I got myself a wife, and I now have homemade break for nickles (we don't have nickles.. but there we go lmao).

You have not been on roads where this is the case, have you? Or to NZ in general? hehe

You can't. You can infer based on a pretty nifty evolutionary trick of pain signalling through neurons. But pain signals get mixed up all the time and...

Again, a bare assertion. It has nothing to do with truth. You have described why not consistently questioning our apprehensions is helpful for washing...

It's directly on track, for the discussion - but you're right, there is no response. If what you're trying to point out is that my use of 'Red' runs u...

Ok, this clarifies what you're trying to say which I very much thank you for.... But this is just a silly as the previous version. It is about Biomech...

You would investigate a biomechanical reason for this. If V4 firing causes X cascade in the brain(resulting in the 'Red' experience, that is to say) f...

Incredulousness. It's utterly insane that cyclists are legally allowed in bus lanes. Utterly bewilderingly dangerous - and it encourages cyclists to b...

This isn't anythign to do with truth, but practicality. Taking those words as true is helpful.

That's a shame. The two phrases are in direct contradiction.

No, that doesn't seem to be hte case. It seems to be hte case that you're not really understanding what Michael and I have said in response to your po...

Is this to say you understand (if not accept) that Red the epxerience and Red the frequency range (if you insist on muddying hte water) aren't the sam...

Michael is now being slightly obtuse, but I think it's because he has answered this: The experience resembles the cause. The reading of a Geiger count...

Pretty clear Trump wont win now. I do think, though, that it's pretty clear it's not Kamala winning but Trump leaning into all his worst aspects - as ...

Haha, I'm not quite sure this is the conclusion that is required here - I think he's pointing out that it's likely neither are the whle story. But thi...

I really don't like mine, so It's hard to comment but I have an (i take to be) intrinsic, unshakeable love for Ireland. I am Irish, but I've never liv...

Here in NZ, cycles are legal on footpaths (we have a massive, shit-headed Green Lobby here that are insufferably stupid) and ............................

That is exactly what I said you said. It is the exact same claim: You cannot infer anything objectively. So i take the inference, but you cannot add t...

You quoted from the comment which is, in almost it's entirety, a response to this: You could add phantom limb sensation to this as an exemplar of why ...

I want to try to clarify this before responding - your position is that despite hte experiences being (at times, anyway) indistinguishable, they are n...

I would suggest the risk of designing your life oblivious to the dangers of lethal moving machines probably influences the over-all attitude toward ac...

Perhaps you missed the aim with that quoteset - I'm sorry if it was insufficiently clear. I was trying to clever lol. I'll remove the quotes and just ...

I don't really know what you're getting at here. China is not a very atheist country, at all.

Then your claim was misleading. 14.3% of China is Atheist according to those numbers you gave. The top five countries for atheist begin their ranges a...

No, it doesn't do that at all and that's also entirely irrelevant to what is, at base, an empirical question. Is a wavelength of light the colour we p...

Having made about the world translate to a conception of the world .. Hmmm, I'm not sure I can accept this position. Non sequitur with the fire part. ...

You are not making any sense. Nothing will be interesting to someone who both dismisses criticism, and can't put together coherent thoughts. This isn'...

This struck-out seems an empirical correction, to me. It's significant to how we conceptualise, though. They would. And if you want to say they are st...

This makes sense to me, yes. It seems a pretty good description of what's actually happening rather than some formulation of "how i think of it". I'm ...

While i understand that you've removed what was a problematic formulation, this boils down to the same problem. What is making that image white? Is it...

:up:

The same way you don't confuse the car on your left from the car on your right: the direction of stimulation is extremely influential on how we percei...

I see you have chosen to do nothing but slide further into ad hominem(and this time, it's outright racist). I am, again, not surprised. Please don't b...

No, and that's fair but not quite relevant. My point is the clear contradiction in the two quotes i put forward. If the above is your position, then t...

No, you don't. You feel the pain in your mind. Pain doesn't obtain in the cells of your toe. This kind of confusion is not unsurprising, or without it...

That is definitely not what "this pen is Red" means, or what a specialist is explaining. The specialist explains that Redness doesn't reside in the pe...

Yes, this is a profound issue with claiming Red is 'out there'. If it were, the description would pick it out from the world. But it doesn't. It picks...

Let's work through this: 1. I am in no way surprised; 2. - you said literally nothing of substance. I doubt you could tease apart what you meant from ...

: That's fair.

Well, yes. It's not my position, to be clear. But if you're invoking something which does not have duration or, at least, has a different sort of dura...

The basis for this breaks down into Humean skepticism nevertheless. I agree, it's a better model, but a model nonetheless. I don't think it gets close...

On his conceptions, that level of awareness isn't quite required to instantiate consciousness. But this just circles back to the definition problem :l...

Another version of why this is incorrect: A pencil exists at the same instance in time, all along it's length. But that's a continuum, not a set of di...

Yes sirr. Huge problem in conversation. But, with enough good faith, I've not found this to be an obstacle as such. At least if you work out that you'...

Mor-or-less but there is a baked-in continuity that would be missing on a bare conception of "moment - moment - moment" where dashes are arbitrary dis...

Yes - i was just pointing out more clearly this extends in both directions. Dismissing is probably the thing to be guarded against though, i guess, ra...

But...but...they are?

Certainly makes more sense - But i seriously doubt this formulation of soviet Russia.

Which bit? The rest of this lands in the same category as I assessed in the OP. That does not seem to be either the purpose (other than the (practical...
