Yes, I think it's an idea worth entertaining that this universe we find ourselves in is a bubble, in a sea of other unique non interacting bubbles. Un...
the different possibilities don't necessarily have to interact with each other, do they? It's like running two simulations on the same computer "simul...
Well, given that THIS universe is possible, then there must be at least some part of THAT universe which looks exactly like this one. So... at least f...
If this is truly the argument given, then I don't see an undistributed middle. Are you sure you got this part right? after having watched the clip fro...
I don't even know what you're talking about, judgey and bullying. You've been judging and bullying me for the last page. I just wanted to offer a link...
point out something clever? No... I tried to contribute something straight forward to the thread, a data point of interest. I thought people intereste...
I honestly just want you to accept that, in a thread where the title is about trusting your own mind, it's on topic for me to link to a Reddit post ab...
I don't need to you explain philosophy to me. If you want to talk to me, what I need you to attempt to make clear is your own thoughts - you didn't do...
yes. If you perceived me saying some post of yours read like a non sequitur to me as rude, just know, the point of me saying that is not rudeness or c...
This is a thread about trusting your own mind. I linked to a Reddit thread about a dude who was having trouble figuring out how to trust his own mind....
you have decided, for god knows what reason, to just start saying rude things to me. I don't understand what the context is for you to be speaking to ...
why are you doing this? If you want to reply to me, then please tell me what the hell you're even talking about. If you don't want to make it clear, p...
I have no idea how any of these words relate, at all, to anything I said in this thread. This whole conversation seems beyond absurd. What in the worl...
I just think you've interpreted a bunch of stuff into it that isn't in there. The guy is saying something very straight forward and there's nothing po...
much of what you're saying here just comes across like a complete non sequitur to me. I have no idea how a guy saying he doesn't trust his own reasoni...
If he doubts his own ability to reason, and his own ability to reason leads him to think he should trust science, then OF COURSE he's going to doubt i...
I really don't know what you're on about anymore. This thread is about trusting your own mind, trusting your own judgment, trusting your own ability t...
this guy's post is also an epistemological problem. "Why should I accept any scientific conclusions?" it's a question of epistemology. If you, yoursel...
That's... 100% a matter of trusting himself. He literally spells it out in his own words in the post and/or comments. "I have no ability" His talking ...
There's an interesting case study here in trusting / mistrusting your own mind https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateEvolution/comments/18lbtt9/how_do_i_as_a...
I think it might make more sense to say "causality has a *reason*" rathern than causality has a cause. Things that are true have a *reason* for being ...
I think it's a really strange thing that some peoples first inclination on hearing about the death of someone is to try to discredit them or list all ...
When it comes to the supertask of counting a "countably infinite set", by exponentially decreasing the time it takes to count, here's the problem I ha...
So why don't you just link me to the reading materials that would lead me to believe that the supertask you described in your op is possible to comple...
I think that if you're not good at maths and logic, I would think that you might not be in a good position to know if this is a valid paradox or just ...
Here's what Wikipedia says about paradoxies `despite apparently valid reasoning from true or apparently true premises` - that's key! The premises and ...
Yes, but usually where the contradiction occurs exactly is supposed to be *non-obvious*. "He went down some endless stairs, and reached the end". It's...
I don't see a reason to think that a person will reach the bottom of the infinite staircase, ever. You described it as endless, and yet claim he reach...
I don't think the intention was for physics to be a problem. It's probably supposed to be a purely mathematical problem, it's too fantastical for phys...
I get an occasional email from Quora about interesting questions and answers of the day. By pure serendipity this came up today: https://www.quora.com...
I'm not seeing what you're seeing in that comment. Distal objects being part of the casual history of an experience doesn't make them constituents of ...
