Apparently, you read about a 10/10000 of what anyone on the opposite side wrote. This has been attended and move past multiple times. You trying to dr...

I'm sorry, but at this stage I am pretty sure you are incapable of rational discourse with another person. I have read two/three of those books. I hav...

Above.

Unfortunately, this seems to have ignored the vast majority of what I've said, and run right into the same confusion i teased apart earlier (agreement...

I really appreciate you putting in the time and effort for this response!! Thorough, despite some of my views below. Good stuff Constance :) Hmm, It f...

Direct - there is nothing between my mind and itself. That's the nature of the distinction. I have direct access to my experiences. Not their causes. ...

Have you been reading this and the Trump thread? Not only are mainly democrats partial to this thinking, its a pick-and-choose situation. Though, remo...

No. You do not have this. It may be helpful that where you clearly do not understand what someone is saying, you simply ask for clarification. This se...

Science is a method for ascertaining facts about hte world. Facts about science are plainly different things? I'm not sure what's missed there so I'm ...

No, they aren't. They refer the exact same categories of property and present hte exact same distinction, lost in common-use of hte words involvd. You...

(Y) Very hard to answer this one without just claiming the opposite with empty words. Nice.

This could be straight from the Kant's mouth. Nice. Fair enough - I've been following the thread, but admittedly haven't read much mroe than what's be...

Yeah bang on.

I find it extremely hard to think his arguments actually lead to this conclusion. Logically, there must have been something for life to come in to. So...

I can take this one: Art has no right/wrong value. It has good/bad value (and subjective, at that). Science is the opposite. It has right/wrong values...

Please explain this line to me like I am a first year phenomenology student.

Hmmm.. I think it's possible you're talking about it at a level which I am not. Sure, I agree that prima facie, that fact is interesting, plus part-an...

I think all I meant there was that the outcomes aren't hte science, they're the indicator of success. Science, as a method, doesn't care about the out...

Well as one, that's how they come across. I couldn't give a squirt of piss who wins - I'm just calling it like I see it. They come across as cartoonis...

I find this a very, very weird take. Why would it oppressive to not be in a car? I didn't drive until I was about 26 and have never in my life felt th...

No, not always - retrospect isn't all that relevant here. If we can only tell the difference by dry comparison, then the events themselves are not phe...

The essentially difference between the sciences and the humanities is cross-culturalism. Science, as a method, is not culture bound (in the general se...

LMAO

This doesn't work unless you're already partial to it. To someone like me, who is skeptical of taking any of it seriously, they come across saccharine...

Ain't that the truth/s :P

Please explain this line as if I was a first-year ethics student.

Sure. That is not what they discern. That's my point. You discern this difference. That is not what is happening when the average person refers to bot...

This runs into the distinction. They are wrong to think they would see Red. In THAT sense, the star is not red. And it seems to be by design.

You can't possibly be lacking this much in humour. Ah well. I prefer human interactions anyway ;) I don't think this is really apt. They don't know th...

That is one way of getting around the possibility you missed it. Perhaps we are destined to throw this at each other forever :)

Ironically, you've missed my point completely - and it was a linguistic one. Haha, i suppose. We'll see around this corner again, i'm sure :) I think ...

I've not argued that. I've argued that 'red pens' are not 'Red'. Perhaps you've twisted yourself up in the language hehe. Reference is tricky when you...

Ah, you're one of those. Possibly this isn't the site for you if this is how you respond to people you don't know about htings you've got no understan...

You've done absolutely nothing to support this. You just assert it - maybe because you can't think past your visual field ;)

Motorneurons. There is a cause, and an effect. Contact with C-fibers at a sufficient level is the cause. Pain is the effect. They cannot be the same t...

I did. You are continually incapable of exchanging ideas. Ignorance is not a virtue, Constance. Just say you don't understand, or haven't read into so...

I take it you're an asshole cyclist then? Hehehe. Showing your hand rather obviously here, given what I said was an anecdote, not a political essay. N...

Our public transport is a laughing stock and large for this reason - I've been stuck behind cyclists and been alte for work many, many times on a bus,...

Because the experience is not in the objects viewed. It is in the mind. This is why a Blind person can adequately assent to an audio symbolic represen...

I can't grasp what you're saying. This is plainly not true.

I have probably misapprehended you then, but this seems like more a comforting thought than something which can be 'objectively known'. Banno's cups n...

I have directly answered this, here and elsewhere. If it is not landing, I apologise. But restating a question I have answered doesn't help me much. Y...

Bread-a-leg. I smell an LLC.

False. Plenty are colour realists and believe the colour red exists outside the qualia Red. We are having this exact discussion elsewhere. It would he...

Yes, that may be true. I think something we could probably agree on though is that your description of the last lets say 10 weeks indicates that Trump...

You seem to be under the impression NZ is going to magically become rich in the next few years. These are the same delusional takes of the Greens. San...

I think the exact reverse is true. "the colour red" is not anything but the experience of Red. Otherwise, you're talking about a symbol. And there are...

That's my feeling lol.

I do not think this is the case. The complaint (using that word mildly) you're making, and the 'confusion' you seem to want to point out isn't a confu...

You're having a separate conversation. This is not a thread about linguistics. Respectfully, not enough to understand what you might mean here. An att...
