:D You misunderstand. There's no desperation revisionism tantrum. There are a few historical facts that you (seem to intentionally) omit and now downp...
Oh dump the blinders already. Antisemitism in Christianity (Wikipedia) during Nazi times, some 94% of Germans were Christian, that's like 19 on a stre...
Just watched You Are Here (1h:20m). Strange and unusual movie about/with a number of philosophicalities, meta-cognition, Searle's Chinese room, mind, ...
Real is sometimes contrasted by fictional, illusory, or erroneous. Other times, real versus not real is used like discovered versus invented. Other ti...

I'd say there are at least some grounds for positing noumena... 1. you cannot experience another's self-awareness, since then you'd be them instead (s...
Hence when purpose is just use. Surely you're not suggesting that there was a bad blueprint for ostriches, but it just so happened that ostriches foun...
, I was thinking whether this stuff would be a better fit over in the language section. Maybe something similar could be said for causation... In the ...
See here, here, here, here, here in a parallel thread (you can likely find others). With "god did it" and "supernatural magic" anything goes. :sparkle...
Doesn't take long studies in philosophy, does it? • x is subjective = x's existence is mind-dependent (e.g. fictional (fictions exist too)) • x is obj...
A bit like The Emperor's New Clothes? https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/443851 https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/44387...
By Jove, , you brought up necessary (possible worlds, modal logic, the usual). If you know what you're commenting about, then you ought to be able to ...
Nope. It's observing that you didn't address the argument in that comment; heck, you didn't really respond to it, just went off on your own. The argum...
None of which addresses the (simple) deductive argument, . :) There's not even any reference thereto or mention thereof, instead you run seem to with ...
Bit of backpedalling there, , ? The modal logic — possible, necessary — aren't about you, I, homo sapiens, the universe we know of, in particular. Con...
, I'm guessing it was due to repetition, but that's just conjecture on my part. Maybe if something new and cool was added...? (Or just something diffe...
Why? It certainly fails no less than Rather 1. necessity = holds in all possible (self-consistent) worlds 2. say, R3 is a self-consistent whole, a pos...
Right, . Bridging the gap seems a bit out still. Supposing we could, could we then also disprove solipsism? (Vice versa?) There seems to be a relation...
My red is an occurrence. A part of me when occurring. Seems nonsensical that my red could be your red exactly. Though, when occurring as a consequence...
Kind of odd that we sometimes get things wrong, then, and sometimes discover (distinct from invent) new things. Self-elevation. Subjective idealism. G...
Seems like you were championing agnosticism. I guess not? (Memory loss? Short attention span? Scatterbrain? ...?) Linked right in the comment, you can...
Should we take the sentiment that you promote to be agnostic theist, @"3017amen"? Noticed you didn't take up the challenge, despite continuing talk ab...
Two rather different propositions: • life and consciousness came about in the universe, consciousness can come about in the universe • Vishnu/Yahweh i...
, could you at least try to stick with the comment? Your response indicated that you didn't quite read it (or didn't understand it, or didn't want to ...
No. Repeating: ad hominem is typically when someone's argument is dismissed because of their (perceived) character, or something similar that's irrele...

Implications of G's foreknowledge of our world is one thing, G's own freedom another. G does not have time to have freedom (or "free will", if there i...

OK , and welcome to the forums. So, what warrants dis/belief anyway? (Or some such preachery indoctrination proselytizing, for that matter?) , has to ...
You get to the bus stop in the morning, wondering if you're late, so you ask someone already there. In one scenario they respond "sorry, you missed it...
Some time ago, someone argued that, since we share many or most moral sentiments, those morals are independent of us. I'm not convinced that holds up....
