Philosophy fag here, ask me anything

Why?

>>579630301
how can i become a philosophist?

>>579630301

either i don't understand the determinists' position on morality sans free will or it doesn't simply work. try explaining it to me.

Was jesus a reptilian?

>>579630840
for whatever reason you want to ask
>>579631281
read kant, then heidegger if you feel up for a challenge, popper is a must if youre into science and shit, basically just pick a philosopher and start reading, is there any topic in particular that interests you?

And?

>>579631317
free will exists, i think we can all agree on that on the surface, morality is just a judgement of what someone ought to do or who they ought to act, honestly i dont really understand your question, could you try reframing it for me?
>>579631828
yes, why yes he was,

>>579632010
and i will try my very best to answer you the best that i can

if you believe in free will, you're probably not the best person to answer this question then. i'm an agnostic determinist. what i'm wondering about is how determinist philosophers like harris can propose a framework for morality that is independent of free will.

Is studying post-structuralism a waste of time?

Just kidding, I already know the answer.

Is there something innate to biological creatures that could never be replicated with technology or do you believe that, with enough time, we could create a computer system capable of learning and reasoning in the same way as humans?

Anon, lately I've been kinda ehhh about sex.

I haven't fapped in 2 weeks, I've always been tempted to cheat on my amazing girlfriend... I guess the sex has been stale lately and boring.

I have no real reason to cheat, she's going to med school to be a Nurse Practitioner and has nearly a perfect 4.0 average and is honestly an easy 7/10.

So I decided no porn, no fap 2 weeks. Finally got around to banging this 7/10 cutie from work.

Sex was decent, after I came and left... still feel like it wasn't worth it.

I feel empty. Dunno why.
I am looking forward to seeing my GF tomorrow though, I don't feel the slightest bit guilty about cheating.

do your parents believe that you'll be successful in your field of study?
> do they ask you why you don't bring a girl back to the house?

>>579633306
lol
>>579633201
hmmm well then id say there is no morality outside of free will, making good choices implies that you have a choice

>>579630301
What is liberty?

>>579630301
How is babby made

How much first order logic have you studied?

>>579635527

yeah that's what i've always thought as well.

>>579630301

>what then is philosophy?
wrong question
>>579635527
>immanuel kant what is enlightenment
you named more names.

>>579635527

you study neurology & you believe in free will? what is your definition of agency? a number of neuroscientific studies have strongly refuted the old beliefs.

Am I wrong for not feeling sympathy for those who helped me in the past. Basically few family members are having a rough time atm and I just don't care.

>Why do I feel like this
if you don't know just give your opinion on my situation that will do

>>579634174
>>579634443
haha noted, ya'll make me smile
>>579634637
very much so yes, but you gotta realize that our (human) reasoning is the result of millions of years of evolution, technology will definitely need time to close the gap
>>579634759
agreed
>>579634916
well shit dude i dont really condone cheating at least when both people agree to monogamy, this is not really my area of expertise
>>579635080
i dual majored in communication studies, so yeah, they hate me for other reasons, not for my education

>>579636538
You only inferred that he believes in free will.

>>579634916


In same boat. GF is cool. Fell nothing.

Banged hot chick from work who totally wants me.

Have no idea how to proceed.

damn I thought this thread was about philosophy, but it seem that it's about GF advices. Fuck you, faggots.

you're referring to the rift between the mental and the physical realms right? read the critics of solipsism
>>579636796
wait so do you feel like you should want to help them?
>>579636538
yeah sort of, there are some choices that are heavily influenced by evolutionary predisposition, but for the most part i can still make my own choices

>>579636538
Thought that was weird as well.

Can't really reconcile free will with what we've learned about our brains and neural networks in general.

Quantum physics doesn't really help either, even though people love to claim it comes to the rescue of free will.

It's either actually deterministic and we just don't understand it well enough yet. Or it really is random... but our brains being slaves to quantum entropy does not free will make. It would merely make for a better illusion.

>>579632394
>free will exists, i think we can all agree on that on the surface
And yet you claim to be a Philosophy fag? Are you in high school? You clearly don't know shit about what philosophy has to say about free will, or anything for that matter if you honestly think ANY philosophical issue is something that "we can all agree on"

>>579638113

>>579640487
Do you think there is a way to prove that everything we experience exists?
Personally Descartes "I think therefore I am" doesnt quite do it for me

>>579635527
>hmmm well then id say there is no morality outside of free will, making good choices implies that you have a choice
Holy fuck dude, again you clearly don't know shit about philosophy. If it interests you that's great but you should not be acting like you're in a position to answer anybody's questions. There are so many good arguments for moral responsibility without free will...like soooooo many.

You should be asking questions, not answering them.

>>579640487
>>i partially do

Out of what, convenience? Do you also believe in the categorical imperative? This is silly.

>>579640487

That's how I feel. Chick I banged at work knows my GF. Still doesn't care. she says "I want fun" but I can see her true wants when I look her in the eyes while i'm inside her. It's not just lust. Problem is, I fell pretty hard for her long before we started fucking.

I'm leaning towards this being my pathetic excuse to destroy my current relationship, deconstruct my life and start over.

I'm addicted to starting over.

Oh, well now that I have your permission I guess I can leave!
My intent was to point out that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. When people who don't know what the fuck they're talking about but act like they do, it makes things worse for everybody, it spreads incorrect information and hinders actual learning.
Like I said, you should be asking questions, not answering them.

>>579642461

At least I can tell someone. I can't tell anyone close to me because they all know me, my GF, and this work chick.

Normally I don't have issues with doing the whole "Fuck Buddy" thing. But this chick and this situation is something completely different.

GF always says "outta sight, outta mind" but I know she doesn't really mean it.

The whole thing is fucked. I just wish I had someone to talk to who was objective and/or 3rd party and not a total close minded fuckwad.

Thanks.

truly the general direction that the evidence is pointing towards is away from free will. yet the problem still exists that we have yet to with certainty comprehend the determinist conception.

one of my amusing (to myself) hypotheses or fantasies is:

• in order to confirm determinism is true, we would have to show that we can predict what happens next before it does based on our current state now.

• but the only way to do that would be a perfect simulation of the universe up until that moment.

• the infinite complexity required in this simulation would essentially be itself another universe.

• what if the universe is a tautological simulation?

Why does the quantum enigma fightens you anons? The only thing that I would find frightening about it would be the possibility to someone discover how it works exactly and start influencing everything until he becomes a god.

welcome to Brazil.

If my experience transcends yours, how on earth can you believe anything about it?

Your belief about my experience can have no content other than conceptions you have and experience in your own mind, leaving the difference between solipsism and 'not-solipsism' nothing more than a difference in attitudes (such as, taking something to be true or not) you have towards conceptions/ideas in your own mind, that YOU experience. None of which is to do with me and my experience.

Does experience other than my own exist?

Answering "yes" or "no" is nothing more than me taking an attitude towards a conception in my own mind ('experience other than my own'), which I experience.

The opposite to solipsism is not logically conceivable.

How could I possibly form beliefs about something I could never in principle encounter (transcendent experience)?

So I'm a a Deontologist at heart cause I think it would be the hypotheticaly best system of ethics, in theory. but I don't think it actually reflects how people are. existentialism gives a more accurate assessment of the world as it is, far as I can tell.
