Janus

Scintillating arguments Charlie! :rofl:

Are you claiming there could be a concept of unity without an apprehension of diversity?

Even after my criticism? :joke:

I don't think 2 is right because the "craft" of sex, as I see it, is not love. Porn stars could be the greatest craftspeople of sex, but no need for l...

What if each frame persists for a while without change? This is the case with projected moving films. Then the present is not 'dimensionless', but sti...

I guess that makes some kind of sense. I think it makes more sense the other way around: Craft without Art is like Sex without Love.

Each frame must have some duration or it could not exist.

It's reason enough to be faux-uncertain. :cool:

Right, no genuine doubt; just the faux-doubt attendant upon the logical possibility that I might be dreaming that I am not dreaming. :grin:

It's quite possible for people to believe things that are not true. It doesn't make sense to say that we believe something that we do not believe to b...

I agree with this, but I think that what is at issue is how we should talk about the differences between animals and ourselves. That is why I have com...

That's right, it's only a part of knowledge. But is there any belief apart from fallabilistic knowledge? Or to put it another way, don't we say that w...

I can take about an hour on the tower of power Long as I gets a little golden shower- Frank Zappa

Yes, that's pretty much just what I have been saying. First is the knowing of familiarity, which builds into knowing-how, which makes possible the ref...

Why must there be "time passing between still frames"?

No, I'm just saying that either, as mere models, are coherently thinkable. What is not coherently thinkable is how they or any other model could be th...

I would say that as a mere model, just as its opposite, eliminative materialism it is coherent. It is when either is claimed to be the absolute ontolo...

Yes, I think we generally operate in a space of knowledge rather than belief. This is the working knowledge of familiarity, of knowing-how, not knowle...

But I wasn't making that claim; I was just saying that the alternate views which constitute eliminative materialism (panzombieism or pandeadism) and s...

I was referring to a dichotomy of views. Apparently you haven't noticed this:

The dichotomy is in relation to what is thought to be the constituents of reality. So, the alternative scenarios (ignoring dualistic substance ontolog...

Sure, but the dichotomous alternative to panpsychism is panzombieism or pandeadism. It seems a matter of perspective as to whether the material consti...

Genius of the Dirt Forum...too basic for what?

That's genius, man! :yikes:

Well, yes, it could be said the image is 'really' in the eye, or in the visual cortex. So moving around to get different viewpoints is just the same a...

I would say the image is not "in" the mirror, but on the surface of the mirror. If it were "in" the mirror, then it would be as @"unenlightened" says,...

I have no doubt we all protect some attachments or other. The truth and honesty of other's convictions are their affair, not mine, unless they try to ...

Are they really passionately convinced or are they just neurotically protective of beliefs they are attached to for some obscure reason? For me my con...

I'm referring to feeling as it subjectively seems to us. I'm not concerned with what it might be 'objectively'. I'm talking about the basic desire not...

I'm interested to find out what specific notions you have in mind here.

I can't find an answer to that question. :smile:

I don't know the answer to that. A broken heart can usually be mended; but I guess it could be irretrievably broken, too, which might be just as bad.

Irretrievably broken body?

Result: :broken: ? Or worse?

So, the brain is analogous to the mirror. In your understanding of this metaphor is consciousness analogous to the reflections or to the reflectance?

Cheers, Cuddles. :hearts:

Really??? I thought the shoutbox was the place to take a rest from "quality", and give the darker forces a bit of a run....

As the name suggests you can look at it both ways. I am really no Jain though. If I were I would not be able to survive as a landscaper! As for Anus.....

Sounds good, the civil engineers are usually more copacetic than the uncivil. :nerd:

What forum do you recommend for...um...Janus? The Dirt Forum? You play there, no?

Yes, or wrecked in the wrong um...

Do the eyes have it? If so, then how do the eyes have it?

Better than Fisting, no?

There doesn't appear to be any one way Buddhism sees things I did say "however that God might be conceived". The number one thing for Buddhism seems t...

Everyone is welcome to "push my buttons" as much as they like. How else will I find out what I am protecting?

Phenomenologically considered, feeling is more basic than cognition or perception. The infant's world is a world of indeterminate feeling before it is...

The feeling is not socially constructed, though. It must already exist in order to be named, referred to and spoken about. As I said before human feel...

Different Janus, man; I've never been to Uranus. Different gender too, the slur to the cur was to a bitch, not a dawg. :joke:

I am not convinced that subjectrive feeling has been shown to be exhaustively socially constructed. Of course all subjective reactions are socially me...
