There isn’t any. Believe it or not, it’s what I’ve been saying all along. Your bit on CNS cells just is the brain narrating itself, or to itself, in t...
Afterthought regarding your musings and Cantor. Brain mechanism narratives: both inconsistent and incomplete. Inconsistent because it operates under t...
Perfect sense. Brain system does its narratives of mental events, none of which is the mental event of “experience”, yet one of its mental events is t...
Crap. Guess I wasn’t clear enough. I intended in ’s comment that the speaker is the narrator recounting some experience, but for ’s rebuttal, I intend...
You’re both right, but approaching “narrative” from differing perspectives. In the first, the narrative is from the perspective of recounting, which n...
The original topic has for its subject external objects perfectly narrated (described/explained/viewed/comprehended). Responses to you, now, must addr...
If an ultimate narrative, wouldn’t it be complete? If so, an ultimate narrative cannot be consistent. But there’s nothing in a complete narrative that...
….so long as I don’t contradict myself. Cool as hell of you to remember that. As for its relation to social constructs, asking you to explain that wou...
Interesting synopsis. So the child learning. Is it his teacher/parent/sandbox buddy that puts “red” on his shelf? If the sociological theme for the gr...
C’mon, man. …..and when we accept the natural limitations of a given system, we don’t need to lament what it can’t do. ….but can never evolve out of t...
On inconsistency: It may be the case I should have been more attentive to the clarity of my writing, or, it may be the case you should have been more ...
Yes. Validity of the notion, not the conception itself. Point being, the notion of impossibility carries the exact same implication as the notion of i...
Yep, and overstepping those limits determines the extend of subterfuge….self-deception….and recognizing them prevents it. ———- We’ve already agreed it...
Yes, just as we do for every single word ever. Which leads inevitably to….under what conditions is it impossible for a word to be invented, such that ...
I’m gathering that’s the consensus opinion, yes. Just seems rather silly to overburden what was already impossible, with another word that doesn’t cha...
To your personal subjectivity, your experience is unrelatable to me. But you’re not relating an experience, you’re relating a certain understanding of...
Understood, and that’s the common argument, yes. The counterargument is that feelings per se are not cognitions, hence that part of understanding from...
All well-said. Do we….or do we not….still need to stipulate the criteria for determining how the unknowable isn’t a mere subterfuge? Seems like that w...
Ok…..need the rest of the paragraph to unpack this. Sure there’s a difference, but there’s nothing ineffable about it. The word representing a univers...
Does it not follow, if all that’s needed is sufficient context, rather than entire context, that the claim “ineffable” is invalid? If it is the case t...
Well enough to make the list of only three choices. I’d say he still doing quite well. Also, depends on which main question is asked about. For instan...
Agreed. I’d go so far as to say the origin of meaning is exclusively private, even by extension over a domain of congruent communities. Words merely r...
Yes. Can we say y is merely the necessary condition for x? If there’s going to be an x, there must first be a y? Agreed. Reason is like that, intrinsi...
I’d agree modal categories share the relationship of time with each other, but that’s the extent of my agreement so far. Mostly because I don’t consid...
That’s fine, although I myself see your distinction as exchanging category for faculty, but to each theory its own definitions, right? ———— Cool. ————...
That would be interesting. What does a propositional account of such axiom look like? In a tripartite logical human cognitive system, the categories a...
Perhaps, but in order to have accomplished such a feat, pursuant to the query in the OP, logically consistent refutation of CPR B288 should be present...
Cool as hell, ain’t it? One of several of those abstract conceptions talked about all the time, a veritable plethora of theories fall apart without th...
It’s easy enough to understand, just not easy to accept. Superficially, his account works well enough; it does seem like the dog we see here and now i...
I think, sure. Add nails to a bucket; wait a few minutes, add some more. As far as the bucket is concerned, the second batch is a bunch of new nails. ...
In skepticism regarding the senses, “new” is used once….. “…. I shut my eyes, and afterwards open them; and find the new perceptions to resemble perfe...
Separating this….what? Introduction of a new object? Time itself is continuous, so, no, there is no way to introduce a new object that doesn’t occur s...
Even from a Hume-ian point of view, in which a perception is that which is given to the mind, in this case as impression rather than idea, which conta...
Yes, but the representation of these perceptions, is not, re: consciousness. The implication of each new perception is that we have to learn a thing e...
You know what they say: careful what you wish for. I’d probably go with the notion there wouldn’t be any reasoning going on at all. Or, maybe, given h...
Neither do I, and nowadays, most people don’t. But in 1738…… Absolutely, and they were duly distinguished beginning in Germany, mid-1700’s, not long a...
Overall, a well-thought post. Nothing in it to counter-argue conclusively. That being said, it might be worthwhile to consider the different between r...
The times. Always the times. It was difficult for Hume and everyone else of those times, for none of them gave space and time, for the missing princip...
Kinda-sorta. What he says first about the existence of bodies, is, “…it is in vain to ask whether there be body or not.…”, which is a weak euphemism f...
Agreed, neither drawn from, nor extracted by, experience, and both innate conditions. I might add that the animal has instinct moreso than reason, whi...
Ahhhh….cool. Thanks. There are places where he seems to give that impression, but doesn’t come right out and say it. ———— Yep. Judgement parsed the ev...
Hmmmm. 1., 3., sec XIV intimates Hume considers them as quite different, even if one follows from the other. ———- I’d have to examine deeper, to affir...
Ehhhhhh….it’s your tread, so you’ve the onus for responding to everyone writing to you, so you’re potentially the most talkative anyway, assuming folk...
