Depends, what difference do you have between conscious thinking and thinking?Breath wrote:Any conscious thinking going on while sleeping?

You questioned my premise that conscious thinking is not the only thing that is going on.Arising_uk wrote:Depends, what difference do you have between conscious thinking and thinking?Breath wrote:Any conscious thinking going on while sleeping?
It seems to me that, if you differentiate between conscious thinking and thinking, then you are already well aware that conscious thinking is not the only thing going on.

Well actually I just asked for an example.Breath wrote:You questioned my premise that conscious thinking is not the only thing that is going on.
I said it depends, that's why I was asking you what differentiation you make?It seems to me that, if you differentiate between conscious thinking and thinking, then you are already well aware that conscious thinking is not the only thing going on.

The identity of the apple depends. Depends on temporal location. If your mind memory is changed to percieve it as a non-apple, then it ceases to seem like an apple.
So we'll say the apple is a'somethin.

What distinction you make between 'conscious thinking' and 'thinking'?Breath wrote:It depends on what?
Re: Are the Three Laws of Logic correct?
That is not a distinction I made or make; it is a distinction you are suggesting.Arising_uk wrote:What distinction you make between 'conscious thinking' and 'thinking'?Breath wrote:It depends on what?
Now, in your opinion, is or isn't thinking going on that is not conscious while asleep? An answer to that does not depend on anything I might have to say.

Unconscious thinking would be all the things your brain does that you're not aware of, such as adjusting/interpreting perceptions and creating dreams. I suppose it differs from other unconscious bodily functions (like breathing) in virtue of the fact that it's done by the brain and either resembles conscious thought or is otherwise closely related to conscious thought.Arising_uk wrote:What distinction you make between 'conscious thinking' and 'thinking'?Breath wrote:It depends on what?

There is a popular idea that humans only use 10% of their brain, and I suppose that if you consider only the intentional, conscious thinking that might be pretty close, but I would not like to see what would happen if all the 90% of the brain activity that we are not aware of suddenly was required to be conscious thought. First of all nothing else would get done, and most people would die pretty quickly if they forget to breath, not to mention figuring out how to digest different kinds of food. Just the simplest movement would be a challenge if we had to consciously direct every little muscle movement.

Axioms are only true within the abstract system for which they are axioms.Wyman wrote:They are axioms and most would agree that they are self apparent truths, although identity is trickier than the other two. The set of all apples is the same as itself (since sets with the same members are identical). Two apples are identical if they belong to the same sets (i.e. if they have the same properties - Leibnitz' Law)marsh8472 wrote:1) The Law of Identity - An apple is an apple
2) The Law of Non-Contradiction - an apple is not a non-apple
3) The Law of Excluded Middle - it is either true or false that I just ate an apple
Can any of these be shown to be correct without referring back to them to do it?
Applying an abstract system to facts about the real world is a non-logical step.
So the 'three laws of logic' may apply sometimes to the real world while at other times they do not.

Yes, but most members here try to overlook your deficiency.
