I already have explained in normal language. I have explained what ‘intentionality’ means by using ‘mode’. I was just saying that in the same manner w...
It would make sense to question children moe about the meaning and use of words. I think you’d get much done for pre-teens as their language is still ...
I thought you may have meant the ‘worldview’ in terms of adhering to and perpetuating the use of the term by accusation and practice. Anyway, you agre...
I’m still asking what you meant by the phrasing you used. What was you’re intended meaning by saying : My emphasis being in the bold. I never called y...
There was no lack of charity. Merely pointed out where the misinterpretation was and given that another member said the same thing you should reasonab...
Very broadly speaking if we look at history and sexual repression based on ‘right and wrong’ then it could be argued that repressed sexual expression ...
You didn’t notice? Oh ... You have previously stated that calling someone racist means you are racist because you’re perpetuating the term ‘racist’ by...
For me that is a contradiction of terms because ‘thought’ necessarily requires ‘feeling’/‘emotions’. I guess the issue here is more about what you tak...
This is an extremely multilayered question. In short I believe this is exactly the kind of thing Nietzsche was focused on. From my personal perspectiv...
There are people who believe the Earth is flat and that the Earth is 6000 years old. It is perfectly understandable in this regard that there are like...
To add, I think a thorough investigation into the deaf children of Nicaragua would help you define what you mean by ‘evolution of language’. It is lit...
As far as I’m concerned you need to ‘feel’ to be conscious, and you need a body to ‘feel’. Ergo you cannot have a ‘computed consciousness’ and compare...
In my view analogies help bring together sets of ideas. Here you don’t really have any ideas and have just used an analogy to make the loose idea appe...
I think this is clear enough to the OP now. I merely used his own reasoning for a specific example. The conclusion is that we need a term to distingui...
It’s a necessary yet unfortunate, term of accusation that has a place for singling out the kind of persons I portrayed above. You admitted you didn’t ...
There is also a group of people called ‘rapists’ and I hate them too. Even so, you just admitted you’d call me racist even though I didn’t in any way ...
My point was they stored an encyclopedic knowledge equal to, well ... an encyclopedia. Kelly herself didn’t believe them until she tried it for hersel...
But you DO understand that people use the term ‘race’ outside of scientific circles. You don’t have to like it, but they still do. You can even fill i...
I think the point is is that there is a cultural difference that is often strongly associated with physical appearances (not very surprising consideri...
It should be relatively clear from the other thread that when it comes to this topic I lean far more toward a phenomenology investigation so talking a...
I never said you were? I certainly wasn’t suggesting you were calling for outrage. We seem to agree. I admit it’s tough to be charitable with some sta...
Assuming you’re talking about the US here, just because things are ‘better’ doesn’t mean they cannot be better still. I don’t believe it is justifiabl...
I do think it is as simple as I made it out to be in order to have a rational exchange. Just because it is ‘simple’ I didn’t for one second mean to im...
This isn’t as big a problem as some here seem to be making it out to be. The terms are used publicly and in different technical fields of research. Wh...
That’s about as broad and accurate a definition as there can be. The main issue is how we then unpack what this means and what use it is to us to say ...
I admit that the use of ‘regard’ has to be taken in a broad and abstract manner here. I am not talking about my ‘regard’ for an object anymore than I ...
I’m really not sure what you mean here. I just pointed out that ‘existence’ is a ‘mode’ of regard. You seemed to be accusing me of some ‘objective’/‘s...
What are you actually talking about here? Are you talking about the evolution of the brain? We can see that many other animals possess various aspects...
No probs. I’m probably just another idiot who thinks they know more than they do. In my experience that is the general disposition of nearly every hum...
Because phenomenology is concerned with the ‘horizon’ of experience, with ‘intentionality’. By intentionality we’re talking about a ‘mode’ of being. A...
It’s like you read what I wrote with the singular intent to disagree. Yet you agreed and didn’t realise. I plainly said it wasn’t about what exists. I...
What does that mean? ‘Thought and belief’? Go intricate, give me more. I used to say something similar myself, but it’s hardly revealing anything much...
I never said object. I said ‘object’, as in intentionality, ‘conscious of’, not some noumena fancy. ‘Object’ in the sense of this discussion isn’t an ...
It might help if you talk about what constitutes specific experiences. Already mentioned this. For example think about what you can imagine and can’t ...
If you thought I was talking about that you completely missed the point. It’s all too common and precisely the exact thing I wasn’t saying. I am talki...
This, in the sense everyone here seems to be talking, is wrong. To be explicit - I’m sure some folks here are ignoring this because it’s inconvenient ...
This is perhaps a little short sighted as religious institutions have safe guarded many philosophical ideas and helped perpetuate philosophical though...
I think some folks are possibly conflating ‘imagining’ with ‘feeling’. If so perhaps pointing out that you cannot live out - experientially - an old e...
Too much jargon, not enough substance. No one will bother reading this book if it looks anything like this. You seem to have outlined oral tradition a...
Now you’re saying, ‘What if X has no value, can X have value?’ Adding ‘What’ doesn’t change the underlying stance you’ve taken. Just stop. Move on to ...
There are plenty of studies that show ‘reciprocity’ among primates. Fairness is a human extension of this. I wouldn’t suggest that other primates are ...
You just repeated my point. You’ve already decided. I cannot talk you around if you’ve denied the possibility of some murderous individual as having v...
I understand what you’re trying to say here but it’s unworkable. To ignore differences only works from a level playing field. ‘Race’ also goes beyond ...
It literally makes no sense. It’s a contrary statement. Effectively you just asked ‘If X has no value what value does X have?’ ... you don’t need us t...
