I don't think a 'framework' is the appropriate way to specify this. It seems much more to do with models, rather, no?
September 14, 2021 at 20:54
A very vague one, until specified.

As Wittgenstein might put it, it would seem queer to doubt someone is in pain based on ostensive displays of behavior indicating them being in pain. B...

Why the talk about 'justification' when this fact of being in pain can be discerned from behavior?
September 14, 2021 at 20:19
I don't see how a 'pain' can be justified. A pain is experienced...

Point 5 demands a necessary conclusion to allow it to hold true, which has not been specified. However, the fact that some people with 'bad lives' tur...

The hypothesis of what constitutes a good life from a bad one is too vague to evaluate or determine for the rest to follow.

Indubitably living longer is a goal anyone would want, eventually available to have as an option. So, I don't quite see why that basic stipulation of ...

But, the audience was fed popcorn, not bread. Although bread is good with circuses.

If you look at the video the horses are running faster than 30 frames per second!
September 12, 2021 at 22:30
I agree. So, what's wrong with living longer?

Funny straw man here. Transhumanism isn't only about hedonism. Solving death has always concerned me. 70 years of life ain't enough for me.

It's a valid question once you read others about how does knowledge become pertinent to the status of fact-hood. Just wondering whether it's the case ...

Could you elaborate on this last part of "seeing as"? I haven't really read that much about it.
September 11, 2021 at 19:24
Just out of curiosity, what would you say about self-immiseration or optimizing agency in regards to Stoicism?
September 11, 2021 at 19:21
But what about reality needs so much explanation? Arent these thoughts counterproductive to living or achieving satisfaction? I mean, if happiness is ...

If wisdom arises from experience over time then are we just concerned with knowledge or at a more fundamental level something akin to satisfaction or ...

That's kind of a personal preference. How do you evaluate any of that?
