God the posters that pass for 'moderators' on this site is a real, real blight on the face of it.

Looks a bit silly, organisationally speaking.
May 20, 2024 at 20:00
No one understands Witty because he makes extremely little sense. It takes a certain level of gatekeeping to maintain a character that think it unders...
May 19, 2024 at 23:16
Forgive what must appear a quite glib response, but this line, to me, explains your entire rationale. This seems plainly, empirically wrong. Ants, cil...

So, Hume aye.
May 16, 2024 at 23:41
Should I just be ignoring this weird tangent?
May 16, 2024 at 23:29
What? And this is also in relation to your next post?
May 16, 2024 at 23:26
Infinite regress is fine. Trying to escape it is where trouble arises, in the absence of relevant information.
May 16, 2024 at 23:21
You made the assertion. Beginning to think you don't understand half the words you use.
May 14, 2024 at 22:40
If you have some conclusive proof of the phenomenology of antelope agony, that would be interesting! I see you've entirely ignored the necessary relat...

1. Is inconclusive, and somewhat indicative that this cannot be done for self-reported pain. THe correlations are weak, or antithetical viz. : "No cor...
May 14, 2024 at 19:56
What are they? Your next lines were simply states of affairs without any argument about whether or not it should be. It's certainly rational, on avera...
May 14, 2024 at 07:48
Hilariously, I initially wrote the post this way: You continually mistake 'state of affairs' for 'moral fact' and respond with Emoji's when this is po...
May 14, 2024 at 04:26
You're not, though. You're just asserting certain values/disvalues not based on anything. I've put forward: We have biases towards other humans (as op...
May 14, 2024 at 04:24
Nothing in this is moral. You continually mistake 'state of affairs' for 'moral fact'. It will be an extremely interesting post when you come up with ...
May 14, 2024 at 03:36
Sorry I missed all this - It wasn't in my notification list! I have explained why (it is irrelevant what Kastrup or Chalmers think - though, as far as...
May 14, 2024 at 01:38
I had extremely little to work with. You can't blame a man for the tools he's given.
May 14, 2024 at 01:18
To the end above, avoid Banno and 180Proof :P Great guys, but they do like to mock here and there. Not to me. But I am probably scantly above the leve...
May 14, 2024 at 00:36
Ah okay, fair enough. Thanks. I am back to following the exchanges now :P
May 14, 2024 at 00:28
(aside) you may be interested in a book called DMT: The Soul of Prophecy. You can disregard the intention of the book, as its subtext - and simply rea...
May 14, 2024 at 00:21
Can you outline what you intend to be up for discussion? I have thoughts, but your thread appears to sort of engineer its own success. Not much room t...
May 14, 2024 at 00:12
No.
May 13, 2024 at 23:56
Thanks Carlos - I would have disagree prior to this post, that you're discussing it. Onward... Why? What's the basis for unlearning it? (i realise thi...
May 13, 2024 at 23:54
I can smell your farts from here, Vera :) Not too bad.
May 13, 2024 at 23:31
Could you maybe elucidate this? I think this is a completely wrong statement. I see nothing in it. Emotivists (to my knowledge) don't claim that you a...
May 13, 2024 at 23:29
It is reality. I have asked you to put forward something that either discusses, or displaces this. You have failed to do so. So, once again, can you p...
May 13, 2024 at 23:23
This makes no sense to me. Reality is that humans are biased towards humans because we're human. You've provided literally nothing else to support any...
May 13, 2024 at 22:35
I think life is a lot more than suffering. I am unsure anything displaces the centrality of suffering, though.
May 13, 2024 at 22:29
I agree. However, it doesn't seem to me a non sequitur to reject this reasoning because it's not objective. Perhaps this is why I have more comfort wi...
May 13, 2024 at 22:25
You're mkaing some utterly preposterous leaps. What I said was a non sequitur was this: (have fixed the formatting, though)Which has nothing to do wit...
May 13, 2024 at 22:18
Unfortunately, yes. If the world is designed such that pains indicate, very well, what to avoid, then its still end of. Excesses aren't exactly attrib...
May 13, 2024 at 22:09
I reject this. There is not. I defy you to point at it.
May 12, 2024 at 23:02
You've inserted several bits of fact-specific information in your objection that don't exist in the claim. Much pain is beneficial. End of. This is pr...
May 12, 2024 at 23:02
I think I would conclude that this can be distilled into 'arbitrary'. We use that term in reference to basically 'unchangeable' characteristics elsewh...
May 12, 2024 at 22:55
Not at all. That you deny all of the suggestions he put forward is extremely perplexing. Swathes of pains are beneficial for various reasons. I am tel...
May 08, 2024 at 23:09
The seriousness with which people take the Stormy Daniels situation is utterly bizarre. It's the lowest level bullshit one could worry themselves with...
May 08, 2024 at 23:04
"the greater good" seems tenable only on a Consequentialist notion. Otherwise, there is no way to extend one's concept of 'Good' to 'greater' or 'less...
May 08, 2024 at 22:59
I would agree with Lionino here, that this isn't capturing the position very well. The concept of truth is not veridicality here, so the same types of...
May 08, 2024 at 22:56
But do you not see - this IS incoherent? If everything is mental, there are not external objects. That can only appear external. There is nothing to b...
May 08, 2024 at 22:23
This seems self-evidently wrong. Plum claiming we know good and evil from birth is both counter to the evidence, and is somewhat incoherent in it's ow...
May 08, 2024 at 21:33
In some sense, I agree, but hte idea that its an 'object' to be passed about is, to me, incoherent even on views other than my own. Other than PLatoni...
May 08, 2024 at 07:09
You may enjoy Chamlers treatment of intensions when speaking about logical possibilities. In his view, the intensions differ - so 'that tree' as a pri...
May 07, 2024 at 00:08
No, but I think you're in the right ballpark. I think the notion of good is something inherently informed by experience, but its not something that ar...
May 06, 2024 at 23:32
Hmm, I don;t think this is quite right. While I understand exactly why you've landed there, its seems entirely right to say in world A' there is only ...
May 06, 2024 at 23:31
You have essentially stated the 'further fact' (in the conceptual sense, anyhow) in this: || (A couple of examples of what some posit as the 'further ...
May 06, 2024 at 22:57
Behaviour viz adaptation, metabolism, sensitivity (in the physical sense) do not entail experience. Yet, we have experience. It appears to be somethin...
May 06, 2024 at 20:46
Then your position is entirely incoherent. Unless you hold a further fact view, your position rests on denying what is required for it's coherence viz...
May 06, 2024 at 20:35
I have genuinely no clue how you could possibly grok this from my rejecting an actual source, based on its track record of being a steaming pile of sh...
May 06, 2024 at 20:34
I'm unsure this is an argument. It may also be empirically wrong, and we misdescribe, or mislabel the evidence of such. A huge number of people claim ...
