Philosophy is not some sort of church where everyone praise some emotionally agreed upon idea... You seems to be turning this into some sort of us vs. them game based on your faulty projections, so I hope to stop here. (Btw, If you are getting your ideas about philosophy from popular youtube channels like https://www.youtube.com/user/schooloflifechannel https://www.youtube.com/user/schooloflifechannel or https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8dPuuaLjXtNgK6MZucdYldNkMybYIHKR https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8dPuuaLjXtNgK6MZucdY... , maybe I can understand why you have such misunderstandings) ----------- If you happen to be interested anytime, you can start with some very introductory resources I bothered to look up for you (most are video, they are easy to consume): + Donald Hoffman - computational theory of mind, someone closer to HN's demographic (https://youtu.be/cUhrK82seVY https://youtu.be/cUhrK82seVY) + John Searl is good speaker so try his talk (https://youtu.be/rHKwIYsPXLg https://youtu.be/rHKwIYsPXLg) + Some thought experiments (remember that thought experiments are not highlighters of issue, not complete arguments) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz0n_SjOttTdUVuUqefi6dWabDOynPu8x https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz0n_SjOttTdUVuUqefi6... + If you want to know what a complete technical work looks like, here's one I've been reading: http://a.co/2xF4PPB http://a.co/2xF4PPB + Not agreed upon but a fun one to not include - about: what is philosophy: https://youtu.be/dp8aTYUrPi0 https://youtu.be/dp8aTYUrPi0 + Science vs philosophy sort of video, slow but good discussion in there: https://youtu.be/9tH3AnYyAI8 https://youtu.be/9tH3AnYyAI8 + http://a.co/i96KFPs http://a.co/i96KFPs In the unlikely case that you become very interested, you can look up "Introduction to philosophy of mind syllabus" and go through the materials and/or books of your choice on the subject. ----------- > What is the philosophical method for interrogation an empirical phenomenon That would go into philosophy of science, which I have absolutely no familiarity with. I'm guessing, to a philosopher of science, 'empirical' isn't such a simple subject as recording something that scientist would call it. I did watch this very interesting video once about phil. of science: https://youtu.be/5ng-t0o7E-w https://youtu.be/5ng-t0o7E-w

> You seems to be turning this into some sort of us vs. them game based on your faulty projections Really, how so? you're the one assuming the authority of philosophy, not me. How are my projections 'faulty'? You just keep pivoting, and claiming there to be some counterpoint, somewhere, even though you can't seem to supply them yourself. > you can start with some very introductory resources No thanks, implicit to this move is the suggestion that I need to read "very introductory" material. I don't. > That would go into philosophy of science, which I have absolutely no familiarity with Then you have no basis for arguing with me?
