Do you agree finding out molecular structure of a substance gives us metaphysical knowledge and allows us to make modal claims about this substance?06 Mar 2026 05:59 +0000at://did:plc:emfifbd2ijn7iupdmnousl3k/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgen3odbqk22https://bsky.app/profile/mgorbachev.bsky.social/post/3m7zs4sccds2yWhat does make a fact true?15 Dec 2025 13:59 +0000at://did:plc:emfifbd2ijn7iupdmnousl3k/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7zs4sccds2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/mgorbachev.bsky.social/post/3m7zs2odvc22yActually I like that we have nonphysicalists of all types. These people remind me of the beginning of philosophy. Especially when they are very smart people! It is very fascinating to see what tricky and picturesque things they built!15 Dec 2025 13:58 +0000at://did:plc:emfifbd2ijn7iupdmnousl3k/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7zs2odvc22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/mgorbachev.bsky.social/post/3m6pzn62j6s2xIf you were offered a world in which no one would ever commit crimes from this moment on, but those who have already done so would remain unpunished, would you regard the latter as a loss and moral cost?28 Nov 2025 23:22 +0000at://did:plc:emfifbd2ijn7iupdmnousl3k/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6pzn62j6s2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/mgorbachev.bsky.social/post/3m6mdrqkc7c2wThis is how boredom looks like27 Nov 2025 12:13 +0000at://did:plc:emfifbd2ijn7iupdmnousl3k/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6mdrqkc7c2whttps://bsky.app/profile/mgorbachev.bsky.social/post/3m6bjc7u5ys2pIn his recent paper @davidchalmers.bsky.social introduced a first step strategy for AI agency assessment. He suggests that we can at least use the notions of quasi beliefs, desires and agency. These are AI behavior interpretable as having beliefs, desires and agency. https://bsky.app/profile/davidchalmers.bsky.social/post/3m63mw5dkyk2y [contains quote post or other embedded content]23 Nov 2025 04:52 +0000at://did:plc:emfifbd2ijn7iupdmnousl3k/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6bjc7u5ys2phttps://bsky.app/profile/mgorbachev.bsky.social/post/3m5t4phphb22mHow would you define “rule” for a language rule?

(So, an assumption that I face an illusion of p is not the case). I have no idea how it could be possible.

I don’t think one can coherently be the former. The latter use “PC”inappropriate.31 Jul 2025 12:10 +0000at://did:plc:emfifbd2ijn7iupdmnousl3k/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvb44xbygc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/mgorbachev.bsky.social/post/3lurgkdceb22zThere are two buttons: blue and red.

There are at least two strategies to reject phenomenal realism: denying existence of phenomenality or redefining it in physicalist terms. I guess, Nicholas takes the latter. But he still sticks to such properties as privacy…17 Jul 2025 09:29 +0000at://did:plc:emfifbd2ijn7iupdmnousl3k/app.bsky.feed.post/3lu5mm5ycg22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/mgorbachev.bsky.social/post/3ltmss3dcg22yI’m working on the translation of Nick Humphrey’s paper (below). I recommend this one to those who find illusionism too radical. Humphrey employs a realist language to convey quite similar ideas. If you find surrealism plausible, there’s nothing stopping you from adopting an illusionist perspective. https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/imp/jcs/2016/00000023/F0020011/art0000910 Jul 2025 17:04 +0000at://did:plc:emfifbd2ijn7iupdmnousl3k/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltmss3dcg22y
