Would it be possible to imagine something that you have never seen or experienced in your life before, or places that you have never visited in real l...
I am not sure "Imagine" is the right word to describe what we do with other minds. Imagination sounds like free mind play on the mental objects when y...
I am not sure on the exact information on ChatGPT myself, because I just discovered it a few days ago, and tried it. Yes, it would be relying on the i...
You call them "common realities", and I call them as "language, logic and reasoning". Thanks for presenting your own argument on the topic. Yes we can...

You say that something exists. What is the evidence that something exists? For example, have you seen it, touched it, heard it, smelt it? Where was it...
Above point tells us Logic is not just simple symbolic formula manipulation. Some people (not the OP) seem to think Logic is just a bit of formulas wh...
Thinking about other minds in line with self perception sounds like a great idea. But as you say, it is impossible to see in the other minds internall...
The word "assert" gives the impression that it is an act of speech or statement forcefully and confidently made with noticeable psychological intent t...
Why does one need to "assert" that he exists? I have never seen or heard anyone saying that in real life. Does it mean that when one is "not asserting...
One only exists, when one asserts he thinks, therefore he exists. :roll: And other times, he doesn't. That sounds not valid. Shouldn't Cogito be under...
Energy as consciousness or mind? A gigantic and unacceptable categorical mistake. Imagination gone wild in PhyFi (yet again). Energy lacks everything ...
Hello Bob Ross As I have said already, my definition is various. But I usually go by metaphysics is philosophy itself. All my previous posts in this t...
Who? You raised the issue. Who else? Yes, I was saying because you never added content to logic, maybe that is your point on logic? My use of Logic wa...
The main operation of Philosophy is not about creating new ideas, but evaluating the existing ideas and claims with the critical analysis and reasonin...
You learn how to make use of Logic in real life applications by manipulating the formulas and filling the variables with your own data to apply to the...
Hello Bob Ross The OP's definition of metaphysics is too restrictive, so it seems the discussions will end up nowhere, even after months of circling a...
According to Locke, pictures are also ideas. Ideas are thoughts and memories. Justification or judgment must be either from intuition or A priori reas...
Thanks for the article. Interesting. Yeah, some other non-human species definitely seem to possess some level of linguistic abilities for sure, but th...
So what is the point of the comment? Logic has been used extensively in real life, science and technology and metaphysics. You add the contents to the...
Another example of the metaphysical concepts, that you seem to accept as the reality is Time and Space. These are the entities which are shared topics...
Hiya Bob Ross In that case, your models are not much different from imaginations either. Because you are rejecting metaphysics under the ground of the...
Wow, that is real cool links thanks. I managed to download your paper on the Complex Time Contours. It is way over my mathematics level, but it looks ...

Let's imagine someone waking up from a coma or a long deep sleep in the room. They would be confused about why they are in a confined space with walls...
Yes, you are correct. The estimation of time passed since being placed in the confined space and the perception of time through observation of changes...
I think they are different. The world created by your minds is totally different from the perceived one. For example, the world depicted by an artist ...
Aren't the senses part of your mind? Are the senses separate entities from the mind operating themselves disconnected from the mind? You say you were ...
I think the regularities in the universe is the same nature as the perception of cause and effect (the cement of the universe), time described by Hume...
If there was no Logic providing any content, you wouldn't have your computer or smartphone running and connected to the internet, typing up the messag...
Hello Bob Ross. Can you trust all your empirical perception and observation? Are the data you gathered via your senses 100% error free? If you are ins...
There are imagined world, perceived world and the world itself. If you are an idealist, you would be believing the perceived world as the real world? ...
