Yes, it's like a pointer or flag, which is an additional fact. It could point to other experience, but it doesn't, because it only points to one, in t...
With all due respect, I don't see how you can argue with the axiom that you yourself exist. Especially, since everything you know starts with "You". I...
Which part do you not agree with? 1) That we all live in the actual real world. 2) That we can tell what the current experience is, because guess what...
The truth criteria should be logical consistency, which is the same in both the realist and irrealist understanding of the world, as well as the assum...
Here's another way to put it, why there is a contradiction. We all agree that we live in one world, which is the actual world. In this actual world, t...
Well, something can either exist in relation to the Window, or independent of it. In the previous post, I covered the case of independence. This leave...
The only axiom I make use of is the fact that I exist. This existence is what I call Window. The property of this existence is first person perspectiv...
Yes, I agree with that. However, my concern is why it's one particular inner phenomenon is playing in the Window, how was that selected, if there were...
You are correct stating that "You" and "The World" are interlinked. There is no independent "The World" without "You", and vice versa. The contradicti...
You are interpreting this way, because the "You" term is overloaded, just like "first person perspective". These can mean on the one hand something th...
This is a fair point you raise, my mistake leads to a circular argument! I'm relativizing "You" to "Your World", which defeats the purpose of "You" in...
I mean, there can be multiple heres and nows, but still the fact is that I'm only seeing one of them, and how come it's this one if they are all here ...
This deals with the physical world and its workings. I also include subjective experiences in this realm, although they are traditionally not part of ...
If I was both Alice and Bob, then it is Scenario 3, you're talking about. The point I want to state is that I want to affirm the existence of this fac...
I see you are talking about relatives, meaning things are relational to one another. However, I argue that in the world, the You is an absolute global...
Even though the java programming language can be compiled to run on any computer, it is an additional fact of the world that which specific computer i...
Whether it is a fact or not of the world is very simple. I exist as Me. Everything is viewed from my perspective. This happens to be at a location of ...
Your mistake is that you are abstracting away the world, rather than seeing it exactly as it is. In your reality, indeed other perspectives are not fi...
In my view, reducing the issue to mere play of words, ignores a fundamental fact of reality, which is that you are observing the world as a "You". It ...
Thanks for linking your post. Indeed, you touch upon a very similar issue I describe here, and I don't have a solution either. However, in my post, I ...
There are two points. First you need to accept that You is singular. Second, that You is absolute. "I am Esse" is not the same statement as "You" is E...
In the world that you live in, "You" is indeed an absolute global fact. Wouldn't you agree that you can unequivocally tell who the "You" is? Ask yours...
Why is it a false statement to say that there is a difference in state of the world between being Alice and being Bob, even though Alice's and Bob's e...
The puzzle contains a total description of the world, which includes both indexical and non-indexical facts about it. In fact, I argue that the You is...
No, it's not a fifth person. It is merely a reference point, or pointer, i.e. a window of first person perspective. It is not a physical being, soul o...
You is not meant to be a spirit or soul, but more like a reference point, or pointer, i.e. a window of first person perspective. It is not physical, b...
Yes, you are correct. There is a difference between Alice and being Alice. The puzzle attempts to identify what this difference is. On the one hand it...
Here I try to derive the logical contradiction which arises from the puzzle. 1. In both scenarios we have a "You". I argue that this "You" is a necess...
Let me illustrate the contradictory nature of this koan. As per previous suggestions, let's say we add Jane to the room. In addition, let's define I a...
it looks like you're incapable of forming a coherent argument other than to state that it's all nonsense without any support. I guess case is closed. ...
The "Who" is a "What", because it exists. If it wasn't a What, then what is it? In fact, the Who is Me. It is not my thoughts or perception but the Fa...
Dear people who replied. It appears to me that most people have not understood the question properly. It would be important to understand it because i...
That's very interesting that each time an event is created, information is lost while passing down to our universe. However, I argue that in this exte...
The question of identity assignment is not possible to answer using a logical framework. The question is that one day I wake up in the world, and I be...
That's correct. "this" implies an injection of information into the system, the source of which can be traced back to a separate entity, in this case ...
I believe information is fundamental element. It interacts with the physical. Example: > Tell someone to go to the door. They will listen and go there...
Intelligence must be a component of the universe because 1) intelligence exists 2) there is nothing apart from the universe. They way I see it is inte...
Having no such information would entail me existing in some kind of weird superposition of all 3 choices. Like being God, Peter and bizso09 at the sam...
In my view, the whole thing, the world, and the perspective, just spontaneously jumps into existence out of nothing. I don't know how I got here, all ...
I never conflated "me" and "you". Every statement correctly describes the world in its own right. It is impossible to make a statement without includi...
Observation is not lack of knowledge. It's the possibility of any information flow whatsoever. Here's some more: You say: K. There is one Me L. In a w...
Ultimately, all reasoning is de se. Even for the de re sentence "Peter wants to get elected", the complete sentence is "I believe that Peter wants to ...
Well, to be honest, I think nobody really knows how the world works, so if you're honest with yourself, you can admit it too. Let's go back to the ori...
