No disagreement. But the word does not only represent one instance. It allows a multitude of similarities that pass the bar to fit that label. Differe...
Thanks for clarifying. I wouldn't even say could be different, it absolutely would be different. Physical and non-physical things, even if we didn't k...
Poor word choice on my end then. "Identify" instead of 'make'. Completely agree. But lets make sure we're on the same page here. The reason we can't k...
Right because the copyright determines the level of similarity to the copyrighted version to say whether you have the legal right to profit off of mak...
Lets be very clear here. 'Same' means 'identical'. Identical meaning. Equivalent means that something is the same besides its existent location. If I ...
Just a bit of science about it. https://biologyinsights.com/the-neuroscience-of-dreams-what-happens-in-the-brain/ My advice as always with philosophy ...
I see. Basically a violation of the conservation of mass and energy would be something non-physical. I can also get behind that. Dreams are a physical...
I don't think we're all that separate from one another. I just view subjective experience as the experience of being physical being over time. In othe...
I looked for your book today and read your free introduction on Amazon. Two problems for me: 1. No digital copy. 2. Far too expensive for a first time...
Thank you, this clarifies the stance you're taking. Energy being limited seems to be a physical property, though maybe you mean something else here. S...
Certainly. How I define non-physical is, 'That which is not comprised of something physical.' For me there is a strange notion in science that has not...
What is physical shouldn't be confusing. What you're confused about is what is 'non-physical'. What is your clear definition of 'non-physical'? Then w...
Where did I say that? You create a definition of a song that follows a general pattern of tone and melody. A copyright, is literally the right to copy...
No, just your work. No, I'm pretty sure that's actual philosophy. Philosophy is not just an opinion. Its a discussion of logical foundations. You do n...
No, by fact it is not the same Wayfarer. Same being identical. Are a pair of twins the same? Similar, but not identical. Again, lumping things into a ...
No, the melody is not the same. It is similar, which is a very distinct difference. If I play the song in two different places at the same time, they ...
Can you prove that? Can you prove a bug has a mind's eye, can imagine, and can experience anything? Isn't a fruitfly just an organic mechanical object...
Absolutely. We can't go around calling everything 'physical' all the time in normal conversation. It is a great way to compartmentalize a certain set ...
Ok, we're in agreement here. Just because we say they exist independently from instantiation, doesn't mean they do. People say and do a lot to organiz...
Ha ha! Then I have no idea how we got here. Mental causes are really physical causes so I see no real difference in them than any other cause. Causati...
Of course its physical. Let take music for example. The physical notes I write on a page. The physical intstrument I play it with. The physical ears t...
Sure, this is a common mistake. When you 'see' blue, its light entering your eyes, bouncing around and being interpreted by your brain as an experienc...
Don't. Just address my arguments. Trying to attach an entire to theory to my arguments is a straw man tactic. I have a very simple point here. "Clearl...
I appreciate this, as its not easy to define something you've been casually using for a while. What is the 'tangible' universe? Because 'tangible' as ...
So a process or verb? But a process and verb is an object or set of objects in action. Feel free to just make the argument, no worry. :) As it stands ...
No, I don't. The problem with ascribing me to one 'genre' is that I have no idea if I ascribe to everything in that genre. What I'm posting is not com...
A physical process is still physical. It doesn't become some type of entity that is separate from what is physical. You can classify physical processe...
No, I'm dismissing it because you can't show that it exists. You need to explain what it is to have a non-physical thing exist, then demonstrate that ...
What was your point? No, consciousness is simply a more advanced form of computation. We observe consciousness with objective criteria, and subjective...
No, I am simply asking to show something apart from the physical that exists. "I believe in unicorns". "I believe in God." "I believe in non-physical ...
No, not this time Wayfarer. You and I have discussed this plenty of times in the past, and I have provided citations. My claim is the norm. Feel free ...
And this is the problem. When I ask you to clearly point out what you mean by something that isn't physical, you instead put the onus on physical. If ...
And what about the other points? Not at all. When two people argue whether Gandalf the grey was 6 feet tall or 5 foot 11, they are not doing philosoph...
By what means? Its the current scientific consensus. Take an instrument. Take air. Alone they are physical substrates. Combine them together over time...
Coming back to this one after a while. Because those claims have already passed scientific rigor. Years of research, peer review, and challenges using...
Fantastic. AI knows the world through language models. How it, 'understands it' is a subjective notion that we have no more understanding of than a pe...
Welcome to the forums! First, I would see a psychologist if you're having issues dealing with depression or emotional issues. Philosophy can when we'r...
Because the elder sees that everyone left has brown eyes. Its the same as one person who doesn't know if they have blue eyes looking at other blue eye...
Let me think through it again. The elder has green, first person view doesn't know if they have green, brown, or some other color eyes. After all the ...
What you are looking for is a way to find rational or cogent inductions. Read my paper, it answers that. I'll post the answer here but you probably wo...
Ok, and I might be wrong on this, but I'll put my logic out. Once all the blue eyed people leave, then everyone else sees just brown eyed people and t...
There is no 'mental' reality that exists apart from the physical. — Philosophim Them. They are physical. Their brain is physical. Again, this is very ...
To clarify, this calculus is to see if they have blue eyes. And I mixed up colors, I meant brown eyed people, not the elder. Once all the brown eyed p...
I see, the detail I was missing was not thinking in terms of days later. It just takes glossing over one detail to throw you off. I can see that worki...
