... they also hate white Europeans for wanting a more balanced approach to immigration ... — flannel jesus

I won't ask a Kantian to get a cup out for tea. Heaven knows what might happen. — Banno

I would have thought that, where a metaphysics leads you to count two cups where there is otherwise but one, that alone would be grounds for doubt. — Banno

See how metaphysics leads one astray? — Banno

I think it clear we do not know what happens when we die. All the rest is story telling. — Fooloso4

A congenital problem with idealism is that, in denying that things exits outside the mind, it throws out the existence of other minds. Of course over the last few hundred years various arguments and excuses have accreted around Kant's thinking, but it seems difficult to see how we cannot be sure of the chair on which we sit, and yet we can be sure of the folk to whom we talk. — Banno

... solipsism. Perhaps epistemic ...

I'm a Substance Monist. — Gnomon

... what non-trivially distinguishes "physical events" from "metaphysical interactions"? — 180 Proof

Meta-physics is the design (form, purpose); physics is the product (shape, action). The act of creation brings an ideal design into actual existence. The design concept is the “formal” cause of the thing designed. — Gnomon

Does Immanentism allow for an eternal "Multiverse", or "Big Bounce" scenarios, [ ... ]?

Solipsism.
— 180 Proof

Why? — Bob Ross

Not to have to focus on politics but on an ethical intuition re methods of warfare... — Baden

... you are already making us of language, along with all that entails; so your very line of thinking presupposes far more than it pretends. — Banno

1. There is experience, therefore something exists. — Bob Ross

2. That something, or a part of it, must be producing experience.

3. The unified parts of that something which are producing it is the ‘I’.

4. The ‘I’ can only produce experience through (data) input (i.e., sensibility).

5. The production of experience via sensibility (and whatever may afterwards interpret such sensibility) entails that one’s experience is a representation.

Consciousness is partly shaped by physical events, but partly determined by metaphysical (mental) interactions. — Gnomon

You [@Wayfarer] are simply reading your preconceptions into the quotes you posted. — wonderer1

So... not a fan of the Irgun? — Vera Mont

I also find myself wondering, if accurate. so what? Does it make any difference to how one lives? How is this way of thinking of use? — Tom Storm

What do you mean by a conceptual supposition or interpretation? — Bob Ross

There's indeed no moral equivalency. Hamas' violence is a drop in the ocean of Israeli aggression. — Benkei

Is the pilot and the group of armed men morally equivalent? — BitconnectCarlos

My reason for not believing in any form of personal rebirth or afterlife is not that there is any definitive evidence against it, but simply that I cannot make rational sense of the idea, and I cannot believe something I am incapable of even making coherent to myself. So, I can honestly say that my thoughts on this are not at all driven by wishful thinking. — Janus

Why will no one care or remember? — Judaka

Do you agree with my prediction? — Judaka

I responded, 'As I understand it, Spinoza ... — Wayfarer

Yeah, I can appreciate such possibilities, but I can imagine a lot of dangers humanity is woefully unprepared to understand. — wonderer1

Everything in nature, every natural phenomenon, is transitory and subject to decay. — Wayfarer

Things, beings, entities are not eternal, but nature itself is. Spinoza drew a distinction between natura naturata and natura naturans. The former is created nature, transient nature and the latter is the eternal active creative power which brings about created nature. — Janus
