Prove, as I've come to know it it is a series of sensual experiences, ideas, or concepts that are taken initially in separateness and then implied as ...

Couldn't the same example hold true for court cases, individuals suffering persecution, authoritarian governments, etc? I put it in mathematical terms...

Interesting, so you're saying that inclination should play a major role in the decision. Whittling it down further, I suppose the main question could ...

In response, mostly lower case. The word 'duty' being taken to mean not solely as in social duty, but also duty to oneself. If the moment escapes me w...

I suppose we ought to differentiate a model that works on the basis of pure logic, and one that is built upon a narrative that tries to offer an expla...

Certainly there is an element of losing one's self or losing identity in attempting to define an individual existence according to their place in a ty...

Thanks for the response. I didn't quite understand what you meant by this, as I haven't really ever heard anything in Freud's work to suggest that sub...

When I read 'G-d-given rights,' I'm inclined to read it as men are a creation of G-d and they have rights. That is, including with it an idea that in ...

Could you rephrase that? I'm not sure what you're getting at.

I agree partly, but if power were the only determining factor regarding rights validity, then why wouldn't a monarchy be the best choice? Concentratin...

I think you’re onto something with this. What the artist creates is not art proper, but, to paraphrase Kant, the arts in traditional western thought d...

If that's true then we should look to AI software, it would allow us to comprehend art better than our selves alone because it can better make use of ...

The idea that "Art work is information about the artist’s consciousness," is sort of difficult for me to accept without qualification. If this were tr...

Thanks for posting this it is very interesting. I read something from the author St. Augustine about the word 'expression' that stuck with me and it i...

A wonderful idea juxtaposes two great things obsolete from the past apes and typewriters. But how do you cat by author?

True, being a human god would be boring, and there would be self-confidence issues b/c half of us wouldn't believe in ourselves.

Yes no what you’re saying makes total sense, our experience of time is certainly in part derived from such an external phenomena that relates to chang...

Does it then follow that time is fully encapsulated in the word ‘Entropy’? Surely not, since time is thought by some to be a partially external, part ...

It’s very late here and I can’t sleep so this is bound to make less sense as we go. But it absolutely makes sense it’s not evolving from cells that’s ...

Suppose it’s not a proposition, but a social ideology to have these types of thoughts. That random formation of cells led to the creation of life and ...

Nice example. So what about processes that are more or less random on a microscopic level but contribute to macroscopic effects. From this idea one mi...

OK so what is your sense of humanity, something beyond pure reason? So it is transcendental is it not? Forget the physical law part, it transcends phy...

'Supernatural physical laws' was a way of saying we are appealing to intuitions that are beyond our minds current ways of knowing and its logical proc...

When we apply a force to something, it moves, and it moves in a reproducible way. Like harmonic motion, or something that repeats over and over. It fu...

OK well just for arguments sake let us both be irreligious people, if someone were to ask 'why should I stay at home during Coronavirus while I'm sick...

Well in Aristotle's time, they had 'the Gods,' or what is virtuous is something beyond our individual scope, or a way of seeing things different from ...

OK it will be multiple sentences but here it goes, We have inescapable bias in thinking towards what exists and is available to our senses. In a perso...

Let me clarify, by 'different order' it sounds silly but it does not only refer to a separateness of mysteries of religion or incomprehensible things....

When I say 'time' I am only appealing to your idea of time, whatever that may be. For the purposes here, time is just the usual axiom meant as a serie...

How do you mean, that discussing the idea of time is irrelevant, or that we won’t agree on the intuitions the word brings to both our minds and thereb...

I'm both glad and unhappy you brought Kant up, as it goes back to already expounded arguments from his work. It seems to be that it often goes in the ...

Thanks Tim, yes your translation makes sense. Where this became a problem for me was the antagonism between practicality and skepticism. It actually m...

Thanks Thomasina, this is nice. Thanks for the link.

Cabbage, let me furnish one more example and that's it. Take the occurrence of white rappers. When white rappers came onto the scene via House of Pain...

It’s in the right ball park. Unfortunately, in my view there are always challenges to discussing these sorts of things because the language used infer...

It seems like your answer is right but the reasoning of your arguement isn’t totally firm. It goes a) fiddling, mixing, fitting are behaviours observe...

The point is that the thing you’re doing when you create or be creative is something, the same way we consider our thoughts to be something. If it wer...

Don’t remeber saying anything about liking the music could you find a quote?

Why would they make an album I wouldn’t like?

Why would it matter to anyone but myself? If there were nobody to measure it’s probability or allow it to affect the outcome, it would have the same m...

Yes. I might and that might has some significance aside from my desires and those of the creator.

maybe an example may help? I visit a music festival and purchase a vinyl disc. This musician might take this as a symbol that this type of music has p...

Sorry at this point if it sounds disorganized. But I’m referring to the contract not at the social level but at the individual. It is the disassociate...

The receiver of said creative product comes to be blindsided by their social contract with the creator, who no longer has interest in upholding their ...

That may be your observation but you must admit there have been some changes. I can only appeal to common experience here.

It’s entirely possible for me as a creator to endow an artwork or software program with creativity and exhibit it to an audience without anyone’s assi...

Don’t you think that a massive coorporation that makes money off artists caught in this cycle of despair would have interests in preserving it in such...

Yes I also see things the same way, but I get the feeling that it’s like playing ping pong in a tennis court. I don’t see how with such a mass of semi...

Yes it feels as though if it were only a set of in-built drives, we’d simply be following directives of our instincts like a bird building it’s nest. ...

There was no supposition that something was wrong intended, it just seems like lots and lots of work is being produced and received by the public and ...
