I don't think you understand what many of the phrases being used in this exchange mean. My knowledge is based on the scientific explication of these c...
Who did? Kant? Sure. There's no reason to deny that physical objects cause perception of physical objects. I think probably the distinction you want t...
For the exact same reason we call a burned CD pirated. Audibly indistinguishable, but one is original and one is note. These are facts that seem to ma...
Then all physical jobs, of any kind, are prostitution. But that is obviously, and clearly ridiculous. If for no other reason than "prostitute" serves ...
The post-cloned original isn't a descendant of anyone. They are the same person. The clone isn't a descendant either. They are a copy. When you burn a...
Yes, and that's the general consensus because we already create entities in our minds, in waking and sleeping consciousness. There is literally zero r...
That, again, ignores what matters here. I'm going to just leave it, because it seems like statistics aren't really working here. They can't, as best a...
Words aren't abstract. They are sounds (or, written symbols). They are not like numbers. So, no, i don't mean to say that. It might be worth reducing ...
This is key. Even on relatively acceptable arguments about psychological continuity being what matters for continued existence, this difference will a...
The worst I've read is a piece by a philosopher unfortunately, Andrea Long Chu. I came into it in good faith. I'd been told that this writer was parti...
I'm not sure i understand hte question there. Can be a little clearer? I've never said words cannot be given between interlocutors, to my knowledge. I...
It's like because its trite, immature and ignores the specific criteria that causes prostitution to obtain. Also, attempting to denigrate other pursui...
Unfortunately bud, this is the exact wrong reading. I have posted the statistics in full elsewhere, because they are on my desktop computer at home, b...
Not at all, I've explained in quite minute detail why this is hte case, on my account. This would have been a clearer way to illustrate hte point, tha...

I am currently obsessed with this guy from Nebraska, by way of Nashville named Evan Bartels. Dude has some of the most incredible songs I've heard in ...
That does not seem right, at all. There is no cessation of consciousness during sleep. There is a dampening. Your pre-and-sub-conscious are all fully ...
Hmm, the problem with this is that it is not. What is a lack of emotional intelligence is thinking that someone else can say something which carries w...
Right, so what I've said is this: You are either lying, or not reading my responses before replying. The latter is impossible, since you're quoting my...
This is exactly wrong. You don't know how you produce your every-day experiences, let alone hallucinations. There is simply zero reason to entertain h...
I am, quite explicitly, not. On a psychological conception, it doesn't change anything about what i've said. Either you survive or you don't. The intu...
I think this is well-worded. The noumena aren't necessarily esoteric, just as if they are in a room we can't access, so its not as 'mysterious' as one...
Yeah, reading it back it's confusing. My point is the 'truth' seems to function the way I've described, anyway. The example to give, which I think is ...
I've actually not seen/read Notebook. Possibly aging myself (downward...). Yes, it's pretty difficult. I found it extremely hard to conceive of my dem...
Hmm. What else is there to truth? I can't see anything particularly special about observing directly something B which is logically required for A to ...
You're missing the point. We do this, and gain secure inferences which are not part of the logical or empirical assessments at hand. I don't quite see...
This comes somewhat from the context (which is why I gave myself an out for misunderstanding) but I'll give it a go: Partial survival would mean partl...
How I feel is not observable, but the truth of it exist only within myself and cannot be observed, even by me, because I am having the feelings. Direc...
I think it is quite clear that what's being pushed back on is the hijacking of progressive ideals within a non-progressive social framework. The contr...
Not to me. These functions are optimized in different places. I don't think reading/crunching numbers is one where 'feelings' are helpful as opposed t...
I don't think this is right. Either you survive or you don't. How you survive certain seems up for grabs, but there you cannot be 'part there'. You're...
A fair point. I can't say I'd think the same. I would also add that lucidity, at times, tends to come with all but end-stage degenerative mental disea...
False. I have given you the reasons people are made uncomfortable. This occurs when anyone does it. I cannot grasp how you're missing what's being put...
Because I am intelligent, and it is occurring inside my head. There is nothing to be explained. We understand how this occurs. We create entities cons...
Interesting, thanks for the clarification. That seems fundamentally way less off the mark :P I suppose my point was more than, as a third party, we wo...
Oh, i'm definitely with you. It was just a comment on the version put forward in the OP (i.e the world in which a mind exists - which is not hte exter...
No. This is clearly bollocks. I gave you several reasons, which have nothing to do with being trans. Please stop putting words in my mouth. You may. M...
