Sure, but I try to think on them by myself reading the classic philosophical books. Google and A.I. parrots can be ok at times for finding best price ...

Google, all the ChatBots and AI parrots are not good source for knowledge. Most of the times, they talk nonsense. I don't use them at all. Please show...

Matter itself is not energy. Matter combined with motion is energy. When EnPassant is born, he is 0 year old. When he became 40 years old, he says he ...

My definition of time, if you asked me, is again an abstract concept. There is no physical time in reality. There are only motions and changes. We app...

I am delighted that you got the joke. :nerd:
January 15, 2025 at 17:02
Sure you did. However, it doesn't quite explain why you want to say the rose looks red, when it is red. This sounds like some scientific experiment re...

Isn't Aleph Null inaccessible, which is an ambiguity? All numbers are concepts i.e. ideas in human mind. They don't exist in the reality. Well they co...

This seems to be a great article on the topic. The majority of the articles in the SEP seems to be high quality in its contents. I shall read it up, a...

For vast majority of the ordinary folks wouldn't care, if the Earth was round or flat. They are busy keep leading their daily lives I would imagine. I...

You must understand that the way we capture the meaning of the world is largely via semantic. If you didn't have semantic, then you will no longer und...
January 15, 2025 at 10:45
Of course, but my question was why do you want to say the red rose looks red, instead of saying the rose is red? Isn't the reason that you say the ros...
January 15, 2025 at 10:40
I am not sure if that web site's articles are all high quality in its contents. I have very little faith on most of the internet sites (not all !!) in...
January 15, 2025 at 10:35
Ok, all seems a lot better making sense now. But formal logic cannot tell you truth about the world. Formal logic can only tell you if the axiomatic f...
January 14, 2025 at 14:07
Yes, I am sure we can come to some agreement. But there are a few more points to clarify here. You say you want to say that the roses look red. But th...

It was your argument claiming that because the covid patients smell something burning when there is nothing burning, the burning smell must be in our ...
January 14, 2025 at 13:35
Our judgements and expressions are also based on the customs, traditions and linguistic phenomenon. We call red roses red, and it is the universally a...
January 14, 2025 at 10:57
Why are they the ultimate truth?
January 14, 2025 at 10:51
Well, that is my point. Without that set of properties in the roses, red roses will not look red at all. Therefore it is not our brains, which constru...
January 14, 2025 at 10:45
Yes, there is possibility of deceiving in perception. You are right. However, on the issue of how the Earth looks, and how do you know it looks round,...
January 14, 2025 at 10:43
Some cases of sensory disorder of few folks shouldn't change how the the external world objects look and smell in general. Should they? Of course, if ...
January 14, 2025 at 10:32
There must be something which makes red roses look red in the roses. Would you not agree? Well, your post "redness is constructed by our brain" sounde...
January 14, 2025 at 10:23
The question is not asking how do you know X sounds, smells or feels such and such. When the question is how do you know X looks such and such, the mo...
January 13, 2025 at 23:37
We don't say my experience looks red, or my nose smells nice. We say the roses are red, and the rose smells nice. It is the roses (objects) which prov...
January 13, 2025 at 23:25
Ok, sounds reasonable. Does it mean "therefore" has some logical significance in the statement and all statements? When you say, "I think therefore th...
January 13, 2025 at 17:30
Fair point. When you say, "I know I think the Moon exists." sounds like just a monologue to yourself, which cannot make objective proof or verificatio...
January 13, 2025 at 16:53
To me, the both claims don't make sense. As I made clear that the shape of the Earth changes depending on where you are looking at it from. How is it ...
January 13, 2025 at 16:31
If the redness of the rose is constructed by your brain, can your brain construct the redness into pinkness or greenness? Does it mean your brain can ...
January 13, 2025 at 16:27
When I am looking at a red rose, I am looking at a red rose. I am not experiencing a red rose at that particular moment. After looking at a red rose, ...
January 13, 2025 at 14:41
I am not familiar with either Flat Earthers or Round Earthers claims. But my point is rather, it is interesting to infer how they arrived their knowle...
January 13, 2025 at 14:13
My point was that methodologies of arriving at the knowledge is as important as the knowledge itself. Never said, the Earth is flat, round, flatly rou...
January 13, 2025 at 13:31
That would be a self knowledge with no possibilities of proof. Would it be correct? That would be a simple task in proof. You go out to the garden at ...
January 13, 2025 at 13:23
It is meaningless to continue any kind of conversation with someone who are obsessed with trolling, and brand anyone asking questions or suggesting ot...
January 13, 2025 at 12:36
Could you demonstrate the point with some real life examples? Thanks.
January 13, 2025 at 11:53
No I can't. I do need experience first, before having qualia. Qualia comes after the end of experience. Qualia is also contingent. It is not necessary...
January 13, 2025 at 11:41
Whether the Earth is flat or round is not really a good question. You will see the Earth round, if you see it from the space. But if you see the Earth...
January 13, 2025 at 11:27
What is the difference between truth and the ultimate truth? What does it mean by the ultimate truth?
January 13, 2025 at 11:15
Nope. Qualia comes after experience as perceived qualities of the objects. Qualia is not part of experience.
January 13, 2025 at 11:03
If you know p, then you must be able to prove or verify you know p. How do you prove and verify that you know you think p?
January 13, 2025 at 10:14
Ideas are subjective thoughts. You say ideas are good or bad. You don't say ideas are beautiful or ugly. All arts are objects. Music is the songs and ...
January 13, 2025 at 09:38
Beauty and ugliness are features of the objects in the universe. We perceive and judge them. They are not intrinsic features of our experience. Experi...
January 12, 2025 at 12:34
Let say p stands for "I am", then I think p becomes "I think I am". The familiar Cartesian statement is "I think therefore I am." "I think I am" sound...
January 12, 2025 at 11:13
My brain never moves alone from the livingroom to the kitchen. The brain moves with the body located in the head physically altogether. So your premis...
January 11, 2025 at 21:48
The mind is part of the physical brain? Exactly which part in the brain? So when you say that you are the thought of p, you seem to be reducing yourse...
January 11, 2025 at 16:49
:ok: But how do you verify the "I think: P" for truth or falsity in formal logic?
January 11, 2025 at 16:41
But surely you are more than "the thought p", aren't you? I am guessing that you have a physical body, feelings, emotions, consciousness as well as th...
January 11, 2025 at 15:32
Would you say that the sentence "I think P", is actually two sentences? I think. P Could it be modified to, 1) I think, and P 2) I think therefore P 3...
January 11, 2025 at 13:27
What does this mean? Does it mean that the universe has consciousness?
January 11, 2025 at 07:47
Yes, fair enough. It looks clear if it were written in a message, diary or report of some sort. However I am not sure if it would be correct under the...
January 11, 2025 at 07:33
It seems to be an obscure sentence on its own. From the sentence only, we don't know whether, 1) you are saying that you are not sure on what you are ...
January 10, 2025 at 20:55
I don't agree. My point is that you seem to be confusing, claiming that facts and existence are identical to truths. They are not truths themselves. T...
