Sounds cool. Will drink. My point exactly. Please read the context. This is obvious, but is also what lulls people into the sleep from which this cons...

By 'an experience' do you mean 'a conscious experience'? I was going to add: ... or the kind of experience a sock can undergo?... but I gather that cu...

Feel consciously, I'm prepared to doubt. Not firmly. Just casting a preliminary vote. If it might elicit a vote from you (because you weren't a panpsy...
May 28, 2020 at 11:13
Excellent question. My vote, FWIW... where human infants acquire competence in pointing symbols (including samples) at things, so that a red thing is ...
May 28, 2020 at 10:08
Ok, well I did my best to get you to notice where I think your argument tricks you into thinking it is deflationary while it is anything but. Somethin...

And usually reached on physicalist grounds. As I said, the one implies the other, so the comment about non-identity was rather pointless.
May 27, 2020 at 22:02
Your position is about studiously having it both ways, so that's hardly surprising. No, you admitted that an eliminativist (usually a physicalist) wou...
May 27, 2020 at 21:52
Not really. I merely want to establish whether the panpsychist does need after all to take ownership of as I alleged, and not pretend that they are ti...
May 27, 2020 at 20:58
And this perspective was already on the physicist's menu, or not?
May 27, 2020 at 10:08
No, I think it has already also required, but doesn't seem keen to admit it.
May 26, 2020 at 22:08
I must admit I did a slight double take the first time I read this: ... introducing an analysis that concludes, with apparent satisfaction: Could this...

And no photographing. No creation of internal representations from which further on or later on to extract information. Just learning to respond appro...

@"StreetlightX" has been prepared to defend this kind of barbarism but doubtless he has no shame. :worry: And you, Sir?
May 25, 2020 at 22:01
Yes, good point, and a good example: was the article even committed to or advocating some positive doctrine called direct or naive realism? I gathered...

Talk of thoughts being "about" things, in a sense needing subsequent unpacking, can too easily become talk of the thoughts "representing" the things, ...
May 25, 2020 at 10:54
5 is a gateway drug leading to 4. (Emergent) "property" and "phenomenon"... too suggestive of a substance/goo/woo. (Emergent) "aspect"?
May 24, 2020 at 16:47
So, what's missing for them has to be a picture in the head if it's anything in the head?
May 24, 2020 at 16:42
Just to be clear... a picture in the head?
May 24, 2020 at 16:18
Dreams are off-line thoughts: thoughts unaffected by the normal requirement of their having to somehow answer to each other and to the organism's pres...

Hence @"tim wood"'s and @"SophistiCat"'s clarifications.
May 20, 2020 at 02:12
That was one of several (prior to @"tim wood"'s) where expertise of the reader had caused unconscious correction (and hence ignoring) of the mis-state...
May 20, 2020 at 02:02
Exactly. Membership isn't.
May 19, 2020 at 21:58
No, and neither would you assume that we have multiple bananas to be correlated with some number of subjective first banana experiences. ... or, would...
May 17, 2020 at 16:16
My emphasis, and probably not the OP's, in which case apologies for going off topic. Anyways... Something often missed is a variety of advantages whic...

Sure, a poem why not... but, given the title, should you be calling it a chair, already? And then, the adjectives... are they wise? Don't they sound a...

:up: :cool: I was quite happily sampling Ground Zero in ten or 15-minute "bleeding chunks" (which I believe is the musicological term). Probably that ...
May 10, 2020 at 15:06
Cool, it's up there in post #3, but I'll post subsequent edits down here. Reading yours now. Hopefully respond tomorrow.
May 10, 2020 at 13:14
Haha, I'm rubbish at deadlines. (I asked for an extension, but not so you would notice - my bad.) Anyway, I reckon we might be interested in each othe...
May 10, 2020 at 12:21
I'm stretched on the carpet and purring... Hang on, though... not to be ungrateful but, is "the above" the OP? So you are agreeing after all with the ...
May 09, 2020 at 12:19
Cool, not sure I was even aware of the SEP article, so you've returned the favour in kind :up: Did you find the article on his aesthetics, specificall...
May 08, 2020 at 20:26
Sounds like what you already said. We notice more and more, and then maybe eventually less, and look for something new. Cool but heading off-topic.
May 08, 2020 at 13:06
Good point. Being exposed to a stimulus isn't always noticing it. And 'hear' can mean notice. (As well as be-exposed-to: my preference in the OP.) Eve...

Decide whether the question is about whether or not we have encountered a complete and genuine instance of the artwork, or is instead one of any numbe...
May 08, 2020 at 11:04
:100: :100: https://youtu.be/uMPEUcVyJsc :ok: But often, as in the OP, and my comments so far, listening is just hearing, or facilitating hearing.
May 08, 2020 at 09:53
:ok: For notational music, we potentially care about and often prize the differences between sound events that hang on "small" differences between not...
May 07, 2020 at 18:14
I think I speak for both myself and @"TheMadFool" when I say we already agreed absolutely with all these implications of your OP for art and music, vi...
May 07, 2020 at 17:39
Except for the single un-scored pause, yes. To put it differently, you heard an entire piece differing (from the one you planned to hear) by one pause...
May 07, 2020 at 09:22
It's more that I don't trust "information" to facilitate communication in a discussion like this, and would rather gloss it in other terms. In the con...
May 06, 2020 at 15:24
Not sure why "brain" is in quotes, but no matter. "The information in your brain", though... are we back to internal images, data, words, symbols? I'm...
May 05, 2020 at 21:01
Well, the view from my window could (in one sense) mean my back garden, or it could mean an image of said garden created at said window. A photo, for ...
May 05, 2020 at 16:05
"Scribble", "refer" and "eyes", I think I understand. Not even sure about scribble, though. Do you mean the actual image on the screen, or something m...
May 05, 2020 at 15:27
So, not as an image? (Or just not as a kind of image you would or could store or retrieve?)
May 05, 2020 at 09:11
Haha, difficult. Working on it. :nerd: "Have"? They relate to them, sure. I am keener than you (apparently) to avoid implying that a dreaming brain li...
May 04, 2020 at 14:47
Okydoke, I shouldn't have taken this, ... too literally.
May 04, 2020 at 08:42
Also fair enough. Are we then back to here, ? Do you need to commit to mental components?
May 03, 2020 at 21:09
I hoped you wouldn't ask that one :confused:
