Hmm, a good point prima facie. I'm not sure what a memory is, exactly, so I'm unsure how to couch this, but... It seems it's a representation of somet...

I would think, yes, but I think there's more to it. On this view, that 'copy' only began in 1990. It could be reversed to 1990, but no earlier. The or...

Do you, though? ;)

This is not my experience of the Catholic view. They are Catholics-in-waiting :P But, fair enough, thank you. But hte claim is still sound :)

What's the criteria? Cogito, ergo, sum. LOL

I guess, I just do not see that. It is a poetical outline and as such is open to criticisms in that light. Can you note something you see to be bad-fa...

Absolutely not.

Nice, there we go. I was not aware of what position would actually bite this bullet. Thank you.

Thank you for engaging me consistently. Please be assured that anything that can be remotely interpreted as short, grumpy or incredulous is merely a m...

It exists in the past. Physicalism states that only physical things exist. My the past exists in minds. Therefore, it must actually exist, as an actua...

I'm sorry, but what you're doing is mischaracterizing objections to paint them in a certain light. A particularly dismissive, and condescending light....

:ok:

You're free to elucidate why you think humans are special, and lend some credibility to the OP passages. Doesn't seem to appear anywhere - and i think...

I dont see that this the case. Using both your exposition, and my prior understand of 'change', its a notation of observation and nothing like an expl...

Well, your claim is that it is equally to absurd to posit that the Moon does not exist, as that it does. Im asking whether this precludes you from not...

It would, to a large degree - but invokes a sort of 'matter/anti-matter' dichotomy that seems to be more trouble than its worth :snicker:

Does this mean you abstain from deducing existence of anything? If this is way off, just explain yourself - It will not help to just tell me I don't u...

I like this, and agree there's no real obstacle. But i still want to know what differentiates a-matter from b-matter. Would this also assume we could ...

In principle, agreed - conditioned by the ignorance that requires :P Ignorance is harsh, but i'm referring to the lack of consideration. As soon as th...

He is

The irony burns. Suffice to say, this is also painfully bad commentary. But as i noted you are Catholic in that previous comment, this is also, unsurp...

Fair enough mate haha

I do not think this is the case. I acknowledge the difference in approach between a lay-person (excuse the pun) and a philosopher (or, sufficiently au...

:ok: I should think so. Im unsure what the property is that Christoffer is talking about which makes the difference... I would think easiest... But th...

In principle, they do. They acknowledge God has all-encompassing power. Why would deluding us or merely providing odd empirical data to our minds be o...

I would agree. But I'm unsure parsimony is hte best way to answer questions about what already is.

Or think that thread would trump actual institutional atheist organisations.. @"Leontiskos" Unfortunately, I was referring to your commentary :smirk:

...to...what?

It seems to me he is answering that question, in jest, for Universeness.

99% sure he's referring to Universeness.

Im unsure if this is a claim outside of 'Well, this is what adherents claim' but yes, sure. Why not? God could have invoked a world where if you put 1...

Could you not argue that these things were decided by God in the 'actual' design of the world? I.e he designed/invoked a world in which those things a...

I promise to never reach your level betise-ness.

Im not quite sure i understand this question. Is this suggesting that previous 'versions' of the brain influence the current 'version'? Cause i'm just...

I tend to think this is a veil for trusting your overwrought assumptions in most cases.

HI Christoffer, Don't think we've interacted before, so Hi :) Why would these preclude an identical systematical object producing consciousness? Surel...

Yes, 'on the face of it', i.e I cannot see how that is a given. It makes no sense to me on the face of it. Yes, I agree. But without reason nothing ch...

Consciousness emerging from anything we currently know of, seems magical to me. The idea that a system which mimics hte brain can result in conscious ...

No. It described a necessary aspect, by causal law. It has nothign to do with how those changes occur, or in what medium. I find this unhelpful. This ...

Your attitude betrays a lack of self-awareness. I don't have time for that - So it seems were in agreement, regardless Take care mate :)

It seems that you do not understand much of anything, with this post. And that's Ok.

I don't see any issue with biting this bullet. I already bite the p-zombies one.

In terms of lives lost? Yep. In terms of everything else whatsoever? Absolutely not.

I see. If 'time' is the rate, what is the medium of change? As in, what actually represents the change (given the causal order requirement, such as 'c...

I think i saw zero films from 2023.

Surely, even a single change represents the same as many.. It still has to 'traverse' from state A to state B - which is, as i take it, what constitut...

Rewatching BBC Sherlock - about to hit His Last Vow - potential the best television episode of all time ;)

This version is also utterly incredible.

:smirk:

Fair enough. I guess i'll take you describing Jan 6 as pathological as a win though lol. To note: that's exactly how BLM proponents feel.
