Relativist

I do know the difference. Proceed with your proof. Rephrase your argument accordingly. Are you saying the Mind recreates MoK's brain ex nihilo at ever...

P: the physical in the state of S1 cannot know the correct instant to cause the physical in the state of S2. Q: Therefore, the physical in the state o...

I know you weren't talking about functionalism, but it IS the answer to your question - and to many other objections to physicalism. It means you can'...

No. You're reversing the burden of proof. Provide a formal proof that physicalism is impossible, with clearly stated premises. OK. P1) Physical and ex...

:snicker:

You had asked, "How could you accommodate awareness in physicalism?" My answer: "functionally". I'm defending physicalism, which can either be reducti...

Here's your argument: 1. Physical however is not aware of the passage of time. 2. Therefore, the physical in the state of S1 cannot know the correct i...

By what rule of logic? See: https://cse.iitk.ac.in/users/cs365/2012/rulesLogic.html

"Cannot" implies it is impossible. That's a strong claim that needs to be supported with a proof. Provide it using only mutually acceptable premises. ...

It's an invalid argument! Here it is, with your statements numbered: 1. Physical however is not aware of the passage of time. 2. Therefore, the physic...

I then gave this example: Prove there is a dependency on knowledge for the rock to fall, and land when it does.

You said: If that's not what you meant to say, then acknowledge you were wrong in making such a general statement, and rephrase it in a way you will d...

First you need to acknowledge that Knowledge is not a necessary condition for causation. You have a habit of making absurd statements, treating them a...

You gave an example that INVOLVES application of knowledge. Cause-effect due to (for example) laws of motion do not depend on knowledge. A rock dislod...

Non-sequitur. You simply re-asserted that knowledge is necessary. A law of nature necessitates an effect. Causation is temporal.

Knowledge is not a necessary condition for causation.

So your "proof" that physicalism is false is based on the assumption that physicalism is false. Circular reasoning. You may believe physicalism is fal...

I had a feeling you were younger than me! I was 8 in Oct 1962.

Subjective judgement, but why don't you start a thread describing your metaphysical theory so we can judge its feasibility.

I was referring to the argument in the Op (I referred to an "alleged proof). Regarding your arguments, you haven't proven physicalism is impossible - ...

I explained several posts ago:

I was responded to your suggesting I had not demonstrated physicalism was coherent, because I hadn't accounted for things like meaning. You felt my pr...

In all cases I was simply responding to you. In my very first post, I brought up the issue of how "experience" is defined, noting that one COULD defin...

You're right, Trump is irrational. A better characterization is that he rationalizes some of the things he does. Re: Nato, he has already de facto lef...

Here's the entirety of Trump's post on Tuesday, rationalizing his becoming aligned with Putin: "Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr...

Yes, you did: Given your insult, I now gather that you weren't asking me for a definition, but that wasn't clear. Communication is a 2-way street. Acc...

Inferring meaning is not uncaused. It is caused by our interaction with the world. Meaning entails a "word to world" relationship, where "world" is ou...

It's falsified on the assumption that the actual world mind-dependent. Similarly, a mind-dependent world is falsified by an assumption of physicalism....

It seems that you don't account for the existence of mind (or mental activities) at all. You just deny physicalism, and offer no alternative. So what?...

First I'll note that you're going with a broad definition of experience, one that applies to mindless objects as well as objects with minds. A boulder...

Your theory also has shortcomings. You admitted to a huge one: Further, you note that we don't know that we're seeing the world as it is, but that als...

I pointed out in my first post that "experience" could be defined in a way that includes rocks; We subsequently honed in on "mental experiences", whic...

Sure, but why shouldn't we trust this judgement? If we don't trust it, then no scientific or metaphysical claims are justified. Then you should accept...

Non-sequitur. As I said: An experience is a set of perceptions (changes to the brain) and the related changes it leads to (eg the emotional and intell...

It's grounded In the actual world. Don't you agree one exists? No, it doesn't. It just doesn't treat mind as the center of attention in metaphysics, l...

Agreed. What you regard as psychic aspects are a product of the abstract framework. It doesn't entail something nonphysical (in the broadest sense). I...

I disagree; all the processes are experienced - changes to the brain take place, but these changes are not connected directly to the portions that exh...

I already answered that: You then asked me to define "perception", which I did, and now you've ignored all that and are reasking the question I alread...

Perception=a short term memory produced when our sensory organs sends electrochemical signals to a portion of the brain that channels the data to the ...

An experience is a set of perceptions (changes to the brain) and the related changes it leads to (eg the emotional and intellectual reaction; the memo...

You defined "experience" as: You're defining "experience" with more vague terms: "Event", "conscious event", "information". The brain changes due to p...

There is an abundance of fake news (original definition) on social media. The list is common sense: it's ridiculous to give equal credibility to every...

1)Your question reifies "experience". The brain is changed by new perceptions and the act of thinking. 2) Yes to laws of nature, but there may be some...
