When I was much younger and still believed in religious things I took these commandments literally. Which meant worship of Jesus was a sin, because he...

That is where we disagree. I do not view syntax and semantics as interdependent. You acknowledge yourself that there are examples where there is no me...

Where is there meaning without syntax though? If meaning is just syntax then there is no reason it can not be physical.

You asked what was the problem for dualism. I answered. The problem for dualism is to account for how the non-physical acts upon the physical causally...

Realpolitik is meaningless term.

If the mind is not physical then why should it have causal influence upon the physical? If the mind does have causal influence upon the physical then ...

Until they have to deal with an automated teleservice.

We use the term like it is an empty set.

If it is an issue of personhood only then, as I said, there is already a legal precedent. I said it was a matter of choice because when a fetus dies b...

I don't mind good arguments for making abortion illegal. There is a legal precedent for the personhood of a fetus, for example consider the cases of d...

I don't agree that physicalism is a reaction to dualism it is simply monism for the sake of not multiplying beyond necessity. We don't need dualism to...

We would spend our time complaining how lousy that the AI performs at its jobs.

I am not convinced. I suspect that something deeper is going on that gives rise to the impression of a dichotomy. Of course I am not smart enough to d...

You mean like a China brain?

My personal view is that determinism and probability are not necessarily incompatible and are aspects of something more fundamental.

shrugs what can you do

Quantum mechanics is, by definition, probabilistic not deterministic. Interpretations of QM are deterministic not the formal framework itself. https:/...

If we can conceive of p-ducks then duckness isn't physical We can conceive of p-ducks Therefore, duckness isn't physical

There are lots of problems with determinism. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/determinism-causal/#StaDetPhyThe

It seems like you are expecting it to be a dirty joke when it does not have to be.

Maybe you are over thinking it. The punchline is obvious to me.

No it has a clear meaning. The wife intends for them to have fun together, but for the husband fun does not involve his wife.

The husbands idea of fun does not include his wife.

You don't get it or you don't find it funny?

I am sorry I should have said I find it improbable that you have not ever visited a hospital. I did not mean to suggest you were lying but rather that...

I don't believe you. I suspect you have visited a hospital and that you did so because you understand the scientific method is the most reliable way t...

Not necessarily. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/determinism-causal/#StaDetPhyThe

If you, or a loved one, became seriously ill or injured you would not rely upon the scientific method? OK. I don't believe you. Nobody is that irratio...

I suspect you only say this is your belief. But when you become seriously ill or injured you go to a hospital because you understand that the method o...

I disagree. Facts are discovered by employing a particular method, the scientific method. If you do not employ that method you are not accessing any f...

I think notion is too ambiguous. Politics deals with ideologies and ethics, I don't see how you can separate these things from politics. So to me it m...

I have to say I don't think a lot of those apply in western cultures. It may be true that there are more men in positions of political power than wome...

If I was a student that wanted to cheat in your measurement class I would still have to have some idea of what a device produced as a measurement. If ...

You are speaking to accuracy of facts then. The degree which the results vary between students in your example would be within a particular tolerance....

So you are in a science class and you are supposed to weigh a stone. The scales says one thing. But that does not matter, the weight of the stone is w...

Well feminism certainly had an impact in western cultures there is no disputing that.

I wonder if feminists should be considered original and significant female philosophers. That certainly would increase the number among the ranks of p...

That is what is going on here. You are claiming something you can't substantiate and then suggesting that it is funny when I point that out.

I think I see your point. I did not mean to imply that there are not or never have been social constructs that result in gender disparity. I just don'...
