You seemed to miss the point. Claiming something is transcendentally true does not make it true. For example some claim that we must follow the teachi...

I have already made it clear that there is no transcendental proof. You can claim whatever you want and say it is transcendentally true. That does not...

No what you are arguing for is a shared agreement about beliefs of the transcendental. Not transcendental truth. But experiences vary and we do not al...

The truth that I know transcendentally that you are wrong cannot be investigated physically.

You would only be able to recognize it if you knew clearly what is transcendentally true and what is not.

I know transcendentally that you do not have any transcendental proof or knowledge of your claims.

How do you know I won't know it is transcendentally true and what is not?

You are the one that claims to know transcendentally. Not me.

I have answered several times what I am willing to accept as proof. The transcendental.

By definition you will not be able to show empirical evidence in support of your claim. So you tell me what sort of proof that will leave?

I am asking you to prove you know something transcendentally.

Ok show me your transcendental proof then?

Claiming you know something from a transcendental experience does not prove anything.

Anybody can claim to see or experience the transcendental.

lol I have beliefs but you have knowledge. Except you can't prove your knowledge.

Except nobody can see the transcendental. We are all color blind. Even those in our traditions.

We could say the same thing about any values. Your particular values are not a special case. Anybody with any values can claim the same thing and it d...

I guess you have never heard of the is/ought problem? It is very much not a fact that "values are values."

Typical, only the opposition has extremist that would impose totalitarianism. In fact a great many alt right "intellectuals" believe democracy should ...

Well Trump certainly sells himself as the alternative against the right wing establishment. And his rhetoric echo's the tone of white victimization th...

I am the universe becoming self aware.

I think romantic love is a necessary delusion.

Doesn't the alt right try to attach itself to Trump?

Told you it was good. No. On incompleteness Chaitin stress that we simply have to conclude that there is no finite set of axioms to describe all mathe...

I never claimed to be an expert. Those are your words not mine. I claimed that pomdp is a possible solution to a problem of infinite regress. Once aga...

And again the same is true of biological systems, biology will not function properly and will die without a given range of environmental stability. Pe...

At least we agree on that point. These terms are interdependent. This does not make it any clearer what you mean when you are using this term. Again r...

Chance is just another way to quantify probability. You have a 1 in 2 chance of getting heads in a coin toss for example. That is one interpretation. ...

Alright I concede your point here. When I mention terms I don't understand what they mean, except by some folksy definition of these terms. I don't re...

I don't see a difference. Probability is used because some things in nature are indeterminate. The terms probability, randomness, and chance are all u...

Agency is any system which observes and acts in it's environment autonomously. The same applies to a computational agent, it is embedded with its envi...

This seems like this is some of that folksy dualism you were talking about. Semantics and syntax are separated by some special case of nature. I did e...

You seem to be missing the point. Arguing that probability is just a misunderstanding about physics is an interpretation. There is no proof that the u...

I recently saw something I thought might be related to this topic. Apparently pew research did a survey and found that about 2/3 of white people don't...

Very well we could restate the tautology. "Being moral is moral." My main point was that moral facts, relative to syntax, may be said to exist. But up...

The question of which theory of the mind is correct and which theories are mutually exclusive of each other is still very much an open one in philosop...

We can prove that no particular observer is necessary for the laws of physics. That is to say different observers measure the same outcomes which prov...

I produced a deductive argument. The human mind did not create it's own hardware. We are simply products of chemistry. Measurement is not an informal ...

Way better than me. :P I was wrong about half the time. I even write poetry too (or well I used to) so I thought I would have an advantage.

No of course I don't agree that the best theory of the mind must be biological. I must admit I can make no sense of this. What the epistemic cut could...

Yes. Legislation can only be reactionary. There is no way to strictly enforce any law. But there is a way to convict a murderer in a court beyond reas...

It does seem like I would tend to do that in this example.. .

I was thinking something more like "tends to" as in "does more so than does not."

This does not follow from^ This.^ Suppose alphago was tasked with learning the problem of the context in which chinese is used and was able to converg...

Well like I said back on the first page when I heard Malala Yousafzai's story I started sobbing. I felt a brief flash of outrage then heartbreak becau...

Holy crap. Now that is scary.

I am not a news bug but what little I do tune into I have not heard any mention of Turkey. Perhaps someone that watches more frequently would better b...

I see your point that the US will make alliances that serves strategic purposes irrespective of ideology.

I was not aware the US has ever been called upon to defend Saudi? I would not risk my life to defend Suadi ideals either.
