What the clock measures is change. The measurement of change is time, like the measurement of space is length. Clock is to the ruler as time is to len...
Sure we do. Our experiences are what it is like to feel light entering the eye and the chemical changes in the brain. An experience is not the thing e...
This is a convoluted way to try and prove whether time is real or not. How about starting off with a definition of time and then we can discuss whethe...

It wasn't replies, but questions that I asked that you need to answer for me to better understand your position. I'm not satisfied with your answers (...
Well no, an image is not the thing the image is of. You seem to be confusing the thing with an image of the thing. Is the image of the thing seen as i...
What is it that keeps the agreement intact? If at any moment I can make an agreement, at any moment I can cancel the agreement. It takes more than one...

Occam's Razor comes to mind here. I don't see much of a difference between these two descriptions other than the number of words in the description. I...

I'm not sure what to make of this. If intentionality is part of the same system (the whole body) then why can't we say that we always behave with inte...
They can't describe in detail what is there. They just know something is there. This is the difference between p-zombies and non-p-zombies. The assump...
Ok, but what other uses? That is what I'm asking. Strange that you can't even provide any examples of what it is that you are trying to say. So you've...
