Yes, exactly what I am disputing.

That is what I am disagreeing with. I don't know what it's like to be the person standing in front of me at the bank, either.

Nagel asks, What is it like to be a bat? What is it like to be me? I am the things I do and think about. What's the mystery? Nagel thinks bats are so ...

I think the 'what is it like' concept is either incoherent or meaningless. From Nagel's paper, the concept he tried to explain does not really make se...

Yes.

Yes.

Why does it have to come into existence?

Respectfully, please state the thesis you are arguing for.

Fair definition. Agree.

Agree.

My conclusion as well.

What is the frame problem?

Please explain this sentence, hard to understand.

No.

Again, I said nothing about science.

Goodbye.

Finite or infinite do not seem the same as saying there is no beginning.

What does beginning have to do with chaos?

Human processes are programmed. We don't cause our brain to have thought.

Both.

Why would that be?

Same with humans. Not being sarcastic. Most humans are not creative. Most don't have awareness of their feelings.

What is the logical contradiction in the universe having no beginning?

I think it is connected. After all, "relativism" means everything is relational, so there is no absolute measure of all truths.

As a process. Not merely a function of the physical.

No, it learns and is not just repetative.

Inferior minds think nothing is true but what they already believe.

Insults end discussion.

And I am not a scientist so I do not care what they do.

No. Mechanistic science did not use it to explain motion. That's all.

No. Anthropomorphism is the idea that humans are the only reality and thus purpose can only be a function of human agency. Leibniz criticized mechanis...

Purposeful in constructing more complex objects. Diversifying itself and being different from itself. Producing objects which are new.

One property of Intelligence is the ability to respond to the environment and make new things. I would also call the evolution of the universe from th...

No more mysterious than that the universe exists.

Electromagnatic waves do not move through either, that is the analogy. I am saying that consciousness is no more mysterious than the fact we think, wa...

Still time to send in your revised paper!

Yes, that is what I am saying.

No. I don't know how you inferred that.

Writing Sample A writing sample must be submitted with the online application. Scope: The sample must address a substantial philosophical problem, whe...

I sometimes think consciousness is like the old theory of ether. Consciousness is the ether through which thought takes place. Of course there is no e...

How is AI different from human intelligence?

Exactly. So, "artificial" intelligence is just an extension of natural intelligence.

No. I never really understood what Aristotle meant by "art imitates nature." But he considers nature to be a process so art imitates that process. So,...

Could you name some?

Why? There are lots of things in the universe. Why privilege the human biological mechanism?

Some think intelligence is a function of human biology. So, there is natural intelligence and artificial intelligence. But artificial intelligence doe...

Many philosophers are interested in the philosophy of science. But if you look at statistics of jobs offers for philosophy professors, most are not in...

Good. I was reading about enactivism in grad school and remember reading Varela and being interested. Had too many things to do to go further.

Then nothing further to discuss.

Why would anyone want that?
