Your arguments seemed to suggest that people are mistaken for arguing racism only applies to white people. You have sympathy for the alt-right because...
See... that's political, not comedy. Supposedly, there is this grave double standard in how racism is treated. How unjust you cry. What could be funni...
I know, but I think that's wrong. The significance is disruption, not in being the (political) underdog. (Political) underdogs make rote and unfunny s...
Watching it, I thought it could work either as a sincere expression of white supremacy or a satire criticising it, which is probably a good sign. I th...
That video is hilarious... but not because of Trump's politics or policy. It's funny because being right doesn't matter. He contradicts himself, speak...
I did not dissolve the distinction. My claim was not that the causal was a a casual, but that the casual expressed the acausal. Extension (casual) exp...
This is an attempt to bring laws into the possibility of the caused world. You want to say that, when a casual relationship occurs, it happened becaus...
Following from my earlier response on ethics, Hume's is ought/is problem is a call to moral knowledge. An understanding of ethics which discards the i...
That's the exact problem. If God is going to be coherent as a force or presence, they must make a difference. The world of God must be different than ...
I know. My point is that's incoherent. Any cause is, by definition, a part of nature, a state of the world which results in another. The "supernatural...
My point is you are now (as of the post I initially responded to) rejecting the idea of physical minds a priori. You immediately read the concept of p...
Only if you (as I suspect he would argue) make the mistake of considering this concept of personal identity as non-physical. For the non-eliminative m...
The negative reactions to this are a pretty good example of how advocates of "subjective" ethics can be frequently misread as nihilists. What is Sapie...
It's worse. "God did it" is a "natural" explanation. If (unobserved or not) God changed the world, then God is causal. Causality cannot function outsi...
The same as we always had: knowledge of ethics, expressed in particular cultural discourses (e.g. various religious traditions, social movements, ethi...
The discursive isn't only a question of spoken language. It's experience. Any understanding or awareness is a discourse, a representation of meaning, ...
My comment wasn't so much on the nature of wisdom as it was the emptiness of the transcendent once things are known to be understandable. Wisdom is a ...
My position is there is no non-discursive knowledge. Our experiences (feelings, thoughts, intuition, etc.,etc.) are non-discursive (states of existenc...
I'd didn't deny there was knowledge by intuition, feeling or experience. Indeed, that is the only means of knowledge: all instances of awareness are o...
I meant in the sense that what was at stake wasn't just science, but a whole logic of metaphysics. What's at stake isn't the practice of science (plen...
I'd say more than that. It goes deeper. Rather than just a empirical approach, it is a metaphysical one: materialism. When it is recognised anything m...
You are forgetting that the knower also as an experience beyond words. The sort of emotion and nuance you are talking about isn't just reserved for th...
No, it's not. It's objective for all subjectivities. If I am upset, for example, then it's true I'm upset for any subjectivity, not just my own. For e...
That's doesn't go far enough though, for each subjective states is also universal. No matter what what anyone thinks, my experiences are mine, for exa...
We don't need to go to clones to know ownership is reproducible. Ownership of experiences have been reproduces for many thousands of years, many milli...
Well see, you are denying knowledge there. You claim that experiences cannot be modelled, as if it were impossible to have a map of what someone was t...
For sure, but that's why it's a strawman. In arguing we know or understand what others are feeling (sometimes said in the form: "knowing what it's lik...
I've never said there were thing without identity. To speak about difference or selection is not to speak about any thing. We are talking about logica...
A strawman. There was no claim of exhausting your experience at all. Indeed, I outright said the opposite: what shown in experiences is only a map; it...
How logical distinctions are defined. How is it there is difference between myself and the computer screen? Why is one me and the other one not? I'd s...
Isn't that identifying why free will is irrelevant to selection? What could be further from free will than the non-voluntary? Something we cannot cont...
I know that's your point. Mine is that that doesn't make sense. Selection, as spoken about in this thread, cannot be an action. It's incoherent. Witho...
For sure, but what does that have to do with the knowledge is question? If I know you're upset by the suffering in the world, the fact that your exper...
The self is an expression of an existing difference-- the meaning of a individual subject who is distinct from all other things. It cannot be reduced ...
I find this question to be a little be strange. Is not the point of the map that it is secondary, only a representation of a territory which is some o...
Hence the illusion of transcendence-- that's just immanence. Sometimes people call or think this immanence is "transcendence." The thinking of the con...
For selection to be an action of something is a contradiction. For someone to take some action, difference needs to be already defined, else there is ...
For sure, the point is to think about the transcendent concept to the exclusion of everything else. Pray think and value God (the transcendent in this...
That's they very illusion I'm talking about. Prayer is lived. It is not transcendent at all. I'm not talking about the allure of a conceptual saviour....
My impression is that it speaks about selection in similar terms as the transcendentalists, as some sort of force acting to create, to show what imman...
No, that's the argument of those who desire the simple structure. Yours. The position unwilling to see, for example, harm and suffering inflicted upon...
Postmodernism isn't vague. Just needlessly obscure sometimes. The lack of structure is its insight. Things stand on their own rather than being pre-de...
I don't know if I call it persecution per se, but the do take a strong stance against participating in religion. They form a cultural force which woul...
Strikes me to be a feature of immanence. When selection is transcendent, it's a form which makes selection, which sets the limit of the world or state...
I'd say the point of this distinction between existence and facts is to avoid the confusion of that very distinction. What exactly is the difference b...
More like that which is beyond particular description. God clearly is a concept in that sense, an infinite which cannot be reduced to any description....
By the definition ("something known or proven") of a fact given earlier, the question doesn't make sense. Since no-one knew about the state in questio...
The problem is it is that which renders your quest incoherent. To seek knowledge of noumenon is to consider in conceptual terms, to seek to reduce int...
The distinction is between knowing (representation) and existing (presence, living). Knowledge of the noumenon is not impossible because of some hidde...
The truth of logic doesn't take an existing mind. God is non-existent. A realm outside space-time, outside existence, which remains true no matter wha...
