Thank you, I'm glad its something new to think about. That statement only makes sense in relation to the sentence prior. We can come to reasonable con...
No moral good is ever about what people simply want. If I desire to murder a person, no one sane would call that 'good'. "Desire" in this case is, "Wh...
Too bad, that's the definition of good. What you're really asking is, "How do I know if I ought to do this?" In which you can discuss and debate tryin...

A few things to add to this: Reason is simply identifying something logically. A leads to be, or A sometimes leads to B for example. Sufficient reason...

I don't have a lot of time to dive into what you're saying, but you might find this post of mine links into yours. https://thephilosophyforum.com/disc...
Sorry for the delay Bob, my work and life have recently picked up quite a bit, and I have not had enough time recently to sit down and address your po...
I think so, but this is usually handled with the terms empirical and non-empirical. Both experiences of the empirical and non-empirical are real. The ...
Understood. But this is a different claim then, "Innate knowledge apart from experience". Its not knowledge. Its instinct and being. We do not have to...
How is it not real? Its a real experience. Its our interpretation by noting whether our real experience can be accurately applied beyond the current e...
If reality is 'what is', then isn't anything we experience reality? Again, what it seems you want to say is there is a distinction between the classic...
It was more to note the point between apriori as 'without experience' vs aposteriori as 'with experience' and your note that there is a difference bet...
Yes I just wanted you to read section 4, but there's no direct link. You can ctrl+F and type the phrase in to find it directly. I'm also not trying to...
What helps with productivity is not, "I should be productive". Silence that. What you should be asking yourself is, "What do I want to accomplish in l...
I was wondering how to tackle this post as the entirety of apriori, posteriori, analytic, and synthetic distinctions can get messy. Further, apriori k...
I don't think we're in disagreement with the idea of apriori, just apriori knowledge. You're using math, but as I'll note, I still don't see that as k...
I misunderstood the question then. To tell the age that a house was built, you need verifiable records and trust in their accuracy. No, I'm not saying...
It depends on your definition of 'true'. If you mean 'true and false' as logically valid, that's not the same as 'true means what is real'. 'Real' bei...
If you understood the essential properties and context of what grue and bleen is, then yes. Notice I say context, because the context of what grue is ...
Ha ha, glad you got the reference! It is accurate because it is not contradicted by reality, and that's it. If I can hold a word, phrase, or set of bu...
Welcome to the forums! For beginners I don't recommend going to school, use the internet to do that! Here's a 30 minute summary of philosophy. https:/...
Accuracy is point 1. 1. Real life effectiveness As long as an identity and its application are effective, or not contradicted by reality, people will ...
No, that's not what I imply in my work. There are two types of knowledges, distinctive, and applicable. Distinctive knowledge is the knowledge of iden...
Ha ha! True, it is! And I greatly appreciate it! I've enjoyed my conversation with you Patterner, you write clearly, intelligently, and I always respe...
Correct. We would not be able to fault them. Name creation is simply that, name creation. If you read my paper, I actually cover this with a sheep and...
My apologies on the long delay on my reply! I had intended to reply to this another time as I had some other conversations in play, and only remembere...
This is part of it, yes. "Privileged" knowledge is really just simple knowledge that has been tested and confirmed so tightly as to be assumed to be '...
I think we're going to have to agree to disagree here. I think you're coming at this as a question of 'what we want', then 'what is most likely'. You ...

That still doesn't mean conscious isn't physical. That's like saying, "We don't understand how rain works, so obviously its not of this world and God ...
Correct. If reality is not contradicting those identities, then they hold. Meaning we can identify reality in multiple ways as long as reality does no...

Ha ha! No, I genuinely respect Chalmers. How do I explain this...human beings form knowledge and outlooks on life from their perspective. This perspec...
Oh, I don't agree with it. I just don't have a problem with it. When he defined what it was that was separate from 'physical', I understood what he me...
I highly disagree Tim. Without logic, philosophy is simply imagination and emotional exploration. These are elements of philosophy, but the tie that b...

Then please explain how it can be moral. This is a lot of assuming. That would be like me saying, "Assuming people have a good reason for stealing you...
