Good post. But I think the many worlds stuff renews it though. Since that is completely (super?) deterministic and people have no will over which worl...

Dennett has since responded to the article here: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/04/03/magic-illusions-and-zombies-an-exchange/ "We say consciousne...

In Aristotelian metaphysics, The heart was originally the ultimate thinking organ. When you hear: "I know if off by heart." They are referring to cogn...

why not though? You can imagine both these brains and humans being in 2160. Why wouldn't they both still be thinking of phone chargers?

Hi Tiffany, sorry if this seems slightly long. I think the core issue with the free will debate is that you assume a mechanist philosophy where everyt...

why though? Do you actually agree with everything he wrote about the will and how it manifests overtime including all the supernatural implications eg...

sorry to get back late, so what's your answer to Leibniz's gap? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz%27s_gap

I agree. I've learned a lot reading Apokrisis' posts and he's one of the more philosophically technical writers here. I really only use technical jarg...

I guess so. I mainly stick to PoM threads so don't know the demographic. There is a dearth of us in philosophy overall, especially analytic philosophy...

I don't think the zombie argument has ever been expressed to my satisfaction so I'll put how I understand the hard problem in explicit terms. The hard...

Hi Wayfarer thanks for making this thread. Isn't Strawson advocating neutral monism with this 'review'. I place that within scare quotes because I'm n...

Thankyou. :hearts: I came back because I have an interest in philosophy again. :)

. Consciousness is often described as something like a projection by the brain anyway so I don't think it differs from normal waking experience whatev...

I agree with it, that's why my main interest has always been philosophy of mind. All the other branches are uninteresting for me until we get what we ...

Are you going to make a thread for the second proof soon? I think I have more to contribute to that. I've nearly finished the book, and it has some in...

Yes but we still know there isn't a sound though without having to be told. At least I think we do. I know that sound can't play on this board so perh...

I think Physicalists generally believe everything is matter and motion or describable ultimately by the standard model/ particle physics. They are not...

I don't know much about Ken Wilber. But I did watch a youtube video where he claimed to stop his brainwaves. I think people should be careful about ma...

Hi Apokrisis, I always enjoy reading your posts. Do you have any literature for this claim?

Hi Sam, thanks for the bump and video. I enjoyed your Wittgenstein and NDE threads. That's an interesting video. I've read Koch's confessions of a rom...

In Dawkins' Selfish Gene (which is one of Dennett's bibles) he advocates a type of radical free will: He did elaborate on this in his end notes that t...

Why is it one has phenomenological privilege over the other? After holding the eye in place, if you then close the other eye then the image of the man...

If you push one eyeball are you conscious of two trees or two mental trees?

Sorry, it was another poster who made a thread about light and reflection, but looking back over their thread they were more into the cognitive aspect...

OP, you're not the poster dukkha are you?

You're right, looking back, the entire Audrey plot was more ambigious than I realized. I was under the impression there were enough clues (with Richar...

. The writer in the piece generally (in her Dennett articles or when she is reviewing global workspace theory) denies there is a such a thing as a str...

Re: the hell stuff. It's curious how misrepresented Buddhism appears in the west, especially by Harris and Blackmore. I suspect the 'hell' stuff and a...

Are you asking which parts Mark Frost had a hand in or which parts made sense? If the latter, on a literal level the entire thing made sense. The fire...

Yes loved it. I always think there should be more on the philosophy of dreams anyway. Some too easily take verdical experience and a strong distinctio...

Eliminativism most likely (denial of subjective experience/ appearance vs the reality), I think that's what can be interpreted the "stubbornly persist...

I have a good education in biology and cognitive science so it's hard for me to accept that it simply isn't psychological phenomena. I do have issues ...

If it does exist then it would have to be whatever consciousness is.

I'll try and tackle the issues of emergentism at a later date. I am fairly familiar with that page and systems science. From what I recall (it has bee...

Thanks. So in the same way you can identify that as being identical to conscious experience, can the same not be done for a particular semiotic proces...

btw, this whole abolishing gender thing. Does it not sound a little imperialistic at all? Are you sure all of the other cultures on the planet want it...

Sure, I have a longer post typed out, but I think this can be understood in fewer words. How would your namesake express the identity of consciousness...

I think we need to discuss what is meant by emergence. Does emergence mean new pheonomena being manifested at the top level, like a materialist soul s...

It would become the past of the time traveller doing the changing and so it depends entirely on their person and what they believe. They wouldn't have...

There are various pragmatic arguments for God's existence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Will_to_Believe James' will to believe essay is probably ...

I'm not good with probability but isn't the analogy that it is an infinite amount of time? So eventually there will come a time when you get Shakespea...

I'm still unsure about the evolutionary advantage of dreams anyway. It seems like it should be selected against since it presents false scenarios whic...

This view appears a lot but I'll never be able to consider it because between the time I go to sleep and the time I wake up, I have extensive dreams. ...

I included a wiki article which is three short paragraphs. I'm not sure of any philosophy of mind course that would set something distinct as homework...

It covers similar territory to the Hoffman thread, so that may have exhausted discussion for the time being. However this covers it from a specific ph...

I'm not sure this is true as there is big appeal and popularity in lucid dreaming and wanting your completed free-willing waking-self to be within it ...

Have you considered a career in writing? :)

If this purpose can be made known (as you believe) then couldn't people in theory act against it's will for the sake of acting against it. And so it w...

So I got around to watching the video. It's the same points as the Atlantic article. I did wonder though whether Dennett stole the computer icon metap...

hi, I think the arrow one might be closest to your OP (in that it discusses a specific moving object). https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/paradox-zeno...
