I am not. I am alluding to bodily identity. It is subtle, to be fair but distinct issues, imo. A perfect replica is still a replica. Is that a bit cle...
You don't control it. And no, you are not that. It is something which happens in your body without your knowledge. Unless you believe you consist in s...
I really don't think you're grasping the responses to your point. This one is a prime example. Why are they adding a new member? And if there's no par...
I didn't content they did. Not sure where this is coming from. This doesn't have much relevance to my position, or the claim, to be clear. For sake of...
You have explicitly moved the goal post. It is not under your volition. That is the point. You have no control over it (other than by brute force, whi...
This is, expressly, the problem I am having (and one I wanted to highlight within 'woke'). That is ironic, unfortunately as I think it is what's happe...
You have almost no control, whatsovever, over your heartbeat. It is separate to even your brain's control center. You do not control the vast, vast, v...
This is, expressly, the problem I am having (and one I wanted to highlight within 'woke'). That is ironic, unfortunately as I think it is what's happe...
Yeah, decent and absolutely worth discussing. I think there's a mistake being made though, where there's going to be a rejection of totally sound idea...
I have wrestled with Parfit, and his teletransporter for a couple of years now. I think this is the correct answer to the branch-line case. Any "one" ...
I don't understand what you're describing or trying to set up here. This doesn't jibe with anything we've said, that I can tell. The follow ons seems ...
What i mean is that people who can provide reasons, and not either deflect (which, I think personally, Anthony is) or move on to epithets, threats, im...
I understand. But if the principle reduces to "certain physical descriptions as between objects and processes are invariable" then it does hte same th...
Yes. Of course this one example - but one of plenty. (i'm also only trying to illustrate hte attitude - not decry all 'wokists' on the same basis). I'...
A totally fair position, imo. For me, its hte underlying assumptions in even the use of the word "trans" in these contexts that has me thinking a bit ...
Well, I'm not even quite sure what you mean by that so i responded in kind, there. So yeah, not sure what you mean. You could mean a few things: 1. al...
They saw a 28.2% y on y drop in sales at the highest effective point in June 2023 and 20% stock loss by the end of May that year. That's about 26 Bill...
Hard to tell. Habermaas is one of the least-clear writers I've come across. In principle though, yes, that's fine and preferable. The question was mor...
That makes sense to me - and makes sense of many intuitions. I think properly, though, the word would simply be a description of a physical process (o...
That has nothing much to do with me. What I'm telling you is they are not synonymous (which is an empirical fact. Wokists do not play out hte tenets o...
Almost entirely as expected. A non-engagement. You have experiences. Either argue against that, or argue that you don't know about them. IF you do kno...
I'm not against IP rights. They don't sound sufficiently similar to get me to take up the case, even. I wouldn't have had the client back for a second...
Oh, i fully agree. I'm just putting forth what I think will prevent Banno from interacting with it sufficiently, and where I think that may be able to...
Lewis or Pierce? If Lewis, Banno rejects the premise of what he was doing. There is no sense data. The only thing i see saving this, for the purpose o...
This happens prior to your whim and fancy. You can't read them without thought. That's a direct cause of activity in your brain and consequently, your...
:up: Yeah. I think that's quite important though. Bad faith is the most common currency at the present time (maybe, always). Seems to me to be true, e...
The transfer of certain particles from heated air (or metal, i guess) into the water, ramping up the potential kinetic energy in the water until it ca...
I, again, am wholly convinced you're trying to have a different discussion, and save the term from what is clearly a current actuality under its banne...
I see some, what I take to be, confusion in the direction of how these things work, so forgive if something seems out of step... I do not think causat...
The issue for me here, and this goes direct to Kim i guess, is that we need not then fall into a "physicalism of a kind" to explain the oddities which...
It's this part that I think falters. For the person who rejects your moral position, you wont be taken seriously. There are plenty of 'woke' 'commands...
Its been at least a year, and that's just since i've been here. I'll take a crack. So far so good... That's one use (but much research is equivocal as...
I don't think too many people would shy away from this. It's the underlying justification and detail that makes people squirm. Who holds the guns? You...
Morality can be rational, but there is absolutely no non-telelogical way to make it 'legitimate'. I think this is the majority of the problem people a...
I find it hard to understand causation, properly, in physical terms. I've been reading a bit of Kim lately and "near enough" seems the best level of e...
I'm not sure what you're talking about/referring to/wanting to clarify. So, maybe something below will help lol. Only my first couple of lines were ai...
Yes, I agree with that. I think that's possibly where you and I have fallen out on this topic previously. We don't agree on what's also going on there...
I'm not really making an argument here, but comment (and on the two parts of the above quote separately). If qualia are private experiences, we can st...
One of their best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps6JhuXoRsI I'm-a gonna go, Gonna load my shot gun Point that barrel right where it hurts Ain't no ...
Please try to say something relevant instead of drive-by emotional outbursts, lest ye be hypocrite #1 :) Hmm. Having read several of the more substant...
Very much enjoying most comments here. The only thing I'd say is that it seems to me we're still in the middle of all this. We're not really past, or ...
So, I have three points. Please take hte first one gently, as I conclude somewhat different to how this reads (also, ignore the bolds until the conclu...
It would be a database. The US is woefully inadequate when it comes to record keeping, particularly cross-state and cross-department, it seems. I don'...
