The issue here is the type of "intuition" which could receive the noumena. Notice that Kant distinctly states that there is an intuition which these o...
We need a premise concerning the passing of time, to get from the present as what is happening, to "what has happened" and "what is yet to happen". In...
The flowing stream of time is a specific description from the perspective of the human presence. This is the perspective which gives us the continuous...
Thanks for the interesting reference apokrisis. But I think the Wikipedia article somewhat misrepresents Lamarckism, especially here: "In contrast, La...
I'm sorry ucarr, I did not make myself clear. I cannot conceive of the present itself as a flowing stream. It would have to be the perspective from wh...
As I said, your original question was incomprehensible to me. The part which followed "if not..." was a very poor representation (straw man) because t...
This is not what I am arguing for, it is what I called the "conventional" perspective, which I am arguing against as a misconception.. What I called "...
Measurement is of quantify. And we do not experience any distinct points, or quanta of time, which would provide for such a quantification. That is ce...
I gave a complete explanation. The past is defined as what has gone by in time, and this is substantiated by memory. The future is defined as what wil...
The question of the op is not what is the current practise, but which came first. Yeah sure, straight lines are already curved, just like squares are ...
Right, I think that what is really the case, is that "the present is defined relative to the past and the future". That is the conventional definition...
"Present" is defined by conscious experience, the presence of being. Past and future are defined by before and after in relation to a duration of time...
The issue I explained, is that I can conclude from a logical process, that my conscious experience of the present must consist partly of past. I went ...
I agree that the past is fixed, and the future is not, but this creates enormous, seemingly unsurmountable problems for understanding the nature of th...
To me, what you describe here is simply the way we speak. That it makes no sense to say that a person is asleep and awake, both at the same time, is s...
It's both, I explained. We determine logically that there must be a point in time when a change begins. So it's as I explained, we see logically that ...
I don't know, can you say what those ratios would be? You have to admit that what people can do with mathematics is extremely fascinating, even magica...
This is basic geometry. A curved line is fundamentally incompatible with a straight line because the one has two dimensions while the other only has o...
The problem here is that we need to know, with absolute certainty that the conditions have been met, in order for the experiment to be useful. The two...
This is the point we've come to. We seem to be in total agreement. I agree that "there must be" such points of distinction. That is what I've called t...
It seems this discussion has become rather pointless, even though you are continually trying to insert arbitrary points. This you do simply for the sa...
Sure, I might not be very agreeable, but if you read Stanford's article on a priori justification, you'll see that there are many problems with Kant\s...
It is incoherent to describe this as two distinct experiences, in succession, unless there is something which separates them. Otherwise you have just ...
I do not agree with your interpretation of Kant here. The categories are produced by judgement, and I think that Kant does not properly characterize j...
I agree, that is one way of looking at things. We can class all divisions as artificial. Then we must look at the nature of divisibility itself. The a...
The breakthrough referred to here, intellectual conversion, or illumination, is to apprehend the priority of conceptions and ideas. Ideas are first in...
Well, it's intuition, with many complicated factors involved. But I am not arguing that, am I? I am arguing continuity. So despite the fact that there...
That's a complex issue beyond the scope of this thread, which would only serve as a distraction, but the photoelectric effect indicates that energy is...
I believe that understanding the various forms of post-Platonism (rather than Neo-Platonism) is very significant to any study of metaphysics. Plato ex...
More evidence of your indoctrination. The onus is on the researcher, to show the evidence, that's how science works. By giving the process the same na...
The article is evidence of your indoctrination. There is clearly equivocation. The opening paragraph starts talking about "cellular learning", then cl...
I think you equivocate. Neural networks of AI are said to be "trained". But we weren't talking AI, we were talking about biological neurons, involved ...
Yes, similar to that, but not quite the same. An individual is trained, a person or some other being. We do not train a part of a person. I find that ...
I don't see your point. We always apply such restrictions in the case of any universals. "Elm" has its restrictions, "tree" has its restrictions, "pla...
It's not appropriate to say that a neural net is "trained". Nor is it appropriate to say that a neural net performs word recognition. So I'll just say...
I think that what it reveals is that the process is noy like we think it is. And I guess that's why we have different opinions about it, no one really...
I think that's right. I think different people read in different ways. That's why some read faster than others. I myself read in different ways depend...
How could there be such a thing as a "sensible and intellectual characteristics of the experienced object which do not exhibit necessity and strict un...
I checked your link. Notice that each letter still needs to be there. Luke says reading occurs as a temporal order, I disagreed. Your link seems to su...
Can you, plaque flag, explain to me, the principles by which you distinguish a subject from an object? For example, notice in the second quote above, ...
More work is required before this can be determined. If we can find natural points of division, and abide by them, measurement would be improved great...
To clarify what I meant, the "arbitrary" measurement is a type of measurement, but not accurate or precise. I should not have said it is not a measure...
I don't think I said it's impossible to measure one's present, only that such a measurement would be quite arbitrary. Your Google search supports this...
:"Limitless power" implies nothing is impossible. Don't you think? So the question is an exercise in recognizing incompatible concepts, kind of like a...
If you read more of my posting in the last week, you'll see this is not true at all. We can discuss our differences and work out systems of compromise...
