It's hard to deal with this level of sheer prevarication. Do you hold a further fact view about agents/identities/persons?
May 03, 2024 at 05:30
Religious beliefs are, on the whole, irrational. Hurdle has been stumbled upon.
May 03, 2024 at 05:03
And if one rejects this? I don't think this is true, personally. Consciousness does not extend at all.. It couldn't, on any account of it i've heard. ...
May 03, 2024 at 05:01
I note you have not replied to any of my objections to that very point. Again, I understand the objection. But your position is entirely incoherent an...
May 03, 2024 at 04:41
I've posed you several questions. I await thsoe answers before embarking on another avenue.
May 03, 2024 at 03:46
You'll notice, upon any amount of reflection, you've stated an effect and asked there's a different 'cause'. So, I could leave off here. But.. I'm not...

You've used Vox as a source. Its probably better you have me on Ignore in this case.
May 03, 2024 at 02:32
THis is a really interesting thing to think about. IN some regard, I deny its possible - there is, intuitively, a definite difference between inputs t...
May 03, 2024 at 02:20
In principle, I think I'm getting you - though it's not all that satisfying to me to say that the hard problem presupposes anything. It's just a gap i...

Of course. I've been monitoring this rather weird left-wing authoritarianism for a while now. NZ is so small its almost a joke, and doesn't really mat...

May 02, 2024 at 20:14
Yes. I have factored in everything you've outlined, and it doesn't touch my objection. A extant 'world' cannot also not exist, and still instantiate a...
May 02, 2024 at 20:04
That is what I pointed out you did. You have assumed objectivity by saying that which chess moves are legal moves is objective. Yet, your job was to s...
May 02, 2024 at 20:03
I don't think you've quite groked what I'm using to object** - It says nothing about hte 'reality' that it seems indeterminate. The point being, that ...
May 02, 2024 at 19:54
Not sure what you're going through mate, but I really hope you come out of it better off :) You sometimes say things with substance, and I'd hate to t...
May 02, 2024 at 19:47
Yes it does, quite 'directly'. Indeed. In that section he's discussing A-level and B-level intensions for words which refer (in that context of superv...
May 02, 2024 at 02:41
It sounds to me you're giving a fairly vague account akin to compatibleism. Nothing in your account counters determinism - just illustrates that decis...
May 02, 2024 at 02:40
Empirical works well here too - Chalmers has a great discussion in his explanation of Supervenience in The Conscious Mind.
May 01, 2024 at 22:29
Genuinely - get into poker. Getting 'in the tank' is a common thing and the reason some tournaments take a week to play out. Decisions are long, arduo...
May 01, 2024 at 20:40
Yet, arbitrary (in the sense needed to be accounted for here, i think). You can't index harm to an arbitrary set point to evoke 'objectivity'. That's ...
April 29, 2024 at 20:39
Yes. As it so happens, he's right and you've ignored it the entire thread long. Such is life. You mean the dude whos career rests largely on literal h...
April 29, 2024 at 07:15
Nice
April 29, 2024 at 07:04
I think the inference I'm driving at is that to bite this bullet would be to say something impossible is also possible. That seems logically not possi...
April 28, 2024 at 20:16
This is a standard-sidestep that ignores, once again, the crux of the problem. I have bolded the absolute incoherent of this position. The bolded answ...
April 28, 2024 at 20:13
The absolute epitome of trying to ignore the issue
April 28, 2024 at 19:42
The wildest of ironies. My (quite direct and detailed) argument is that hand waving is all that “your side” has in this conflict. Which is why clearin...
April 28, 2024 at 19:41
This is what I intimate strikes me as giving up. I do not think you're adequately grappling with the problem. AS noted, when the language and grammar ...
April 23, 2024 at 20:03
While I didn't skip over the line before this one, this strikes me as giving up. It's all that matters for every-day consideration, but within this th...
April 23, 2024 at 03:56
It does not. Though, your point is a good one for less-discursive IRists. This seems to betray the idea that we have some 'direct' relationship with t...
April 23, 2024 at 01:59
I thank you, at least, for making this one easy to respond to:
April 22, 2024 at 23:53
It's a farm hand specific stud horse programmes, to my knowledge.
April 22, 2024 at 22:37
Is the Universe not existing a possibility, in this universe? ;)
April 22, 2024 at 22:36
I take this to be irrelevant. AS was the initial comment. Hence, hoping it was Jest given how loaded it was. No one denies the disabled can function, ...
April 22, 2024 at 22:34
I very much hope this is pure jest. It is obvious neither are 'wrong'. They are unhelpful, when used in both ways. That's the entire incoherence of yo...
April 22, 2024 at 21:39
This is a really smart way to make it quite clear that you have no patience for disagreement, and prefer alarmist 'I'm right' type arguments to enforc...
April 22, 2024 at 21:37
This isn't really distinguishable from events lower down the spectrum. Some people can't be in the same room as fish. There's nothing per se that sepa...
April 22, 2024 at 21:35
Is anyone truly positing that the screen infront of me is part of my experience?
April 22, 2024 at 19:50
This went somewhere weird.
April 18, 2024 at 20:42
Can someone explain why the level of political discussion, generally, in America, is akin to Twitter users making up funny names for their teachers?
April 18, 2024 at 20:41
Then nothing is perceived.
April 18, 2024 at 20:34
I believe i understand what you're trying to point out, but this is not shown by what you claim to be showing support for the claim in that comment, t...
April 18, 2024 at 20:34
Its pretty astounding that these two utterances are included in the same person's account. If A is true, B is not possible. We cannot see the world as...
April 18, 2024 at 05:00
I Simply see no problem. They are all inferences. Its hte best description. It may not have an actual answer.
April 18, 2024 at 02:50
Can you think of any other circumstance in which this (imo, quite squarely incoherent) claim could be held? Im not sure that's true - and I was to quo...
April 17, 2024 at 22:54
This is, patently, true. This is the crux, and the thing no one has even attempted to surmount, in their attempt to explain 'direct' realism. It then ...
April 17, 2024 at 20:20
substitute whatever metaphor you’d like :) the idea being merely “below the surface; oft ignored”
April 16, 2024 at 17:51
I certainly do not. But this is not a surprising response, at all. Aligns with my understanding of you entirely :) I like you, though.
April 16, 2024 at 05:55
I don't think you're really understanding much of what anyone is saying to you, most of the time. You certainly haven't understood the vast majority o...
