I hear your point (i think) and that's reasonable... But what i quoted seems to contradict, and place this effort in the 'not-human' category. Unsure ...

Ok, so I need to read Kastrup. I did not know about the analogy with pipes/water but I already felt the way the intended intuition about pipes/water a...

If you 'listen between the lines', he makes this point himself. Even with reference to Ras.

To inject myself here, I'd say Kant IS alive in 1776.

Hey mate - would you mind bumper-stickering your basic reasoning here? I am an anti-natalist and so am interested in objections - particularly as you'...

Really? I find that hard to parse from the material you've quoted. What? A further, what? Getting into 'wtf' territory... This sounds like the need yo...

I'm not suggesting there is. I don't think there's any need to overcome anxiety about life and death. It's also part of human behaviour. Of course, so...

Unhinged is a bit far, but as someone who has a closet full of three-pieces and pride myself on my style, he's a total clown in this regard. Looks utt...

Huh. This seems to apply to a 'large middle' of humans while assuming positivism. Both seem aspects seem a bit shaky to me. I don't think its reasonab...

Agreed - if not clear, JPB made the comments that get my back up.

Great image!

:ok:

Any other NZers on here?

Im not seeing a connection between (6.) and (7.). We can only conclude that it is from (6.). However, the above is very helpful in terms of supporting...

:ok: Noted

You mean the comments about psychedelics? Yeah, it was really weird to see. It's even weirder that his nemesis (Harris) is actually well-versed and re...

I don't see how we can do that..

This is true, and a serious problem for discussions of time as currently being explored. But this doesn't mean 'time doesn't exist'. It means are symb...

(yes, there's some incredulity in this question) Are you seriously comparing 'ethical views' to the reality of categories of triangle? (response to fi...

Interesting question. In my experience, 'good looking' people are less nice.. to me. But that's almost certainly a bias about my desires. I would say ...

He makes some extremely unfounded comments about psychedelic experiences. This was where i started to lose it with his sophistry because it's unhelpfu...

Yes. I am 'atheist' in relation to the rock. I do not commit one way or the other. Yet.... Prima facie, No. No i shouldn't. And prima facie, these abo...

I think this is what maters. We are what McKenna called 'the moving wave-front of eternity'. We're at the front of the line, and as such, we are somew...

What is your belief? No guff, or argumentation to come - Just ascertaining everyone's positions as it's often hard to grok from the exchanges i observ...

Thanks mate. Ryle is about half-way down my hit list currently - Just jumped a few spots.

Very active, and will continue to be. But yes, very new I've recently found out :P I am also, for 'context of me' starting my Philosophy BA as a conjo...

Right, right. Ok, cool thank you!

A-theism means A-theism.

What's the sitch when the information is in transit?

Opiates too. And Benzos

As a pre-amble, i'm glad to see this. I see no obstacle in Gettier problems due to the justification criterion. I find the italicised pretty odd. What...

You can do both. Whenever I encounter someone who is (to my mind) misusing these words, i ascertain their position and then ascribe what appears to me...

There's my weeks delve. Anyone else you'd append for someone to explore?

Oh, interesting. As a new addition i had no idea there were prior iterations. Neat! What a great little community.

I believe these were intended as two separate attributes. It is long. And it provides no insight. Could be wrong, but that seems the case to me.

Yes, I would say its fairly safe that when people are clearly affectatious in their presentation can be judged on it :P

is this a 'constant conjunction' thing? My experience has been the inverse..

Ahh ok, lol all good. Thank you

Sorry, as this is entirely off-topic, but what... Do you know each other IRL, or have been following each other across the internet since the Nineties...

I am having trouble with the plum disregard for what these words actually mean. Obviously, you're not hte culprit. But a-theism has a meaning. A-gnost...

I agree. Words are not morals. I guess the issue here, though, is that substantial scholarly work indicates that the use of words (particularly protra...

righteous :wink:

Ah you seem to just be here for a conflict now. This is inaccurate. Your arguments are based on inaccuracies. I pointed these out and you did not addr...

No. No it wasn’t. These are th positions. And the actual atheists of the world know this. You can’t te them what their view is. And the citation has b...

No. I adequately showed you position to be entirely incorrect viz a viz the definition and use of the two terms and if you looked at the etymologies t...

Err nope. Arguing against the likelihood of something does not require knowledge that it “isn’t”. Your misinterpretations are starting to seem trollis...

oh my. This is unfortunate. You are wrong in your definitions and I see no reason to entertain arguments based on them :) take care mate

No it isnt. You’re wrong and I’m trying to explain it as simply as possible - but you’re literally ignoring the fact that your definitions are wrong. ...

:ok:

What? No it isn’t. That’s entirely non sequitur. It’s a lack of knowledge of the existence of God/s. It is neutral. It is not a decision. It is in fac...
