:ok: Interesting to see this taken up, without ridicule here. Particularly by yourself. Nice

Seems to me you may be losing grip on reality. and dragging @"Lionino" with you. I implore both of you to save time, blood pressure and reputation by ...

I agree, Astrophel is being a bit obtuse in general, and I think they're going to have a field day with the above, because it satisfies their criteria...

Which facts could you compare perceptions to? Other perceptions?
March 11, 2024 at 20:48
Everyone else experiences your death, so on this account yes. But it was a throwaway descriptive take on something that is clearly mind-dependent. Dea...

From experience: Moments where I have, apparently, seen or experienced something extravagant, anti-physics, telepathic etc.. it is very hard to drop t...
March 11, 2024 at 19:37
No, it doesn't. The experience exists, of a non-existent ghost. That is, if you accept that abstract objects don't obtain. If you do, sure, I'll take ...
March 11, 2024 at 19:35
I don't think decisions about what articles to publish have anything to do with day-to-day practical sense and navigation. It seems specifically outsi...

Sunk-cost fallacy. Coming to terms with your entire milieu being wrong is painful, and avoiding it seems standard. This applies equally to thinking Ho...

Which science? A lot of narrative sciences are completely incapable (probably, funding reasons) to entertain hypotheses not prima facie overwhelmingly...
March 11, 2024 at 19:22
Similar stuff going on when I visited the East Coast of the USA. A friend of mine, also from there but hasn't been in a long time said the same as I -...
March 11, 2024 at 19:16
Well, that explains you, I guess.
March 11, 2024 at 02:56
For clarity: there is no difference here, except that you're ascribing one version of it as a defined philosophical position, and the other as a descr...
March 10, 2024 at 19:33
Then my original comment stands. Absolutely nothing to think there's anything reasonable about that claim. "common sense" has nothing to do with publi...
March 10, 2024 at 19:30
Nice, thank you. Unfortunately, nothing here (or behind it in the comment) responds to my position. I understand your position. I'm wanting to explana...
March 10, 2024 at 19:28
Totally fair enoguh - I may have missed that that was the case, and if so, apologies. I could've done much better to have a constructive exchange. TE=...
March 10, 2024 at 19:18
I think that’s likely true as regards their stance on the potential legal ramifications - but it seems less relevant to the claim Vera made which was ...

I think Vaskane is in a trough at the moment. Regularly devolving into a pissing match with himself. Last time he did this he apologised directly to m...
March 10, 2024 at 00:05
This is not the case in the TE. The branch line case results in the original and one duplicate; not two duplicates. Perhaps that’s the issue? If it we...
March 08, 2024 at 06:02
Nice, good, thank you for the thorough response. This is not a meaningful thing, unless you're restricting the discussion to the exact moment of dupli...
March 08, 2024 at 01:29
This is an exact ignoratio elenchus. You have literally made my argument, despite pretending to be an objector to it. "I'll leave you to it".
March 08, 2024 at 01:00
Just to give you a little more bang for buck, no one seems to think that the chemicals that 'cause a lemon to smell like a lemon" aren't the lemon(the...
March 08, 2024 at 00:58
Oh good lord; i've never heard of another citing the 'good' Talk Talk albums. I prefer Colour of Spring, myself, but the three - Colour, Spirit and La...
March 07, 2024 at 19:04
Totally fair enough my friend. Sleep well :) (also, I've set up the Zoom meeting. Check the thread :) )
March 07, 2024 at 01:11
They don't. This is what my objection boils down to. No one knows anything about 'hate speech'. They know what makes them uncomfortable. It's a vaccuo...
March 07, 2024 at 01:08
hehe, that's fair. But I disagree with that sometimes is enough to go on, because it doesn't present me with anything to discuss. Which is the problem...
March 07, 2024 at 01:06
Will get back to you once i've finished On Liberty.
March 07, 2024 at 01:00
The phrasing of this betrays the point you want to make, and supports mine. These are various and you need a bit of detail to discuss them with any ap...
March 07, 2024 at 00:53
These relate to whether you're a legal positivist or not. Yes? Then the cert. does it's job and there is no problem. No? You need to figure out your o...
March 07, 2024 at 00:43
What are the 'general conditions' of 'the work environment'? If you can lay some out, I'd be happy to step back on this. I just can't think of any 'ge...
March 07, 2024 at 00:36
Oh, sure. But it isn't currently. I don't think the concept is coherent enough. I think you'd have to specific the things you've specified (which i ag...
March 07, 2024 at 00:34
I think this is where it gets messy. "hate speech" is not a very good descriptor of anything, despite its legal use.. which is equally as muddy and co...
March 06, 2024 at 21:51
Well, that explains you.

I may not be catching you right; but if I am, each to their own I suppose :)

ooof that distorted bass (is it sub synth?) goes hard on Our Bones. Really enjoy the cut rhythm too! Thank you dude :) If you’re of the type, I recomm...
March 06, 2024 at 06:10
I would agree, but wouldn't this intimate that there are two separate acts taking place, that don't necessarily require each other for pertinence? For...
March 06, 2024 at 01:47
Some of the critical, if you'll excuse the pun, figures in the CRT development (Kimberlé Crenshaw, bell hooks, and Cornel West) cite Derrida as influe...
March 06, 2024 at 01:43
LOL. I have to agree, in the Political arena anyway. It's all a bit of a joke from outside.
March 06, 2024 at 01:39
I can't understand how this would be the case. Unless you take "the science of morality" to just be sociology focused on social norms? I would also po...
March 06, 2024 at 01:26
Yeah, Agreed. I wonder if this will lessen as I move through my degree.. Hmm.
March 06, 2024 at 01:24
Don't want to import my interpretation to you words - Are you insinuating Radiohead are not artists? :smirk:
March 06, 2024 at 01:23
Turns out i am the typical overproductive 30-something. I WILL organise this. I'll do it by setting a meeting today NZ time, and you guys can argue ov...

Hahahah; not intimating, but not entirely sure he's not. I disagree, but I'm not going to get back into *the discussion. Because I ducked out :P *leav...
March 06, 2024 at 01:15
This often happens. But equally, in the style of Radiohead, intense scrutiny and slow, slogging technical adjustment results in similar feelings of ac...
March 06, 2024 at 01:11
Fwiw, I have seen this argument many, many times among psychedelic people. I think the implication is that if you can take a thought and ferry it thro...

To explain what I think is being said, I've noted previously that "blue" is defined by 'its' wavelength. Not it's experience. However, people can expe...
