I’m not sure how that is the case, so I’ll say “no”.

You’re assuming that the apple is being presented in something called experience. But there is no evidence of such a place, let alone that apples appe...

Sure it is. I’m watching him experiencing an Apple directly.

It’s not a desire for change that motivates me but a conscientious effort to refuse participating in what I view as an evil arraignment. F?at j?stitia...

There are other senses, though.

Does air prohibit us from directly experiencing air? He's blind. He cannot see the apple.

Surely you can name or point to what prohibits direct experience.

It is experience viewed objectively, from a view independent of any phenomenological account. From this view, to watch a blind man directly eat an app...

It shows that he is directly interacting with an apple. Nothing appears to be mediating his experience or perception, or otherwise hindering his exper...

Direct Realist Presentation: perceptual experiences are direct perceptual presentations of ordinary objects. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/percep...

But he’s touching it, destroying it, consuming it. At no point are the interactions indirect, so we need not say the experience is indirect.

If you watch someone eat an apple, what does the evidence show regarding the directness of his perception?

We can easily witness any person and the objects he interacts to see how direct perception really is. It’s so direct that some of the objects, like ap...

Confusion doesn’t explain how a past action can impose on a future person.

Ok. So, for example, which past persons and which situations imposes on you?

I just don’t understand how one can impose on someone in the future. Which past people or situation imposes on you?

How does someone impose on a future person without having to travel through time?

Good explanation. That’s an important point. If one expands “the network doing the inference” to include the sensorimotor systems, what happens to the...

You wouldn’t care if they were doing crack and hookers. That’s mighty lenient of you.

I’m all for it. What I’m against is the two-tiered justice system. If this was anyone else, for instance the son of the last president, the media cove...

Oh, it’s just obvious. Very convincing.

The first son. https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1546267015303815170?s=21&t=KToFGSnCF17KNVD8BcP0lQ I honestly feel bad for the guy, and for many...

I can’t find it in their cases, though. No such cases arose from the Mueller report, either.

Any witness tampering cases to show?

Teflon don. Keep trying.

And zero trials or convictions for what you claim are crimes. The patterns of the false accusations, though, are never-ending.

Phoning someone isn’t.

He allegedly phoned someone who never answered. Bmbshell!

The consistency here lies in wanting to deter the killing of human life. Punishment, capital or otherwise, is one such deterrent.

There is no evidence or compelling argument for the existence of p-zombies in your scenario. Unfortunately the assertion that something is true is not...

The phrase “pro-life” pertains only to the abortion debate, not to other matters. It’s the same same with “pro-choice”. If pro-choicere were to oppose...

Every anti-abortion argument I’ve heard has to do with the termination of human life, so I’m not sure that’s accurate or a fair interpretation of what...

You did stipulate what you wished, and it ended up implying dissent is lies and consensus is truth. I would wear a tinfoil hat and cardboard sign if i...

It’s it doesn’t follow that because one opposes the evisceration of a human fetus he ought to support the production of artificial wombs. It’s like sa...

That doesn’t make it true, either. Your stipulation is just that, a stipulation, like they stipulated phlogiston or a pantheon of gods. A dissenting v...

It’s not a lie to dissent. I would defer to dissent from the prevailing view because the claim that one is not conscious but they still perform the ac...

That’s the problem to begin with. Tastes, manners, proclivities, beliefs, desires, etc. are pluralistic.

Not much of a rule, then. It could be as simple as a handshake. No need to pretend we’re speaking about cannibalism.

Not much of a rule, then. Still, assumptions are made, behavior is premised on them. Worse still, it’s self-cantered. You consider yourself before con...

I’m not an economist, so perhaps it’s for the best.

The labor theory of value has largely been abandoned and widely criticized. I’m not sure it applies.
