As Shakespeare wrote (Henry VI, Part 2) - "The first thing we do, let's retire all the lawyers."

Oops! Oops!... Shit!... Ouch!... Will somebody please get the phone.

In Australia they refer to them as "numbats."

She is one of the smartest people I know.

I think we all can agree this is the greatest, most ironic, thread in the history of TPF. We owe thanks to alan 1000. I suggest you pin it to the top ...

I have a friend who has, as she puts it, no minds eye. That doesn't mean she doesn't have visual experience, i.e. qualia. She sees things the way we d...

Much of what I know about how the mind works is based on paying attention to how my mind works. I think introspection is the source of a lot of psycho...

I've read it, but I'll read it again. You say "without having to refer to Taoism or Kant or quantum physics." I don't have to refer to Taoism or Kant....

Your question was "Any examples come to mind of sciences or scientists that do?" I can see I didn't answer that question very well, although I think m...

You asked me a question and I spent significant time and effort providing a respectful response. You did not respond to that.

Not according to the Law of the Excluded Vittles.

PBJM&S&M sounds awful too.

Yes. Exactly. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/download/2705/YGID%20small.png

Also, if you use that stuff, you can't make peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. PBJ&M sounds awful.

I've been rethinking this. Strikes me that if what I say here is true, Taoism as presented in the Tao Te Ching is also psychology. Which it is, of cou...

Since the item you are discussing is located in the United States, you have to spell it "color." Just a thought - we would be missing all this if we a...

I didn't object to "shouted," it was "literally." He used "shouted" metaphorically, i.e. figuratively, not literally. Literally would only apply if he...

I participated in the old forum, but not to the extent I have here. I can't even remember my user name. So I'm glad you've been able to fill in the ga...

If we're going to talk forum history and mythology and stuff, we should not forget the heroes who have fallen on their swords or had their swords fall...

I have been told that such language here on the forum is "hate speech."

I don't think I'd say "well on its way," but I think cognitive scientists and psychologists have made significant progress. Either way, that's not wha...

The things you are saying are very alien to my understanding of the world. I will watch the video.

Neither of these statements is true. You haven't provided any evidence that "Scientists examining "the hard problem" indicate how, regarding this ques...

Given the limits of my understanding of phenomenology, it would be silly to take my statements as anything more than a first impression.

The sources that @"Joshs" and @"Wayfarer" linked me to, which were written in mostly plain English, were interesting and helpful. As I noted in a prev...

Science is one way of looking at the world. It's a good way, but not the only way. Subjective experience is not something magical or exotic. We all si...

As I noted, I've thought about this a lot and I'm not at all satisfied with what I've come up with. I'll just throw out some ideas. Kant says time and...

No evasion. I don't see it as relevant.

Yes, well... Obviously, the idea isn't original with either Rorty or me. Seems to me that from a certain political perspective it is self-evident.

This says a lot about you and nothing about me or my ideas.

Forgetfulness. We've forgotten that working people are the heart of our country and the Democratic Party.

You should look up the meaning of "shout." Also "literal."

Is it possible this is what @"alan 1000" is talking about?

Right-wing sausages? Have you been talking to @"Jamal"?

https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/download/2705/YGID%20small.png

I have no idea what this means but I do love sausage.

There is no joke. Why are you looking in here.

This is something I've thought a lot about, with much frustration. I'll try to come up with a response tomorrow.

This gets at something I've been thinking about as I read the SEP article. Phenomenology isn't really philosophy at all. It's psychology. So much of i...

I wasn't questioning that people, including well-known philosophers, have made the distinction. But I think the important line of distinction is locat...

I took a look at both of these sources. I finished Wayfarer's and about halfway through Josh's. I will read the rest. They were exactly what I was loo...

I'm a bit lost with this kind of language. In a previous post, I wrote that I didn't hold much with phenomenology. Since then, I've decided to put som...

I think I understand, but I disagree. As far as I'm concerned, we can leave it at that unless you have more to say.

I'll admit to some gloating, but I try not to show it too much. The US needs two functioning political parties, both willing and able to govern. But t...

When this started, that is what I thought we were talking about, but @"Metaphysician Undercover" didn't seem to be making that distinction.
