Is it though? Seems to be a different explanation of the same phenomenon; one with fewer entities, no self-contradiction, equal explanatory power, and...
Well, I once held that view as well... Joe watches a car accident happen. A brown car ran a red light and crashed into a blue one. Joe knows the drive...
What's wrong with saying that they believed nothing was wrong, but after all night passing without change in their condition, they began to believe th...
p1 Being tricked requires not knowing your being tricked. p2 Tricking another requires knowing you're tricking. c1 Tricking oneself requires knowing t...
Not really. I disagree with the framework itself. I acknowledge that many, if not most, folk talk in ways that lead to self-contradiction and/or incoh...
If my mother had not given birth to me, I would not be here right now, in this moment. This conversation could not be happening if my mother had never...
I admire your tenacity Sapientia. It could use a little better baseline for judgment. Here's what's happening... I've used a phrase in a way unfamilia...
These options offer little more than unnecessary and unhelpful restriction to the considerations here. My notion of what counts as a lie need not exha...
We can look for keys in the kitchen even when it is not the case that we believe that they are in the kitchen. However, this doesn't negate the idea t...
It's not so much that I haven't heard of such reports, it's that I'm questioning the reporting itself. I do not see how any of it qualifies as deliber...
I am existentially dependent upon my mother, regardless of what happens after I come into the world through her womb. My existence yesterday, today, a...
No. The explanation is as clear as a bell and you've still misunderstood. No. Introspection is existentially dependent upon language. Language upon ot...
Yeah, I'm at a loss... It's a foreign notion. Could you elaborate, so I can know more about this notion of how one can deliberately misrepresent their...
When someone believes that they know something that they do not, they hold false belief about themselves. Holding false belief is neither necessary no...
That's true Sapientia. That was the explanation you offered for saying that "introspection requires others" is 'demonstrably false'. Well, you demonst...
So... We come to talk about our beliefs by virtue of language acquisition and metacognition(introspection). What if we've gotten things wrong? Not in ...
The chickens, ducks, and all the other animals see me, and if they are hungry they come... Why? Because they believe that they will be fed. They do no...
Yes. I am painfully aware of that fact. :wink: That's not my problem though. Rather, my problem is showing how that kind of talk is (a big part of)the...
p1 Introspection requires language. p2 Language is social. C1 Introspection requires that which is social.(from p1 and p2) p3 Being social requires ot...
Beliefs are not mental states Banno. Fear is a mental state. Being excited is a mental state. Being confused is a mental state. Being content, relaxed...
Sapientia is evidently hung up on the idea that he can think about his own thought, belief, and 'feelings' when no one else is around, and dubiously c...
All belief is meaningful. All meaning is attributed. All attribution of meaning requires something to become symbol, something to become symbolized, a...
No. I'm not kidding. Valid refutation is required. In short... Introspection is metacognitive Metacognition requires language Introspection requires l...
We can get things right about thinking and believing creatures, and thus about ourselves, but not all by oneself. Be careful who you trust. Some folk ...
A complete picture of "belief" requires eliminating the talk about different senses by virtue of effectively combining and subsequently exhausting all...

I would not agree to saying that the way all beliefs are related is logic. Doing so would render logic in such a way that allows it to be illogical, b...
It's not that complicated. One always know when they have just said something that they do not believe. An honest speaker will immediately correct the...
Knowing that 'X' is false makes it impossible to believe 'X'. I believe 'X' about myself. I cannot do both, know that 'X' is false(about myself) and b...
Since lying is deliberately misrepresenting one's own thought and belief, and it is always done in situations when the speaker believes that they ough...
I'm listening Bitter. I suspect that our criteria for what counts as being a lie differs. Does sincerity matter to you, or does truth? That makes all ...
All explanation is belief-based. All explanation is grounded upon belief. The above makes little sense in light of that... Some explanation is sincere...
