Exactly. As you know. I'm conceptually clear on the difference between sex and gender and biological and other social contexts and potentially differe...

I would say the opposite. We should help the less fortunate. We should make roads more accessible and safe for blind people. We should make sure that ...

People are angry is universal claim. Technically i need only pick one person to prove it wrong. That would be me. But giving the claim some charity. I...

On narcissism If tomorrow you fully believed that you are a woman. For years you are depressed. You make a vagina where your penis is. You dress like ...

On energy The energy is easy. It takes less energy to say. "Hi woman" to someone wearing female clothes and who looks enough like one. Or to not menti...

On energy The energy is easy. It takes less energy to say. Hi woman to someone wearing female clothes and who looks enough like one. Then to do all we...

I'd initially give you this point. But a person's job title is an accidental property. Whereas a person's gender or sex is essential to one's identity...

I have thought about this recently. There's nothing we can say that we have to do ethically. Agrippa's Trilemma shows that we will fail to prove it. S...

That's a personal definition of politeness. Most would agree that calling them how they want to be called is more in line with politeness. I don't min...

Sorry for the late reply. Your response was very thoughtful and effortfull and I'd love to reply. We seem to agree technically. But I think you might ...

I haven't read everything you said after your OP. But if it remained as fair and civil. Then I can say I support your view mostly. The thing is. In th...

Hmm I think I was quite aware of your definition for consciousness as I stated it as subjective experience. I just assume for now that we need neurons...

I think "to be now". Means to be aware of what you are doing currently mentally. Or to be acutely aware of your direct environment. But in any of thes...

I see you're saying something similar as Nietzsche. He would probably say. "Platonists misinterpret their body". I'm not a Platonist. I don't believe ...

To answer: "What knowledge does my theory contradict?" The knowledge we currently have. Which is tentative is that consciousness/subjective experience...

So it seems your saying: 1. Consciousness is fundamental. 2. Subjective experience is fundamental. 3. Both are thus an essential property of fundament...

So I said if you have the image of a marble in your head. It's the image form of the idea of a marble. You said there's an essential difference betwee...

I think if you imagine a marble. It is the image of the idea of a marble. One could say the image is the idea in image form. The relationships are pro...

Thank you for posting this here. It's interesting. I doubt the first three bullet points are so controversial? So I'd like to move on to the fourth. Y...

I have to agree with @wonderer1 who challenged your view that man exists and breaks the rules and is not bound by its rules. In this case rules are mo...

Hmm. To be honest, I'm struggling to fully grasp your view. But it seems in the final stage of your response.(As quoted). You seem to posit that some ...

I guess you could say that ideas are accidental , non essential, fleeting properties of the universe. In that way your original claim can be true. How...

How are they properties of the universe? If all beings die. Where are the properties?

Is this saying that: Inside reasoning is non meta reasoning. And must be used to determine truth of an argument generally. Rather than using a meta le...

So are you saying that an idea is just our nature. It's not separate. Just like if I feel annoyed about a customer standing in my way. And if I then a...

I agree with you. The brain likely works more like a quantum computer then classical computers, quits then binary. I was asking the question "Do you t...

Thanks

Yes currently it doesn't seem like there is a neural correlate or specific way reality acts when the idea of a circle arises. What would happen if dow...

Do you think an idea X is a specific configuration X in the brain?

So it's a fleeting activity in the mind which can be exported and recalled (if we are lucky). The content of the idea will be some relationship betwee...

Thanks. I'm sure you recognized that English is not my native language. I sure hope to increase my clarity. (Did you use chat gpt?) And what your thou...

You say that metaphysical statements can't have a truth value. Because they can't be verified nor be falsified. Do you really mean to say that. We sho...

Would you say the question ''what is real?" Doesn't have a correct answer because it is a metaphysical question? As in for all x if x is a metaphysica...

I would say that people have used gender terms in some form or other across time and culture. Without necessarily being aware of it in that way. Quite...

In order to answer the question what is knowledge. We could point to "books of knowledge" and check what most aligns with how the word knowledge was u...

Who says you can know a true belief just because it is deemed justified? But not know true information if one has good justifications for believing th...

yes I agree. I think time isn't a thing part of space. It's just what we use to explain motion across extension (space). And motion and the natural ab...

The meaning of space if there was no matter? Meaning as in what it IS. Or what the purpose of it would be? If purpose. Does it need a purpose? If you ...

So I walk. My friend walks two meters away from me..the space we occupy and between is. Is secondary to my friend and I? What would that mean. That fi...

Justice initially arose as a feeling reflecting a sense of retribution. But later we started to feel that maybe retribution isn't so fair. Definitely ...

Time exists only for as long as things move. It's an emergent abstract property that we detect. It's what follows from movement intensity. So if every...

I agree. We see something. We coin a new word. People ask us to define it and it will fall short. Over time we use the word in different ways. And we ...

So you meant it like this then? Me: "I rode a bicycle" You: Sez you who made it true by direct experience. For all I know. You didn't ride a bycicle. ...

I'm not arguing for the importance of whether I was on this forum before or whether you should care. That would be a strawman of my intent.I was argui...

Gettier cases show not that we can have "justified true belief" and still don't have knowledge. If so define me the word you assume we don't have when...

You did. I've tried as best I can to clearly layout what I mean when I use words like knowledge. (Even if implied this is problematic. And I have stay...

The experience of being on the forum the first time can be put into information via a thought. It's equivalent enough. I agree that I have direct expe...

......... We don't always find it easy to have a clear definition yes. We teach kids what a tree and a car is by showing them pictures of different tr...

With JTB. 'the earth is flat' would have been assumed to be knowledge. But then layer turned out to be justified belief. So not knowledge. With 'true ...
