My text never assumed anything about me being rational or someone being irrational. It proposed that if someone is irrational, they seem to be hard to...

Well, I don't have a very complex stance on this problem. Personally, I think it's a general problem in the world that we concentrate on what people b...

I started this thread very clearly with very few arguments in one way or another. It is clearly a thread to start a discussion and it clearly is about...

Not that I have been very active in these kinds of forums for very long, but I have not yet seen a single active discussion about this precise issue: ...

Fundamentally, I don't think that most philosophers care where an idea came from. Even if it came from intuition, it will still be evaluated if it see...

Well, of course the human condition should be taken into account, since we are seemingly unable to completely control it. And I personally emphasize k...

Well, you seem to disregard any point I make about intelligence until I give a robust definition for intelligence, which I can't do. Understandable, I...

This is an interesting point. And I somewhat agree with it. Although, we do have guite a lot of ways to measure things associated with intelligence ob...

I do agree that a person who is not that intelligent is in a precarious situation. An intelligent person can identify true intelligence with his intel...

Agreed... There are many things that evolution makes us distrustful of. But intelligence is peculiar in that practically all the systems we use to ach...

I do agree that no one ever says it out aloud or even thinks consciously that he distrusts someone because that person is intelligent. But the distrus...

Well, the point of the text isn't to venerate science specifically, but to consider the fact that people have a natural distrust of intelligence. I'll...

I do agree that functionally "Something exists" is a useful realization. But when we don't consider it's utility for us and just consider whether bein...

When writing "predict", I actually thought of using the word "evaluate", but it simply felt a little off. I agree that I probably should have used "ev...

You seem to think there is something particular about "something exists" as a logical necessity since being mistaken about it is also a logical imposs...

Think of it this way: you are using logic against an argument where the whole point is that we can always fail at logic. Logical necessity of existenc...

No, I do accept it philosophically, since I do consider logical necessities the highest form of proof. I just don't think even showing something to be...

So it is impossible that you have just evaluated all of your experiences, thoughts, definitions of certainty and existence and proofs and everything e...

Well, this is starting to repeat itself since I would counterargue with the exact same argument and your counterarguments also seem very similar.

Okay, you clearly don't get the point of my argument. Your derivations are logically valid, but our evaluations that they are logically valid, includi...

Or one can simply be mistaken in that evaluation.

Don't misrepresent. I said:"if fallibility is accepted as a possibility". Therefore nothing is accepted as true or existing.

I agree with you that we lack a good definition for general intelligence. But as my example of a thing that is clearly as intelligent as us but can't ...

If fallibility is accepted as a possibility, then even "something exists" is not absolutely necessarily true, since one could just be failing to under...

Mirroring is anything where the way you are is used to predict the way something else is. For example in our language, we just assume that our associa...

If the "natural language" is specifically defined not to use mirroring, I might agree with the broader definition of the Turing test. Mirroring would ...

Yes, and that is exactly a form of communication that doesn't use mirroring - a logical language which is based on definitions. Definitions don't need...

I very much disagree with that our definition of general intelligence should be associated with the Turing test. That would be the same as defining "a...

The problem isn't that evolution doesn't cause things to converge on large scales. The problem is that evolution never creates any kinds of "ultimate"...

A good point. But we have to understand that our evolutionary history with animals is not just similar - it is for the large part the exact same histo...

The mirroring isn't just about associations which can be learned. It's also about the way things are just processed by the brain of your species. For ...

I'm actually talking about fluent conversation here - like what would pass a Turing test. But I do agree, that while it would always be slow and awkwa...

I'm not actually saying that no aliens are similar enough to use mirroring with us - just that us coming into contact with those particular very rare ...

This also means that the Turing test is a bad test for general intelligence. It just tests whether or not something is programmed in way that can clos...

This system is not about straight up solving the is-ought gap since I think that it is unsolvable. This system is about bypassing it by giving a funct...

I guess that is true about any non-expertise irregardless of how simple the subject is, but I would still give an advantage to personal satisfaction, ...

I never said it justifies anything. It solves the problem of justifying ones choice of goals by bypassing it. Something that is not a choice doesn't n...

This I disagree with. At least I haven't met any system that solves the problem of justifying your choice of goals. And I also disagree with that this...

In the very same responte, khaled says that my system prescribes a course of action for every circumstance - just that it does not give simple univers...

In this model the closest equivalent to a "form" is a possibility which is a logically possible state that can be. In this model information limits of...

Hmmhhh... I must admit that I don't really understand what you are trying say. This model doesn't really deal with the nature of truth itself. It deal...

Well the derivations can be justified from circumstance to circumstance. It's just complicated, not undoable. Nothing forces this system to make gener...

"Choosing goals to achieve goals is an unarbitrary way of choosing ones values and desires based on a logically necessary goal of achieving ones goals...

No that doesn't make unarbitrary value judgements since the whole premise is arbitrary. The whole point of my system is that its premise is not arbitr...

Except your willful actions can still be wrong. If you make an action that makes you temporarily more stable, but that decreases your stability in the...

Okay, you are trying to make me either create objective goals (things you use the word "should" for) or say that this is not a moral system. As I have...

So it still seems that we disagree on the nature of the word "should". To me your "moral should" is the same as "according to this objective goal so a...

I agree... human mind is programmed to work in a very specific environment. Lack of stimuli would be such a huge change of that environment that it wo...

And being in a state you don't want to change doesn't mean that you are just lying in your bed doing nothing. When having sex many people are in a sta...

And what happens to the alternative sources of information that actually start creating anti-error and anti-corruption systems to themselves? They bec...
