I think a version of this is probably the case. We evolved from animals that survived well using group cooperation and during extreme environments ani...

I would agree that a rigorous definition or rejection of one has no bearing on the use of know in this context. I'd also note that people don't tell e...

Life is essentially meaningless on a physical level. Giving meaning to it seems to be the only reason we are in this eddy of entropy; having exterior ...

How do you go about conceiving infinity? If infinity doesn't exist(never conceived to completion), then God can be less than infinity and exist.

It is certainly an awkward phrase, but people rhetorically ask how/why something would come from nothing. Which I think is in the process of being ans...

It seems like mechanical questions are better suited to 'how'. How implies a terminating point into the state of affairs or corresponding facts that a...

Yes, we covered the contradictions which you didn't find compelling. So, I was at least trying to understand the matter from your point of view. But, ...

It's contradictory to state the emergence of race as natural and then recombination as unnatural. If a logical error is worthwhile. Otherwise, it's a ...

There might be a hair to split between what is conceived versus what is realized or actual. But, I would approach it as God must be slightly less than...

Frankly, I'm a bit neutral. It sounds like it intends to be self-evident much like the other premise. Are you asking if I'm hearing something I must b...

I'm not being tedious. I thought something was hiding behind your choice to select 'not unguided' versus 'guided'. Deciding this is the point at which...

Child In Addendum: It's never true in a superposition. If a thing is in all states it can't be p v ~p Thanks for all the commentary, I intend to make ...

It's a reliable strategy. It cuts down on people having their humors adjusted by leeches.

No, as in imprecise or conceptually different? Why insist on calling something by a negated state? Not Unguided means guided, correct? It comes across...

I would be willing to suppose that it is the same outside of mathematics; that the termination of Why? is most likely an unspoken assumption like real...

In the case of human expression it seems leaving out why would miss most of the contextual information surrounding an event like a protest isn't expla...

In order to raise venture capital.

Like anything, figure the resources and labor hours plus the time value of money until completion. I could cost out what it would take to create a for...

Is that analogous to being unable to answer the question "Are you sleeping" in the affirmative? It's less clear how this informs one about the nature ...

To say we can give a physical account of what took place but we can't completely explain the outcome when others were possible?

Intuitively, saying something 'just is' and could not have been otherwise seems problematic. Is it a matter of perspective relative to time?

Claiming unawareness is nonsensical because it entails awareness. If awareness is the only possible state of affairs one may claim then evolution has ...

Genuinely, never knew this; So, Why? is like a human halting problem. What if we complicated it to every question being; "Why and Why not otherwise?".

Hitting a law of thought does please the intuition. It is what it is; but if that is the answer to every why then meaning or reason is something we im...

In a healthy adult I think that is certainly the case. When an individual is traumatized though some of the "bridges" become difficult to access and c...

Why?

Y type of awareness = "none of us are 'perceiving' reality at all." You describe the counter to JTB and then toss in the qualifier "guided/unguided" a...

Evolution was guided because I have an X type of awareness instead of a Y type of awareness. In the structure of a filibuster in the key of E.

I'll count it. Not ideal, but it is a solution. Well played.

I can see two sides to it depending on some details. There is the issue of hopelessness; the neglect of physical and emotional needs. On the other han...

Right, and if..then statements requires a connection between two things that are not satisfied by an 'or'. One has to be true and it isn't. I can't ma...

Right, but no one accused you of that; your first premise which is...1. If our faculties of awareness are wholly the product of unguided evolutionary ...

If X, then Y If X , then (empty set), then Y Not better.

I don't speak in double negatives.

If X, then Y If X, Not Y, Then Y You: I know the outcome of guided evolution is X You: So, the outcome of unguided evolution is Y Me: So you know the ...

Is this just petty rhetoric? The notion there is a religious alignment that makes people "happy" under life and death circumstances is absurd.

The above represents the requested contradiction. Feel free to make philosophical noises at it.

Yes, in my amateur experience you can separate the mind by the stages of brain evolution. So, the reptilian mind that concentrates on safety and resou...

What is the secret to being happy in a foxhole? Probably, align your expectations with some one who is in a foxhole.

Are we trying to fix philosophy? I thought this was just for complaining. I would submit we ought start by eliminating the infinite regresses, startin...

I quoted you contradicting yourself at your request, so that would be the The over arching point is probably that your conclusion could be right in th...

Your reference is a subset of people presenting with schizophrenia. Is this confirmation bias or something else?

You know that's in one person nearly 30 years ago?

If I thought this was a fact it would probably have an effect on my conclusions. Do you mean to say there is no evidence that you personally acknowled...

Ok, we can agree on that much that wanting others to suffer is morally wrong. Do you acknowledge that transgender folk alleviate their own suffering b...

Saying "I don't know what your talking about" is an evasive dismissal; instead of accusing you of this crime I gave you the benefit of the doubt. Your...

If you don't know what words mean then you are never wrong I suppose.

Yes it does. You state 1 type of evolution results in 1 type of awareness. It is the entire cornerstone of your position. Objection: You suppose 2 typ...
