Yeah, but since that's not a sufficient reason to accept all matters which seem obvious prima facie, it hardly stands alone without further justificat...
Then why bring it up? The second is not just a simile for the first. There's a world of difference between merely asserting a 'phenomenological layer'...
Yeah. It was a great idea for a thread, and, Dennett's frequent invocation of neuroscientific principles (especially section 5), justifies the introdu...
I've already been through this with @"schopenhauer1" in a previous thread. He can give no answer as to why avoiding the imposition of inconvenience an...
Thus only works as an argument if you assume the only consequence of 'complexity', as you diplomatically put it, is negative side effects. It's not. S...
How does the number of Covid deaths impact on the likely efficacy of the vaccine as a means of reducing them (together with collateral deaths from pan...
No. According to the NYT who broke the story... They outright hid and lied about a negative trial to maintain sales, and it's absolutely not a one off...
The context of 'effect' was the global decease in deaths due to the pandemic and it's collateral damage. Obviously I didn't mean to claim that it woul...
Edited I could list the full rap sheet, but it's common knowledge which has already been publicly written about at great length, there's little point ...
Pfizer. 2004 Cereblex, trials showed evidence of elevated risk of heart problems and they withheld them. $894 million in lawsuits. Didn't even break t...
Well, it didn't stop them with Neurontin, Genotropin, Bextra, Detrol, Lipitor, or Rapamune...all of which were proven to have been based on false info...
Ah! This would be the same FDA whose paid off officials continued to approve opiods despite clear evidence of the harm they were doing and that they w...
Yep. It's right there in black and white in the company's articles of association. Their objective is to make a profit for their shareholders. Why wou...
Let's have a look at the mRNA trial. Take Moderna's mRNA-1273. Did the trial include children and adolescents? No. Did the trial check for ADE reactio...
No, my point was firstly, that a rushed vaccine based on new technology may be either falsely effective, have unexpected side effects (already we're g...
Thar's a definition I think works very well, but that all sounds behavioural to me. Sure, they''ll be psychological consequences, even causes (of the ...
Taking the first half 'psychological'... If you had never met any other people, would you still identity as a man, and if so, how would you know what ...
People with strongly individualist, neo-liberal ethics don't want the human race to continue after they're gone. Are we really surprised at all by thi...
The Lancet article was not referring to the US, so no. But for countries like India, I see no reason to disbelieve an article suggesting as such in su...
Yes, so long as we see 'sufficiently' as culturally mediated. I think interoception features are no different to perception features (which is the mot...
Probably my bad. Yes, I do agree. In a sense, although language affect the two stream disproportionately. People with certain types of aphasia have as...
I'm just going to answer you all at once because you're all saying the same thing "because I feel angry, anger must be a thing (the thing I feel)" How...
Yep, that's it. Yeah, I'd agree there and I think it's an important distinction because values of hidden states do more than just work for object reco...
I'm going to try and explain the bigger picture which might answer the questions in your subsequent posts. If I can borrow from fdrake's post to start...
No one's denying any of that from a phenomenological perspective. It's just that from a process perspective some of those accounts are not as we think...
How could you possibly consider citing an article from The Lancet warning of nearly half a million deaths from TB as a result of Covid strategies whil...
Because brains are just lumps of biological matter with electrical and chemical activity. Just looking at it isn't going to tell us what any of it's d...
Methodologically, yes. I wouldn't have put it that way (I don't literally agree with every word he says, of course), but broadly speaking yes. In psyc...
I don't know what to say. We could trade Anil Seth quotes all day. I've read most of his papers (certainly the Sackler lab work, anyway). I've been to...
I haven't had a rollercoaster ride, but I know what one is. I can use the term correctly. I don't see how you can justify a difference with 'fear'. Wh...
What is preventing someone with urbach-wiethe disease (passing over the complications in simply correlating the condition with a lack of ability to fe...
Thanks. That pretty much ties in with my understanding of Seth's position from his papers. The aspects I don't see how you're attributing are things l...
That's what being scared is, not what it's like. It's not the mental state, it's the inability to report on working memory, which you'd just said was ...
What would an answer to this question even be? As far as I can tell it doesn't make any sense at all. If I ask "what the the rollercoaster like? " you...
You'll have to quote him (or we'll just agree to differ), it's not the impression I get from either that podcast, nor his other lectures, nor his pape...
The reporting practice was exactly as stated in the article. I don't understand how much more clear that can be. It says they used to count anyone who...
Because your own ad hoc, single person sample is next to useless as a description of how people learn to use terms. I thought you might have, you know...
Yes. Why would you just prima facie disbelieve this? He's provided sources, and the was good reason to, as John Newton at PHE said Since then changes ...
Cool, that makes sense. We have common ground here. I see what you mean here. If at any given time the only variable that really is 'varying' in the s...
And you think those taking an alternative position to you don't think they're being entirely logically consistent? So you think their position has log...
Ok. Everyone hang their gloves up, fight's over. Someone thinks it's silly, so that's settled the matter to everyone's satisfaction... ...but hang on,...
Actually he does (to an extent). I'm fairly certain he used almost those exact words in a lecture. I'll see if I can find something more concrete for ...
