I hear you. I've been through that phase is life. But, eventually, some theme in education is arrived at. One tends to learn from the experience, and ...

Then what do you think is the best way to address this? It is the most important point; but, I'm at a loss as to how to implement or even devise it. W...

Yes, I think indirect realism doesn't necessarily have to be at odds with transcendental idealism. How, I'm not quite sure.

Awesome post Mww. I don't know what to say. When does one ever reach an understanding of any particular philosopher seems to be the question here? Wic...

I'm not sure. I think that my assertion isn't really that different from claiming that God is not something that can be talked about. "It" (God) has n...

What does anyone else think about how education should look like or care to criticize my own conception of how it should look like?

I agree; but, think that it is not irreconcilable to assert that indirect realism is at odds with idealism.

Thanks for the paper. I think Wick's account is still valid, just misconstrued. His point seems to be that the subject-object distinction is inescapab...

A subject can't exist without an object to delineate the two. But, if God is everything, then the issue is inchoate?

Is this just a misconstrued thread where language went on holiday? Maybe God has subjecthood?

Nice analysis. Yet, most religions, perhaps excluding Judaism, talk about God as a person or as if "It" was a subject residing in the world instead of...

:pray:

Talk about a gross overgeneralization! Or not...

Now, with the theoretical points I mentioned, outlined. I think, that the most promising recent development in education is the emergence of MOOC or o...

@"Banno" what do you think?

The interesting fact that arises from this is that you can go many ways with this line of thought. It could imply monism or panpsychism or transcenden...

Under Schopenhauer's understanding, mind as primary subjects, that can perceive themselves as only subjects. This is where the loop between subjectivi...

Somewhat tangent quotes from Wikipedia's quote page on Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra: Ich sage euch: man muß noch Chaos in sich haben, um einen t...

I'm no expert on Nietzsche; but, he talks about what you mention in your OP about people being submissive to traditions and customs or more specifical...

Nietzsche is the first guy that comes to my mind. I feel as though you might be right, but how do you account for creativity?

Sorry, I messed up the ordering of the images. Might have caused confusion. I corrected it now.

Yes, I think solipsism deserves a mention here. Each mind exists in its own subjective-objective nature. But, the world as we know it is composed of i...

Here a pic from the Wick's book to give you more content: /uploads/resized/files/m0/b6j9cs83sx3hnhe6.jpg /uploads/resized/files/5t/35smfxnz0s97qzik.jp...

Making a major investment in buy a quality keyboard and quality headphones to begin learning how to play the piano. Looking forward to accessing more ...

Yes, but, for the sake of discussion we are talking about sentience or consciousness. He does go on to say the following: What do you think?

No, that would be nonsensical. To say that your mind is in your head and your head is in your mind seems like a legitimate linguistic expression. Is i...

Interesting. I take it that the goal of Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, and others is to quiet down the mind and focus on the awareness part or listening part...

Chicken or egg? It seems to me that we come to know "emotive content" before we come to learn it's an effect on other people and thus affect in oursel...

Yes, you have left out the harpsichord organ, and the piano! Yes, indeed. We seem to have some sort of output in terms of the need to express emotions...

How? If math is the language of the universe, then what's music the language of? Wonderful piece of music by the way.

Where does he acknowledge this in Naming and Necessity? Quite interested.

Something I have noticed on these forums is the fact that posters often end their post with a poem or music. What is trying to be conveyed here when y...

I don't think there's anything worse than the utter debauchery of preying on sympathy. That even made me feel uncomfertable.

Wanna get my old job back as a cleaning guy at the cinemas. Was such a fun job. Everyone is young there, the managers are understanding, you get to ch...

Well, that might not entirely be a performative contradiction. What I meant to imply is that the self seems to be a unitary entity. When someone speak...

Isn't that a performative contradiction?

Just some tangential thoughts, but if you combine this social credit system along with China aggressively pursuing Generalized-Artificial-Intelligence...

Hasn't it been pretty uniform in manner and policies since the ruling of the communist party? I'm not very informed about the political science of Chi...

Always. There isn't much to provide. It's anyone's inner voice. But, there's some sort of duality here. When you read this text, don't you "hear" your...

I can "hear" your voice when I read your response. Every time I read a book or anything in language I have a voice in my head reading it aloud to me. ...

I'm not sure. I will have to sleep over it.

I'm confused creative. What's the problem with first person reports and third person descriptions here?

So, I take it you don't like China. Many people don't but I'm more inclined to take a step back and ask is a social credit system a necessary evil? Ba...

Well yes, to an observer. But this is trivially true and the author didn't seem to state otherwise.

I can't find anything wrong with it.

I don't understand what you are objecting with respect to the quoted text.

Not to confuse the meaning of a description for rigid designators. The two co-exist; but, can differ in meanings in other possible worlds, de re.

Today, a meter is defined as the length of the path traveled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. A second is the d...
