Interesting, I think it's a mix. I agree that it's nearly entirely automatic and occurs subconsciously (except in cases of ambiguity -- where there is...
I think it's pretty clear: " it's all essentially a subjective matter and therefore just an arbitrary question of utility as to how we arrange a consi...
Right, everything is dynamic but different things change at different rates. Either way, I should have said -- 'presuming an individual has fixed thei...
How do you define cultural? I feel we're as much 'physio-chemical' as we are 'cultural' as we are 'biological'. The biological aspect involves the act...
I wouldn't say that that's learnt behavior. The values and beliefs are learnt but not the pull towards psychological/behavioral coherence. Practicalit...
But it's not just habits and creative unpredictability. There're values, deeply held beliefs, feelings. Acting / living / habituating oneself in accor...
I like this. I'm weary and skeptical of inner intuitions. They don't all point to the same course of action and sometimes they're in direct conflict. ...
I think what causes an issue is the 'mutual exclusivity' of essences. if something has the essence of 'human' it can't have any other sort of essence....
I guess that's the statement I have an issue with. I think of raw experience as 'overlaid' or bound up with conceptual structures: Again --I think it'...
Okay. Let me know if this clears things up: Presumably, there is a continuous information stream from the surrounding environment to the receptors/sen...
Right, I should have said 'undifferentiated' whole -- merely a whole or a 'thing' or object. But I think you can still apprehend something which is un...
Well I think we do perceive objects, but we can intuit that objects aren't essential, invariant elements of experience. What does seem to be that way ...
Based on the definition, it seems like the opposite: where apperception involves the classing of an object into a learned object category-- understand...
I think it really depends. If that work involves things that sufficiently align with your interests or values then it'd definitely be more enjoyable t...
It seems like there are differences between heuristic decision-making, impulsive-immediate feeling based decision-making, and intuition-based decision...
I think this is akin to asking: after all humans go extinct, is it possible for 'experiencing' at all to come into existence (i.e. would it be possibl...
How do you define 'ways that work'. Can you give an example? So from what I understand you'd say our innate impulses, when sufficiently constrained, c...
Do you accept that there is a noumenon? Yes. I don't believe there could be phenomena without a noumenon. (Phenomena -> Noumenon). Do you think it can...
I think there're two things of issue here. If it is your view that there is no joy in life then that only is your view. The reality of the situation i...
There seems to be a jump here. It's clear that pleasure is pleasurable and pain is painful but what makes that good or bad for me? Would you say this ...
