Yes, you logically said that. If 'man' was seen by the majority of people as purely a gendered term, not a reference to a person's sex, then logically...
Good question for clarification. There is a difference between being male and female, and how one acts culturally in regards to one's sex. One simple ...
Yes, they are sex differentials. I amended gender to be more clear: Gender - A cultural expectation of non-biological behavior in regards to an indivi...
No, it is not an empirical fact that when people generally use the word man, that they are thinking it is equally as likely that it is an adult human ...
I disagree. Philosophy is often about unraveling statements and terms to get better clarity of definitions and what we can draw from them. "What is mi...
I said 'good' language. Of course we can have poor and confusing language. Are you advocating that's a good thing? Might as well throw away the field ...
Not a problem, Correct. But does it make sense to do so? First, we would still need a term that denotes that a person is male and adult. It makes more...
Correct, gender is a culturally subjective expectation of the behavior that a person should do in regards to their sex. This differentiates from objec...
Of course, and this depends on context. I am noting that in the general context in regards to sex and gender, 'man' refers to a person's age and sex, ...
Correct. We use the modifiers trans and cis to denote gender. You can be a man, and also be a cisman or transman. "Man" denotes your sex, the modifier...
I really appreciate you as a poster Patterner, but if you don't mind, I don't want to make this political or judgmental. This is about taking the term...
So I do believe that everything has inherent moral value, but some hold more value than others based on the context of the situation. A germ or bacter...
Every object has inherent value in comparison to there being nothing. Meaning the core of morality is that existence is better than nothing. I argue f...
Objectively, we are objects so that can't be the reason. Have you ever considered that we are inherently valuable because we are objects instead of no...
My point is I don't understand how you conclude this if you read the whole thing. Again, your comment doesn't point to what I argued in the paper, so ...
Then I'm going to take your disagreements with a bit less value. If you didn't read it, you probably don't understand it. Correct. But it is a reasona...
I'm sure you'll get plenty of pushback on limiting causality, I'm going to take another approach for you to consider. Lets say you're right. Where doe...
It is the ontology of consequence. Essentially I'm noting that an essential property of existence is that it 'should be'. This is a fundamental. Funda...
I don't think we disagree on the fundamentals here: "an Is that entails what one Ought Not to do." is what you noted, which of course logically leaves...
https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/15203/in-any-objective-morality-existence-is-inherently-good/p1 The above is the full argument so you can un...
The only way to reason to come necessary baseline of an objective good (if it exists) is take the ultimate question of "should there be any existence ...
And yet non-existence means that if good exists, that would mean the destruction of good. Good by definition is what should exist, so it would never b...
Certainly. Existence is good, and it can be measured by actual and potential over time. Morality in human terms is simply an expression of morality th...
A subjective morality devolves into opinion, which means there is no morality that anyone should reasonably listen to. When you state morality is subj...
I believe that if one is to believe that there is an objective morality, the one thing we can consider is that existence vs non-existence is good. Pro...
The problem with JTB boils down to the definitions. True - What is truth? If knowledge requires truth, then don't we run into a problem that we also h...
Incorrect. Hallucinations can also involve external stimulus. "Hallucinations are false perceptions of sensory experiences. Some hallucinations are no...
Just ensuring the accuracy of terms as you mentioned. Just because a physicalist can hold these arguments, this doesn't make someone who holds an argu...
How so? "Physicalism is, in slogan form, the thesis that everything is physical. The thesis is usually intended as a metaphysical thesis, parallel to ...
Very true. Agreed. And this is often a problem I have with broad generalized terms. The general definition of a physicalist is "One who thinks everyth...
From all the debates over it, apparently understanding it! I jest. The 'Easy problem" could more easily be called "The objective problem" of conscious...
Well too bad, I'm going to respect you still for making a good follow up post. :) I think there might have been a misunderstanding between us. If you ...
No, it is not my responsibility to hear a claim from you and do all the work. You provide a claim, you explain with evidence why that claim fits, and ...
Ok, you need to present why you think that. I looked it up briefly and my points don't fit what you claim. Please point out why. I'm also a bit put ab...
We might be going around a little, and that's fine. Its not been an unpleasant go-around, but we might be coming to an irreconcilable rift in the conv...
I may not have communicated this clearly then. No, both states would affect each other. Let me be clear. Lets say that to get vision A, we have two ne...
Yes, its possibly physical. But this gradient is entirely theoretical, and to me, still has the 'pullling' problem that I spoke about. Appreciate your...
I wasn't quite clear on what you wanted, so I'll state what I thought you said. We've seen the results from property dualism, now you want to imagine ...
You have to be very careful here. We have tons of information about the brain and objective consciousness. We can clearly see brain states influencing...
Actually, there is. We have to be careful to not confuse 'plausible' with logical reason that it exists. First, there needs to be an indication of som...
What did you mean by perdurable? No I haven't seen an indicator that thoughts are necessarily non-physical. Why is water wet? Go ahead, touch some. Wh...
The only reason why we don't understand that is because we can't know what its like to subjectively experience as that thing. If we had that, we could...
No because you have to have a clear definition of non-physical, and then clear evidence that exists as something not actually physical. We're putting ...
So what causation is, "A prior state which necessarily lead to the current state" itself would not change. But we just don't know how something non-ph...
