I think that maybe you're confusing the law of non-contradiction with the principle of explosion. The LNC, as stated in Aristotle’s own words: “It is ...

The problem is that you don't see that your candidate was a cartoon character as well. No. It was the candidate that you put on the Democratic ticket ...

If something (God) never changes, then how does it cause change? How does an effect of change follow from a never-changing cause? Truth is the relatio...

Then electing someone that has been in power for nearly 50 years and has done nothing to advance your stategy, just shows that you're all talk, 180. T...

The only ones not paying attention are the ones that think this is only a two-man race. You and your pals have Trump tunnel vision. The ones that don'...

So independent, NPA voters are now "holier than thou"? No, Benkei. We are simply tired of the hypocrisy.

As if misdeeds only began when Trump became president. :roll: The size and power the U.S. govt. has accumulated over the years and the way theyve hand...

Then how can you even use the term, "physicalism" and "experiences", when you have no means of testing and all you can do is guess at what they mean a...

Puuhhhh-leeeze. :roll: As if you wouldnt be focused on Trump Jr. as evidence that Trump is incapable if Trump Jr. had a similar story being circulated...

How can the quality of depth in a visual experience be explained within physicalism? What is physical about the experience of empty space? What does "...

It may be more like the cutting out your tongue and cutting off your fingers if voting for Biden. Voting for an old racist white guy that has been in ...

Still a useless contradiction. It amazes me to see all of the mental gymnastics being performed in order to deny the existence of truths or facts whil...

So this is an example of a statement that isn't just the case here and now, but also the case indefinitely. What did you assume to assert this?

Then it is an eternal, absolute fact that at one moment in the universe's history this was the case. So it appears that you can never NOT assume that ...

Did you not just demonstrate that there are absolute eternal facts - that E being true or false is dependent upon the assumption that there are eterna...

The thing that most people tend to forget is any experience or view isn't a direct, clear, unfiltered understanding about the world independent of you...

This leads to an infinite regress. You never end up getting at any fundamental understanding if it is always a step lower than your present understand...

Cant you say that for anything, including your brain states?? Observed brains and their neurons change. So qualia don't exist, but they change? What i...

I think that fits with my use of the term, "measurement". Colors, shapes, sounds, tastes, smells and tactile sensations and feelings are all measureme...

The "small component parts" would still be part of the "illusion", so Dennett can't ever escape his own visual illusion - even when talking about "fun...

If that were the case then language wouldn't be visual in nature. "The grey matter between your ears" is a visual description, pointing to how things ...

But how did you come to understand the underlying "mechanical" processes if not by some kind of observation? It sounds to me that you are simply talki...

I doubt that this is what Dennett is saying. If consciousness cannot be understood by our perception of it, then what does that say about our other pe...

Time is an illusion. Change is real. An object/process doesnt move forwards or backwards through time. It simply changes and how it changes is a prope...

"Going back in time" is incoherent unless the entire universe is going in reverse. Any particular process undergoes changes at a frequency relative to...

Only in the very limited scope of the quantum, not in making predictions in the macro world. The wavefunction is useless in predicting what trajectory...

"Somehow"? So if its always a certain state, and only changes its state when interacting with a measuring device, which would also be made of waves, t...

Progressives? Who are they - the ones voting for an old racist white guy that has been in politics for nearly 50 years? The REAL progressives are the ...

Another 45% think it is necessary to be a registered Democrat, or believe in the myth of white privilege, in order to be moral. Politics... :roll: To ...

"Nat Dyer looks at the humanity of a philosopher who tried to make philosophy more human" Nor is philosophy more or less human.

If time is a loop, what about space? With time as a loop, the distinction between cause and effect becomes irrelevant as every cause is also an effect...

Yet the screen, double slits and the electron emitter are all macro objects composed of electrons and all have an effect on the outcome of the experim...

I'm looking more for an example of what "voting to take away the rights of others" actually entails. What would such an item on the ballot say?

Looks more like you got an indoctrination, a process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically. Any theory that doesnt att...

Then I'm not clear on what you mean by "taking people at their word". The truth is that this scribble or sound, red, is used to point to, or communica...

It seems to me that we start off, as children learning a language, taking others at their word, and only when we experience them use words in a way th...

So meaning is causal, as in words mean what they were intended to mean. The existence of some idea and the intent to communicate it is what caused the...

https://becominghuman.ai/a-simple-introduction-to-natural-language-processing-ea66a1747b32 The key word here seems to be "context", but then context i...

Then either QM is flawed in how it goes about showing that an electron is a wave, or your summarization of QM is flawed. I never asserted that electro...

You're confused. Its your OP that fails to show that electrons are waves. You've only been able to show that the beam is a wave. So if a requirement o...

What is it that i obviously want to discuss, KK? The only thing that I've been discussing is the faulty assertions in your OP, but you can believe tha...

Seems to me that you've admitted that consciousness is involved in some way to say that it has imaginary components, or where else in reality do imagi...

Sure it does. It shows that your OP is unfounded in asserting that electrons are waves, and is not the rest of your OP built upon that faulty premise?

Looks like the definition supports my assertion. Thanks. Sure, but that is the type of association that was being talked about and that I was respondi...

You're still missing the point. All you did was reduce the interval between electrons being emitted and you get the same pattern. The beam is still th...

LOL. Just read what you wrote, bro. You're saying the "beam" is wave and interferes with itself, so if an electron is a wave, then it can interfere wi...

If the pattern is something that "builds up" then the pattern isn't the result of one electron, but many over time. One electron going through every t...

I didn't mean it as a joke. I was simply pointing out how its impossible for meaningful language to not be about the nature of something. Any time you...

the ontology of ontology?

You're the one that made the analogy with DNA. Does DNA intend to copy itself correctly? Copy machines make lots of copies, but where is the intent to...
