Absolutely. It's certainly an interesting take, I'm just not sure I fully follow how you're getting there but... This sounds like exactly what I mean ...
None whatsoever. And if I did (was the sort of person who cared what flag flew over my parliament) I would be a monster to expect thousands of people ...
The subject was people acting as a mass (an electorate, or a nation) these make changes via instructing people. The government does not simply will a ...
I don't follow. It seems the strength of regulation isn't at issue so much as the content. If one regulates, say, incitement to violence, one can do s...
Before I get into the substance of what you've replied here, I need to clarify something at the outset. Are you here posting what you conclude must ta...
Nope. Indeed it doesn't. It is, yes. That's right.. Other irrelevant facts about my post are that it contained 114 words and doesn't once use the lett...
I may, but only 'deadly' in the sense that further expansion may lead to more war. Since the ;deadly' we'd be avoiding by concession is also war, I ca...
But what could possibly constitute such a 'focus'? Things appear to us as they appear to us. If you look harder you don't get to some 'more real' vers...
Doesn't make any sense. Since 'Ukrainian' is not a natural kind, it's not a subspecies, or a genetic type, Ukrainians will always be controlled by Ukr...
The problem is that if I cannot communicate to others in a democracy, that is an absolute. I cannot do it. Propaganda is not an absolute. One person's...
I think this seems similar to... But I don't see how either are more than... --- If I claim "I seem to have a memory of my childhood house" it doesn't...
But it's not really about correspondence with an image you already have because it's the same spelling no matter what font it's written in. It's simpl...
It didn't ought. I don't think the question of who governs what territory is a moral one, any more than what hat I ought wear today is a moral questio...
Yeah, could do. We talk about neural nets as having likelihoods of leading to certain reported mental events (or behaviours) because they're so prone ...
So now Russia aren't a threat to the West, and Putin is a master strategist who doesn't make massive blunders? I wish you guys would get your story st...
It has been looked at just how likely it is. By experts in their field (as cited previously) and by, for example, @"boethius" above. They reach differ...
You mean like 'pictures in the mind'? It's complicated (isn't it always?). I certainly seems as though the parts of the brain involved in creating men...
I like this. If I understand correctly, you're expressing a multiple-model interpretation as being a synthesis of all possible models (an exclusion of...
No. No. The sensory experience at (2) is constructed from words and the concepts they define. That's just episodic memory, not semantic memory, and it...
Perhaps numbers were a bad example afterall, being famously infinite, and here I'm trying to give an example of a finite data set. In my example, one ...
Well, they are, in that I experience them in a lab, but they're not in this narrative - the one we're talking about here where we're discussing how ex...
I'm still not following how you've jumped to 'awareness'. Why does the dog need to be 'aware' of bones and biscuits in order for the category {stuff t...
People disagreeing with you doesn't make them illogical and delusional. I've shown quite clearly that normal intelligent and informed people think tha...
I don't follow how you're making the jump from the particulars constituting concepts to 'experiences'. Why must the particulars be experiences? Say th...
Yes. So the problem I saw here was that violating international law is not in defiance of "the West/NATO/US" because "the West/NATO/US" have little re...
OK. So these sources who argue... ...what efforts did you take to 'triangulate' their pronouncements with those of experts offering contrary views. Ta...
Yeah, we've just got through demonstrating that to be bullshit. You can't provide a consistent criteria you use to judge who to trust. You dismissed R...
That's a restatement of what the narrative is, not an explanation of why you choose to believe it. Also, Ukraine is not a victim. That's a category er...
Probably, from past experience, when pushed you'll end up claiming it only says that Russia exists, or that people sometimes think before they act. Yo...
This is interesting. I'm not sure quite how best to answer using the terms you're using. But I'll have a go. The way I see the relation between extern...
I don't know anything about canine psychology, but if it works anything like human psychology, the association of a word (or any noise at all) with an...
I'm curious then as to why... Perhaps you could explain the origin of Putin's concern when, as of 2020, more than half of those leaving Ukraine chose ...
Possibly, not always. Many of the issues are the US's failure to ratify laws others have taken on. So? So? Back to the same transparent strategy you u...
Absolutely. I'm ultimately a realist, which means, for me, the social constructs aren't just random, they are constrained by the external states they ...
I'm not sure I fully understand what this means, but why would you think there'd be a lack of internal disparity. We have many different inputs, many ...
So? And? None of this nonsensical verbiage alleviates your error. You said that... How is it a problem that Russia are violating international law, wh...
How did you identify that the sensation was a 'colour sensation'? I don't think anyone 'doesn't have experiences'. I said earlier that experiences are...
So are you prepared to say plants have experiences? I can get a spectrometer to respond one way to green light and another to red. Did the spectromete...
So has this been done? It doesn't seem much of a point to say that an experiment could show what you believe to be the case. As I said before. Plants ...
So 'red' is a social construct. From where do we learn that the wine and the post box are of similar enough colour for the experience they produce to ...
