Doesnt sound very profitable to me but then some companies don't need to make a profit in the stores when their profit comes in handouts to limit thei...

Then Nike is marketing their products to a particular group with a particular political ideology. Doesnt sound very profitable to me. Some companies d...

Isn't that what I said? How is it that Kapernick is allowed to speak for all of Nike's potential customers and shareholders? Did Nike do a survey? Thi...

Exactly. So S interpreting symbol x as representing y has to do with what their particular goal is. Kapernick's goal is to show that this is a racist ...

It is really nice to know that people are coming around to my way of seeing things. This is another thing that I have asserted many times on these for...

When did Banno assert such a thing? This is something that I, not Banno, have been saying for a long time on these forums - that knowledge is simply a...

Because the recorder doesn't have a goal to determine what sounds are useful and which aren't. Hammers and screwdrivers are both tools to get work don...

Well, what is a "view"? What is an "experience" for that matter? How do others' "views" and "experiences" relate to the neurological and computational...

But the "outer layer" of humans is no different than robots. Its just physical stuff - not some mind. That's the point I'm trying to make - no matter ...

How do you make use of information - by moving it? It would help if you took the time to put a little more meat in your posts. You don't provide enoug...

Question: What is done with information? Answer: Meaning. How is that a coherent answer to that question? Does meaning move information? What does tha...

So language is copying something from one mind to another and we're simply disagreeing on the term used for that something. In other words, we agree t...

What would be the cause of the act?

What would information without meaning be? Can you give an example?

I didn't catch the answers to my questions from the first page. When you answered, were you "using language" without communicating? If so, did you rea...

Then its meaning and not information that gets copied to other heads via language use? You still haven't addressed the issue of moving information ver...

It seems to me that inorganic sensory information processing systems can process semantic information as well as physical information. For me there is...

I am informed of many things just by using my eyes and ears, not just what people are saying, but that they are saying something. If I am to understan...

Information isn't in a rule. Rules are information.

Information and meaning are the same thing. If they aren't then what is the difference?

Like I said earlier, the information isn't being moved, it is being copied. The information doesn't leave your head and arrive at another. It now exis...

It started with the OP and Banno's inability to acknowledge and answer tough questions. Information is the relationship between cause and effect. Effe...

The problem with the OP is that it is all information, so you can't escape receiving information via the senses. Words are just different kinds of vis...

Who said all states-of-affairs were nouns? It would be a much more interesting conversation if you weren't being purposefully obtuse.

Well, "moved" would be the wrong word. The information is still in your head. It didn't leave your head and get moved to the listener. "Copied" is the...

How is explaining how to make use of something not moving information from one head to another? And I asked what you were doing if not referring to st...

But if I was a native english speaker it would be redundant and what you mean by "explaining to me how to make use" is explaining what the auditory sy...

Then why, Captain Obvious, would it be redundant and unecessary to tell me, "It is raining", when I'm looking outside at it raining?

If we dont mean the same thing when we use the same word then we are talking past each other. Thats what I said: that your view obliterates the distin...

Isn't the study of color-blindness and vision in general a science that includes explaining color? It seems to me that it depends upon the scientific ...

If we're talking past each other or living in different realities, then how can you say that we are disagreeing? Agreements and disagreements would be...

When you go to sleep, do you need someone to observe you to maintain your existence so that you can wake up later? What happens to us when we go to sl...

Your own definition makes the same distinction I am making. A belief is a feeling and feelings tend to be projected onto things that have no feelings,...

Searle's Chinese Room is a thought experiment that is easily debunked for many reasons, one of which is that Searle never defines "understand" to show...

I'm confused. When I read your post, am I accessing ideas in your mind or the greater mind? Your words exist out in this world that you call a greater...

"Objective truth" is a redundancy. What is objective is the truth. It is objective that the Earth is a sphere, not flat, despite what people believed,...

Yes, it is like the integrated information theory of consciousness. I don't see how it could be any type of dualism as dualism in any form is contradi...

What would the difference between ii and iii be if the automaton had an outer layer that looked like flesh and therefore looked human and behaves like...

As if anyone thought that the perception of EM energy (redness) might be identical to the EM energy. If they arent identical then how can we be referr...

I've brought Graziano's theories to the forum before - primarily his attention-schema theory of consciousness. I believe that what he is proposing is ...

I found this article by Dennett from the same year: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rstb.2017.0342 He states: He then goes on to q...

So there are no "qualia", there is only "virtual glue". Forgive me if I dont see an improvement, or anything different than someone saying, "There is ...

Here's an odd thing: The introduction of the word, "paradox" freezes ethics. Here's an interesting thing: It's not a paradox when you understand that ...

Your replies are an odd thing. So don't.

Think of subjective statements as value statements and objective statements as non-value statements. Subjective statements contain terms like, "good",...

No. My statement is based upon the fact that science has a better track record at solving difficult problems than any other method of investigating re...

What is the brain structure for first person experience to say that both the human and bat have it?

They're just questions to me. It doesn't matter whether they are philosophical or not. They are all eventually solved by science, and philosophy shoul...

Then the purpose is to understand the nature of conscious experience. Unfortunately philosophy doesn't have a very good track record when it comes to ...
