OK. So, iow we have an argument with premises that are taken as a given and not demonstrated.
Well, I start my claim with "if". therefore it is correct.
Ibid.

But you will also have other 'ifs' involved around memory, the relations between language and reality and so on. But perhaps you can notice all the assumptions, yes, and place them in conditional form.

And then there are still beliefs without proof. Just as the religious have.
Again, I said, "If reality is intelligible and coherent then everything can be proven...". Is this statement correct and valid? Sure it is. Whether the reality is intelligible and coherent or not is the subject of investigation. We cannot know unless otherwise shown.

you still are completely and utterly missing what is actually happening and occurring here "atla".

Although I have informed you of many, many times already.
Still zero proof for your mind claim, just dishonest evasion.
The poor soul claims to not have assumptions and beliefs, despite posting them with great regularity.
Why do you presume I have claimed to have no assumptions?

Are you able to back up and support this claim of yours here "iwannaplato"?

Which should be very easy thing to do, considering from the only place that 'you' could have Accurately formed this presumption or belief.
Iwannaplato wrote: Sun Jan 28, 2024 9:50 am And this has been pointed out to him many a time.
But just 'pointing out' something, without providing actual proof, in no way means that what is being 'pointed out' is actually True and Correct.
Iwannaplato wrote: Sun Jan 28, 2024 9:50 am It seems he thinks assertions have no connections with beliefs.
But 'assertions' do not have to have any connections with 'belief', itself, at all.

For obviously one can 'assert' some thing without necessarily believing that 'it' is true at all.

For example I can very easily and simply assert; 'I think that it is, very, true that the sun will, what is Wrongly called, 'rise' tomorrow', without absolutely ever having to believe that 'the sun will rise tomorrow' is true.

Once again this one could not just answer the actual clarifying question posed, and asked to it. And, this is because of the obvious hypocrisy and contradiction this one would then fall into.

Oh, and by the way, your total and absolute incapability of backing up and supporting your mind claim, in absolutely anyway at all, is not going unnoticed. Neither are all of your attempts at deflection and of trying to deceive others here, which you are very kindly displaying and exposing here, for all of 'us' to look at, see, and recognize.

Now, in case you, or others, have forgotten here, you said and claimed:

The Truth, (with capital 't'), is that the mind is a part of the brain.

I then asked you to clarify; Which part of the brain?

you then made the absurd claim; You were challenged to prove otherwise and completely failed to no one's surprise.

I replied; Really?

If yes, then where and when was 'this', exactly?

Where for example have I ever been challenged to prove that 'the mind', whatever that is, is not a part of the brain?

Also, if you, really, would now like to claim that 'the mind' is 'a part of the brain', then 'we' look forward to your explanation of 'what part' of 'the brain' is 'the mind', exactly.

Until then 'we' could wonder, 'How does the one here known as "atla" even define, and mean by, 'the mind', exactly?'


And, again, 'we wait'.

Once again this one could not just answer the actual clarifying question posed, and asked to it. And, this is because of the obvious hypocrisy and contradiction this one would then fall into.

Oh, and by the way, your total and absolute incapability of backing up and supporting your mind claim, in absolutely anyway at all, is not going unnoticed. Neither are all of your attempts at deflection and of trying to deceive others here, which you are very kindly displaying and exposing here, for all of 'us' to look at, see, and recognize.

Now, in case you, or others, have forgotten here, you said and claimed:

The Truth, (with capital 't'), is that the mind is a part of the brain.

I then asked you to clarify; Which part of the brain?

you then made the absurd claim; You were challenged to prove otherwise and completely failed to no one's surprise.

I replied; Really?

If yes, then where and when was 'this', exactly?

Where for example have I ever been challenged to prove that 'the mind', whatever that is, is not a part of the brain?

Also, if you, really, would now like to claim that 'the mind' is 'a part of the brain', then 'we' look forward to your explanation of 'what part' of 'the brain' is 'the mind', exactly.

Until then 'we' could wonder, 'How does the one here known as "atla" even define, and mean by, 'the mind', exactly?'


And, again, 'we wait'.
STILL ZERO PROOF for 'your' MIND CLAIM, just dishonest EVASION and LIES from deliberate AMNESIA.
Obviously this one cannot see, read, hear, and comprehend the words I say and write here.

Okay. If this is what the one here known as "atla" wants to believe is absolutely and irrefutably true here, then this is 'perfectly okay', and fine, with me.

Yes, you have not yet provided absolutely any proof for your mind claim that the 'mind is a part of the brain', even when you have been asked specific clarifying questions regarding 'your mind claim' "atla".

your attempts at evasion have not gone unnoticed either. As I have already pointed out and shown some of them already. As well as this very blatant obvious one you have used here a number of times already.

Also, that you have clearly missed what I have already said and pointed out here, about your claim here, has also been seen and recognized.

But, please do not let this stop you from re-repeating the exact same diversion and evasive tactic "atla".
