You said that you are able to determine that something has subjective experiences by its behavior - by exclaiming, "Ouch!", yet now you are saying tha...
Daydreams could very well be simulated subjective experiences, or views of some process or event. The only difference between daydreams and nightdream...
Yes, and there are many that don't want to solve the metaphysical aspect because they want to keep it a moral/political issue so that they can use it ...
I quoted you: :roll: That's part of the problem - dualism. You're left with the impossible task of explaining how physical processes cause subjective ...
You said: Then you said: So what you seem to be defining pain as is a unpleasant subjective experience, and then go on to say that you don't know what...
Seeing the world through the eyes of a child is to try and look at the world as if for the first time - without the biases and the things we take for ...
I already said that its information. Mijin is the one that doesnt know what pain is. Are you asking what pain feels like, or asking what pain is? Is i...
If you can't tell me what pain is then how do you expect to tell me how it works? Can you use a word when you don't know it's meaning? You haven't pro...
It sounded like she was saying that biology is ontological and physics is epistemological. Physics, biology and chemistry are different views of the s...
You keep contradicting yourself. You go back and forth between knowing what pain is and not knowing what pain is. You call it a subjective experience ...
Seems like you could say the same thing about biology. The question is whether or not the scales and levels of the universe are epistemological or ont...
What would a perfect model of the cosmos look like compared to imperfect models? It seems to me that it is the nature of models to leave things out - ...
This just causes more confusion about what a subjective experience is. Why do people keep using terms that they have no idea what it means? Is this no...
Haha, then why are you using a word that you don't know what it means. You literally don't know what you are talking about. Then why do you use terms ...
What is a subjective experience, if not information in working memory about the environment relative to your body. A subjective experience is when the...
LOL. That is what I've been asking this whole time -- how human beings learn things. How is a scribble about unconscious processes, and what is the ob...
I only doubt that we can learn things based on what you have said, not what I have said. You are the one that can't explain the difference between con...
What is often used that way? It was a question. Read it again. This doesn't tell us anything about the relationship between mind and brain. All you ar...
As I have said numerous times: Information is the relationship between cause and effect. A bunch of rocks is the effect of what caused the bunch of ro...
Is the brain a metaphor for how the mind works? Is the computer a metaphor for how the brain works, or how the mind works? What is the relationship be...
This is circular. Why is the computer a metaphor for the mind, and not a chair? It seems to me that it is because computers do make judgements (IF-THE...
No. The burden is upon you to explain what pain is. You can only claim that others feel pain because of their behavior. If a computer behaved like the...
Sure it does. It explains that everything is information. The problem is that you just don't like the idea because you haven't been able to supply a l...
Everything you said is to be doubted because you can't explain the observable difference between conscious processes and unconscious processes. In oth...
What is the distinction? Both cameras and sentient beings are physical objects. Seems to me that you'd have just as difficult of a problem explaining ...
If you want to point to where you said more than that, I'd be happy to address it, but it seems to me that you are the one not reading posts, and just...
I never denied scribbles have meaning. I said scribbles are images and images have meaning. Would you have understood anything I said if you never exp...
All you are saying is that we use images and sounds to refer to other sensory impressions which can include other visuals and sounds, or even other sc...
All sensory impressions have meaning to them. Red of an apple means the apple ripe. Hearing you speak English means you know how to speak English. The...
No. Its an effort to get you to back up your own statements. You can't even answer my question about the observable distinction between conscious an u...
If the distinction were sound then there would be no reason to ask your question. Your question stems from the fact that the distinction between gende...
A Man Without Words: https://vimeo.com/72072873 We all think in images, or sensory impressions. Words are scribbles and sounds. To say that you think ...
No, the question only presupposes that we use scribbles to refer to things, not what those scribbles should or should not refer to. It seems to me tha...
The reference to each "symbol" becomes a matter of causal fact. Effects "symbolize" their causes. The tree rings in a tree stump don't pretend to be a...
Your example is to basic and leaves too many questions left unanswered. How does consciously observing scribbles on a page provide knowledge of uncons...
I'm not one of those asserting that the mind is an illusion, or doesn't exist. What I'm saying is that our view of the world as "physical" boxes conta...
Given that our knowledge and understanding of brains is in the form of conscious visual models, if our minds are illusions, then so is our understandi...
Then how do you know that minds or images don't literally exist in computers? Its only a hard problem if you're a dualist. You have to explain how cer...
Like I said, I sounds like a meaningless contradiction. I asked the question to get clarification. Asking a question isnt making bizarre statements. A...
