Mww

Ehhhhh.....I don’t do advice. But I can tell you, without experience, you’re usually gonna lose. Books. And more books. Always books.

Free will is not a thing, hence cannot meet the criteria regarding knowledge of its reality. Best I can say is, there is free will if one needs there ...

Errrrr....no it isn’t. It does not follow from the fact that not everything is known, that everything is possible. I mean....it’s not possible to know...

People can choose who they want to be all day long. Choosing and attaining are two completely different things, though, right? Can I choose to want to...

Nahhh. Using a chainsaw is a skill. If a human is a member of a certain class of carbon-based intelligence, then the being of human, is a condition of...

In matters of skill, I agree. But you asked about knowledge of being human, which is more than a skill. Why isn’t it the case that I must be human in ...

Not asking. Listening. Your initial statement, your follow-up exposition.

Interesting. Care to say more?

I hold no reverence for the human race in general, even if I’ve been acquainted with some fine individual members of it. I’m going with predication so...

There is not a transcendental ego, per se. If it is affirmed that there is a conception under which all my representations are united, and it is calle...

What do you suppose the character is independent of? What does axiomatically independent really say?

Just agreeing with you. However we each come to our conclusions doesn't matter all that much.

Smacks of suicide, and I ain’t done yet, so......no.

That’s exactly the opposite of what the first antinomy says. FIRST CONFLICT OF THE TRANSCENDENTAL IDEAS. THESIS. The world has a beginning in time, an...

The truth of that will be overshadowed by the effort required to direct anybody to it.

I’m good. You stipulated material universe, so.....hard to miss.

Either it is possible, or, it didn’t happen. There are mysteries of which physicists are aware, but that ain’t one of ‘em.

I am obligated only not to be the cause of suffering. It is not my duty to reduce suffering, although I may or may not be inclined towards it.

I live in the West, and I maintain that I am as free in the pursuit of my inclinations as my conditions permit, so.....yes.

So what....I played fast and loose with “same principle”. I still see no evidence that you grasped the intention of the paragraph, but rather, misdire...

Sensation of the representation implies representation comes before the sensation, which is backwards. Sensation is a physical event; representation o...

To a degree, yes, limited by technology and natural law. Metaphysics is limited only by logic, so as long as the logic holds, what metaphysics does, c...

Victory....over what?

Neither sensation of the-representation-not public, nor, sensation of the representation-not public, is a fix. Sensation of the....is empty; sensation...

Wow. None but the most daring intellectual acuity could excavate that from what I wrote.

Yep. Ownership of the car, possession of the sensation. Same principle. Not believe. Logically speculate. Not in subconscious. In understanding. Not m...

“....For how is it possible that the faculty of cognition should be awakened into exercise otherwise than by means of objects which affect our senses,...

Language games? A phone cannot be in your hand, it can only be held by your hand. The cause of pain can be in your hand (arthritis) but can also be he...

Simply put....there are no feelings intrinsic to a purely empirical statement, in the same way I do not have a feeling about the water I may or may no...

Yes, that’s standard modus operandi for theoretical science. At the same time, it is the cum hoc ergo propter hoc logical fallacy in theoretical philo...

Guess we’ll never know. Sworn to secrecy and all.

Does this not contradict itself? If reason is reserved for conscious processing, which is granted, and if much of the modeling is unconscious, how can...

I’m not sure about “all else”, but in the interest of a science of thought, the text has psychology, which is normative in that its propositions conta...

“...Furthermore, it provides a mathematical specification of ‘what’ the brain is doing; it is suppressing free-energy. If this uses gradient descent, ...

Nature itself, no. Since Hume, understanding events as parts of a whole, does not necessarily grant understanding of the whole. Technically, knowledge...

If everybody should be a philosophy-sovereign......how could it be taught? That which is taught is philosophizing by one to the receptivity of another...

Create our own new.... What better inkling of “private” could there be? “Create our own new” is merely speechifying synonyms for inventive, individual...

“criteriological” pg 118. New one on me. Got a nice ring to it, much cooler than “normative”.

I certainly agree with that, so....good enough. Thanks.

This is closer to the matter. Despite popular literature, Kant didn’t so much unite the two, as to show, beginning with himself, how they couldn’t hav...

Now THAT’S a comeback worth a decent chuckle right there. I appreciate it.

True enough. Some logical arguments conclude sound inferences, some do not.

Yep. Circularity. Never provable, but refutable, by merely invoking different majors or minors. Start here, you get epiphenomenalism; start there, you...

Common courtesy mandates a response, so......Thanks.

Circular. Not contradictory. With respect to illusion. 1.) The mental model of the brain..... that determines brain workings..... which determines men...

I’m non-committal, but I might eavesdrop from behind the fake rubber tree.

Ordinary parlance, yes. Presuppositions, yes. I’m sure you wouldn’t contradict yourself as obviously as this last seems to contradict the first, so I’...

Ahhhhh....Ok, gotcha. Reasons for assuming presuppositions. All those are sufficient reasons for assuming presuppositions, experience being my persona...

I guess I’d first have to ask what you mean convention, consensus, to be the primary reasons for. Spontaneity and those are very far apart, so just wo...

Yeah.....(chuckles to self).....I’m trying really hard to stay in the proper lane.
