Is this relying on the pre-Epstein stuff for Trump?

*sigh*. Okay buddy.

That's an extremely broad and in-depth comment. What specifically were you referring to for me to respond to? I suppose my next bit may answer... I am...

No, i'm actually just directly responding to things you've said. You seem to be responding to things I havent. eg As i noted earlier, had you wanted m...

Sure, and that's not in argument I don't think. But attaching hte word 'truth' to it unjustifiably semantically rarefies the concept beyond "my feelin...

HI mate - sorry I didn't reply to this. So, from what I've read recently in the literature there have been some fairly key concessions by climate scie...

Yeah. I mean, some of the most key players seem to have been exonerated in some sense, but there are all these weird names popping up like some you've...

Could you explain what you were getting at? It's pretty obscure, and in Law "might" is not relevant. Actually being good at investigation and research...

Those are two different situations. Well, they did. They just weren't able to help because largely those slaves were taken by conquest. Similarly with...

Oh, sure. The Moon is cheese in my mind.

Yep. Given that I have family, a boss (two actually) and employees under me - give me a thought experiment? I can't see where you want this to go. I w...

Fair enough if this is where you land. It seems clear, based on this response, that you're not adequately taking into account what Chalmers is saying ...

Yep, didn't miss this. I think you're either missing that it's been dealt with, or you are not being honest about reading Chalmers. If consciousness i...

That is how he feels. There is no reason whatsoever to start calling people's feelings truth. If my feelings contradict yours, we cannot have two trut...

Hey man, as always, you're free to think and feel as you wish. You continually assume no one but you (or those who agree with you) have the correct in...

No. That's not what he's saying. What he's saying is that all our work is ahead of us. I don't quite think this is going to go anywhere. Take care.

You showed me evidence of why it's not a genocide. I can't do a lot. When all of your posts are nothing but venom, who can?

I just gave you a direct quote where he does. This misunderstands Chalmers to a degree I have to ask - have you read any?

Definitely, for some people, this is what they need to be told (although, we obviously don't see hte issue hte same way generally - so, I'll give a re...

It's not. I think this is a way to avoid looking at the videos and go off a fairly vague, unactionable take on what's going on. Again, we're discussin...

Very good post.

I think perhaps confusing types of property like size and shape with consciousness might be causing some issues here... I think you're perhaps just fi...

I note three ad hominems and only one response that tries to address what I've said. Cool. I suggest you read things carefully and thoroughly before l...

Then, with all due respect, why does anyone else have to care, acknowledge or acquiesce to it? I suggest it is because is what's going on - this is si...

So, legally, we have the facts: there is video evidence of their breaking and entering (already committing a crime), assaulting officers prior to anyt...

More importantly: The recent trend which matters to those of us who are alive.

I think you did, but I also think "pseudo" problem is probably wrong. We can't really explain consciousness, or describe its instantiation. I am under...

I can't quite understand what hte prior line has (directly) to do with this question, but to answer it: Yeah. It is not tenable in the face of the emp...

Not seeing the issue?? Are you ever going to make claims you can back up? This one would be actionable if you had any public personality.

This isn't happening and, as elsewhere, I challenge all the alarmists to come back in 24 months time.

So, trolling. So be it. I did suggest similar things time and time again. This is unbecoming. You are forgetting the entirety of hte exchange and reve...

1. *decree, apologies. Danto. 2. Yeah, that's fine. You could add by human hands, rather than machine, but I'm unsure this would do a lot to my defini...

That sounds like the OP says - a stopped on rational discourse and a retreat from a potentially fruitful discussion. To me. It seems wrong to use 'tru...

Stereotyping is acting on statistical analysis in a situation where a case-by-case analysis is warranted. Its profiling taken to a point of essentiall...

War is unavoidable and theories that want it removed from human existence are full of ignorance, historical whitewashing and claims that undermine bot...

You don't even know what you're saying, let alone what the dispute is. You think your intuitions are arguments and deal with complex empirical issues ...

I suggest you skip to the final, bolded line and really put your adult pants on and think hard on that question. *sigh* mate, you're asking me to re-s...

LOL fair enough. I agree with Banno, except that straw man (IRists explicitly reject that we know the truth about the world, and instead respect that ...

I think you may well enjoy Anthropocentric Purposivism conceptually. It's basically an attempt to account for the premise (i.e the unreasonable alignm...

That seems very much the case! I thikn his type of teaching is more of a stepping stone to being well-adjusted. It's just that bad adjustment of the e...

Fwiw to the thread, the reason I stopped is because asking simple questions of Buddhists generally results in incoherent platitudes, despite Buddhists...

Their view? Confused lol. No, I'm joking. I've outlined it, to no objection several times in the thread: That real-world objects are constituents of f...

It really, truly is not a war of definitions. One side wants it to be that when it's not, and has been explicitly, clearly spelled out in other terms....

Oh my fucking God, you guys are parrotting the Russian nonsense now? It's going to be exquisite coming back in another two years.

Lol. Okay bud.

We live in entirely different worlds. I suggest yours is a bit unfortunate. Take care mate.

I suggest this is either closed or move to the Lounge for both content reasons, and to avoid the inevitably adversarial exchanges if people respond.

Again, with respect, that is utterly absurd. An aggregate of more than 1000 first-hand experiences trumps yours. Sorry.

Absolutely indefensible verdict acquitting Palestinian Action 'protesters' of aggravated burglary and GBH which the judge should have thrown out immed...

You posted a propaganda site. I posted three peer-reviewed studies that you did not read. You are not capable of a rational exchange on this, it seems...
