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. ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
It sounds to me you're giving a fairly vague account akin to compatibleism. Nothing in your account counters determinism - just illustrates that decis...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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, ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
