But, when used to define belief, the two senses of the word are alike in appearing (superficially at least) to deny beliefs to cats, who are oblivious...

Would you brush a speaking in tongues question away to a religion forum? Arguably. https://philosophybites.com/2016/01/steven-hyman-on-categorising-me...

Is it, Can we see the whole world as it is? Or is it, Can we see a suitable portion of the world as it is? Assuming the latter, is this short for, Can...

Well they did put scare quotes and say "in a way".

Yes, but @"Banno" keeps on explicitly disavowing this definition. His definition is truth-apt statements. (Hooray.) I.e. syntactical not semantical ob...

How on earth not? How are the blessed creatures expected to agree policy toward the myriad stimuli if not by ordering and classifying them?

:rofl:

True. :smile:

Point counterpoint.

If only. More specifically, the left hand side raises the question whether the quoted sentence has succeeded in pointing the word "white" at snow. So ...

Anthropomorphically, sure. Quite. But why can't it be fictional?

This isn't necessarily one of them. Just saying.

With that attitude.

Hume.

Day 24, 13.50: Slightly flat. Yikes, 22.05: Good. Day 25, 07.45: Slightly flat. 13.05: Semitone sharp. 21.00: Good. Day 26, 08.30: Good. 11.25: Good. ...

Interesting. What's your present view of the non-linguistic phase? Those of us inclined to agree with this, ... might assume there wasn't one?

Haha, it's almost that mystical. Still. Need to speed it up. But wrong when I do.

Day 23, 10.35: Slightly sharp. 14.45: Good. 16.40: Good. 18.55: Semitone sharp. 20.30: Good.

Off topic. Did you go here yet?

He he. Fair enough, but if the goal is to distinguish "conscious experience" from a non-conscious variety of something or other (experience?), and all...

For you, maybe. In your case perhaps qualism more than dualism.

Ok then, See? No minds.

At least, not literally.

The objects (or illumination events) not the light rays. (Are what we see.)

Why not have him complain:

Because they designed him to be a dualist? :wink:

Hence induction.

Ah.

Or is it the creation of texts and pictures by organisms able to play a social game of agreeing to pretend that these symbols point at the world, acco...

Ok, it seems you can't agree about the philosophical challenge. You want to settle: for different levels of description, not literally commensurable. ...

Day 23, 11.05: Silly amount of time waiting for high-low feels in (as it were) "response" to "images". But eventually reasonably sure, and tested posi...

Sure. Pretty much as you did there. Just never thought of whistling. So it's generally an internal "image", which I then check against the target here...

Cool stuff :smile: Day 22, 10.50: Good. ... D'oh! Of course, turns out you were in G for yours. Although not for the subsequent jam. Although I replay...

Internal qualia bad. External qualia good.

Yes, I think discussion of this or a similar report a couple of years ago helped kindle my current intrigue. 60 per cent is high, but I was surprised ...

That's exactly what I meant about how I think you see it. I hope that was clear. Anyway, as I say, I think it's a promising area in which to offer you...

But the philosophical challenge is to then get literal again. Lest your poetry be seized on. Inner dialog (and music) is a good place to be literal ab...

I wonder if this has to do with the perfect/absolute misnomering. Plenty of truth (overdue for discussion) in the cross-modal association speculation....

The obvious answer would be "training". But that would depend on your question being a bit silly. I've probably misunderstood.

I don't quite understand. If you mean relative pitch comparisons within an image then, as you say, You get that the grounding is through feedback agai...

I think Searle identified precisely the fundamental difference between the way a human thinks and how any contemporary model of a Turing-test-aceing c...

Why don't I see how their brain shivers are readying them to choose among which symbols to point at which objects? Why would you think that was a like...

Hopefully completing stage one. Have started to try and produce a (piano) g4 image in the midst of other music. With the obvious difficulties caused b...

Are our orderings of illumination events out there in the world as such? Are the ducks in a row?

I would need to translate that: what makes human visual orderings of illumination events special such that they are discernible by humans, unlike mach...

Not sure what you're getting at. Isn't there a whole science about that, and the huge inexactness?

I think illumination events are actually colored i.e. ordered into hues.

There you go again.
