I don't know what your philosophy for new members is. It seems a Darwinian selection procedure.
October 11, 2024 at 16:27
I actually first was shocked like shit and even trembled. It took me 15 seconds before I could see the humor. Now all good.
October 11, 2024 at 16:25
Haha I don't know how I should read your question. Do you mean that I sound so confident that I would never have a doubt? I have been called arrogant ...
October 11, 2024 at 14:24
You asked me to give my thoughts. Others have already confirmed, yes it is possible and it has a name. Also it has applications, the being the most re...
October 11, 2024 at 13:09
Consciousness, on the other hand, I see as something that you can only confirm for yourself "hey, I exist! I can feel the wind in my hair" This realis...

Let's keep it constructive. Intelligence can be defined. For practical purposes, we have IQ tests to measure it. For animal intelligence, we have test...
October 11, 2024 at 12:10
funny. Yes. Doesn't everybody do that here? My question is, in fact, more about which of the three is the accepted behavior here. I don't want people ...
October 11, 2024 at 11:57
I need some advice on how I can communicate recurring topics. I wrote about my view on consciousness in two or three comments already. Should I refer ...
October 11, 2024 at 10:13
Intelligence can be defined, consciousness not. It is our own personal experience. I cannot know you are conscious, I assume it because you are human ...
October 11, 2024 at 10:09
There are things you can know independent of the 'real' world. "I am conscious" is one. Note that this is not an emperical inference. The knowing of "...
October 11, 2024 at 10:00
You are right, it is a leap of faith and not a logical conclusion. That leap of faith is the start of all inventions. "We can fly to the moon" has bee...
October 11, 2024 at 09:31
I did a search on the word "hallucinations" to be sure that nobody mentioned them, and the browser found one more than there actually are... Give me m...
October 11, 2024 at 08:28
I do not understand who/what you are commenting on. Nobody talked about dreams, hallucinations and imagination. I tried to understand where you are co...
October 11, 2024 at 08:25
There are a few things I do not understand about the discussions on consciousness. The consciousness we know ourselves to be, that is the first person...
October 10, 2024 at 19:36
That's some serious solid advice, thank you!
October 10, 2024 at 10:08
The question becomes, do these people that have no language, do they think? Do they show intelligent behavior? Probably yes. And can that be explained...
October 10, 2024 at 08:32
Somebody defeating Einstein. Somebody more arrogant than me! That should be stopped. Einstein started with one simple assumption: suppose there is a m...
October 10, 2024 at 07:01
I just read it several times with intervals of 2 hours and now I understand ;) You mentioned these two, explained in my own words: (A) people who only...
October 09, 2024 at 19:31
Another example is OpenAI moving from open source & non-profit to the opposite. Yes, on that level we need trustworthy rules, agreed. My personal conc...
October 09, 2024 at 13:40
Yes, I read it. I don't believe contradictions are a problem in conceptual thinking. It even happens in formal systems like Math. Some things you have...
October 09, 2024 at 13:04
I believe intelligence can not come without independence. I will do my best to get this point more clear in the next few weeks, but the basic argument...
October 09, 2024 at 12:32
You talk about contradiction. I have a few more for you here. The example of "future" was given and you stated that the future is "unknown" but not "u...
October 09, 2024 at 12:24
The machine is artificial, but to what extend is its intelligence? We leave it to the "laws" of emergent complexity. These are "laws" in the same sens...
October 09, 2024 at 11:46
Yes, I agree, and that is the sole reason I decided to get on this forum, to get a better grip on that problem. Because it is a live or death choice w...
October 09, 2024 at 11:43
I think we're on the same level here. Do you also agree with the following? Currently AI is largely coordinated by human-written code (and not to forg...
October 09, 2024 at 10:31
Coming from a different worldview, I am not sure if this is the place to engage in this discussion. But here is my attempt. Just to point out, I am no...
October 09, 2024 at 10:10
What I see is that you are opposing "cannot comprehend" against "refuse to define". Can you explain that more?
October 09, 2024 at 09:41
I don't understand what you are saying here. It sounds like two opposite stands, but the first has a double negation and the second has none, so they ...
October 09, 2024 at 07:20
Hi Plex, I'm also new here. Welcome. I think there is one thing I know, and that is that "I exist" or "I am", as they call it. But then, I do not now ...
October 08, 2024 at 17:38
I will
October 08, 2024 at 14:43
O there is one more place where you tell me what I am doing wrong, it makes a little bit more sense here. (Numbering added by me.) 1) It's a mixture o...
October 08, 2024 at 14:39
not excluding my own thinking for that matter!
October 08, 2024 at 14:19
The funny thing is that this whole thing proves that human thinking is broken. Read what I said. The same argument is held to me again and again, foll...
October 08, 2024 at 14:09
But mine is about the core of philosophy, limitations of human language and thinking. And fdrake said it was moved to the Lounge because it didn't sti...
October 08, 2024 at 12:49
This is a post that was moved to the Lounge because it didn't leave enough room for discussion, as I understand it. Look at the discussion going on th...
October 08, 2024 at 12:32
Basically you are saying, don't have the guts to publish OP in a regular category. Even if I write something that is at the core of philosophy, namely...
October 08, 2024 at 12:05
To me your answer shows that it is perfectly possible to have a discussion with me. Because here we are, discussing.
October 08, 2024 at 12:03
O, one more thing. The only explanation you have given here are these two points: Asking others to validate my ideas experientially, why does that sto...
October 08, 2024 at 11:40
Ok, I'll leave it here. Let others tell me what I apparently cannot see.
October 08, 2024 at 11:21
No I sent him the full OP text plus the pdf. Just because I was not sure to what extend this was acceptable. "It's good" is not a conditional acceptan...
October 08, 2024 at 11:20
But all the information was in that email, including the pdf of the book, and Jamal says "It's good". I post it and two minutes later it is deleted.
October 08, 2024 at 11:17
You're making it worse and worse for yourself. I try not to throw shit at you, but now I'll have to tell all the details. On Thu, Oct 3, 2024 at 15:25...
October 08, 2024 at 11:07
You deleted it first, it was only brought back with intervention of others
October 08, 2024 at 10:58
So if people say the moon is a cube, and I am telling them to look out of the window to see it is actually round, that is not allowed? Then if they st...
October 08, 2024 at 10:49
Later I was NOT allowed to mention anything in my posts. I took my website offline including the booklet. I wrote original OP, although, naturally, I ...
October 08, 2024 at 10:43
Here is my original email to Jamal: Hello, My name is Carlo Roosen and I would like to get an invitation to be able to contribute to the website theph...
October 08, 2024 at 10:38
I am glad you are repeating all this here, so other people see what I had to deal with for several days...
October 08, 2024 at 10:35
Other users. And nothing offensive, they suggested that mentioning Kant was a sidestep, that's all. I'll edit the post here to remove that confusion.
October 08, 2024 at 10:21
I am not talking about you
