@malahern the problem here is how you define reading. the kind of “reading” that graduate classes often require is simply skimming. it’s hard to read a massive number of pages with any real level of care or depth.

Some of you kids today might not realize this, but there was a period of time shortly after 9/11 when the thought of living in a state of constant digital surveillance was somewhat controversial.

i once dated someone and we got into a playful argument about why they wouldn’t share location “i’m a very private person, this feels like it’s moving too fast, that’s a big step” months later, after it didn’t work out, we were friends and i said “ok i need your location for logistics” he admitted the real reason he wouldn’t share it was because he never left the house and didn’t want anyone to see

me: these are headphones. they go over your ears so you can privately listen to music or podcasts
time-traveling pilgrim: so then why do people play stuff loudly off their phone in public spaces?
me: okay, you're actually picking up on things way faster than I thought

@HetkeBrian @OldCodgerLeague @Philip_Goff this does not address the question I asked in the slightest

Dissociation is the mental process that produces apparent duality.
It's the same reason your dream character in one of your dreams does not have access to the rest of your mind. Dissociation has occurred to create the illusion of separation where in fact none exists.
It's a well known property of mind in nature.
English
So many people equate physicalism with science, and see panpsychism as somehow in competition with science. In reality, both are philosophical interpretations of the reality underlying science.
Alex Desilets@AlexCDesilets
@Philip_Goff Because one has a measurable foundation and the other is the pinnacle of "trust me bro" pseudoscience. "Like woah brah, what if these mushrooms let us see the other dimensions of reality and our linked consciousness creates our experience in fractal dimensions?" "Woah! Brah...."

@CitedNeed @ShMMor personally, I tend to avoid calling it a genocide. again, my point is that the definitional question gets in the way of talking about what is actually happening to the people of Gaza. it evades conversations about the scale of the suffering, which ShMMor doesn't want to face
English
@CitedNeed @ShMMor he fixated on the genocide claim and attacked her for saying it, calling it an antisemitic libel without qualification
English
You can't "put aside the word genocide" when the topic of conversation is the accusation of genocide itself; one needs to actually interrogate the basis of the accusation - namely, as a memetic libel used without a clear definition or any evidentiary rigor, and which imbues in the accuser the ability to cast moral judgement upon Israeli society as a whole, and thereby justify violence against it.

@ShMMor @QueenMab87 let’s put aside the word genocide for a moment. do you think it’s antisemitic to oppose Israel’s war in Gaza? is it antisemitic to think that thousands of dead Palestinian children is horrific? what opinions on Gaza are people allowed to have that AREN’T antisemitic in your view?
English
@neuweltschmerz @QueenMab87 @pauldgross why does it have to be the case that Israel wanted to exterminate the Palestinians prior to this war? the intent that matters is the intent *now,* at this time, during this war. that's what is under evaluation.
English
If your worldview requires the majority of Jewish genocide scholars be antisemitic it might be time to reevaluate
Shany Mor שני מור شني مور@ShMMor
@QueenMab87 This is not true. There is no way to "oppose" this non-existent genocide without engaging in wretched antisemitism and fantasies of Jewish expulsion and murder. It is the whole point.
English
@thursdaynoon92 @ShMMor @QueenMab87 and that's fair, but I hope you are aware that you have a very rare opinion
English
@QueerDybbuk @ShMMor @QueenMab87 I don't think people who consider the war in Gaza a genocide are inherently antisemitic. I just think they are wrong
English
There are a million ways to oppose Zionism & the genocide of Palestinians without telling Jews to go back to a country that ethnically cleansed us

@bitplane @ColinMangan_TGC @Philip_Goff again, I’ll point you to my critique of your position which you conveniently (but predictably) ignored.

three teacup pigs in a trenchcoat@QueerDybbuk
@bitplane @ColinMangan_TGC @Philip_Goff it has no way of explaining why there are different kinds of mind (unless you think rocks & nebulae & grass have the same kind of experience & sensation you do) & why mind created different kinds of illusionary matter. the fact we lump all these things together…
English
Why is explaining physical reality in terms of consciousness less satisfactory that explaining consciousness in terms of physical reality?
Wexler Smith@WexlerSmith
@Philip_Goff Not a solution. Positing experience as a fundamental primitive is explanatory handwaving. What work does it do beyond relabeling the problem and why aren’t we one vast consciousness rather than bounded subjects?
English
@bitplane @ColinMangan_TGC @Philip_Goff I also fail to see how this answer sits with your earlier claim that mind precedes matter. if mind precedes matter, why does it always follow these patterns? it shouldn't need to. it's immaterial, isn't it? I just see a lot of contradictions & inconsistent logic in this worldview
English
@bitplane @ColinMangan_TGC @Philip_Goff this is poetic & nicely imaginative, but it assigns agency and intention to things that decidedly lack them. if everything is merely choice, why do categories of things "choose" to always act in one way under a fixed set of circumstances? why is unlimited variation not possible?
English
@HetkeBrian @OldCodgerLeague @Philip_Goff if there is only the appearance of "me" in consciousness, why do I not have access to all of consciousness? if consciousness is actually a unitary, indivisible field and the appearance is an illusion, why is my access to cosmic awareness limited?
English
@HetkeBrian @OldCodgerLeague @Philip_Goff why do things appear in consciousness? why does immaterial consciousness create things that appear fixed and follow patterns that can be physically & mathematically demonstrated and determined?
English
English
@QueerDybbuk @rushwithfour @Philip_Goff Consciousness is not blindly assumed. Its natures only given. It the only thing that cannot be an illusion. This is your experience as well.
I know it’s not an illusion because all illusions would have to appear to consciousness.
English
@HetkeBrian @InformationBot0 @Philip_Goff no, that's a dodge. you didn't answer the question.
should I be tried for murder if I kill someone in a dream?
English
English
@CitedNeed moreover, the idea that it is solely used "as a memetic libel used without a clear definition or any evidentiary rigor" is simply false. are the UN's findings without a clear definition or evidence? you're responding to any imaginary argument I didn't make
English
@CitedNeed excuse me, but that was NOT the topic of conversation. the topic - Mia's question - was if opposing the war in Gaza is itself antisemitic. the person I responded to deflected by bringing up the debate about genocide. I was asking him to return to the actual question
