Stop diluting sense by its world that is simply its augmentation

[McLight @Jameslight96]

Just as much as rationalism

[Grant H Brenner MD DFAPA @GrantHBrennerMD]

Is panpsychism a spiritual belief system?

[McLight @Jameslight96]

🪄reality is only in appearance, and the determining factor of appearance is in subject-object unity as the only mode.

There never was a distinction, except when we assume reality as appearance🙈

[Joe Campbell @PhilosopherJoeC]

Once Berkeley came along, we should have refrained from making the subjective/objective distinction.

You cannot explain Berkeley if you insist on some sharp dividing line between the two.

This is also proof many do not understand Berkeley.

[McLight @Jameslight96]

The eidetic world of thought is the daydream of form - though still an immediate intuition and sense - ‘tis too abstract for thee mechanical engagements

[Ersatz @ohficklething]

Sleep and exercise are unpropitious to learning. Plato speaks of this.

[McLight @Jameslight96]

No, it’s fine - stay in the cave. Yes, dear; the cave is warm.
No, honey, you don’t have to face the forms

[McLight @Jameslight96]

Appearance of determination —> appearance of determining —> appearance of intuition —> appearance of sense

[Pierce Alexander Lilholt @PierceLilholt]

What are the bare minimum conditions a universe needs before any living thing can appear?

[McLight @Jameslight96]

Husserls bracketing was not as cool as he thought it was

[McLight @Jameslight96]

Kant becomes soooo easy after a trounce in the field

[The PartTime Philosopher @PartTimePhilo]

So, I have a confession. Kant is not the most difficult philosopher I’ve read.

Actually it’s Heidegger. 😳

[McLight @Jameslight96]

Maybe this is missing the whole point or panpsychism is misrepresented itself, but -

just because matter is by the same principle as consciousness, as entangled, doesn’t imply any determination about matter that needs to be found consistent with any determination of consciousness

[Paras Chopra @paraschopra]

I used to believe in panpsychism, but now I’m not too sure.

Take an electron, for example. It simply doesn’t have enough representational capacity to encode complex feelings (and, frankly, no need).

Where and how would it represent pain, pleasure and all the gamut of emotions and qualia that make up our world? Even if it encodes basic valence somehow, how is the readout happening and is it influencing behaviour.

In retrospect, panpsychism seems significantly handwavy. The binding problem - how simple qualia bits combine to produce our rich experience - is a showstopper.

[McLight @Jameslight96]

Rationalist, topologist, what are we even doing here

[Joscha Bach @Plinz]

the hard problem is a skill issue

[McLight @Jameslight96]

@hypereality_ 🌞id love to share my spacetime work it seems you’d understand it

[McLight @Jameslight96]

It’s not the pure determination, pure determining, or pure intuition that should frighten you. It’s the pure sense

[McLight @Jameslight96]

If you don’t conclude by the appearance of appearance that this is already a singularity then you are not yet a serious thinker

[McLight @Jameslight96]

The very appearance of appearance implies a logic that circumvents itself, that is, only a singularity could amount to a duality

[@MobiusDick @MobiusDick]

No Scientific Discovery has ever, not even once, pointed to magic manipulation of a divine creator. Period. Magic creators are fairytales. We die and decompose. End of story

[McLight @Jameslight96]

Maybe the problem isn’t dumb people @neiltyson

Maybe, just maybe, consensus is a systemic and sociologic array of many multitudes, of which this version of lecturer education policy is structurally detrimental

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”

“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)

“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”

“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”

Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”

“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”

Just because you are something doesn’t mean you ever were

[McLight @Jameslight96]

Just because you will die doesn’t mean you haven’t already
