Can you perhaps lay out which two aspects you're referring to, in terms of the scientific understanding? I cannot see any room for the weird "pain in ...

Athena was suggesting a bit of TE about how to prosecute crimes when the guy that did it at T1 isn't the same as the guy arrested at T2. I'm saying if...

Fair enough mate :) 1. Yes; 2. Choices. This answers nought. Sometimes those choices appear Red to me. This also doesn't answer anything ;) No. "belie...

Couple of times, yes. Less often than the common cold over the same three year period.

I genuinely think this thread has made it clear that the discomfort with this (apparent) reality is all that lies behind htis debate.

It's treated the same as any relatively scarce illness. For sure. Which is a shame, in light the first bit.

I'm not sure they amount to anything different. It could be otherwise, if Parfit controlled the DOJ.

I think this is a little bit of a red herring when it comes to theorizing in teh way we do here (or, philosophy in general). I think if the theory has...

I think, for me, it's a bit simpler: Not needing ethics would be a goal in this context. No human seems to be the only possible way for that to obtain...

These are all examples of physical touch, though? These are all situations where some physical force exerted on the pain receptors has triggered a sig...

I have provided several hundred words of analysis of your writing. You have addressed absolutely none of it - you've preened, ignored, and now devolve...

I do, actually. It strikes me as quite odd that you'd assume a lack of knowledge when I;'ve provided the sources... Your link has absolutely nothing t...

They do not. This is what 'taking it literally" precludes. This is not actually happening, no matter how it may appear so. Literally, the Earth turns ...

I have, though, provided you multiple academic legal opinions to the contrary - at least oen from within Indonesia. Malaysia, I am less ofay with. The...

Yes, i think so! Makes it quite hard to know where the competence ends for myself too lol

I understand it being questionable, but I do not understand actually thinking this. Pain is a sensation of touch with varying degrees to it - high-eno...

DELETED

Patently false. But, even so, you've acknowledge that the form of government violates your (1) in those cases. I understand what you're trying to get ...

Fair enough. I think this might have been what I teasing out. I'm unsure, as I didn't expect anything particular LOL. Thank you.

Ok cool. That clarifies most of what you've said, and makes a couple of things more opaque :sweat: But, thank you - my confusion is now slain.

Oh, I see where you've come from now. Hmmm, I do not think that is the case. I don't think Europe will actually tolerate what underlies your point the...

No, they don't. The majority of governments outside of the west violate either (1) via religious/sex-specific regulation or violates the underlying de...

Yes, I think this is a fairly clear take on how the difference obtains - your underlined doesn't relate to the philosophical issues much. But in pract...

Ain't that the truth. I think this makes a lot of commentary on him redundant, too. Russell obviously had some insight, and the original translators t...

Israel is on the fringes of 'the West' to be fair, though. It's not as if the we're going to scramble to her defence in a religious conflict. I think ...

Certainly could., and I personally don't quite have positions on those. "The self" to me needs to align with identity, which i essentially do not thin...

LMAOOOO. Fair enough

Ah, no (after reading your response), this is my bad. "any given red pen" should have been the phrase, because it matters not what instance we're talk...

I see this as an intractable problem. I think 'your' side, as it were takes the "just get on board already" take. If not, fair enough - it feels as if...

The left in Australia has taken after the US far more than the right.

Ok, right, so then there's a Yes/No answer here: Are you suggesting the Red Pen is actually out there, in the world, whether or not it is perceived? A...

Above pls LOL

This skips over what I am asking you to point out - which is how that actually is the case if we're saying "red pen" is a phenomena of the mind. You a...

I can't be sure, obviously (i'm sure from without, i'd think this about NZ! My family certainly did). But, on best-estimations: Ireland, Italy, USA(pa...

Am I am asking for a justification. Intuitively, I am (and have been) agreeing with you. They are clearly different experiences. My point in these las...

Hmmm, what would that have to do with what I've said? The claim is, roughly: Whether or not one takes the media seriously is based on whether it suppo...

This is unfortunately, quite unhelpful. That obtains in all three cases and provides no basis to delineate. None. This is literally something I am ask...

This is a circle my guy. Not uncommon in Kant, it seems. Onward..

LMAO, nice. unenlightened it is :P Are you joking, or just being weird again? This country doesn't "allow" me to reside here. It is legally obligated ...

A "world beyond appearances" in this case, is just the world. It is not veridical to claim the stars and Sun orbit the Earth. It is a cheap and cheerf...

Hmm. I agree prima facie with your formulation. But, this presents a bit of an issue to me. When do you actually 'see' a Red pen? Given that we only c...

LOL fair enough then mate.

Yes, I see this. But there is a tenuous, speculative connection to fascism involved in the analysis. Is there something deeper being indicated here?

Witty's? You need only be about a 16 year old who is not on Tik Tok to understand that he is full of it, most of hte time, and wants to upend things b...

Phenomenally, there isn't. But I don't think he picked up what you were asking. Which is, cause (otherwise, his answer is a complete one and presents ...

You seem to be ignorant to the entire world of philosophy. And a dick. https://againstprofphil.org/author/z/ https://academic-sexual-misconduct-databa...

I think what's being said is that, unless hijacked from without, this is what hierarchies do as a matter of course, rather htan an aim of them. It is ...

With respect, this is an obviously wrong, and obviously biased interpretation of what is going on in these scenarios (acknowledging many of those 'typ...

Hmm. It seems to me consciousness is not a quality and cannot be conceptualised as a quality (so, in turn, a "qualitative state" is also inapt. It is ...

I can't see the * comment, but this is plainly a misuse of 'literally'. If taken 'literally' it is, after investigation, entirely false. If taken as a...
