Weather and climate again. It’s very hard to tell exactly what the weather will be like on a particular day even one month away, but I can guarantee y...
https://news.yahoo.com/taking-page-authoritarians-trump-turns-151748832.html Apparently Trump wants the State Department to release full unredacted ve...
Or do not admit of things that are either beyond all possibility of anyone’s experience, or else contrary to experience. All claims about God are eith...
I think that the meaning of words is a posteriori, and analytic, but that necessity tracks with a priority, not with analyticity. Given the a posterio...
I feel like I should add that my use of the four temperaments above is not so much as character types, as they are moods. I found myself cycling throu...
That may be the etymology of the word but you know that’s not its meaning in this context. In this context it means the capital-owners, in contrast to...
"Normality" is relative. In one sense, things have never been "normal". In another sense (the one I take Punshhh to be using here), "normal" is just t...
I accidentally re-created the four temperaments in my own self-analysis, which inclines me to think that there is some conceptual use to them. Here's ...
Yeah pretty much, though I think the underlying reality is agnostic to QM interpretation, as they work out to equivalent results: from an a given obse...
The human hasn't done the observation yet, so the human isn't entangled with the electron / hasn't collapsed its waveform / hasn't split into multiple...
Yeah, the left-or-right thing isn’t meant to apply to the twins, it’s just a clearer example of the butterfly effect. A tiny insignificance change can...
Moods are just an example of a subtle non-rational brain process that can go on to influence your life in the future. They’re not at all integral to t...
I don't pretend that my rejection of solipsism is very much more than "let's not", albeit with pragmatic reasons why it's more useful to "not". Earlie...
There is no difference between those on my account. The existence is the cup is consists entirely of the potential of certain experiences. That potent...
Not directly. But they're dependent on previous beliefs, which are dependent on previous experiences, which are dependent on previous choices, which a...
You have heard him speak, right? He can barely get through a single sentence without fucking it up one way or another. I'm not saying that his idiocy ...
All there is is experienceability. I don't know why it's so difficulty to communicate this difference, between something being the kind of stuff that ...
Probably not in that direct a fashion. But your response to the ideas of atheism or theism would depend heavily on your other life experiences, which ...
You seem to be thinking of the brain as though it were a gas, with its processes predictably correlating with the things that you list (temperature, h...
Libertarianism in the United States is generally associated with the right. There are some left-libertarians, like me, but we’re either a minority or ...
They don’t usually call it such because they’re usually pre-Kantian, but basically all representative realism is transcendental realism in Kantian ter...
Nope, my view is that statements must be falsifiable. That’s exactly why I reject all claims of unobservable things: they could not be falsified. And ...
Yes, of course. It's only massless particles that are lightlike, and so have an existence that (from their frame of reference) consists entirely of th...
To be completely fair, Trump was asking "what do you want me to call them? Who do you want me to..." and Biden suggested "Proud Boys". It is hard to m...
Phenomena are things that are experienced, by definition, so those are the same thing. And I’m saying there’s nothing more to those phenomena than the...
For a very quick example, ontology has an impact on the possibility of the existence of God which has an impact on people’s ethical views and thereby ...
“Observation” in a quantum mechanical sense happens even in a universe full of nothing but gas. Our human observation is just a complicated form of th...
I thought Quine's holism seemed obvious when I first heard about it, but then I was already a falsificationist by that time, and from a falsificationi...
I'm not sure if you're questioning the "physical systems" part or the "chaotic" part. I'll admit that I'm not absolutely certain on the "chaotic" part...
You seem to be arguing here for a critical rationalism, which I also support. But that's an epistemological position (which particular beliefs are jus...
Brains are chaotic physical systems, which means they are extremely sensitive to initial conditions, and rapidly diverge in their future behavior base...
How is language something beyond experience, or behavior? It’s something we do to each other, and experience each other doing — as well as something w...
The stuff about the Higgs etc is really an addendum to the overall thesis, though I do think it's one of the more interesting things in there. The ove...
I don’t know, you’d have to ask a representative realist how they account from that. I think their view doesn’t make sense, that’s why I disagree with...
I’m not completely sure I understand your question, but if this helps answer: it’s a kind of direct realism wherein subjective experiences are just sm...
It is possible that oneself is the world, sure; that self and world are the same thing. But then you just have solipsism, which is trivial: even if th...
I did a similar thread to this a while back with a bunch of more specific questions: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/7036/whats-your-philoso...
