No, totally a fair comment. I should be aware of what those i'm speaking to interpret me to be saying. I should have said Northern Ireland.

"Ireland", typically, includes both the Republic and Northern Ireland in everyday conversation, outside of those two geographical areas, in my experie...

No issue for them either. All the relevant memories were conserved heh. But i see your point

This has been my solution to the Branch-line case. There is no numerical identity, and qualitatively, after any, even infintesimal, span of time after...

I would never move back to the UK, unless it was Ireland. I cannot support this endeavour :sweat:

Is there like Poetry thread anywhere?

Yes, good. I think the important part here is the underlined. To my mind, this requires a workplace to begin discussing the ethics. "the work place" i...

None of this indicates I have any talent :lol: Just tenacity. Hahah, this is genuinely the type of stuff I used to write. But, battle rap is very homo...

Hmm... Not in this discussion, no, as it violates the premise being asked about (though, i do intuit that this is by way of the OP being very imprecis...

No longer able to call Philosophy a hobby - which is good and bad. Outside Phil though: - Brazillian Jiu jitsu; - Drums, voice, guitar, bass, keys.. f...

Is there some reason, other than avoidance, that you're replying to a reply, instead of hte points made in the comment being replied to? I ask because...

I can dispossess you of an erroneous take with this: which means.. You are leapfrogging over the discussion into one which I am not having. Though, I ...

I reject your premise. That is not a catch-all description of all work places. That's my entire point, though. I did point out that once you've got 'a...

Whatever you take it to be. I know mathematicians who react the way I do to Allegri's choral pieces when they see/understand a 'beautiful' proof. I've...

This is exactly my point noted here: Only the wavelengths are defined. My point is this is arbitrary (or "convention") so we're speaking about hte sam...

This seems to entirely miss the point. Perception may well be sensorimotor engagement. Experience is absolutely not, and suggestions that it is seem t...

Ditto. My current work environment meets all of these criteria and more. My previous workplace met none of them. And that is why i left. This comes ba...

I had avoided pointing this out (and I had this example in mind because of its ubiquity). Thanks for doing so. It's a real issue for 'direct'ness of a...

I can't see that you're interacting with my claim.. Which is that 'the work environment' as a concept is literally a tool that appears in infinite for...

I have very much enjoyed the spirited discussions going on here. But, surprising and alarming no one, I take my leave. This has become a roundabout of...

That's a bit Dramatic. At the absolute extreme Nietzsche need be merely nudged to the ground. And generally, 14 year old stoners can do this without t...

You might like Process & Reality NWH posits that consciousness only arises in a prehension of contrast between a nexus of physical fact and negated po...

Nothing can be done for you. Enjoy.

Then i have it completely right and cannot grok how its possible you could be saying something so opposite to the reality of this discussion. I'll lea...

This doesn't seem to be anything more than some rambling (not in a negative sense) about the topic. I don't think you've said anything that addreses w...

This is an extremely unserious objection. "Nothing" excludes boredom or stasis. Clearly. So, not sure how you think I would respond, but im laughing.

I'm unsure how to approach this without just saying 'Well, it appears rto me you are clearly wrong and you're not paying much attention to my posts. I...

As noted, that doesn't appear to be the case. And, either way, that's not actually operative here. A space for a decision need exist only prior to exp...

Very true. But, this reconsideration is the aim I take and it tends ot be successful.

From your post, I couldn't know what you actually want a response to. What work place? What environment? What factors are relevant to your assertion? ...

No need to overthink it mate - nothing is factually less of a burden than something. How you feel about that could be considered depraved. But I didn'...

This isn’t in any way odd. Compared to not existing, it’s inarguably a burden to be, do or know anything

:ok: To everyone- I’m replying on my phone after a lecture and am not being massively seriously. But I welcome serious responses as I do believe my co...

Yes. And it’s not possible, so case closed. Heheheheheh

*brings eye brows back from nape” I don’t know what you could possibly be aiming at. The use of language here is imprecise and unhelpful. So I’ve chan...

but you don’t. Empirically. I’ll leave you to it ;)

In this case you’ll need to let me know whether I should reply. We are clearly discussing biological determinism and not ethics

Listen to them be wrong, and explain why they are, on something very important like an ethical position or their understanding of reliability of the s...

Absolutely not, per the majority of what i've put forward in this thread, completely ignored. It is precedent TO the 'decision-making'. This has been ...

I certainly agree on your grounding. I just note that the usage of seeing that way plays right into Banno's hide-the-ball

Definitely. That much seems clear on either account, if one is to be honest with themselves. I think using the term 'seeing' that way (that you descri...

Through a glove hehe. That said, again, there are two bodily physical events there, which isn't the case with sight, in the same way. The physical int...

That is very much an over-estimation. A good proportion of the general population cannot understand that when it rains, they get wet.

You could be right. I think it may be harder to describe, simply because we've had far less experience trying to nut out those problems with other sen...

I actually take quite a number of statements throughout the thread, on the indirect side, to be attempting this claim. Banno nailed me on it some time...

Seems similar to the use of 'vulgar' in 18/19C philosophy.

This doesn't follow at all. The fact that I cannot see an object directly doesn't mean I can't interact with it. The idea that a blind person is someh...

There are a lot of Consolations of Philosophy lol. Currently reading parts of Parfit's Reasons & Persons for school.

:rofl:

Unfortunately, yes. Almost all heavy left-leaners like A.C Grayling, Justin Weinberg, Carrie Jenkins, Helena Cruz etc... largely, the 'culture war' re...
