I was not wrong at all. By knowledge there, I meant to know what is the correct time. Why don't you answer my thought experiment? Could you perform th...

No, I am arguing that physicalism is false because it cannot explain awareness/experience and that is not the only problem that physicalism suffers fr...

What I referring to here is knowledge in general but knowledge of time. Suppose I lock you in a room and ask you to perform a task at one o'clock in t...

I am asking that if you cannot perform that task which requires the awareness of the passage of time then how the physical can do that?

No problem, mate.

Because we have physical and experience of physical. These two are not identical. Physical exists whether you experience it or not. We have certain ex...

I am sure you are familiar with the concept of anesthesia. How physical which is intrinsically conscious could possibly become unconscious? Which one ...

That is alright.

Of course, the knowledge of time is necessary. Could you perform a task that is due to a specific time without knowing the specific time or even worse...

I am saying that the physical cannot experience the change in time. Physical in physicalism cannot have any experience at all including the change in ...

All you need is to be open to new ideas and try to contemplate them. I would be happy to discuss with you further and elaborate on things if you are w...

It is necessary since a change indicates a going from one state at one point in time to another state later. So the knowledge of the proper time that ...

I mean the stuff like objects, a cup, a chair, etc. for example. The stuff that is subject to change and discussion. Yes, two states of physical are i...

Do you have any objection to my argument? I would be happy to hear them.

My argument clearly shows that physicalism is false therefore one has to endorse substance dualism which explains reality well. By the way, this argum...

I don't think that the conscious mind has such a causal power. I experience hallucinations all the time. I see things and hear things that other peopl...

What is sensory input to you? You are talking about consciousness here. How consciousness is possible if we accept that only the physical exists and t...

I am following your posts and reading them carefully. I think we can agree that experience is a phenomenon that cannot be explained within physicalism...

I am aware of that. However, I have a problem with it because, to me, physical processes, whether they occur in your brain or a stone, are governed by...

The conscious mind just experiences a simulation created by the subconscious mind. It takes the experience granted to be real in the dream since it ca...

So, do you agree that change is real? If change is real then what is the subject to change? Correct. We however experience change. It is through the e...

:up:

That is a version of parallelism. The problem is how physical and mental correlate with each other to such a fantastic precision. Some believe that Go...

Could you please define the mind? When we are talking about the mind we are also talking about consciousness. If we accept that the neural process is ...

Ok, mistake on my part. I didn't mean to insult you at all. I am very sorry if my words hurt your feelings but I didn't intend to do so. When I ask yo...

Within physicalism, the mind is equated to the brain or the brain process. What is the definition of mind to you and how could be caused by the brain?...

The subconscious mind creates what the conscious mind perceives whether what is perceived by the conscious mind is a dream or a simulation of reality.

How could deny change as a mere concept? It exists in the natural world. Are you an idealist? Time does not cause a change. It allows the change. No, ...

Are you suggesting that time is discrete? If yes, then there is a gap between two points in time. Accepting that physicalism is a correct view then ph...

I didn't ask for your definition of awareness which as usual is unrelated and unnecessary. You need to pay attention to my argument and definition of ...

Correct. Time is made of moments but time is continuous.

I explained the change.

There cannot be any change in the case of a simultaneous process. Change exists. Therefore, the states of physical are not simultaneous.

There is no such thing!

Mathematics and physics can explain what a continuous change is.

There is no moment that glass is broken and unbroken. The change is continuous.

Well, you said that experience is a physical process. That is all I need. Do you think that this physical process or experience in the case of the roc...

Cool.

Do you think that a rock experiences as well? There is a physical process within a rock as well. If not, what makes a brain different from a rock? You...

I am done with you.

Such a waste of time. I am done with you and I am not going to discuss this topic with you anymore.

I do. By changing the words in the argument you cannot show anything until you define the words that are used in the argument. Are you interested in a...

You can change the argument the way you like. But you are skipping my questions. That is not fruitful. So again what do you mean by mental and experie...

I noticed that. I however asked you what you mean by mental and experience. You need to define them.

What do you mean by mental and experience?

Those are not my premises. Could you please answer my question here?

Let's discuss P1 in the first section. Are you denying that physical exists and you don't have any experience?

Which premises?
