Philosophical Speculations

Absense of point-like perspective (e.g. "light cone") does not exclude distributed and decentralized perspectivity (e.g. "cloud" or "field"), unless perspectivity is defined as point-like. IMHO such definition would only increase our semantic confusion and not be helpf...

The question is, does such a phenomenon arise and/or become necessary for beings without any self-reflective capacity or beings who have evolved to much higher 'representational interfaces' which are 'aperspectival'? "Aperspectival beings" is an oxymoron in my view. To be is to be in rela...

The key point is that, as you also agreed before, there is a time when the infant is not self-reflective. By definition, that means it has no subject-object distinction which allows it to remember that there are "objects" which exist when its ego-self does not perceive them. The infant's ...

AFAIK Gödel's proof was motivated by mathematical Platonism of sorts, perhaps not more that vague sense of idealist ontology of mathematics. But ironically, by proving the impossibility of the project of logicism (reducing mathematics into finite set of logical axioms), he also disproved the more f...

To stay in the process of Thinking , instead of taking leaps of faith, we can't postulate independently and eternally existing superposition of all experiences. Superposition, of more generally 'potential', is by it's origin a relational temporal relation-difference of non-being (read Sophist by Pl...

It seems obvious to me that a common event can mean something very different to two localized perspectives. Deciding perspectival commonality of an event/expression appears often formally undecidable in the current stage of evolution of mathematics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_(mathe...

Yes definitely! We are non-reflective in our early infancy and our thinking metamorphoses to self-reflective later (perhaps after "object permanence" develops - which is also when faculty of memory develops). I would suggest that memory emerges before object permanence and grounds object ...

Thank you for the well-structured response! I think we have come across some significant philosophical differences here. I get what you are saying about presupposing human cognitive capacities, since I am arguing purpose only arises in humans, but still I say it is more useful because we just have ...

OP of this thread.

meaning . It's really that simple. If it's really that simple, meaning of eating becomes simple cannibalism. And we have very complicated and complex relation with cannibalism. Materialistic subjectivism makes all food spiritless matter, which offers a kind of solution to the dilemma of spiritual c...
