I would prefer to deal with one reality, defined as actuality. This means that: 1) All experience is objective and subjective. 2) Some experience is a...

Yes, but not for that reason. If reality is to be defined in terms of experience (an awareness event consisting of perception and cognisance), my inqu...

This is more nonsense, given your definition of reality in terms of experience. So, we are done here.

So, they are an encountered experience type of experience potentially informing us of the encountered experience of some neurological disorder. This i...

Are hallucinations real?

If reality is "what we encounter in experience" and experience is "the data we have to work with", then reality is: what we encounter in the data we h...

Fair enough. Cheers. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. IOW, is there a second, third, fourth (etc) elaboration of the meaning of reality (what w...

1) Actuality is accessible through perception (sensation effect). 2a) Events as points in a continuum we happen to be fixed upon. 2b) Awareness consis...

If I make: 1) Reality synonymous with actuality, 2) Experience an awareness event, and 3) Awareness a perceptive and/or cognisant condition, have we m...

See Robert Schirokauer Hartman's scientific axiology. Marvin Charles Katz ("prof" on the old forum) was one of his students. I think that the quantifi...

For those who prefer to conflate mystery (a form of ignorance) and incommensurability, consciousness is a hard problem. I view the "Hard Problem of Co...

Incorrect. Language is not communication, full stop. It is a mental modelling system used by advanced psychosemiotic organisms (i.e., human beings).

Shannon provided a definition of information. I don't endorse it as a general definition of information.

Read Shannon's paper, I'm not interested in defending his work.

Shannon's equation quantifies information, which he defined as the reduction of uncertainty. What I take away from the Mathematical Theory of Communic...

Knowledge is semantic information, which may be empirical (based on experience, such as tacit/implicit or declarative/explicit knowledge), or pure (ba...

I agree. The former is semantic information, and the latter is physical (specifically, first inorganic, then organic) information. I have said that "I...

I agree. Language is a code used for intrinsic and extrinsic mental communication (data encoding, messaging, and decoding). Intrinsic Mental Communica...

I agree.

I agree. I am unfamiliar with CBT and Hume, however; I agree that if Hume's sentiment is that reason is the slave of the passions, it is not entirely ...

I agree, with the caveat that one also embrace one's reason toward the ethical. Morality is modelled by the human mind through the operation of ethica...

Humorous writing style. Best case scenario: grandiloquent. Worst case scenario: word salad. Bottom line: nobody who values their own time will bother ...

Hi, @"CurlyHairedCobbler". @"Galuchat", here. I'm surprised you would admit to having simplistic conceptions of 'reason' and 'truth'. Maybe if you ret...

I rationally chose not to conform.

OK, I'll give you a clue: Bennett and Hacker make the same two assertions, but if you want the elaboration, you will have to read their book. I assume...

Thanks for proving my point regarding lack of credible scientific evidence. No opinion regarding my second question (here)?

Where is mind and its components? As always, I'm only interested that you cite credible scientific research in answering this question. You have not p...

Speaking of ignorance: what part of "Bennett is an internationally renowned neuroscientist" don't you understand?

Oh wow! Big names. I'll have to rush right out and buy those Gazzaniga books then, not.

If you read Bennett and Hacker, you will become familiar with the logical errors which many eminent scientists (e.g., Gazzaniga) have made. Then read ...

So, you have been equivocating. We are done here.

The relationship which obtains between brain and mind is one of correlation, not causation. However, you are free to cite credible scientific research...

The brain processes (computes) organic information, and the mind processes (computes) experiential and metacognitive information.

At least that would be consistent with good entertainment.

Thanks for the links. At first glance, I noticed that the subject of each paper is intention, not volition (will). 1) Haggard, Patrick. 2005. Consciou...

Is this to say that every product of reasoning (e.g., resolving to tie my shoe because it is untied) has ethical implications? Cite credible scientifi...

Volition (Will) is the resolve which sustains intention (descriptive and/or causal purpose). It is a function of motivational intensity (which varies ...

That's what I figured. Cheers!
