You realise, this is the same fallacy?
You've shifted the burden of proof on to some bizarre philosophical ground so that you dont have to defend your trick magic box.
A priori, by common sense, you're conscious. A priori, by common sense, a machine is not. There lie the default burdens of proof. From this the sales person must proceed to convince me, not vice versa.
- rhn_mk1 4y agoI don't know what's in the box. You don't know what's in the box. Yet you say it can't possibly be this - so prove it. It's really simple. I don't have to defend the box. I defend the right to say that we don't know in the absence of facts. Common sense isn't facts, nor is it a priori.
