learn...
This is obviously not true especially when you consider how a child learns. I don't see how these are inaccessible in the same way. Violet is inaccess...
Can you demonstrate how quus is dealt with by the approaches you have said? Well, on the face of it, this sounds not disimilar to Wittgenstein's meani...
Who actually has a suggestion though? I don't think a fundamental ontology can be characterized because all explanations are functional and rely on ou...
Yes, obviously induction is one of the big parts of this, but I wasn't intentionally referring to that. I was referring to the idea of starting with s...
Intuition really doesn't matter because its arbitrary. What is intuitive to a human may not be intuitive to an animal or an artificial machine. What a...
I think you can. If you can make up arbitrary rules like quaddition then you can think up infinite many rules which give describe all the same process...
Well you can use sets of concepts with different meanings to refer to the same thing, enables by the natural underdetermination. There is a forward pr...
In what way? I don't see it as pessimistic at all or that anything is lost. What does a solution to the hard problem look like? I don't think there is...
There would only be a logic to countermand if there was a sensible definition of these things in the first place which specified the correct behavior ...
If we want a complete description of behavior then I believe that a better term would be a neurobiological-ist which I think many people would find to...
I don't think the so called hard problem can ever be solved. All our explanations are functional, that is therr nature, so how on earth can there be a...
Actually, thinking about it, I don't even really know what it means for the universe to be physical either in a similar way, since all I have is my ex...
What does it really mean for the universe to be mathematical though? Doesn't seem like its about platonic math objects floating around but if not that...
Well what have you been arguing? I think in many ways reflecting on experience is just that though. I feel like people can have radically different vi...
But so what? Unless you can show that someone cannot use those "parasitic" concepts and that they don't or can't work, then what is to say it matters ...
If it was them having fun surely they would be bored of it by now. The persistence of this phenomenon us what you would expect if it was just our mind...
Ive always found that the way humans have interacted so far with "aliens" is too bizarre for it to be actual aliens and is more likely just like Peopl...
It is proven under Fine's theorem here: https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?cluster=2543155278787880428&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5&as_vis=1 That Bell violation...
I don't really understand the connection as I have read in your comments so far tbh. Neither do I see a real significance in the distinction between "...
Not quite, If I am understanding you correctly. Its saying that because quantum mechanics under this interpretation is solely about long run statistic...
Yes but for the purpose of this topic it doesn't really matter. Talking about the nature of the self is does not really have an impact on what I mean ...
Semantics really, isn't it? There is no self! Well you start to get into a slippery slope here because modality is something we make use of all the ti...
Depends on what you mean by arbitrary. There is a reason we tend to label things in a certain way and its to do with how our labelling and description...
Yes, I don't believe in that. There was a typo. Should have been : "But that doesn't mean you believe..." How else can you conceptualize your thoughts...
Sorry, late reply. Ideally I would like to think of myself as having an anti-normative stance philosophically, generally anyway. I'm not really sure w...
Because this is to say that your conceptualizations are the same as your ontology of the world. For instance, everyone believes in feelings which you ...
Well this is fair but I think it is also in some ways a straw man because most people who say they are physicalists will not have some kind of naive p...
This just shows a misunderstanding of what is at stake imo. It is clearly obvious that in general, people do not have a problem in performing coherent...
If someone could prove you were doing quaddition it would equally defeat the point of the thought experiment in the same way that proving someone can ...
Yes, this is what I have been talking about all along. But at the same time, a reduction is a special case of a correlation in the way you're talking ...
When I am talking about reduction here, I am talking about an explanatory relationship. If experiences are purely representations or information about...
Yes and I think we cannot know what that what-it-is-like bit really means as I believe you suggested somewhere earlier Well I think this is more or le...
Its interesting there's this impression that Kripke has misunderstood Wittgenstein or not even attempted to but I find Kripke's interpretation more or...
Not saying that cats necessarily have analogies but I think these animals are much more complicated than people give tjem credit for and this dichotom...
Yes, this is more or less what I mean. We infer constructs in the physical science from those perceptual representations so that those constructs expl...
I may actually have to go back on my agreement on this one because thinking about, someone might be able to just formulate a more specific rule which ...
This is fair I think. Yes, agreed. I guess I do kind of agree with you on this point in the way you're putting it now, I think I was just thinking abo...
