You can't because you cannot become a bat, so thinking you can is just that, thought. I don't need your subjective experience to know.

You can't because you cannot become a bat, so thinking you can is just that, thought. I don't need your subjective experience to know.
- kelseyfrog 5mo agoAre you claiming you know what it is like to be me? You can't know about the bat thing unless you know what it is like to be me.
- satvikpendem 5mo agoI know you're a human, therefore I know you cannot know what it's like to be a bat, as an objective fact, regardless of how you think you think subjectively.
- kelseyfrog 5mo agoI am a human who objectively knows what it's like to be a bat. I have greater epistemic authority over what I know than others.
- satvikpendem 5mo ago> who objectively knows what it's like to be a bat. Sigh. Thinking you know and knowing is not the same, especially thinking you "objectively" know something. Maybe you should read the article posted instead of commenting these sorts of sentences.
- kelseyfrog 5mo agoI've read it many times over the years. I objectively know what it is like to be a bat and you cannot claim I don't without claiming you objectively know what it is like to be me. If this frustrates you, then congratulations; we have a starting point for discussion. Be open to describing where that frustration originates.
