A hint of ginger, parsley and a couple of bay leaves, cooked for hours so the flavours come out - just the subtle aroma of spice. You'd enjoy it. Ther...

Found a pumpkin hiding in the sweet peas. Roasted and soup'd, now sup'd. With a focaccia and a spoon of yoghurt. Still a bit hot, but unbelievably swe...

Me? No idea. Didn't think it important.

The local Dealer just arrived with a fresh copy of Mixed Emotions, Kaleo. Still like to get the CD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ziyd_MXegMk Play l...

Casum in puncto.

For comparison, you have around the same number of posts here, but over only five years, and beginning with "test?". It went down hill from there.

Here's a compendium, for your edification and enjoyment, beginning with that curve where the top of the thigh meets the buttock. And proof that Goats ...

There's reasons I didn't go into academia. Mostly money, but not entirely.

Good stuff, maybe. Although I'm allergic to Youtube, I might have to put up with the itch. Frege was a supporter of Hegelianism, if anything, and the ...

Garum was pretty much the same as modern south asian fish sauce. Yum.

Summarised transcript: Not seeing much critique.

I see two key logical issues here. The first is the use of an existential predicate in first order logic. The second is modal collapse. Existence is u...

I don't think so. The analogical reasoning you employ - arguing that because two things are similar in some respects, they're likely similar in others...

I remain sceptical. But this is impressive.

Excellent stuff. This sets up a novel enquiry into an odd phenomenon, which even a sceptic such as I might find interesting. There's a long way to go,...

... and that maybe makes a dozen or so different definitions given here... "Parts of consciousness"...? Folk here are almost desperate for qualia to m...

Credulous. "We made up the name 'qualia', therefore there must be qual..."

And yet this is the danger of talk of qualia. Well, yes, a gerund, that's the point... a veritable reification.

Being conscious is something we do, rather than a property; similarly, seeing red is something we do. If you think of being conscious as an activity, ...

From the Latin qualis, roughly "what kind?" It apparently goes back to Aristotle, in a different use: The very entomology asks what kind of thing an e...

Some stuff from the thread Nothing to do with Dennett's , and referring to Quining Qualia Intuition pump #1: watching you eat cauliflower. There is a ...

Sure - it's questioned therein. See for example the Stanford article, were four differing uses are listed, each with variations and qualifications. It...

You drop this sentence as if it was clear what a "quality of experience" is - and indeed, if it is to serve as a way of understanding consciousness, a...

Qualia.

Do they like coffee, as their behaviour indicate, or do the really dislike coffee, despite their behaviour? It's a clear comparative, not dependent to...

I understand you are asking something, but it is not at all clear to me, what.

The issue is more, what is it that is being named by "qualia"? The idea was that philosophers define consciousness in terms of qualia. The problem is ...

The red in the red light. Yep. We already have a language for that. And yep, subjective is not objective. But floops are none of them flops, and that ...

It admits an internal referent? "Hanover's hate of coffee"? No, it doesn't. Very much no.

The bit where we should keep the physical substrate seperate from the intention. Here, what is the "it"? Some state of your neurones or your intent dr...

If "qualia" is a collective noun for "red", "loud" and so on, then I've no great problem with it. That seems ot be how it is used in the research name...

Hu? Sorry, I can't make out what you and are doing.

I've been setting out out for years. Not doing it all again. Read my posts if you are that interested. You really should find out about Chalmers.

That's how some (Chalmers?) set out the issue. Are they correct? I don't know.

Good post. I baulk earlier in the paper, at I'm not sire this framing works. It might just be that I am hung up on the thing in something. But is ther...

I can't make much at all of that. Sorry.

I'm not going to countenance such claims. So we won't progress here on that basis. Cheers.

No, we don't.

Sure, Then they are 'just what we ordinarily talk about using words like "red" and "loud".' But there is more going on on here.

Seems so. But is it an hallucination?

Maybe. And? Your behaviour is dependent on their behaviour. Presumably. That's why you ask, isn't it? Isn't it? Point is, you do not need an answer to...

Why, thank you. Your drunk is not wrong. If the keys are outside the light, he has fuck all chance of finding them, then if he must search, he is in t...

See the post just above this. The discussion of relative levels of pain is what decides your next actions. The doing is the thing. Incidentally, the p...

The issue left hanging is how to sort out the inconsistency in our coffee drinker. We want ot know, do they really dislike coffee? But that is to pres...

So on to the other horn. It's seeing the only alternative as to Rejecting intentional attitudes as private objects does not entail rejecting intention...

So onward. Intentional attitudes. Two things to think about. The first is Wittgenstein's observation: Supose we come across someone who behaves as if ...

There's a lot to unpack here, but I think I am rejecting both horns of the dilemma you set. First, let's settle an ambiguity, one that might explain '...
