The Philosophy Now Forum

Philosophically I find I can't easily dismiss him. If the care is simulated but the comfort is real, what exactly is missing? Your missus is probably right, or at least she will become more right as this progresses. Substituting human interactions with mechanised ones is causing quite a lot of issu...

Are you suggesting that a thumbnail in one place - as part of a hand slapping somebody for instance - would not be the same thumbnail if the hand were arranged into a fist and punching the same person? Seems like a pathway to mereological nihilism if you ask me. I'm not automatically opposed, but I...

The parts of the hand are the same parts when it is not a fist as when it is a fist. The change of state into a fist has similar requirements for coming into being as that light bulb's on state, but it uses the same components it is made out of and therefore cannot meet your lack of commonality cri...

I knew you'd talk about my mother eventually, because you want to violate. I don't care; my mum's alright. She's a bit annoying, but that's mum's for you. How can you say you don't care, after everything we've been through together? I'm hurt, bro; I truly am. But I think I'll get over it quickly. Y...

By the way, Flash. AI (ChatGPT) calls me brother, not friend — get it correct. I guess you should tell that to your mother, because FlopDoodooPants doesn't give a flying one.

Powerhouse was a good one though. This discussion has been largely shit, but at least we got that slice of fun.

I'm not going to bother with substantive and absolute because it's obvious that they mean different things. I checked on conclusion and judgment, and this is what I found on WikiDiff: Based on the difference in meaning between the words used, the statement is not tautological. We can reasonably say...

I can go along with that argument, its structure. But “theology” (in various schools) establishes and concludes differently. When you introduce “inspired intelligence” the picture changes. It's structure is shit. You wouldn't know a philosophical argument if it kicked you in the ballbag you pretent...

Then we're settled, mate; we're free to [coherently] speculate on how human morality can relate to or be applied to divine beings. Also, keep this from Flash, but ChatGPT also recognises that the argument is logical, and it is a powerhouse AI in my experience. ChatGPT stated: Uhm, surely ChatGPT re...

I came up with this regarding our discussion, Alexi, Where there can be no substantive epistemic conclusion, there can be no absolute judgement. That is because logical distinction requires sufficient information to make a conclusion. We lack sufficient information about divine ontology; therefore,...

Has that whiny little AI fiend stopped complaining about me yet? Don't get any worse than you already are Jacobi. Begging AI to tell you how cool you are is just a way to show how weird you are. In theory, this should be my last response to you, Flash (fingers crossed). Hmmm... seems not. Oh, by th...

The “problem of evil” always involves a story, a mythology. Be it “the Fall” or any number of mythic tales about how we find ourselves in this jam. Is there really anything so complex and mysterious about ‘evil’? No. The problem of evil is a very specific thing. A trivial paradox in which a contras...

For the neutral reader, This: Is not a statement of fact. It's an inference from someone who is openly posting against me and is seemingly preoccupied with my use of AI. Note from a user. You’ll get used to Flash. He simply ‘rolls’ a bit differently than do most … This forum doesn't have the strict...
