Firstly, I just want to say I think you are brilliant and I am greatly enjoying this dialogue. So, I'm going to use our conversation as our object of ...
This sounds like a really great opportunity! I'll break out my questions here and edit the detail over the next few days until I think I have somethin...
Yep, or the Meinongian jungle! Well for me, it helps to think of the concept creations as discoveries. Did Kant create Kantian ethics or did he recogn...
Yes. Kind of, or that different ethical values are at play absent definition and that the study of ethics too spent time undefined. Take my work with ...
I'm glad you asked! Answer me this, how would you react if you were transported to a universe which is composed entirely of air? You are floating ther...
I think you're misunderstanding what I mean by pure abstract. This isnt Noumena its phenomena. Pure abstract is just unamed and unnoticed until someon...
That's what I'm feeling too, for example we might say that confronting a priori truths or discovering them is satisfying to us. The emotions you descr...
Would you agree that calm rationality is as much an emotional state as anger, anxiety, love, joy, etc? I often feel that people get into the notion th...
I've mulled this over so I can come back to it now. I think the reason this threw me a little is because I only see the use in recognising 1, 4 and 6....
Only in a non-linear sense. It's easy for us now to say that the concept of Pi is anchored abstract and that Pi a Priori just was, not so for all the ...
Blew my mind a little there.. Might as well ask; what does it feel like to think? It's the only answer I can come up with to your question. Calculatin...
To put it simply, to me the anchor point is defined as the physical location that the meaning of the abstraction resides, whether that's a book, someo...
A fair point. Would It be fair to say then that the anchor points lie in cognition and the language used to describe cognition? Were certain Qualia of...
I did think of cognition at first, however I worry that the mind can arguably be something that is considered anchored abstract in and of itself; so i...
I think the most realistic thing to assume here; is that any historical philosopher that were to be given life today would probably be most interested...
To a certain extent yes; however I think gene editing and research into human immortality might be frowned upon for religious reasons. I have moral pr...
Do you think his Mother and Father would agree with that? Do they feel harmed? So if a man dies not knowing he raised the offspring of another man wit...
Couldn't agree more. Marcus Aureliuses is only contextually useful to those in leadership roles requiring decisive action and it isn't useful to them ...
I agree with that. It still doesn't provide an answer to the question of what he would think today. Just makes others answers here look a little misle...
Some really great answers here! Funny and insightful. @"I like sushi" these are just opinions on what dead people might say. It would maybe help us; i...
What if the man in question is your friend or family? What if the assailant is your friend or family? What about people who suffer from PTSD because o...
Good points to raise. Wouldn't expect any less from you. Here is a question that will flesh it out more; Were you harmed in being a witness to what ha...
I'm a philosopher from Scotland, Hume 2.0 haha just kidding. I come here to have deep discussions about what I feel are the best questions I come up w...
Fascinating! I have so many questions I don't know where to begin! I suppose my first question; if these programs are legitimately providing effective...
Most of the time yes, we can't forget however that some rules are made to be broken and even the best leaders are human enough to make mistakes. It mi...
Me tilting at windmills? Says the person who seems to be attacking every imaginary being called a god right now.. Can you really not think of any exam...
I didn't realise that everything outside of religion couldn't possibly be dogmatic in any way! Religion is fine in my opinion. Dogmatism and intoleran...
Except; agnosticism is more to do with the concept of knowledge than it is a deity really. For example; I am agnostic toward the belief in the physica...
You're right. I mean, its importance was talked about, most teachers would tell us we have to think critically but what this meant and what it was to ...
@"I like sushi" Indeed, let’s hope we don’t build Simulants too haha Androids that hate humans don’t sound like something I want to be worrying about ...
I actually extend the principle of charity. How about you take it up with the people that aren’t, instead of targeting me specifically for some patern...
I’m not the one being needlessly antagonistic here. TS being purposely obtuse is the antagonising factor. I answered your question here and I stand by...
Would you at all mind if I borrowed some of your verse to craft my own? More than happy to discuss Taoism and Universalism with you. :) I’ll open up a...
How about you actually read Dennett instead of assuming you know what the argument is or what any of the nuance, logic, premises and evidence might be...
I’m autistic, I’m not very good with jokes. Sue me. So it’s not humble to honestly tell someone your qualifications when asked? Okay. I’ll lie next ti...
Was I being pissy about it? I was answering you tagging me? Are we going to get into another pointless debate over me agreeing with you that it is poi...
Simple. You’re either an ethical pragmatist who believes there is an objective moral truth that you don’t know; or an ethical pragmatist who is living...
As they should be really. I don’t require anyone’s belief in my claim for it to be an honest one. I’m not a moderator here so it doesn’t give me any a...
