Maybe (?) this plays a significant role in how we diverge. By subconscious experiences (which I grant is not a mainstream usage of terms) I in part am...

I plan on replying in further detail later on. For now: Without in any way denying the reality of conscious experience, down the line of my reasoning ...

To address what you've last written, a correction: I've repeatedly asserted that the experienced present has a duration. For clarity, implicitly requi...

You're telling me that devoid of your conscious reasoning, aka inferences, what you would experience is an eternal sound, one that is thereby devoid o...

Luke, since I’m not sure what to make of your statement, I’ll take it at face value. So, out of curiosity, I’ll make this reply: Circularity applies t...

From your second to last post: And from your last post: We seem to have come to a standstill. I find that you incorporate so much of neuroscientific k...

Hm, I agree. I guess in the back of my mind is the neo-Platonic notion of the "the One" as g-d. Which is likely not what Kant had in mind. But I don't...

Fractals – the example with which you illustrate your point – have boundaries, thereby being bounded, and thereby being subject to limits. We can disc...

:yikes: Honored, actually. But now I'm toying around with band name "Plebianesque" myself. Darn, they're getting really hard to find nowadays ... if a...

Since its such a large part of our contention, I'm going to ask a few questions that I take to be relevant to what I find to be the experience of time...

Not one bit when I have my biological sciences hat on, no. Very true. Nevertheless, going with the flow of culture, there is the use of "more evolved"...

A slight correction. What makes "more evolved" nonsense when addressing Darwinian evolution isn't its necessary being devoid of teleology - which, as ...

I should further comment: What I don't get is how one can envision a plurality of intuitions that are unlimited, or infinite. Quantity is always finit...

For one post, those are a lot of questions. :smile: Since I take this to be self-evident, I’ll comment: Thought devoid of aboutness, devoid of some gi...

In my agreement: “Cooking is an art; baking is a science.” This being a common enough view among commoners (yes, I is a commoner too in this regard). ...

:up: Glad you liked them! :grin: BTW, I'm actually empathetic to what you say in your OP. Just thinking that philosophers need to put food on the tabl...

"... But you can given them to the birds and bees," goes that other song :grin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVuSYUNAekc All this reminds me of Luc...

To conceive of a point that divides past from future is already an act of dealing with a conceptual abstraction of what time is ontotologically. It is...

Per Wiktionary, "moment" has two non-specialized definitions: a brief but unspecified duration of time and, potentially at odds with this, the smalles...

I imagine that if I were to be having a conversation with some non-philosophically inclined person and to then spontaneously ask, “Are we right now ta...

Cool, and reassuring. Thanks for the reference.

As regards the experiential nature of time, I feel like viewing more of your debate with Luke. For my part, I don’t understand how your claim that pre...

So its know, I'll contribute later on.

Thanks again for the informative post. Yes, I in fact do agree with what you've outlined. For me, at least, the intending that occurs so as to perceiv...

To @"Metaphysician Undercover": Yes, what Luke said.

First, I don’t assume determinism. I assume a form of compatibilism that is largely rooted in what most would nowadays term indeterminism (rather than...

Nice post! I'm interpreting goal-driven determinacy to be performed by sub/unconsciousness as well - which obviously isn't strictly divided from consc...

Thanks. Unfortunately I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this thread, since it turns out I'm shorter on time than anticipated. Bu...

Hm. We here hold different perspectives. I find that the separation of all experiences strictly into past and future is the product of a logical, rath...

Thank you for the well written post regarding Husserl's intentionality. In truth, I need to delve into Husserl's notions more than I have. In my view ...

Hm. The telos is the objective that might or might not become a reality. The telosis is all the activities one engages in to make the objective a real...

Yes, I agree. As much as I dislike introducing novel terminology, it's the difference between a goal one strives to achieve and a goal-accordant endst...

How is "the intended fulfillment of the goal" - which, as you say, is understood as in the future - not a redundant way of saying "the goal"? (e.g., W...

No. I'll try to re-describe the three concepts: Telos = the potential end toward which a given moves; e.g., a goal (that which one wants to accomplish...

Thanks for the disagreement. I assume you are approaching this from an eternalism pov. If not, the future is not yet objectified and so is also never ...

Though it takes place in the mind, in the mind it takes place in the future - and from this mentally established potential future is determined what o...

In alluding to your interchange with @"Wayfarer" so far: I too find the OP's proposition is relative to what one interprets by the term “God”. If, for...

Don't want to derail the thread, but this in no way describes Academic skeptics such as Cicero, who committed himself to a multitude of, some would sa...

Groovy. What abouts this part heres: Or do you find no correlation between increased global warming and increased human suffering?

No, the given is not extinction. But that all humans are mortal, with or without extinction. My point, again, is that the issue is not death, but suff...

As you may recall from a former conversation a while back, that all humans die is a given. So the issue is not one of whether or not humans will die. ...

All this intended in good sport: To start with premise (1), how do you figure its verity? For: If good justifications exist, then Agrippa’s trilemma i...

I’ve been a self-proclaimed philosophical (aka, anti-Cartesian-skepticism) skeptic since at least my late teens. Due to feedback from this forum and m...

Cool post, thanks. :up:

An idea regarding infinity I’d like your feedback on, since you’re far more knowledgeable regarding mathematics: “Infinity” is fully synonymous to “un...

Thanks. So no corrections to what I posted, then? To my mind already answered this aptly. My post on freedom which you gave 10 out of 10 to ought to h...

Yes to some of his works being close to timeless for me, but not all. Personal tastes though. I'd say sharper as well. But again, tastes.

I'd say "no". I've got folk that only made on album in my library that I don't get tired of enjoying. Good quality, little breadth. Assuming one share...

Why pit one against the other? Last I checked economy is dependent upon resources. When resources vanish, economy plummets. Our economy is now global....

I might be wrong on this, and may I be corrected if I am, but I think you’re missing @"Kasperanza"'s crucial background issue of us not being deprived...
