Yes, but not without using Google! :razz:

A violent criminal is someone who commits crimes that involve the use of force or weapons to injure or kill others. We are talking about insult here.
February 16, 2025 at 20:26
Thanks, mate! :)
February 16, 2025 at 20:14
Violence is a term used when you harm someone. This harm could be physical, such as murdering, or verbal, such as insult.
February 16, 2025 at 19:50
Every violence is prohibited by the laws. Then please Google "insulting", "laws" and your preferred country. This is the result I found for Germany: "...
February 16, 2025 at 19:40
No, it is not only a belief. Insulting is prohibited by laws in all well-developed countries. It is prohibited because it causes emotional distress.
February 16, 2025 at 19:21
Because it offends the feelings of the believers in the Quran. In my opinion, they don't have such a right but they think otherwise!
February 16, 2025 at 19:12
I don't think that violence can resolve any problem, whether it is in the form of burning the Quran or stabbing the guy who burned the Quran since vio...

Ok, no problem, and I hope we can discuss other topics elsewhere. Have a good time mate!

I am afraid that I am so busy with too many things right now. I am not even sure if Hume's works are relevant here. You are more knowledgeable than me...
February 16, 2025 at 16:30
I am not familiar with his work so I don't even know how to start a new thread on the topic. So please, open a new thread and I would be happy to join...
February 16, 2025 at 15:42
I agree. I didn't follow the climate change thread but I agree that sometimes it is need to open another thread to keep the focus on a specific topic.
February 16, 2025 at 14:37
I think if the purpose of this forum is to learn and teach things through the discussion then we have to be open to ideas that are not correct, nonsen...
February 16, 2025 at 13:38
It is off-topic on this thread! It is not off-topic on the other thread!
February 16, 2025 at 12:43
I am not an expert on his work so please feel free to open a new thread and I would be happy to join.
February 16, 2025 at 12:42
So you cannot report your understanding of his work yet claiming that he addressed my questions?
February 16, 2025 at 12:37
The Google dictionary gives another definition as well. Anyway, I am happy to call myself a person or agent. I already defined what I mean by agent an...
February 16, 2025 at 12:25
I am waiting for a quote from his book or your understanding of the book.
February 16, 2025 at 12:22
An agent is also defined as a person or thing that takes an active role or produces a specified effect. Anyhow. You mentioned that you have a physical...
February 16, 2025 at 12:07
No, I didn't. I asked whether you are an agent. By agent I mean you are physical with a set of properties. So, again, are you an agent? Yes or no.
February 16, 2025 at 11:59
Could you please quote a part of his book on this matter or elaborate on your understanding of his book?
February 16, 2025 at 11:57
I didn't say that there is an agent in you. I said whether you are an agent by this I mean you are physical with a set of properties. The existence of...
February 16, 2025 at 11:41
I have three questions for you: 1) How experience can affect the brain knowing that it is not a substance, 2) Do you believe that physical motion is d...
February 16, 2025 at 11:21
It does. If not please explain how experience can cause a change in matter considering that the state of matter is subject to change by the laws of na...
February 16, 2025 at 10:45
What do you mean by the mind here? Property dualism explains the experience's emergence (weak emergence) but cannot explain how the experience can aff...
February 16, 2025 at 10:43
A conscious event that contains information. What do you mean by the mind here?
February 16, 2025 at 09:41
So you are an idealist. So you are not made of physical? How could you have memory? Memory must be stored somewhere. How could you construct any coher...
February 16, 2025 at 09:32
I have no problem being criticized by many. It would be nice of you if we could continue this discussion in another thread since our discussions relat...
February 15, 2025 at 18:17
I know what emergence is and I think we discuss the consequence of accepting that emergence of consciousness from the physical, namely epiphenomenalis...
February 15, 2025 at 18:08
Could you please continue this discussion in another thread? Me, you, etc.
February 15, 2025 at 13:22
Of course, I am not an Idealist so by experiencing I mean that there is an agent who experiences something.
February 15, 2025 at 10:57
But visual and auditory perception are sorts of experiences. Experience is a conscious event that contains information, whether it is perception, reca...
February 15, 2025 at 10:40
Feeling pain is a sort of experience and I am not talking about concept here.
February 15, 2025 at 10:33
I think I was clear with what I said. If you are not in Australia then you cannot experience Australia.
February 15, 2025 at 10:32
If you are not happy with this example then think of moving around while seeing things, watching a movie, etc.
February 15, 2025 at 10:20
It would be nice of you if you discuss this topic in another thread Because you have never been there. Sure not. Yes. Yes, certain experience exists. ...
February 15, 2025 at 10:16
Sure experience exists. You are reading my answer now and have a certain experience. Human experience for example and whatever she/he experiences. Exp...
February 15, 2025 at 09:42
But to you, the mind is simply the arrangement of physical. That certainly is monism. And I didn't talk about the mind and its role in the body but th...
February 15, 2025 at 09:28
It seems to me that you didn't read my post carefully.
February 14, 2025 at 19:41
Yes, the experience is encoded in the brain. I am saying something different though: How the experience can cause a change in the brain knowing that i...
February 14, 2025 at 18:51
But experience is not a substance so how it could affect the brain?
February 14, 2025 at 18:15
Please find my argument here.
February 14, 2025 at 18:14
I agree with that. But you cannot deny its existence and the fact that it affects the physical such as the brain. My question is how experience can af...
February 14, 2025 at 16:58
It means that it is not caused and it is the cause of everything else. It is not contrary at all. I have my own argument for it.
February 14, 2025 at 16:52
Let's say that we disagree and put an end to this discussion. Thanks for your time.
February 14, 2025 at 16:19
No problem. I don't understand what you mean by that and how that could be relevant to the discussion. That is very ambiguous to me. To me, that is a ...
February 14, 2025 at 16:17
I am not ignorant of the topic. I have no time to read a book that denies the reality of free will. Philosophers of mind still struggle with the Hard ...
February 14, 2025 at 16:06
To you, but not to me. I have an argument for it, the OP. By the way, could you please answer my other question as well: What is an experience to you,...
