That's a hard question to answer. I suppose it's partly because I'm a panpsychist, and I think that an experience happens when something undergoes a c...

Non-sequitur EDIT: pointing out that emergence occurs under one set of circumstances says nothing about whether or not it occurs in some other set of ...
For me, a thing only perceives modifications of itself. And as the self is self-identical, there is no intermediary. If a bomb goes off two feet away ...
For perception to occur at all, something direct has to happen somewhere, otherwise we get an infinity of intermediaries, no? I think that's what @"NO...
Indeed, it needs an unintuitive reinterpretation of omnibenevolence. I've never really thought of that as one of the traditional omnis anyway. There a...
Sure, although adopting this horn of the dilemma does not commit us to DCT. DCT says that what God wills is Good. Period (full stop). One could, inste...
Very nice clear OP. It does assume that one horn of the Euthyphro dilemma is accepted, that God wills what is good, because it is good. That's an assu...
Thanks, I should get into the habit of using that. Of course I believe that you think that @"Banno" understands the problem. It's just not evident to ...
In the sense of asleep or under anaesthetic, yes. What's happening there is that bert1 as a coherent subject ceases to exist. It's not that bert1 rema...
I've offered synonyms. That qualifies as a definition. I have invited you to be aware of your awareness, which you haven't yet done. If you had, that ...
Indeed. Banno insists the Glagow coma scale is the only definition. Or at least all definitions are really aspects of one sense of consciusness, and t...
Sure, that';s true with things except consciousness. To put it in Cartesian terms, it is coherent to doubt the existence of pixies, God and phlogiston...
No particularly, I was just trying to relate the words 'consciousness' and 'experience' in a sentence such that they are linked in meaning, which I th...
That's a good question. Ether was proposed to solve a problem, namely a medium to carry electromagnetic radiation, or something. Humours were a way of...
What we have is different theories. I'm a panpsychist. You, at various times have been a functionalist, enactivist, probably one or two other things I...
No. It's a perfectly simple question. If you have the same concept I have, even if you think it's incoherent or whatever, you should be able to explai...
I'm saying, reluctantly, that you lack the concept of awareness. But I don't know this for sure. I think you are aware. You both seem to avoid the con...
Equivalently: - sentience - the capacity to feel - the capacity to know - that in X whereby there is 'something it is like' to be X These are all abig...
That's great! So what is it about the neuronal models that explain how it is that I feel like I'm having an experience, when I'm not? Why can't all th...
OK, so this clearly separates two concepts of consciousness. One in which experience is not part of the concept. One in which it is. One way to solve ...
Sure, but it's the milliseconds after that is relevant. Maybe I didn't have an experience three milliseconds ago, but I am now. I may have been a zomb...
This is really interesting. Could you flesh out what this 'post hoc' rationalisation is entailed by the word 'experience'? You clearly think that sayi...
That's not what I intend to claim. My claim is (I allege) theory-neutral. It may be that experiences just are neuronal activity, or whatever. But for ...
