It has everything to do with the discussion, perhaps you just haven't read enough trip reports yet. You said: "but we have no idea what it could be to...
That is like saying to a biologist, why do you need to prove cells use oxygen for ATP, let's just believe it exist because it's a nice theory. The foc...
It seems peaceful in principle but as I pointed out in my OP and further posts it ends up working for the wrong means and becomes a way for people to ...
hahaha, thank you for you interest in me... I am feel so flattered and it really rubs my ego up the right way. Now I can go about my day feeling as if...
Men are violent? No, people are violent! I was saying that all that the law did in that scenario was change the situation around so that the old lady ...
That is a pretty selfish commodity to have. A another function of the egotism the rots our minds in the present day and age. The need to have the feel...
This outlines superbly my statement in the OP about the problem being with the people persecuted and not the people name calling. I understand what yo...
You have to read on. I said "Likewise, people hide behind political correct etiquette to protect their ego's." THAT is why I gave the ganster/old wome...
lol that vid How is the marriage equality debate in australia relating to The Hidden Psychological Causes of Political Correctness and do you have any...
True, all your comments are true. I guess I must've missed that lol! I was just trying to investigate if there is not a category mistake with My Exper...
So how does one know whether hallucinations are real or not? Or real life for that matter? I never said it gave us info about the nature of existence....
Is that clever? I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays. You can’t go anywhere without meeting clever people. The thing has bec...
Fair enough, but I am saying that there is no "you" or "I" to claim exists. There is an awareness that no ownership can be placed over. I agree with y...
Wow, what a mouthful of sentence that is. Let me try and re-word it to make it smaller and see if I still have the meaning correct. "This approach doe...
Really? so robots can't possess knowledge without being aware? That is not proven yet but forms part of a good argument for https://en.wikipedia.org/w...
Nice post! Are you saying that experience is the context and reality the content or are you saying experience is the content and reality the context? ...
Oh right sorry, I didn't see you where actually asking "what would constitute proof of consciousness" and not " what would be considered Apodictic tru...
Are you saying this because you have no other argument against what I said? This seems like a bit of a non-sequitur... Chicago is larger than Omaha is...
Yes any BAD and UNLEARNED philsophical discussion is bad over dinner... as long as one party is studied in philosophy and the other party is ready to ...
I am just going to swap some words around in that comment to say how flawed it sounds "It's not circular reasoning, it is called absolute religious tr...
I agree with Augustine. If I didn't exist, I could not doubt anything. So in the same way perhaps I am not doubting at all and it just feels like I am...
I already stated that I don't doubt that I have awareness of my experience. Did you miss that? I am saying that I can't prove that my awareness exists...
Sorry I meant abstract information in the sense of inferring from incomplete data. Errr, like they are less likely to say something probably is the ca...
Sorry, why must it exist? And where is your proof that phenomenal thought occurs? Is the proof in the awareness of the thoughts? Because that is what ...
Perhaps you are right. I am just trying to say that it feels like I exist because I feel I am self aware BUT trying to prove I exist just by the fact ...
Not at all. I was using it as a metaphor for how no one can "feel" the truth of what consciousness/self-awareness is and how we are all groping about ...
I know but I was saying "I think, therefore I am" is not quite correct because you don't have to think in order for you to be aware of your own existi...
Yes but that is a faulty second premise and makes it unsound but still valid. I am trying to say that you can't prove that you aware by the fact that ...
That is what makes it so irksome. Because it seems to appeal to common sense so much to say you exist but the fact is, as you say, there is no you tha...
That is a good point, but slightly misunderstood. I am trying to prove my bodily mechanisms exist. I can't prove they exist just by the fact that they...
But you are not aware of it, so therefor "you" don't exist but the body you inhabit does. I would go further in saying if you are not aware of the bod...
That is perfectly sound and valid but it has nothing to do with my OP. My OP assumes this already and is dealing with how one can prove he exists apri...
I agree, I have never met an outward and friendly engineer. They always seem stuffy, too centred on details and facts and not able to deal with abstra...
That says absolutely nothing in regard to my original comment which was that the location of Qualia is needed for proof that someone is ACTUALLY FEELI...
You don't understand what I am saying. Try to think about this a bit deeper and more intuitively. Your experience exists somewhere. It is arrising fro...
Where does this emergent property exist though? It is running on the brain, but it's existence is not to be found in there. Like a projector projectin...
