My point was there are different types of logic, some contentless, some content given, or filled. They don't work all the same. Anyhow, my real point ...

My point was that your claim that Logic is contentless, and incapable of describing the world doesn't make sense. Maybe you have read it somewhere on ...

If we get the AIs working for us cleaning, washing, writing, cooking, gardening ... etc etc, we will have plenty of free time for sure. :D

:ok: :up:

You have been talking in terms of some old classic logic point of view. There have been huge developments in Logic for many years, and now there are m...

I have been pessimistic on AI's humanisation par excellence, but having said that I was impressed by the progress of the technology in 2023 after watc...

Houston, we have a problem. A.I. has been catching us up. They are going to replace us soon. :(

Isn't being conscious or consciousness the pre-condition for all the other mental activities?

I have defined what consciousness is in living existence in the other thread. Of course it would be naive to think that a computer / machine conscious...

Cogito ergo verum. I think, therefore I am real.

I didn't need to get into the symbolic formal proof for this elaboration. Just the plain English reasoning was enough. The proposition has implied pre...

"What is an example of absolute non existence? Ans.: It is the absolute non-existence between two things for all time. This absence is eternal. For ex...

Absolute is actually an absolutely important quantifier in this thread. Let us suppose that "Absolute nothingness" was defined as a concept for the st...

Sure. I will make up my own analyses of the reasoning, and come back with it. Please forward your formal proof. Thanks.

I tried to analyse the statement further with logical reasoning, and the conclusion I got is, it is neither true nor false. Therefore it is not a vali...

I feel part of the statement in the argument seems unclear. "Absolute nothingness is impossible to x"? x= exist, imagine, conceive, eat, see, smell, h...

:cool: :ok:

I have a book called Metaphysics by Baumgarten, which Kant had studied. But I could not find any books by Wolf in English. There are some Wolf books a...

What would be the "something" that you perceive?

Maybe the monkey was a secret agent sent out to the Crown Prince by Hume? Perhaps that would be the reason why it is so difficult to get hold of any o...

An interesting point ! :up: Mind can also perceive the process of changes and temporality of objects in the external world. When an object changes fro...

You can perceive the essence of the Absolute Nothingness via Husserl's phenomenological method called Bracketing, which is to bracket the distracting ...

Thanks for your reply on the counterpart words for those words. This is a new way to view the words for me. I will mull them over. I think the abstrac...

:lol: :ok: :fire:

What are the counterpart words for "car", "book" and "Coca Cola"?

Yes, interesting indeed. Do you have the quotes from Hume's works?

Having said that, it exists as you wrote it down. It exists on its own as a concept without meaning or denotation. If it didn't exist, you couldn't ha...

There seem to be too many religions already. The world doesn't need any more new religions.

In Hume's view, "Absolute Nothingness" is an empty concept, which denotes nothing. Hume wrote in his Treaties, “If we take in our hand any volume; of ...

I bought a half dozen Neurology and Psychology books on the Brain and Perception, and scanned through them over and over again for days, but none of t...

Hello Bob Ross No problems. No need for apology. We get all busy time to time. Thank you for getting back to me. Yes, by all means. I will read your c...

When you say something inside your body, is it a physical object? Or is it something non-physical? Can you see or touch it? From your answers on 3 & 4...

Could you then please explain how the brain generates the mind? Please explain in detail how can the mental can emerge from the physical.

I would like to ask you some more basic questions regarding the topic. 1. Do you claim that "I" is the same as the "self"? or is "I" a human being? 2....

I am not denying the existence of the brain, or the involvement of the brain in mental events. But dragging the brain into the Epistemic discussion ha...

I don't think it is a good idea to bring the brain into Epistemology. Brain is, of course, the essential organ for perception, thoughts, and all the m...

I think having all these different perceptions in the mind is evidence for the existence of self, but perceptions, sensations and feelings are not the...

This idea is absurd in that, if all these ideas/concepts/mental objects are the self, then you end up having 1000s of different selfs.

I used to hang out on Twitters with the like-minded people years ago, but now it is totally transformed into a gigantic marketing arena with the new o...

Few year ago, I used to distrust information from Wiki or any online source, and the people who copy & paste the contents from the online sources into...

How are they different?

It would be helpful, if you could clarify, whether your idea of self is purely mental, or physical in nature, or combinations of both. In other words,...

I go by the concept that the idea of self is identical to self consciousness. It seems to be a reasonably widely accepted opinion on the topic. I was ...

I wouldn't be interested in chatting to the robots at all. I prefer chatting to the real humans for sure. :)

Interesting that you mentioned Habermas, because I just bought a book by him called "Truth and Justification". But for the OP questions, could it be t...

I will be keeping all my old textbooks, Encyclopaedia and the philosophy books. At one point, I was thinking of getting rid of the old paper books, bu...

:cool: :up:

Sorry if you took it personally. I didn't mean to be disrespectful at all. My point was all about your argument. It had nothing to do with you persona...

That sounds like a linguistic use of "imagine" (meaning he never expected that would happen). But I was meaning "imagination" as a creative visual fac...
