Yes, they will still be in demand. The good old paper books will always be with us, it looks like.

Do we fantasise other people's minds? I can't imagine ( By the way, imagine here is a linguistic usage, nothing to do with the epistemological use of ...

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...
October 07, 2023 at 20:43
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...

My reality is my mental and physical world accessible to me exclusively. Your reality is your mental and physical world accessible to yourself exclusi...

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...
October 07, 2023 at 11:27
You made the claim, therefore you must prove it. :) Please prove the claim using your argument with reasoning and logical evidence.
October 07, 2023 at 09:55
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...

Prove it.
October 07, 2023 at 08:58
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...

Sure. Good definition. :up:
October 06, 2023 at 21:06
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...
October 06, 2023 at 12:00
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 ...
October 05, 2023 at 18:02
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...
October 05, 2023 at 08:01
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...
October 05, 2023 at 07:54
The main operation of Philosophy is not about creating new ideas, but evaluating the existing ideas and claims with the critical analysis and reasonin...

October 04, 2023 at 15:55
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...
October 04, 2023 at 12:19
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...
October 04, 2023 at 12:08
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 :blush: :pray:
October 03, 2023 at 17:10
Thanks for the article. Interesting. Yeah, some other non-human species definitely seem to possess some level of linguistic abilities for sure, but th...
October 03, 2023 at 17:08
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...
October 03, 2023 at 09:11
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...
October 03, 2023 at 09:03
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...
October 03, 2023 at 08:49
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 ...

The various branches of Logic has been used for the real life technology applications by adding the contents into the formulas for a long time. I supp...

Yup agree with your points. A brilliant summary. :cool::up:
October 02, 2023 at 19:42
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...
October 02, 2023 at 15:58
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...
October 02, 2023 at 15:53
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 ...
October 02, 2023 at 12:07
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 ...
October 02, 2023 at 11:26
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...
October 02, 2023 at 09:34
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...
October 02, 2023 at 09:26
So if you block out and disable all your senses, then what knowledge of the world would you get?

October 02, 2023 at 00:19
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? ...
October 02, 2023 at 00:19
Yes, I feel the OP is a large topic, and I must admit I haven't gone into the core yet. I was asking questions from the elementary epistemological poi...
October 02, 2023 at 00:12
The title of the OP says "The Mind-Created World" :chin: :roll:
October 01, 2023 at 23:40
Isn't the created world in your mind more prone to be illusive than the perceived world?
