Doesn't mean that it's not deception. like I said it can fool without intent. It makes the stick appear to bend when it doesn't. But like I said befor...

But I am observing the number 1, right now. Kinda sounds like a flaw in reason, I mean why should anyone take your word for it? What makes your reason...
August 10, 2023 at 16:39
I don’t think beliefs can be justified or proven with reason. Reason is rooted in emotion fundamentally and even then we did make up the rules for it ...
August 10, 2023 at 16:08
No I mean that the phrase itself doesn’t really have a meaning. Like all zen koans there is no conceptual understanding of it, so they say. Hence when...

People have to stop with the "does a tree make a sound" line as it doesn't mean what they think it does.

Actually that universe has always existed according to cosmological evidence.
August 09, 2023 at 23:15
Well that also is only what consciousness is. It is awareness of and recognition of what’s happening. I also didn’t think they really rebutted the obj...

It is functional, evidence shows that organisms without a pain response don't live long (as do people who have a condition that prevents them from fee...

It actually does contradict what we know, you know need to know how light works to know that's an illusion. This is just wrong and we know the water i...

Stuff like this makes my head hurt
July 29, 2023 at 19:21
nope, but keep denying reality I guess
July 15, 2023 at 16:52
Already known in that you're aware of the result of the intuition not the thought process leading to it.
July 14, 2023 at 19:07
That's not what the research shows.
July 14, 2023 at 19:06
No, it's just showing what it IS.
July 14, 2023 at 19:05
The vast majority of this thread is wrong about it. It really is just thinking fast and is drawn from experience. Not to mention the success of it is ...
July 13, 2023 at 21:43
Again, you’re not seeing what intuition is and want it to be more than it actually is. Or rather something other than it is. In short intuition tells ...
July 13, 2023 at 21:37
I don't really have disdain for intuition, but I don't really care for people making it out to be something like magic or transcendent when it's more ...
July 13, 2023 at 18:53
Not sure what you are getting at, if you aren't aware of it then there isn't really anything you can do about it. Intuition isn't something you can co...
July 13, 2023 at 18:51
It is entirely true. Intuition says heavier objects fall faster, science proved that wrong. A more massive object isn’t more strongly attracted, if an...

Actually video games are pretty complex but they only appear simple to the average viewer. League isn't just response times, there's so much more know...
July 13, 2023 at 08:25
League of Legends. I've played so much that I just develop a "sense" about situations that happen in game. However that sense is from years of experie...
July 13, 2023 at 01:21
That "limited" meaning is what it actually is. Like I said, it doesn't matter what you think that doesn't make intuition more than what it is.
July 13, 2023 at 00:22
It's not a limited understanding, you're just trying to make out to be more than what it actually is and I'm showing you the research doesn't support ...
July 12, 2023 at 22:57
To put it bluntly, you’re wrong about intuition.
July 12, 2023 at 21:00
Well I’m right and you’re right wrong.
July 12, 2023 at 19:52
My mistake
July 12, 2023 at 19:52
That’s not what the research shows again. Without any sort of training or knowledge it’s no better than a coin toss.
July 12, 2023 at 18:39
except that isn’t true. Intuition is more akin to thinking than knowledge which is why it’s not reliable if you know nothing. Plus science has frequen...
July 12, 2023 at 18:38
All I can say is what the research behind it shows which seems to bear out better than mere philosophical speculation.
July 12, 2023 at 02:07
It’s not my intuitions about it it’s just the simple fact. Even what you cited before about observing people lots of times it’s knowledge, knowledge o...
July 10, 2023 at 17:21
Nope, that's pretty much it. Intuition is improved by acquiring knowledge. That's all.
July 09, 2023 at 22:59
I did read it, but in the end it still feels like the "I" is being assumed there.
July 08, 2023 at 21:09
In the future you might want to start with a summary of what you're getting at an use smaller words, everyone so far doesn't really see what you're ge...
July 08, 2023 at 02:50
you don't prove something is a dog so much as say it is one. Matching IDs to objects is circular because it all comes down to saying it is that "becau...
July 08, 2023 at 01:24
My point is that animals will try to leave but don't see there is an exit, I've seen it many times before (in fact I have to catch them and put them o...
July 07, 2023 at 23:30
You do, we all do, because without that ground faith nothing else is possible same with that you can know things. You cannot prove these assumptions m...
July 07, 2023 at 21:26
Nope. Still doesn’t mean I discretely experience. I could just be a bot after all, or just smacking the keys and yielding this. Can I know the letters...
July 07, 2023 at 21:24
This is incorrect. There is just sensation, it’s not a presupposition. Also sensory intuitions aren’t blind without concepts and there are plenty of c...
July 07, 2023 at 20:58
By acquiring knowledge
July 07, 2023 at 20:35
There isn't a case to make, that's just how pain is. That's also not what I am arguing. Some knowledge claims have a center, where it is irrelevant wh...
July 07, 2023 at 04:52
There's no way to improve your intuitions apart from learning about something, and even then it's not a guarantee.
July 07, 2023 at 04:37
Nope, once again. There really isn't another way to put it, it's not unambiguously bad. Again no, pain is not an absolute let alone and existential ab...
July 07, 2023 at 02:57
Well no, we haven't proven a "we" here, just assumed. Again you're still making an assumption based on your own experience, but you could just be talk...
July 07, 2023 at 01:52
Think you meant historical there, even then it's still not true. But it can be mitigated for what it is, also suffering for the greater good is suffer...
July 07, 2023 at 01:38
Maybe....mayyybe.
July 07, 2023 at 01:36
Given human history yes it is very possible to deny that is bad.
July 07, 2023 at 00:43
Not exactly no, intuition is more just playing off what you already know hence why it’s reliable with an expert. Logically evaluating them won’t take ...
July 07, 2023 at 00:42
Mostly from some forms of eastern philosophy and some branches of non dualism that don't create identity from experience. This also assumes you know t...
July 06, 2023 at 22:42
Say what you will but certainty is more a myth humans tell themselves because of anxiety.
July 06, 2023 at 22:24
Oh no I'm not saying he's an idiot, sorry if that's how it came across. It's just that it's hard sometimes to realize how far our understanding of the...
