ding ding ding ding ding ding. Seems so, but I've always found this claim dubious. I think it's hard to accept that your view needs rewriting. I don't...

My thoughts are that this is the type of high-school philosophy that leads one to fall into a life of activism instead of growing up into a functional...

fair enough! I like that :) Thank you mate.

INteresting.

Oh, okay, I see what you mean. That might be a language issue - Emotional dispositions are the only possible grounding for moral choices. But that liv...

To me, nothing you've used to object to the position has any effect on it. You're, in all cases, bringing the mental phenomenon to a physical fight. T...

Not at all, but as you'll have picked up, this is not how i view Hegel :P Your last paragraph is the same type of muddled i'm getting elsewhere, so I'...

No. It causes (in general terms) the sensation we take to be caused by the range on the spectrum. That sensation is termed 'Red'. There is no red in t...

Yes, that is why my response is a bit of an objection. "colour" formally, is the experience of (sorry, caused by, in most cases) such and such light f...

I think we're all a little bored and narcissistic. Some of us think /pretend that actually means something. Most of us realise it's a nothing. As to t...

That's not doing any lifting at all. A scanner can match frequencies of light based on a human programme of light=experience tables. This doesn't help...

The Scotsmen want their truth back.

If only there was an emoji to represent eyes being in the back of one's head.

I'm not quite seeing where this relates to the contradiction noted? (response to bold below this all) If we literally cannot know anything about hte i...

I think this is true - but then whence comes: These seem to run into each other quite violently...

There is a theory of time (which I've never seen treated properly, but has never been taken seriously either)which states that time sort of flickers t...

(not in pursuit of the greater discussion here - I am just motivated to ask prima facie..) I am unsure these answers can be given as readily as you're...

LOL, well okay that's fair! I think that's why Chalmers does (and should) get the respect his book actually commands. We don't have much to go on, lol...

Yes, I think this is a serious potentially insurmountable difference in approach. He (we (Wayf and I)) see it; others dont. Solving a problem that isn...

At the absolute minimum, it is stuck at that position. So, I think Michael's position is entirely tenable. Neuroscience doesn't indicate that consciou...

No, I am responding to what you are saying. There's not a lot of point quoting previous statements, and they would contradict what I'm trying to clari...

Fair enough. If you find a glib use of a clearly inapt term "anti-scientific" rather than a bit of fun, I'm unsure where to go :P

And this opens up the possibility of 'consciousness surviving the body" hehehehe. Let's not though..

Ah, fair, that was very much insufficiently clear. Where i put that, I just mean to indicate that we don't know (which ironically, is Carroll's view, ...

Because of the remainder of my post... The majority of your responses seem to indicate this. That colour is mind-independent and that the eye and mind...

Are you suggesting that the science of vision doesn't explain Red? Then how can you claim what you've claimed? I smell Tuna...

To some degree, sure, but framing it that way is some extremely bad interpretation. That there are gaps in knowledge doesn't require invoking God. But...

I think we'd have to solve the fundamental problem: What does personal identity consist in? There are various views: The bodily continuity view (think...

Crack an egg into a coffee cup half-filled with water and microwave. Poached eggs in seconds. That said, don't do it.

This is a non sequitur for the ages. I did warn about this - continental philosophy is rhetoric only. That's why teenage boys are still finding Satre ...

Fair enough!

Hmmm this seems a really, really difficult account to accept. Is this to say that there is a 'correct' mode of seeing, and anyone who sees 430THz and ...

As noted earlier though, if any personal God is 'true', we are wrong to think this way. We are simply not listening.

:up: :up: Perfectly summed up imo.

What a bizarre level of irony. That said, it's clear you have an axe to grind. I'm sure you'll continue through several more failed states.

One baked-in element of God is His moral correctness and the source of ethical and moral truths. We would have to be wrong on (in fairness..) almost e...

It's hard to commit to a formulation of this part, but I think this is a bullet to bite, in terms of its vagueness. Yes. I don't see a problem. I'm an...

IF that's how you see yourself mate, be my guest. I just think you're dull and self-obsessed.

Let's say these two sources are not ones I would go to for discussions on anything remotely philosophically interesting. This is his only question tha...

Looks like @"Hanover" has covered it, but on any conception of Bad Faith i'm aware, you coming here to say this instead of talking to your wife about ...

It doesn't. It both makes it distinctly harder to grasp what you mean by all the random, nonsensical formatting - and It makes you look like more of a...

Absolute banger. Good to see some eclectic tastes showing up here..

That we're wrong. That's baked into the description, really. If God's morals differ from ours, we are necessarily wrong.

I cannot be overstated how utterly bereft of reality this is. You had to eat crow about Biden the same f'ing week this took place (i.e the ass. attemp...

I'm unsure it matters what came before this suggestion. It is clearly true, and leaves us with quite a bit to catch up on.

I think this is a red herring on your part. We are clearly talking within a context. We are not randomly picking out versions of 'freedom'. We're talk...

Largely, the suffering the AN refers to is a result of hte higher consciousness of humans. Though, some ANs absolutely go as far as to insist we shoul...

Not quite, no. I do think it would be better if people were ANs to the point that I believe people should not have children. This is proscriptive, and...

LMAO that may be a good move
