Radical non-dualisms like that of Deleuze, Derrida and Heidegger put consciousness into question alongside subjectivity and objectivity, rather than elevating consciousness to supreme status. — Joshs

It's a fact. — Wayfarer

In other words, ultimate reality is not an alternative to conventional reality; it is the insight into the emptiness (śūnyatā) of inherent existence in all phenomena. — Wayfarer

My somewhat crude question is, why should we care? — Tom Storm

Is this frame[work] really just for people who enjoy 'wanking about oneness'

... or does it have a tangible use in daily living?

What is non-dualism? — Sirius

What is the nature of an illusion?

Does A equate with Metzinger's 'self-model theory of subjectivity'? — Tom Storm

Which seems more reasonable, or likely, to you, @Wayfarer (or anyone): (A) every human is a zombie with a(n involuntary) 'theory of mind'? or (B) every entity is a 'conscious' monad necessarily inaccessible / inexplicable to one another's 'subjectivity'? or (C) mind is a 'mystery' too intractable for science, even in principle, to explain? or (D) mind is a near-intractably complex phenomenon that science (or AGI) has yet to explain?

B is closest to the truth I reckon, but we can know other minds by inference ... — bert1

Politics... it isn't about logic and intelligence, it's a religion. — ssu

I hold that some concepts are primitive and absolutely simple [ ... ] the best example I have: being (viz., ‘to be’, ‘existence’, ‘to exist’, etc.) — Bob Ross

Is determinism true? — Truth Seeker

How can we know for sure?

My statement was that there's no reason to believe Biden is any better.
— boethius

Exactly. Which is absurd and, I’ll repeat (accurately); if this is your conclusion, then you’re not paying attention. Plain and simple ... My suggestion is to read less philosophy— it’s not doing you any good here. — Mikie

Now everything else can toss the coin (or when you do metaphysics, the coin can toss everything else). — Fire Ologist

I would say the two sides of the coin include science and philosophy together on the one side, keep the coin as the connector logic, but put everything else on the other side as the objects of science/philosophy. — Fire Ologist

I hope the T.O.E. fails. — ucarr

I read Robert Alter's biblical translation — BitconnectCarlos

The scope of science includes more th[an] nature? — ucarr

The scope of nature includes more than material things and their attendant physics?

I argue for the vanishing point of difference between science and philosophy through the essential linkage connecting brain and mind.

Ah well. I'm here to talk philosophy. — AmadeusD

Qualia are experienced as non-physical. — AmadeusD

... qualia (the subjective feel of experiences) cannot be accounted for purely by physical/functional properties ... — Matripsa

But AGI is limited to knowledge, and so, structurally, it can only decide and choose based on information already made explicit that it is told or learns. — Antony Nickles
