I’m somewhat baffled. Namely, if this was your stance all along, why all the fuss in relation to what I’ve been saying. Such as your accusation of “co...

Musical notes are representational models of what is heard – an intellectualization of what is experienced, so to speak. “Notes” in English usage only...

As your reply just reminded me, we disagree on the nature of time. While I don’t want to turn this tread into a discussion of time, to me the present ...

Have to go soon, however: If a so deemed bedrock belief - such as that of experiencing two hands - can be justified, why do you then object to it bein...

In a way I agree. Yet, as per Aristotle, this addresses the laws by which beliefs become justified. However, as to so termed bedrock beliefs such as t...

I agree with the contents of your reply. My emphasis, however, was on bedrock beliefs holding the capacity of being justified to be true. And, by exte...

I can think of a way around this, at least for some aspects of experience. As you later note, belief is hard to pin down, so I'll here be assuming som...

To butt in slightly, there are experiential knowns. If one experiences X – though knowledge that X is as one experiences it might require more than br...

Since this will be just as laconic: An equally big point: Neither is there an absence of a first person point of view as self - a plurality of these c...

Yes, our waking awareness of our physiological body is absent in most REM dreams. All the same, doesn’t there remain the same disparity between subjec...

Dreams are experienced non-physiological perceptions (and concepts, which are not percepts, but to keep things simple ...), this just as much as is a ...

Yet the transcendentally apprehensive self is neither its mind nor its body, though conjoined to both. To what extent do you disagree? I'm very surpri...

I, personally, don't subscribe to a duality between a "worldly" first person point of view and any non-worldly first person point of view which one wo...

Hm, the easiest way for me to answer this is via reference to linguistic convention: When I tactilely feel the chair I am sitting on or else look at a...

Thanks for the informative reply. From second-hand readings, I’m aware of transcendental apprehension, and agree with it, but on its own find it somew...

Feel like I should also mention, yours was a good point.

Bummer, but OK. :cool:

I’m working on something related to this at the moment. The difficult part is in conveying via what can only be a conceptualization what is referenced...

Ha!

What you say resonates with me. I take the following to be complementary to what you’ve expressed. I’ve heard some word it as surrender to a higher po...

:grin: I like that.

I made use of “typically” and “often” with the intention of allowing for such exceptions to the generality I presented. So, yes, I very much agree. Wh...

Very true. But implicit to this is a presiding order of "power-over" relations. No?

Commenting in the hope of maybe augmenting the given expression of “subjugation”. In my current understanding, there’s often a critical difference to ...

So it’s known, I uphold that consciousness is causally associated with organic substrates of matter, and furthermore subscribe to a modified bundle th...

This isn’t exactly Descartes’ argument of “I think, therefore I am”, but in seeking to provide an answer to the question: The only reason one would kn...

Your post reminds me of an oldie I like. Man, time flies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS-7ihucBXw

How do you square that with greed? Can those who profess “greed is good” (which seems to be the main economic motto of the day) ever obtain what they ...

It has nothing to do with doubt. It has to do with how we obtain conscious knowledge of our decisions, thoughts, and feelings given our supposed unawa...

If this is of any help, cognition has a lot to do with cognizance, the latter being defined as “notice or awareness” by Wiktionary for the context her...

In your worry about reifying decisions, thoughts, and feelings into objects or things – something which was never once done nor would be by anyone wit...

Not to sound too pretentious (nor to deny that I am), but expressing personal opinions in reply to logical questions that are left unaddressed is not ...

Your point of view is very curious to me. If we’re not usually aware of our decisions, thoughts, or feelings (I don’t recall using the phrase “become ...

Thanks for the replies. I see what you are elaborating on. Though I approach things from a somewhat different perspective, I don’t find much to disagr...

I didn’t intend the term “emerge” as in philosophical understanding of emergence but as in “coming out from.” At the time it seemed more appropriate t...

Ought to be going, but wanted to say you bring up a good point, if I interpret you correctly. Fear, aggression, and fun are three conceptually distinc...

Then my bad for having misinterpreted the emotive tone.

I hope I don't need to link to definitions of "interoception" given how long this thread is and the term's repeated use, nor need to make a distinctio...

I gave one example of envy. What set of core affects correlate to the cognitive state of envy? If any and all, then my conclusion is there is no neces...

No denying that. This is a good example of what I'd frame as top-down effects upon bodily states emerging from cognitive states. Haven't read a lot of...

In respect to imagination (here broadly understood to not literally regard only images), I'd say very little if any. One can become thirsty (an intero...

While I concur that emotions are often formed at a conscious level of their manifestation via retroactive application of emotion-concepts to that whic...

yea, ditto

That death is the obtainment of non-being is a false premise? I don't think that's what you intend. So spell out the false premise to my question.

Intellectual honesty would have addressed my question.

And yet none of this affects the hypothetical of reincarnations. For instance, some CNS gets produced in the far future whose nurture in the formative...

I greatly admire the ideal of the USA founders: a checks and balances of all power. Given human imperfections and tendencies, this imv best stabilizes...

Much of current American culture, which is spreading worldwide, subsists on insecurities. From Orwellian fears of other that hold no tangible resoluti...

Both of which are an evasion from personal responsibility.

Well, I wouldn't use the term "earned". If some Heaven is filled with brown-nosers who don't give a damn about what is right and what is wrong ... um,...
