If there is a cost to building them. But the whole point of epiphenomena is that they’re costless. And not impactful. At best you mean evolutionarily....
How come I’m on every AN thread then? If you wanna play the victim go right ahead. It isn’t personal. I replied to your OP because I found it interest...
No. Why would I read a random opinion article that does something as ridiculous as treat people as an agenda of productivity. “We should have more kid...
Sigh. You know what you’re right. You keep making the same argument, and you don’t want to hear the same response. Ok have fun in your echo chamber. A...
Who said that? Keyword: Seems These 2: I'd say it was just about on the radar as it is now, in the sense that the "percentage of antinatalists" hasn't...
“Know” has more uses than “Justified true belief”. For instance “Know programming”. Which means be competent at it. I meant it in the colloquial sense...
Ok. And he doesn’t know what red is. Because he hasn’t experienced anything within the range. In the same way that Unenlightened’s friend can go on wi...
You mean, continuous as in it is the same kind of stuff as rocks? I thought you meant it in the sense that we have an integrated “seamless” experience...
Or of the agenda of AN. There is nothing self justifying of any agenda. It won’t be hashed out because the nays will die out much faster than the yays...
It’s brown. But I can’t get the image out of my mind of you responding with an entire essay about how there is no “one experience of brown” when asked...
Well how come a mind can move an arm but can’t move anything outside of the body? So there is some limit here. How does that work? I know Olivier isn’...
Then antinatalism is also political. Having agendas isn’t inherently bad. It depends on the agenda. It couldn’t. The society that has people shun the ...
Good enough. Not exactly sure what you mean here but it has "feeling" in it so that will do. Everyone who has tried to define qualia or experience has...
Then it is the same as Unenlightened's question: "What is does red look like". I can't answer that. Not for lack of properties but for an inability to...
I apologize, I truly don't mean to be. Honestly. You started the thread! If you make the same arguments of course I'm going to give the same reply! So...
Well said. I think the whole determinism indeterminism debate is a red herring. That’s not actually what people care about when they think of freedom ...
You argue the same thing you get the same reply. Why are you surprised? Not one that I’d find convincing. If I could think of an argument that could c...
Not trying to rehash. Just pointing out that you have an assumption that I don’t think many share behind what you’re saying. It’s not objectively the ...
I'm sorry but this legitimately read like word salad. I have no clue what you're saying. Not just the cone cells. The cone cells and the glasses and t...
The content is changed. The use (structure) is preserved. I didn't. I even gave an example. Color inverting glasses. Color inverting glasses would be ...
False. The content can be derived from something else. As long as the structure is the same then it is "of red". The structure is decided by activity ...
Those are the same thing. As in, the objects that fit the linguistic definition are exactly the objects that fit the neurological definition. The thin...
You asked why it's the default not why it's justified. It's the default because it is intuitive and the majority believe it. And so naturally they wil...
Well first off, most people like doing this. And second: For these reasons: That's justification #1. There are plenty of others that people use. Objec...
Because those who didn't create them died out. And the ones that are left were the ones that felt the need to create such arrangements. So their child...
And indeterminism makes enormous claims. Like the idea that things can happen for no reason. What is or isn’t a “gigantic claim” is a matter of person...
Let's start over. I don't understand what you're not getting. Or what I'm not getting. First, let's establish whether or not people having different c...
And this happens every time you see a red object correct? So the physical conditions are the same? So shouldn't the epiphenomena be the same? In other...
It can't be defined by being caused by wavelengths of light alone. What makes you think there needs to be a physical connection for a physical differe...
So you don't actually think it's the case. Let me follow that line of thinking. By your estimation the commonality between things we call "red" is pur...
But a second ago when I asked you whether or not there is something common between experiences of red you replied with a staunch “No”. So what happene...
That’s not what I said. You know what each color word means. You know what “blue” and “red” and “purple”.... mean. You are shown a new object. How do ...
False. Or it could only feel that way while not being a decision at all. That is the matter in question in this thread. Repeatedly saying “it is a cho...
“It feels that way therefore it must be that way” There is plenty of substantiation for it. Physics for one is deterministic. Or can be at least Maybe...
When have I said that? I don’t know if the world is deterministic or not. Again, unsubstantiated claims and oversimplification. And in either case, wh...
Evidence? It could just be that the insight is a result of atoms bumping into each other. As usual you make unsubstantiated claims. You’ve been doing ...
So the requirements seem to be: Some randomness + deliberation + decision is being made by the self (whatever that is) Well, we can get deliberation o...
And new insight does not classify as “outcome”? Outcome of years of research and dedication maybe? Why do you think so? I certainly don’t think so. Do...
I usually hear it the other way around. That the mental is non physical. Physical is whatever physicists study. People don’t want to associate with th...
