Oh, I would say your argument was fairly clear, but it was weak. There are many many, many ways for you to be deluded, or wrong. More than there are w...

This doesn't seem to touch my question. I have often had this experience and never once even considered that it could be 'God'. Defocalisation/dereali...

This is certainly true, as I've recently found out in going through one commenter's religious feelings here. Their need for certainty has them forego ...

Deleted but might be updated.

This isn't relevant at all to whether your current position on Free Will is (in this case, ignorance, but at base...) an illusion. We hold that it is ...

"Will To Power", some of "Genealogy of Morals" and (Ijke, when i was 12) "Thus Spoke..."

I can't quite grasp where the relevance is, or answer is, to my comment. Probably me. Sorry. Yes, I think you can. I suppose this goes to whether or n...

This one certainly does. We can be approximate, even to a fine-grained statistical certainty, though. Hehehe.

Neither did I trust, nor use ChatGPT. lol. I didn't come to 'believe' anything. No one thinks this. Half the people here(including me, even in this ex...

I'm unsure I agree with your framing of the two types of development, but I get your point. Thank you for clarifying!

I have noted that in practical terms, this is a fine way to go about your life. But in fine-grained discussions It just doesn't survive as far as I'm ...

Why would it matter "what God had to say" if you aren't even sure it was God? Seems backward... Yep, but they are almost certainly wrong. This is Akin...

That's just you saying this. It doesn't entail that you've looked for, or understand what we're putting infront of you. If every event has a prior cau...

Hey mate, thank you for your thorough reply. Some of my utterances below will seem combative. THey are not - we just disagree in ways that look combat...

you were under a very successful illusion. But your choices are not made consciously on this view and your experience of choice is like a mini experie...

This is close to nonsensical. The content of the visual experience is entirely separate from the rain itself. That much is clear. How one gets to the ...

You wouldn’t. They aren’t explaining the same things unless you take the evolution-only view of exprience (which is then post-hoc and hallucinatory). ...

Heh what a thread. I give it a B, in light of its timing. It would be pithy old news these days.

This is equivocal, though. Is it hte case that you don't know anything, or that you don\t know some things? Oh, no you don't. Hehe. It's not really a ...

I can confidently say I would report it, but not on moral grounds (assuming, as I think is warranted, that your/our use of obligation here is a moral ...

Huh? Why? Inverted qualia arguments are specifically about different S experiencing different things. The degree of difference is what seems to defeat...

= fails. It is. They are obviously, patently, inadequate. They neither capture the nuance of reality, or justify their relation. It is a nonsense.

I didn't believe it then, or now. I have been quite clear I'm not across formal logic enough to make those types of claims. | The only one I've been a...

I do. You can prove just about ANYTHING like that. "Imagine we live in a world where <x is true>. This proves we live in a world where <x is true>. At...

Yes, and that much is clear - Largely why I didn't say anything until this last couple of pages: You lot had it well-covered. But that's not what I wa...

You've just said it proves that people with the same physical states can experience different things. Which is, indeed, the point being got-across in ...

"This statement is logically incorrect because when one component of a biconditional statement is denied, it does not necessarily allow us to conclude...

Fair enough. Well, the way i'm reading it we have two distinct things 'in action': 1) 2) I understand that you read them as the same thing, and I can ...

I think this is true for most of the shallower readers (the teenagers I've discussed at times, for instance) so they're just as easily able to discard...

And each incidence of deliberation is determined by the previous. Which is determined by its reasons. Which are determined by previous states of affai...

Then i think you missed the bolded word.

You're essentially asserting a no true scotsman here(which i note you do acknowledge at the end of this passage by suggestion). The only way I could a...

This is clearly wrong. I'll leave it there.

Any bumper sticker you can provide for why? It seems odd to me. Like saying hydrologists need provide the engineering know-how for hydro-dams.

I don't really understand the question. The entire point is that we cannot demonstrate the physical-ness(sorry, there's not a better word I know) of c...

It strikes me as bizarre that you're not aware not responding is better for both of us at this point. Parfit would be disappointed :snicker: Ah well. ...

This is a incredibly lucid take on Nietzsche to my mind. Nice.

You'd be a lot cooler if you weren't too cool. Ah well. Horse to water and all..

;) I agree with what you're saying, but maintain this indicates you have retained the beliefs required to ride a bike.

For everything preceding this: Yeah, good. Thank you. There are parts there I would have trouble answering without a sufficiently formal attempt, whic...

I could just say "non-physical properties" and that's a complete answer but I think that avoids the issue. Qualia are experienced as non-physical.

this is true, yet doesn’t change my point. Our hardware obviously all differs - but in ways which do not appear relevant to this case. In other cases,...

unreasonable effectiveness.

You wanting to is determined. This ignores the objection. No, you couldn't have. It was not open to you to decide anything but what the preceding hist...

Are you sure? The IRist doesn't seem to be obligated to account for this at all. Merely take it that they are approximations. These can be as-good-as-...

Yeah, that was badly worded - i'm at work. I mean to say that, Parfit and others claim that any plausible Moral theory, must have, contained in it, an...

I'm not sure which two you're referring to, or what disconnect is being pointed out. Are about the same quote. In any case, I don't defend or criticis...

For future events? Depends. In a practical sense, sure it's warranted in that not assuming (to the degree needed) would prevent action. But I do not t...

I wouldn't know. I'm leaving formal logic for institutional learning rather than as a hobbyist. For thoroughness though, The full response was: "The b...
