This kinda breaks down as you don’t really demonstrate we have discrete experiences but just assert we do. Same with a lot of other things in the OP. ...
Not really, I can understand the issues of philosophy without looking deeply into it. I have no anxieties around this but it sure seems like you do. F...
I’m having trouble finding it due to all the pop sci articles. But suffice to say it’s not something apart from normal cognition, it just happens fast...
Intuition is the immediate response you get on a subject based on experience, prior knowledge and culture. In short it’s pretty biased. As for its acc...
Kant said a lot of things but that doesn't make them right. Classical physics was just a model that works at the macro level of things but fails when ...
I have "taken this question seriously" but what it come down to is all I have is experience and experimentation through experience. If that's not good...
Experience. That's about it. If an object like a chair moved on it's own I'd have to consider something like ghosts since most non-living things don't...
Yes it can, this is literally the easiest thing ever. Descartes doubted it first off, well not really but many do. The pain can be doubted, and I have...
Not really. As to not to the point you don't really seem to have one but that's neither here nor there. Also it doesn't really "get into your head" so...
According to general relativity that isn't the case. The laws of physics do explain how we process reality (partly, rest is neuroscience). Kant many h...
From what I read it's more like he is saying that reason alone, absent experience, can't lead to any real knowledge. It's sort of like trying to form ...
All you're really gonna get is a representation. Even our brains only give us a best guess about what the world around us is like, and even then you s...
If knowledge is without meaning then how are you writing this and expecting others to communicate? How do you even know there are others to communicat...
"primordial whole"? Now I know you're talking nonsense. That said I'm struggling to find the point to any of this. If it's suggesting that what we tak...
Considering how complex the brain is, no not really. And like was mentioned before ethics slows down progress (though as stated I'm glad for it). Some...
Again, you tell them that. If you look through my threads with them you'll see it's pointless. Like in these threads for example: https://forum.philos...
It's more like they were trying to use the fact that meaning is subjective to say I can't say they're wrong. It's literally to just terminate argument...
No that’s not socially correct either, again you’re just making stuff up to prop up your argument. Also it doesn’t really matter what Shakespeare said...
Not necessarily. It’s also weird you’re calling it unresponsive to the situation like there is some objectively correct way to respond to situations. ...
I think you’re mistaken. I said I behave same no matter where I go, that “same” being who I am which is considerate. I’m not a different person in dif...
There isn’t a difference between “simple” and “complex concepts. You’re just inventing distinctions between the two. And secondly you can absolutely b...
I’d have to disagree with that link. Reality isn’t socially constructed IMO. It is very much an entity apart from us. It’s why you have some philosoph...
and how are they doing that in the links I give. I’ll give you that their knowledge of science poor but how is it the case in the links? Though I’m al...
I think people on that forum as a whole don’t know enough about science to really cite it. The amount of misuses of quantum physics is already too man...
That's fair, but I don't think they throw it about casually. There is a clear pattern of behavior in their posts that hints at something. I know becau...
Judging from the other users who have more experience with that person than I do it's known, I just joined a week ago and while mental illness isn't s...
I mean obviously right and wrong are "relative" in the sense that it depends on context, because in a different world then there would be a different ...
But I don't think that's what the people in my quotes are saying. I think it's more like just not doing anything since everything is just subjective t...
That's the weird part, his own "logic" negates everything he is saying. Like if everything is subjective and according to you nobody is right or wrong...
So pretty much there is no arguing with him over anything because meaning is subjective and everything just “is”. Or Which again sounds like Buddhism ...
if you thought that was bad check out this gem: Apparently if meaning is subjective then everything means nothing and nothing is right or wrong. No se...
It says it is but it's really not, and there's some users on there who know it. There's more than a couple who just want the place to be an audience f...
Yeah I've noticed that. The forum is part of a magazine that seems vetted but unfortunately the forum itself is not moderated, which explains a lot. I...
So it truly is all bullshit then? I'm just asking for clarity. Let's just say I have a terrible track record when it comes to falling to crazy shit (h...
Like, to give an example (beware migraines): https://forum.philosophynow.org/viewtopic.php?p=652101#p652101 Dude is literally arguing against philosop...
You say that but if you take a look at my discussion with them in the threads where I replied it seemed like there wasn't any point to what they say. ...
well if we are using two definitions then we’ll be arguing past each other. I would argue it is necessary because there are slippery folks out there w...
Yeah unfortunately the forum I got it from has people who think that metaphysics means I can just say vaguely say spiritual bullshit and call it philo...
