Although I wouldn’t state that I have a perfect understanding of it, who’s to say that I don’t treat it seriously? On the contrary, far from it being ...

I can’t tell, is this supposed to be you opposing the Cartesian “dream argument”? If we can’t know the truth of what’s outside of the realm of experie...

How can creating it yourself prove that it doesn’t exist? That would be absurd. Moreover, just because I can’t create something doesn’t mean that it d...

I only have a somewhat vague recollection of Kant’s work, as I once did rank his philosophy highly but now don’t so much & forsook much of it because ...

Do you think that a “round square” is an impossibility? If so, then, well, obviously it’s not impossible to know what isn’t the case in the “extra-sen...

You know what? If you like (no insistence at all), you can state why you think that that’s the case, & I’ll make sure to eventually to address your ar...

Well, alrighty then. :cool: Ah, Kant. He certainly does open up quite a few can of worms, doesn’t he? Although I appreciate your willingness to engage...

Well, then, Wayfarer, I’m glad that you can see that now. As I expressed to another member,

The research concludes that a true understanding of reality must appeal to something deeper or more fundamental than spacetime itself, which Descartes...

So, to make sure, again, are you, in opposition to or against the study, (1) saying that the simulation theory hasn’t been disproven by the study? Als...

That’s all what means? Indeed, that part of the O.P. that you’ve quoted & are replying to here just points out that because the researchers’ understan...

When you said that, This appeared to me to be your counter or defense against the study; in other words, you’re saying that the latter case is still a...

That you’re bowing out is understandable given your noted misjudgments thus far. Anyhow, do as you feel. Take care.

Your reply is somewhat ambiguous, in my opinion. Are you saying, in opposition to or against the aforementioned study, that one can eventually describ...

Never said that it does. The study is about the simulation theory, the precursor of which, so people who’re in the Western tradition often say, either...

Contrary to popular belief, Descartes doesn’t say that we can’t obtain certainty about reality. Indeed, he very much emphasizes the point that he has ...

I appreciate that. Thank you. I’ve seen others make the same, or a very similar, reply in defense of the simulation theory, namely, that it doesn’t en...

You seemingly misunderstand not only Descartes’ “dream argument” but even the aforementioned study. The former in no way entails that all aspects of r...

Don't mean to be rude, and jump in between your discussion, but I have a question pertinent to the question you ask at the start of your post here. Is...

Reread my post, friend, I never said but expressly opposed the point God is to blame.

Neither ineffability nor indemonstrability makes a fact any less so, just because of that fact; meaning, a lack or absence of evidence isn’t equivalen...

Sure, of course, it can be maintained that despite if there be evil present in the universe, the creator of the universe, i.e., “God,” is still ominbe...
