Absolutely. Certain moves almost seem like a wind-up LOL. But there we go - such is discussion of belief and knowledge :) Enjoying it, despite hte hea...

I don't see how this is not the same thing, without expressing the same. Anyone who claims absolutely that unicorns are not possible, is kidding thems...

Sympathetic vibration tells me this isn't the whole story. Instruments have been designed in a way (John McLaughlin's 13-string guitar when playing wi...

Can you figure how these are different? IN the absence of evidence, not believing amounts to the jury still being out. But perhaps out of hte building...

I have not seen you disagree with this, really. You've helped me see where I was misusing words and concepts because I don't understand what I'm doing...

You're not even wrong. And that's kind of the problem (though, I would have to remove all the hyperbolic WWII comparisons for this to be acceptable lo...

Yeah, i'm understanding i've gotten the TE wrong - but i also can't work out why it's the way it is. It makes little sense because it's importing all ...

It simply isn't that simple, imo Particularly the prolonged nature of dealing with these things. I find it extremely hard to pretend to know what's re...

Yup - the entire situation is novel. Exactly as i said.

Do you have the actual speech, or just interpolation ;)

None of them were previously President either though - the entire situation is novel.

Absolutely - no ill will whatsoever. I really appreciate the exchanges, and that recognition of same :) Thank you.

The problem, I think aptly identified by Sam Harris, is the ideology, not the people. There are varying degrees of commitment, but the further from a ...

Its going to be extremely entertaining.

Fair enough; I guess i've misunderstood the TE. Whoops lol. I don't really see those elements as relevant (at least certainly not necessary) to the Ha...

No, they wouldn't, but I don't understand how its possible it could be contended that they're 'supposed' to . So, I have no idea where to go with this...

I simply don't know. Nor could I. Preposterous. We already know exactly what the one option gets us - we are essentially blind to the other, and I won...

I wont play 'gotcha' games. Particularly not with someone who accused me of the same. I just said: I would prefer the Allies won - I didn't try to cha...

Hmm. Yes, but I don't think that's his fault per se. It's the fault of everyone being so intensely divided and willing to lose huge parts of their hum...

I bite the bullet. Yes. I am unable to prefer that world. I also bite that bullet. I am unable to prefer that world. However, I'm an anti-natalist so ...

Understood, and I'm happy to answer the TE after a disclaimer: We have an actual result here. Any other result (other the course of events leading to ...

I'm not able to read that into the passage quoted - but then, I wrote it with my intention so that makes sense :nerd: Ah okay, fair enough. It's also ...

.......what? I said reading this thread will be entertaining. Perhaps you meant to reply to someone who mentioned any of that?

I have to say, it will be very entertaining checking in on this thread if and when Trump wins.

That is not how I've ever understood any version of the TE. p-zombies are physically the same, yet unconscious. No idea why we are assuming they're be...

Just as stupid as the previous question. We are actually in the situation where the Allies won, and I exist in it. I am unable to prefer else. It actu...

No, not at all. The empirical object is not the thing-in-itself. Not sure where that came from. The 'empirical' world is the world of phenomenal sense...

This analogy doesn't map on to the categories of Good and Bad at all. There isn't, though. You've just decided on a criterion randomly, basically. Tha...

As would I. I was disappointed to find out it exists merely as an image and not an actual figurine :(

No one, in any of these comments, has suggested this. What are you thinking about when you do this? Seems entirely incoherent to me.

Why are we assuming language? That seems a conscious ability, whereas we're talking about physically identical, yet non-conscious entities.

As I say, I cannot remember how he parses the different states. An off-the-cuff note, would be that when 'blacked out' memories are not created, and y...

I'm not able to prefer anything other than the current situation, as it is the one in which I exist. Therefore, I prefer the Allies won because it res...

I am reading the Muller translation of the A version (which was a rookie's mistake) and that's the page it's on... My mistake. You've got the right se...

I don't think this is a case, and to my mind, on a re-reading i did delineate out what i'm talking about. In the most simple terms: Sensory perception...

ugh sorry mate. Appears sorted

he has a view that any true discontinuity in consciousness per se is enough to end an identity. The reestablishment of consciousness is of a different...

yeah that’s a bit of a problem. I wasn’t under the impression that would need accounting for though. I can see the evolution side occurring in roughly...

:lol: I like your faith in humanity, Luke. Surely, this is now talking about a "possible future" that you've gone in to - it may not be the actual fut...

This doesn't appear to me as an argument against anything but aesthetic implication (it would be weird, no?). It doesn't seem to address the fact that...

I think this is a far more realistic position to consider. And, while I personally think its super-unlikely, it's way more possible that Fascism comin...

My wife and I recently came to this conclusion reluctantly. Most people are either not capable, or lack any inherent interest, in 'thinking further'. ...

Yep. As i understand it, the date has been 'brought back' as it were due to people feeling teh way Javi does and harming themselves. Pork and milk are...

Again, you're not groking even the arena in which I made my comment. There is an observable fact that we, by and large, disagree on what that threshol...

I think the point, and I completely missed this with Mww, is that what you are capable or conceiving, is a result of your perceptions in aggregate. Th...

Oh, so you're talking about crimes. Okay. Different discussion. Oh, you're talking about physical assault. Nice. You missed my point, or I missed your...

Indeed i took a spot of advice and listened to five hours of Kastrup late last week. Id say my attitude is the same.

I mean, that's one thing which would come under that banner, imo. Unsure what you're intimating though, so will refrain from comment beyond that.
