As the insulted party, perhaps if I spice it up a bit we can tempt him to make some sort of meaningful argument.Flannel Jesus wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2024 10:51 am Everything you've said so far as just unfocused wishy washy nothingness. There's nothing meaty to talk about here. You've presented a summary of experimental philosophy, said next to nothing about what you think of it, and insulted a few people. Come on dude, say something meaningful now. It's time. You can do it.
I don't follow the ins and outs of experimental philosophy much, but it seems like all they actually seem to do is ask civilians to consider philosophical thought experiments and then by use of intuition pumps show that you can take advantage of people and get them to fall on whichever side of the debate you favour by loading the examples.
I put it to you that most of what experimental philosophy does is done better by TV shows like The Good Place and movies like The Matrix.
