(a) How do you know (i.e. corroborate) that you or any other agent is "conscious" if "consciousness" is completely, inaccessibly subjective? :chin: (b...
And that suffices, the rest is derivative (pace Kant) or superfluous. A more cogent and parsimonious description is, imo, more or less this one: "obse...
What there is (i.e. the view from any where): the world¹ and true statements about the world¹; all the rest consist in abstractions, fictions, fallaci...
:up: :sparkle: :eyes: :lol: :rofl: Yeah, and then you draw an unwarranted conclusion about "the world itself" as if the living are the world's victims...
Dude, "the world" is not an intentional agent so it cannot be "unfair" or "unjust". Stop whining about your category mistake, for fuck's sake, and get...
:smirk: We agree for once, NOS. Here in America we've been "outraged" about that since 1619 ... 1701 ... 1787 ... (1791-1804) ... 1857 ... 1896 ... 19...

I'm not a member of the Democratic Party and I never have been. I do not care one bit whether or not the party organization or its nominating primary ...
Since my being "AWARE" is post hoc confabulation, I "CHOSE" before I became "AWARE" (as Libet's experiments¹, etc show) that I have "CHOSEN" (e.g. fro...
:up: :up: :100: Yes, it's the idealist (antirealist) conflation of epistemology ("what I/we know") and ontology ("all there is") – i.e. a fly-bottle o...
FWIW, my guess (preference) of prospective nominees to emerge out of the Dems Convention shitshow next month: 1. VP Harris-Gov Whitmer (likely) 2. Gov...
Terror management (re: mortality) via reality-denial (i.e. fact-free, consoling myths & fairytales) seems the primary function of religious magical th...
For a hundred or so millennia many thoughtful persons have lived, thrived & died without 'being religious'. Given that eusocial living sustainably wit...
Do you assume that 'the wavefunction' itself is mind-independent¹ (whether it 'collapses' (Copenhagen) or not (Everett))? Do you assume that 'the wave...
19July24 Interesting. :chin: https://youtu.be/S-hZeRQxA0g?si=HbR9TC7-1NvsDnTB Like 2020, don't vote for the man (or the woman); vote for the mission i...
:ok: If there is no objective truth, then your statement "there is no objective truth" is, at most, merely a subjective affectation – self-refuting va...
I grew up before wall-to-wall vidiocracy of 24/7/365 cable tv, video games, smart phones, social media & youtubing, so definitely not because my "earl...
Ad hoc assumptions which raise more questions than they answer – not clear at all. Whatever. I'm not a "Nietzschean" (though I share affinities with h...
And yet you begin with his metaphysical terms "purpose" "telos" "final causes" & "essence". :roll: No. Maps are used to facilitate taking paths throug...
"Responsibility" to whom? "Justifying" other than that "we must"? Is being "self aware" also sub-personal (i.e. pre-self regulatory processes constitu...
A point of clarity: in this context, by "ignorance" I mean to ignore for whatever reason (e.g. naivete, sociopathy-narcissism, acculturation, ideology...
Yes, through tacit experience (via childhood, socialization, pedagogy, trauma, etc) but explicitly by reflecting on experiences. It's the age-old prob...
I can only answer this way: ethics is, as I understand it, the study of (i.e. reflective inquiry into) the extent to which exercises of moral concern ...
