Re: Bernardo's talk with Lance Butler
I think that any argument against 'analytic' philosophy will have to engage BK on an analytic level. BK has repeatedly referred to people like Hegel, Whitehead and to an extent Steiner as being obscurantists. I admit some sympathy with this as I can't get my head around many of the objections posted...

Re: What is the phenomenilogy of non-metacognitive consciousness in Bernardo's model?
This means that the present is big enough to contain a memory or expectation, so that resolves that paradox. I'm not sure how this relates to the question of meta-cognition, however. I'd suggest that if the present were all-encompassing, as with MAL, metacognition would likely be impossible, since ...

Re: Idealism, Materialism and Zen
Some great contribution in this thread.
It does seem to be the same old question. Using duality bound language to affirm an unconditioned reality beyond duality. Good luck with that!

No Problem, you are obviously a published writer - or at least should be!

Re: How knowable is the world we experience?
So why does Analytic Idealism appear to go with Kant and say a thing-in-itself is transcendent and unknowable?

Re: How knowable is the world we experience?
Q: So why does Analytic Idealism go with Kant and say a thing-in-itself is transcendent and unknowable? Hi Ben. I've never read this as a an axiom of analytic idealism. BK and Schopenhauer actually challenge Kant's dualism by invoking a 'fallen' or dissociated trick by which what is real appears un...

Re: Why does Bernardo reject the possibility of sentient AI?
At first glance this seemed logical, but as I thought a bit about it, I don't get why it would be impossible to create sentient AI. In Bernardo's view, life is a dissociation when experienced from the 1st person view, and an objectification of a mental state when experienced from the 3nd person vie...

Re: Why does Bernardo reject the possibility of sentient AI?
BK thinks abiogenesis is possible in principle, but that it would look like metabolising life (this being the extrinsic image of conscious inner life). There is a good very recent discussion with Brian Ford. That's my understanding too. Worth noting that if what we see is a 'dashboard' representati...

Re: Bernardo's Shared World Problem
Are you ready to give up any notion of spiritual progress? To realize you are already there even though it didn't turn out like you expected? I think Jim has been getting into Anna Brown (so to speak), with the nothing to do, nowhere to go, no-one to be schtick. She seems a little too much into the...
