The basis upon which Error Theory rests comes under its own scrutiny. To look upon the logical basis of Error Theory as not-being-a-thing, meaning framed in idealised abstractions, show just as much the item under consideration to be in error as it does error theory itself. A metaphysical rug has been pulled out from beneath us and then its existence has been denied.
Historically, the original Empiricists were skeptics. — Count Timothy von Icarus
I would hope that all philosophical positions are held with a healthy degree of scepticism rather than dogma.
This is not going to be a fun exchange. I'll need to put my first response last, because it was the most ridiculous and clearly antagonistic (possibly narcissistic) part of your response to me. I'm more than happy with the colour this intro adds to my response. I am feeling pretty dismissive of most of this, as its ... lacking, let's say. I will come across as such. It seems all you're doing is trying to talk shit about types of philosophy you don't like. Which is fine. But trying to make arguments in the way you have is embarrassing. — AmadeusD
Nonsense, exactly as I had noted earlier. I assumed you'd clarify, but it just got worse and less clear what you're talking about. — AmadeusD
It is. I don't really care about you asserting otherwise. This is the case. — AmadeusD
This is literal nonsense. — AmadeusD
I'll do a you: Nope. This is the case. This is what pain is in the mind. That's why people can handle it to varying degrees, often not suffering in light of it, where another would. That's enough on that. — AmadeusD
A sensation, delineated from other sensations. I've been over this. It seems like you're copy pasting rants from somewhere in response to buzz words like an AI. At the very least, you're not really reading my posts. — AmadeusD
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
