I did not make those claims. Are you thinking you're responding to a different poster?

:) Not trying to be 'cute'. But this is just a restating of the same misguided response from earlier. But I don't own the claim you're trying to make ...

I ran a charity that funded psychedelic research for some years - and technically I still run the Psychedelics New Zealand Facebook community :) It wa...

Yeah, it might, but i've explained pretty clearly why its not even a claim. I don't have access to those organs. I have access to their work product. ...

Cannot grasp what conversation you think we're having - But that makes no sense to me lol

Seems a pretty good solution. Don't push the fat man. Jump.

This is a fun thread.

I can't understand my experience under other circumstances. I don't know that it's open to me to do so, so 'Descartes Demon' and all that. So, the inf...

Then I certainly either misunderstood or misconstrued the line. Apologies for dragging you through that, then lol.

Of course I agree here. Evidence for X can obviously be compatible with not-X unless its totally conclusive. This goes to hte heart of why 'indirect' ...

Yeah, that's how I understood the 'higher' degrees. Is quite bizarre to me.

It's part and parcel of why I expect there to be 'actual' external objects. I don't understand that we could have experience without sense data. It is...

Sincere good luck @"Bob Ross"

I am sure you feel that that is the case... :halo: And, I don't agree with is conclusions, best I could tell. I feel he got my point that information ...

I understood this was the case for higher degrees like LLB or MD or some such (i.e med or law school are secondary components to the overall 'course o...

To me, its not this. Maybe that's the issue. It indicates we're not going to get a 1:1. It counts against the physicalist expectation. But that's more...

(not meant in any way to come across rude). In Court there's a concept that you can present 'propensity evidence'. Well, in the Court context, it mean...

Weird. No BAs in Phil where I live require any sociology. It would probably be interesting to put together three years without a soc. course, but its ...

"even if". I don't quite accept that it is. But to me 'evidence' isn't incidental or inferential unless i'm in court.

That's right. I don't think it can be taken as such, anyway, even if, on technical lines, it 'is'. If there's 100 positions. We find a piece of 'evide...

:lol: Appreciate the humour here! I think its a pretty near-and-dear type of take. I don't think its accurate, basically.

I think we would, if Physicalism were any more likely than other positions that aren't Absolute Idealism. If a 1:1 match can't be found, that, to me, ...

This sounds right. And there's nothing wrong with this, and the heavy effect of Placebo on spirituality-derived healing. How would this be a good idea...

I guess it opens up avenues of discussion and research that aren't open to the anti-deist. That's all it does, really, and for a non-Deist like yourse...

Not In light of other positions, no. As i say, the quote would only serve to preclude certain other positions. The idea that mind states are 'closely ...

@"Janus"Just going to step in here noting that I have professionally trip-sat in the past and observed clinical psychedelic trials. Get. A. Sober. Sit...

Totally understandable. So, this began my little line here. If there was some previous that was relevant, I'm, unsure what that was. I came in and not...

Yep, Audio Visual Link. I've been slack, too, so this isnt' set up but I promise I will get to it and drop the deets in here shortly. I have not forgo...

My understanding - which may be incomplete or not well-aligned with actual Deists claims - is that Deism is basically just Theism, but an impersonal G...

Yeah, I actually literally woke up in the middle of the night and answered this better than I did before... What I was trying to illustrate was that e...

I think this can be adequately explained by what my wife and I have termed the 60/40 rule. 60% of people don't think either: 1. The way you do; or 2. ...

:ok: Lets hope

One word answer: Was this is at least partial jest?

Then, you'll want to have just asked, rather than make cryptic, slightly underhanded comments about my utterances (as such). If that's not how you'd c...

While I don't actually grasp any contradiction in what you've just said (likely because i don't understand it) it is plain to me there is absolutely n...

Sense data. On my account, we do not have anything but. So, I can't really understand how, for an example, a shadow is access to it's object - or that...

That's probably true, but I would think it inaccurate to claim that as evidence for Physicalism. Its just information that doesn't negate it - whereas...

I would agree, and I ..think.. this is probably hte issue I was esoterically wanting to highlight. They know its a 'butterfly'. But what does that mea...

None of these are citations my friend. These are excerpts from spiritual texts. That may explain the lack of efficacy and acceptance. I have no issue ...

That's basically what I was getting at. The knowledge of what a President is just plum isn't required to have a justified belief one will become one. ...

Because,

That, to me, does not constitute access to them - but, it sounds like we agree, just not on terminology.

Hey :) Thanks for coming back! The Tetragrammaton. YHWH. Definitely discussions/disagreements around that particular thing - but it doesn't touch what...

FTR, I've only read to the bottom of this page (29) and no further in the ensuing exchange. I think I'm running with MU's line - I understand that wha...

While I see where you're going, you cannot read across from Criminal law (which is messier than you make it sound - and as a direct analogy, Palestine...

no it’s not. Every actor is responsible for their own acts.

This may apply to you, abs explain your attitude. I don’t get that feeling from many forum meme bets and certainly don’t feel that myself. Errors are ...

given your response here I’m not interested in discussing further. Take care and see you around the forum :)

No it isn’t. If you don’t see the difference I cannot help, nor would I try to. No. You absolutely did not. You have done absolutely nothing except as...

I don't think its a reasonable argument to blame anyone but the actor for their actions, whether it's a state or not. And that goes for both sides (in...
