That is an excellent question! I think like and dislike for example are extrinsic features of our experience. Let me give you an example: A man could ...
That is an excellent question that made me think for a while! In the end, I concluded that it is what it is. When things come together in a specific c...
I think beauty and ugliness are universal features of the experience, whether humans' experience, aliens', or animals'. Something beautiful is beautif...
Yes, and no. Although beauty and ugliness are features of objects, things like ideas, arts (music for example that is not an object), etc. could also ...
I have three categories of ontology: Past (does not exist), present near future (exists), and future (future excluding near future which does not exis...
The cause: Ball1 hits Ball 2 and at the same time Ball 2 hits Ball 1. The effect: Ball 1's speed is reduced and Ball 2's speed is increased as a resul...
Causation, Relation that holds between two temporally simultaneous or successive events when the first event (the cause) brings about the other (the e...
No, I am not talking about presentism or A-series of time since to me both now and immediate future exist whereas in presentism or A-series of time on...
So you agree that the conclusion follows from OP? I am familiar with the hard problem of consciousness. What is consciousness to you? Probably I wrote...
I would use uncertain if the system is not conscious otherwise I use doubt. I agree that a deterministic system could reach a state of uncertainty or ...
First thing first, I am talking about humans and their capacity to freely decide. It then follows that we have minds. Secondly, your example of a comp...
I didn't say that you are my enemy. I would be happy to accept the error in my reasoning if you can show it. All I said was that my argument is not wh...
No, my argument does not work like that, there is experience therefore there is a mind. So according to you assigning a variable to be X which is arbi...
Trying different ideas means that you have something in your mind about how the simulation should work. Also, what do you mean by "it starts thinking"...
Pardon me! That does not open a can of worms but clears up the discussion. If you are interested in discussing mind and consciousness you at least nee...
Yes. The existence of experience does not mean that there is a mind. The existence of doubt together with the ability that you can decide in a doubtfu...
No, again undefined variable in your code does not represent a doubtful situation. I precisely defined doubt in OP and also gave an example of a situa...
I already explained. A deterministic system goes from one state to a unique state later so at each point in time there is only one state available to ...
It is great progress that we agree that you can have doubt. Doubts are not allowed in a deterministic system. That is true since a deterministic syste...
I don't think that the process of thinking requires language. The thinking process is nothing but a neural process in which neurons fire until a patte...
Do you agree that his statement is contradictory? He stated that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe yet he claims that computer is ...
Well, that seems contradictory to me. Everything should be conscious if consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe. So a computer that si...
