Most of us are not aware of other members' backgrounds, aims and norms. These things are irrelevant to the discussion. The focus on the source rather ...
A female that shows "male-level" aggression is non-sensical. The simple fact that a female is exhibiting the aggression is evidence that aggression is...
Sure, there are still sexist people in today's society, just as there are still racist people in today's society, but that does not mean sexism and ra...
I can't think of a case where the map is never part of the territory, unless you are a solipsist, in which case they are one and the same, not part of...
No. I didn't. When has philosophy every provided an answer to any of our questions? Philosophy piggy-backs on the discoveries of science. It is only w...
Then you were just born this smart and knowledgeable, MU - that you did not acquire knowledge from other sources? In my view, information is everywher...
An AI is a source of knowledge. So if we discovered intelligent alien life you would not be interested in their philosophy? Maybe the issue is looking...
It was a question to you about the distinction between territory and map. Is the map part of the territory? If there isn't a distinction, then that is...
Not to mention you can ask AI for different ways of putting the same idea. Not to mention that people evolve in their writing style. Not to mention th...
The confusion stems from what the expectation of society is. The expectation is not that people that dress a certain way makes them men or women. This...
Seems like philosophy itself could be labeled as mental masturbation. Dood, the content from human beings trained in pseudo-science and other nonsense...
"With a grain of salt" is a 1600s direct translation from Modern Latin "cum grano salis", and salis is genitive of sal, which, in addition to ‘salt’, ...
Are they wrong if they say "God" is the universe? Isn't that the point - that anyone can use the word the way they want, but does it make them correct...
The map is the first-person view. Is the map (first-person view) not part of the territory? I never said that people consider the world as a model. I ...
I was doing both. I gave a number of possibilities and gave a reason as to why you would choose either option. I don't know what you might do because ...
The objective in thinking for yourself is to take every idea you hear from others with a grain of salt, and to even question your own ideas constantly...
I don't necessarily mind if others post a quote as an argument. Sure it's not their argument, but it is an argument and needs to be addressed if it pu...
Yet our lifespans and health have increased, which was my point. Do we still have work to do? Sure. It takes all of us to stop voting for the status q...
I thought my use of the Allegory of the Cave showed that I did, but you are avoiding that point, so I agree with you on this point that this conversat...
Measurements are simply relative comparisons and are part of the shadows (your are essentially comparing different shadows). How do you understand the...
The very feelings you speak of IS your consciousness, and is the mirror used to access things outside of your consciousness. Think of the Allegory of ...
So it's not wrong when other people use the word, "God" in a way that implies that it is male living in another dimension that wants you to do its bid...
I don't know what culture you live in, but here in the U.S. chivalry is dead, and has been replaced with politeness towards all. I hold the door open ...
It's not. There are typically more than just two options in any decision-making process, of which not choosing is a choice precisely because it leads ...
My point is that all you have is your mental laboratory and it is your mental laboratory that is used to investigate other mental laboratories. How yo...
I experience the same thing when coding with AI. You can start off with some basic structure and expand on specific areas, building on what was create...
I'm not disagreeing with anything necessarily. I was just seeing if you were being consistent. So, the question now is: Have you made this much of a f...
I know how to read. You don't seem to know how to write your ideas in a consistent manner. I think the issue is that many of the people on this forum ...
If everything humans do is not necessarily nonsense the the information AI has access to is not necessarily nonsense. You pull the rug out from under ...
And you and every other person on this forum are part of humanity, no? So this forum is full of nonsense? Thanks for contributing to the nonsense. Wha...
I hold doors open for others, regardless of their sex, to be polite. It has nothing to do with gender. To hold doors open for one sex and not the othe...
Ever listen to Rush, where Geddy Lee says, "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice"? You would need to provide specific examples of...
You said, . So if one did not write the post themselves, but merely copied and pasted a quote as the sole content of their post, then by your own word...
And before AI many internet sites were copies of other sites, and still are - with the same information. News networks piggy-backed off the reports of...
Of course it can. How can you even report that you are conscious to me in the "physical" world, outside of your consciousness if you do not "have acce...
This seems to square up with what I was saying about the expectations society has of the sexes is a means of attracting the opposite sex. A woman migh...
Blocking hormones erases sexual differences, just as removing societal expectations removes gender differences. When you remove the distinctions you n...
Exactly. So the next step to move the conversation forward is to DEFINE what you mean by "fly" or "see". Which one is better evidence of the color of ...
In other words, trans people are not identifying as a gender. They are identifying as the opposite sex and the difference is the level of detail one w...
It becomes easier when the expectation is enforced over generations. Being a woman eventually becomes more than just having certain biological parts, ...
All you are doing is conflating sex with gender, so of course gender as the same thing as sex can't be sexist. It is gender as societal expectations t...
It is the society we should be striving for. As I have said, expectations have changed. Having long hair is no longer considered feminine. We were hea...
If everyone crosses the gender divide then that means the society is gender neutral and that there is no such thing as gender as everyone in the socie...
I agree that materialism is false, but not that free will is evidence of it being false. Why do you choose to do what you do? What it the decision mak...
AI gets its information from scraping public websites. It does not make up its own data. AI is trained using various methods that resemble how you acq...
