We have apparent direct experience of it all the time. By hypothesis, if dualism is true then your mind is an immaterial thing and your conscious stat...

This is what this thread is about, you incredibly incompetent people.

I do not follow your response. I think two distinct issues are being conflated. There is what's needed to make a choice. There you have claimed (contr...

Get off the thread

Get off the thread.

Or, get off the thread.

Get. Off. The. Thread. You are not addressing the op. You are derailing. Go away

Get. Off. The.Thread.

Get off this thread,

You have absolutely no philosophical ability. You don't know what this OP is about, yes? The grey cells won't let you know. Now, address the op or go ...

Try and use that limited brain capacity of yours to write your own op and sod off.

it's my op, so do it elsewhere you rude twit. You discuss the op in a thread,not anything that occurs to you. Start a new thread on whatever you are d...

Get off this thread. You are not discussing the op.

Focus on the OP!! Jesus, you people are unbelievably bad at philosophy! This place never used to be this awful in terms of philosophical quality. The ...

What about me? I showed how consciousness is made of states of pastry and that I am a croissant and that we have much to learn about consciousness fro...

You haven't described anything impossible. You have said that to choose one must select from options. But then you have mistakenly supposed that one n...

Because the op is about an argument for their compatibility. Look, you just don't know how to argue or what the op is on. If you have nothing to say a...

No, because you're just finding different ways of saying 'but the law of conservation isn't true". Assume it is true. Is it compatible with dualism?

Oh, no one is interested in my bakery theory of consciousness. Is that, perhaps, because it is incredibly stupid? Bakers aren't studying consciousness...

What's that got to do with anything? Get out more. Yes it is, it is just that, like most, you don't read the OP carefully - you just see 'conservation...

What are you on about? I have no idea. A proponent of the problem of evil must believe this disjunctive moral principle is true: 1. Either remove the ...

No, how did I admit that? I am using the term to refer to someone who is extremely good at philosophy. If you're using it more loosely to refer to any...

I am using the term 'philosopher' to refer to someone who is employed to teach philosophy in a university and who has a track record of publishing in ...

Are you a philosopher? No, right - for no philosopher would ever say what you just said. I am and you're completely wrong. You assess the compatibilit...

It has revealed that you do not understand the problem of evil. Or how to reason. You think that there is no inconsistency in thinking that God could ...

But that 'wow' was a condescending 'wow', yes? So you were expressing an insult, correct? No philosohical content. Just an insult. Me smells a giant p...

Yes, I would have predicted that. Needless to say, you'd get a C in an essay on compatibilism for having singularly failed to understand the issue. If...

Glenny, oh Glenny- you told me to go F-myself, did you not? I had not insulted you, but you nevertheless decided to tell me to go F-myself. So you're ...

I would like to offer my rival 'bakery' theory of consciousness. Bakers make bread and study how to make bread and various bread products. It is ancie...

If you have a philosophical criticism of the OP, by all means try and make it.

No. Why would it? The conservation of energy principle concerns the behaviour of the material world. The point I have made is that dualism - interacti...

You have failed. Like I say, you're a bad faith interlocutor and then there's the IQ thing if you can't understand why a proponent of the problem of e...

Because that is what this OP is about. It is not about whether the conservation principle is true. It is about whether it is compatible with dualism. ...

That was not the homework, was it!? Go back and answer the question set, not one of your own invention. Write out hundred times: I will answer the que...

Stub toe - material event - causes pain - mental event - shout out in agony - material event. The example doesn't add anything to my case, however. It...

Perhaps you should explain your reasoning. Premise 1 of my argument states: Either remove the evils from the world before subjecting innocent persons ...

I don't understand your reasoning. I think you are confusing descriptive claims with normative ones. Moral constraints do not prevent you from doing t...

So, er, you're a troll, yes? You have nothing to say, but you enjoy Bartricks baiting. That is, you enjoy being scolded by me. Did you mummy not give ...

Yeah, er, that made no sense. I suggest you go away and stop Bartricks baiting, you boring little twerp.

I think the problem here is twofold; a) you are a bad faith interlocutor and b) IQ If we reflect on what an omnipotent, omniscient person ought to do ...

Stop giving me advice. This is not an advice forum. And the pupil shouldn't advise the teacher.

No. It wasn't a genuine question: I was defending a view and asking 'why' rhetorically - it was an invitation to those who think differently to defend...

I never said anything that implied - sorry, entailed - we are friends. And you can refer to me as Dr Bartricks. Correlation, let's remember, does impl...

Normal problem here: inability of others to focus on the topic. Ooo a squirrel. In the OP I argued that dualism does not violate the principle of the ...

I think a more important question is "What are philosophy is true are?"

To 'solve' the problem of consciousness - a problem that only confronts the materialist becasue it is wholly a product of being one - one would need t...

So it is not a solution, it is just a refusal to accept that there is a problem. You can 'solve' any problem by saying 'it just is so'. One can do tha...

Neither addresses the person who is concerned to know how material things can be conscious. It just denies that they have any legitimate concern, yes?

Yes, so it is a clear case of a category error. Consciousness is a state of something , not a 'function'. The view makes no sense at all.

So it has no intuitive support whatsoever. A theory has to be coherent to have intuitive support, for one has to be able to represent it to one's reas...
