I remain skeptical.

From your previous post: I am not a patient person. One of the best things that's happened to me since I've been on the forum is learning how to navig...

As the attached figure shows, the natural range of musk ox (shown on red) does not include Russia. The blue areas on the figure show locations were th...

This is a bad rhetorical strategy. Trying to get us to back you up with @"180 Proof" won't work. He's a pain in the ass, but he's our pain in the ass....

I enjoyed it.

As I indicated in my previous response, I think phenomena you have identified as non-fundamental would all generally be considered reducible. Isn't th...

Some thoughts: You've left terms undefined or at least not clearly defined, e.g. consciousness, emergence, fundamental. If consciousness is somehow fu...

I guess you missed it. I am the Voice of the Spirit of Philosophy here on the forum, self-appointed on the basis of my authority as the Voice of the S...

As the Voice of the Spirit of Philosophy here on the forum, I can verify this is true.

When I was 26, I had zero clues on what is the mind of the average modern Japanese woman.

I am not a fan of Myers-Briggs and I hadn't heard of the other system you described, but I had some thoughts I hope are responsive. First, I sometimes...

This is a really good, nuanced, response. Much better than mine was going to be. Maybe I'll go back and think of something better to say.

Yes, it is a charitable interpretation. And in line with my thinking. Thank you.

Oh, Banno. You should be ashamed. You're just trying to provoke me.

I'll just repeat what I wrote previously - a lot of the discussions on the forum stink because people never get beyond disagreeing on definitions. As ...

I fall back on my experience here on the forum as the basis for my response - many discussions quickly descend into confusion and lack of direction ca...

I think it's interesting that this thread, aimed to demonstrate that definitions are not needed in philosophical arguments, has become a platform not ...

I gave examples, which you didn't respond to. That's not what I said and it's not what I meant. I don't deny that mental acts exist as mental acts. Tr...

I was trying to use language carefully so that my meaning would be clear. I guess I failed, although I put part of the blame on you for not even tryin...

So. Language games, as if you don't know what I mean. I didn't say I don't make judgements, I said consciousness is not intrinsically dependent on jud...

I enjoyed the video, especially the graphics, and even more the narrator's shirt. They made a five minute film out of the book. I don't know if you sa...

I'm not sure, but I don't think this is true. I don't agree. I understand the distinction between types of reason described in your post, but I don't ...

That was a very interesting, maybe the most interesting, part of the book. You had to try to imagine what pain would be like with no sense of personal...

Thanks, I'll take a look. People can argue about what consciousness is and what experience feels like, but it is hard to imagine how it works. "Blinds...

If you find us all that boring, you could go somewhere else. I'm sure you could find someone who wants help with homework on the r/askphilosophy subre...

Answer: One stinks up the room and the other stinks up The Philosophy Forum.

Answer: One smells and the other smells.

By the way, if you are a science fiction reader, I just read a good book - "Blindsight" by Peter Watts. In it, humans meet up with intelligent aliens ...

I've never understood why people think there is any contradiction between believing that phenomenal consciousness is a mental, neurological, process t...

I'm a civil engineer. I took two philosophy courses in college, but I can't remember what we read. I recommend the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, probably t...

Is central Asian food generally spicy. I guess I would have thought it was fairly bland. I'm not sure why.

My list was not intended to be exhaustive, I was only listing cities I've been to.

I just finished Werner Heisenberg's intellectual autobiography, in English titled "Physics and Beyond," in it's original publication in Europe "Der Te...

I like cities in general. New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle. I like Boston, but it seems pretty mundane to me. I guess that comes from familia...

My father lived in Melbourne for three years in the 1990s. He really loved it there. Unlikely I'll make it that far though. Thanks for the offer.

I've been to Chicago twice. I really liked it, although I didn't get to look around much. I really liked the Naval Pier. It was pretty touristy, but t...

Back in the 1990s through about 2010 they were constructing what was called the Big Dig. A monstrous project of new bridges and tunnels. The removed a...

I have no further questions. I rest my case.

Again, you brought it up. You seemed to mean several different things. 1) Referring to personal experience and outlook when discussing philosophical i...

The subject might be an interesting one—Is it appropriate to personalize philosophy?

Let's not clutter up your discussion any further. If you want to continue, we can take it out to the parking lot.

I've thought about travelling around the country to see interesting architecture. Maybe I'll buy and RV. I'll stop by your place when I get to Minneso...

You brought it up, not me. I don't think that's true. Example please. I was dealing with your OP in a straight ahead way. This is a discussion about w...

Baloney. If you don't want to play by the rules I set up in my OP, there are other threads to go too. My OPs always leave plenty of room for disagreem...
