(well aware you did not ask me.. Just adding a perspective as I'm reading CPR right now for the first time so feel like i need this type of thing to n...

Yes sir ^^ @"Michael" But they are not objectively true. I guess they must be relatively true in light of what does exist - exclusion. Hmm. Thanks for...
December 05, 2023 at 17:45
I may be needing to adjust my view here because there is no object. There is no objective reality to non-existence, brute fact maybe? Unsure. But ther...

Given he also identifies a few “easy” problems of consciousness I think you’re safe here :)
December 05, 2023 at 17:33
While I think probably “yes” I don’t think its a lack of correlation with a state of affairs. It’s a state of affairs which lacks some “thing”. I see ...
December 05, 2023 at 17:09
Speaking only to the earlier portion, as i'm actually not too up the relationship between Libertarianism and other identitarian pursuits:| Huh. My exp...

Why is “your” in parentheses?
December 05, 2023 at 05:24
I doubt this will come as novel but that’s exactly how I read Hume.
December 05, 2023 at 05:24
I’m just trying to get back to a place of good faith, whether we think the other has missed a specific point in a specific thread being irrelevant :) ...
December 05, 2023 at 05:13
Hehe. “We ought to get on well”.
December 05, 2023 at 05:02
Listen mate, I understand that obtuseness comes natural; but I’m here to have fun. Far be it from me ;)
December 05, 2023 at 04:50
As a legal professional, yep. Fully agreed. Regardless of the possibility that it was, in hindsight, right, there’s always a niggling Kantian asking w...
December 05, 2023 at 04:22
If that's what you need to think, far be it from me.
December 05, 2023 at 04:06
Thats a single vice? Nice dude.
December 05, 2023 at 03:01
(am not trained in constitutional law, but law in general). Yes. It has to meet the benchmark for 'fair trial rights' being preserved, though. That ca...
December 05, 2023 at 01:34
That is an impressive control mechanism.
December 05, 2023 at 01:02
That is a curtailment of free speech, as i understand it. Unfortunately, it's actually the legal proceeding protocol that matters, so your conclusion ...
December 05, 2023 at 00:37
the absence of anything but that one mind exists in scenario 1. In scenario two, this extends to "but those two minds". While your example here is inf...

HI Banno... Hmm..This is likely to be my last reply in this exchange and so f'ing help me i will stick to that, unless something fruitful comes of it....
December 04, 2023 at 23:24
That's nice dear.
December 04, 2023 at 20:12
It is EXACTLY 180proof's attitude that resulted in the first T election. I see, clearly, from outside the US, this happening again. Biden has been suc...
December 04, 2023 at 19:55
I can't help but laugh at the lack of self-awareness here. The exact same attitude present in those who went gung-ho and demonized those resistant to ...
December 04, 2023 at 19:43
I dont understand the problem. A plumber can have opinions about other plumbers that don't comport with those plumber's attitudes. A materialist philo...
December 04, 2023 at 19:29
Such a good way of setting this out - and I think what i would reference here is the ethical considerations around vegetarianism. You get quotes from ...
December 04, 2023 at 19:16
:ok:
December 04, 2023 at 19:05
:cheer:
December 04, 2023 at 17:00
that was me for a long time. Sometime in 2021 I got into her then-new album Chemtrails Over The Country Club. Represented something wholly different f...
December 04, 2023 at 09:38
I believe i have seen Chalmers reference (perhaps in that 2022 Yale talk?) IIT as a framework for how you could have different 'levels' of consciousne...
December 04, 2023 at 07:38
Ok, so your statement amounted to claiming that the issue of how consciousness arises is a hard problem is semantic nonsense. Your use of parentheses ...
December 04, 2023 at 07:32
So many gems in this thread. I'll be coming back rather often I think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZegtK54DC4c&pp=ygUKVGhlIEdyYW50cw%3D%3D I'm not...
December 04, 2023 at 07:26
Yes. I had this going with a friend from a Facebook group but it fizzled out... on their end. LOL. I'm very interested in this type of thing
December 04, 2023 at 07:23
World war perhap
December 04, 2023 at 06:38
AH, i f'd up on this one. I did fully misread your direction. You are correct.
December 04, 2023 at 05:55
My legal training is in the British/New Zealand system - but that case doesn’t deal with definitions of imminent lawless action in the context of a pe...
December 04, 2023 at 05:41
That may be legally tricky actually depending on the modes of enforcement your book called for.
December 04, 2023 at 05:10
That, my friend, is corroboration
December 04, 2023 at 04:51
Thank you for this. That is, happily, not what I was saying. I, in fact, whether wrong or right, indicated my understanding was exactly that what you ...
December 04, 2023 at 04:45
I think I’ve found the “cool kids”
December 04, 2023 at 04:20
....whatt????
December 04, 2023 at 03:39
Given that i take both of you to have avoided the problem you face entirely (including in this comment - which is condescending and bizarre in many wa...
December 04, 2023 at 03:06
Hmmm. this comes across entirely a non sequitur in the face of what Bob Ross has outlined. He is, from what i can make out, making an emotionalist arg...
December 04, 2023 at 02:29
It is a statement of belief. If you don't have something of more substance than to just repeat the statement, in the face of this objection, we have n...
December 04, 2023 at 02:24
:ok:
December 04, 2023 at 00:41
If this is for me, I have. Multiple times, and have now decided to refrain from repeating myself. It's an opinion, and nothing more. I reject that it'...
December 04, 2023 at 00:39
@"hypericin" Agree with the above.. Not the whole way through it; but very interesting and I imagine a fairly colourful area to be discussed at -large...
December 03, 2023 at 23:51
Or... so strange, i know... maybe... You're not supporting your point in such a great way? That's my conclusion. So, as i say. I think we're probably ...
December 03, 2023 at 22:05
We;re getting somewhere... :P
December 03, 2023 at 22:04
No, I don't. And i have explicitly covered why not multiple times, so i'm refrain from repeating my very much coherent answer to this charge again. It...
December 03, 2023 at 21:58
No. I did cover this. It is explicitly not entailed by acting on what is thought to be the best option. My own fallibility precludes me from concludin...
