We've considered why right winged interests would not enthusiastically embrace Magma Energy; now let's consider why left winged - supposed environment...
Would it help if I set up a link for you to click on? Really lay into you behind the scenes, and then come back on stage all smiles? Why would you thi...
Am I hypocrite Banno? Am I displaying masculine fragility and projection? How am I not to be offended by that; particularly as I'm the one who's expre...
Why would you think I was saying that to dear old Banno? I'm just wondering how I might distinguish myself, in future, from a bar of soap - should the...
Don't put me in one of your boxes - I'm not that guy and you know it. I'm not a climate denier; my disagreement is with limits to growth because Earth...
It's not her life though; because enforced consensus leaves no space to back down. Her decisions are not her own; they are those of the group - a grou...
If her silly little boat isn't stopped by Western forces, Greta Thunberg is going to get herself killed, and those who would delete my posts are going...
I'm either right about subjectivism and Limits to Growth being wrong, or I'm insane, because it's unreasonable to think I'm right and everyone else is...
No. I wrote that 'for around 1.5m years homo sapiens were making stone hand axes. Then suddenly, there was a change in behaviour...speaking to a chang...
I wasn't trying to convey a timeline as it is not the relevant issue. What is your purpose in establishing a correct timeline? Is there a point you ar...
It is, strictly speaking correct to say homo sapiens have been around for 200,000 years, but it's also true that the ancestors of homo sapiens have be...
I don't assume a subjective imposition of qualities; that's the whole point. The apple IS red, and I SEE a red apple. And what is more - so do you! Th...
I want to read Wayfarer's post in The Mind Created World, but it's quite long and I haven't had breakfast yet. If there were a reader; like for blind ...
In James Reeve's The Neanderthal Enigma he describes how homo sapiens spent about 1.5m years making the same stone hand axes. Then suddenly, in the ar...
Whereas an evil demon who maybe keeps our brain in a jar is a justifiable methodological device? Net down for your serve again! There are sound waves ...
I'm sure I've explained how Galileo was right; while Descartes wrote Meditations as a preemptive defence against impeachment by the Inquisition. I'm n...
I was expecting an even longer response, and dreading my even longer response to your even longer response. I respect your initiative in breaking the ...
It does for me, but I guess that's because the findings are consistent with what I believed anyway. The problem for you is explaining how intersubject...
We observe a state of affairs. The state of being conscious of a world existing externally to ourselves. Is it an empirical observation? Yes and no. Y...
There was an interesting experiment described by youtube science communicator Sabine Hossenfelder on measuring qualia. They put people in an MRI machi...
Okay then. If you wish, delete all my posts back to the joke, and delete that as well. I probably wouldn't have posted it sober, and I don't feel grea...
You're not afraid of a contradiction, are you? It's not my job to worry about what other people are responsible for. You may deny it, but you are resp...
In Madness and Civilisation Micheal Foucault describes how the extremes define the norm; that even if you disagree with someone's opinion, you should ...
If you cannot see the irony in lefty causes promoting the cause of deeply conservative religious terrorists; and you think it's crazy to make a joke p...
Thanks for the warning. I'll try to reign it in. I'll strive to sublimate my personality to conform to someone else's values - because the last thing ...
By teaming up, they've both shown what unprincipled grifters they are. Anytime someone says anything like "you can't say that it's homophobic" - you g...
Is my “red” your “red”?: Evaluating structural correspondences between color similarity judgments using unsupervised alignment Genji Kawakita1,2,7 ? A...
Not dualistic in the sense a subjectivist infers or employs dualism. I accept there's an object world, and subjective experience of it. I'll answer th...
Traffic lights. Their very existence presupposes a commonality of perception. And they're everywhere! As is art, colour coded electrical wires, signs ...
Good question. Subjectivists are very much - offence is in the eye of the beholder, such that my intent would be irrelevant to their offence taking. I...
I don't think dualism is an assumption. It's a description of a state of affairs. It's like saying gravity is an assumption. What reasonable evidence ...
President Trump's best friend Vlad is a problem, because, while the US is a big fossil fuel energy producer, the US would not need to divest and diver...
No! Not if he was saying black, black, black, err, no I meant white! No! That strongly implies an external influence. And we know what that influence ...
I'm doing exactly what it is I need to do; and it's not my fault I haven't succeeded in convincing the world of the virtues of Magma Energy. It's a be...
As far as I recall I have never eaten on, or from a barrel. Indeed, I cannot remember the last time I ate with someone else. I don't imagine Diogenes ...
No, you're not being clear, you're being intellectually dishonest - admitting Descartes was self censoring, but refusing to draw the conclusion that h...
President Donald J. Trump, First of all congratulations, on, well, everything. Everything you're doing is just so great. I'm sure you're absolutely ri...
Science without philosophical implication; science as a tool with no claim to be a rule for the conduct of human affairs? You might call that flourish...
Descartes died in 1650, 9 years after publishing Mediations in 1641; after contracting a cold in the Court of Queen Christina of Sweden. All his scien...
