Nope. As I said, make your decisions.....read your signs....any way you like. Do I think it irrational? Maybe. Do I think you should think it irration...
What’s irrational is seeking or expecting a verifiable objective account of a decision making process by that which is not, and can never be, a first-...
No, actually, they are not. Not quite. (To be defined).....is to be conceived, which is always the primary ground..... Those are my words. Please reco...

I didn’t say definitions were required, you did: Me: to define is to conceive You: What does that take? Me: self-consciousness and a rational methodol...
I’m more or less agreeing with you with respect to the claim as stated. Even if I hadn’t read a substantial catalog of moral philosophy, in which ther...
The particulars of the dialogue itself, probably not the foundation of subjectivist condemnation. The dialectical form of the conversation may very we...
Reason doesn’t give a hoot how old you are; the day you die you’ve got the same brain you were born with....albeit more developed and rather more well...
Yes, definitions are sufficient to value, for to be defined is to be conceived, which is always the primary ground for some immediate and subsequent m...
According to our definitions, which is immediately sufficient for any valuings so determined, to be merely empirically grounded, re: from experience a...
Question....just because: Given herein that the principle of necessity makes explicit that for which contingency is impossible. What is it for any rat...
Yes, I am. And yes, I know. Not all things are default wrong, but one of the things you claimed as a default wrong, isn’t, the rebuttal sustained by t...
Yeah, Mother Nature has deemed it good to imbue us with a sensory overload protection mechanism on the one hand, and an internal trash collecting mech...

Yeah, I know. The blah blah blah is due to the lack of consent from the unborn person, and such is quite frightful to Kantian deontology because it de...
Yes, it is, because what you said he said, or what you think he means by what he said, is wrong. I don’t care about your procreation foolishness; I ca...
Yes, I read that, and after looking up the terms because I had no experience with them, pretty much agreed with you. There is certainly an inner and a...

The dreaded, cursed, Cartesian theater!!! BOOOO!!!! I turned him on to that, but he missed it. Page 4. An otherwise normal human knows his thought as ...
I think the definition of introspection is whatever any decent English dictionary says it is, but I’ve never looked it up. But here, I’m using Clark’s...
Exactly. Nothing whatsoever happens between the ears that doesn’t rise to the self as pure thought, which, ironically enough, serves as a good definit...
I didn’t change your definition of introspection; I substituted an different conception of it. ——————- Generally, pure thought; specifically, as a com...
They could. All they gotta do is think about it. ——————- And I will admit that people are liable to have blind spots in their understandings. ——————- ...
I reject the idea of introspection as the most obvious, most readily available, most commonly accessed, means for self-observation. ———————— I’m not u...
I don’t even deny introspection exists. I reject that the idea of introspection is sufficient to justify what you say it does. But if you do think it ...
What?!!? Hell, no. I got no right to reject anything of the sort. If someone said they were rejecting my experiences, I’d give ‘em a funny look and ju...
Generally speaking, they damn well should be. One’s interpretations, cognitive biases, prejudices form the spectrum of judgements he is going to make ...
I never said, nor even hinted, that I reject your collective experiences of introspection. But don’t worry....I won’t judge you for misunderstanding m...
While that conforms to general consensus, nevertheless, with respect to Kantian deontology, it is freedom that makes one lawful. ———— Here though, aga...
I explained my rejection of the very idea of introspection primarily because it is only rationality anyway, and secondary to that, it is redundant to ...

Nahhhh....I got respect enough for your comments here to never mock them. I’m partly agreeing, insofar as I acknowledge your belief in introspection, ...
Fine. No problem. I shall have to trust your belief in the explanatory power of anthropology and empirical psychology. But seriously, I do understand ...
Pretty much what I’ve been saying all along. One’s personal philosophy manifests as the summation of his experience in relation to his conscience. One...
If no one existed in sec 1, how would they do anything in sec 1? Doesn’t matter. You’re perfectly entitled to think what you like, interpret Kant any ...
