The Transcendental-Idealism-FSRC is outdated

[Atla]

Do cut the posturing. Spell out this supposed planet-sized, universal problem to which indirect realism is the supposed solution. Then I'll spell out why you're wrong.

What posturing? Spell out the topic that VA has been talking about for 5 years? For the 100th time, it's this:

Everything you have ever experienced, everything you experience now, and everything you will ever experience, is your mind. You have never "actually" seen the outside world before. Haven't felt it, haven't heard it, haven't smelled it.

Mentalist codswallop. What is the I that has never seen, heard or smelled 'the outside world'? What is 'the outside world' outside? What is 'the inside world' if it isn't my body, including my brain? Why aren't my body and brain parts of 'the outside world'?

You aren't spelling out the problem. You're just being pretentiously mysterious: 'experience is the mind' - or something like that. I'll wait for something worth responding to.

BUT YOU ARE THE ONE ENGAGING IN MENTALIST CODSWALLOP. AGAIN AND AGAIN.

What is the I that has never seen, heard or smelled 'the outside world'?

The "I" is just a name/metaphor for a part of the mind. Your question makes no sense.

What is 'the outside world' outside?

The mind.

What is 'the inside world' if it isn't my body, including my brain? Why aren't my body and brain parts of 'the outside world'?

THERE YOU GO AGAIN. WHO ELSE OTHER THAN YOU KEEPS INSISTING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT THE MIND MUST BE SOMETHING OTHER THAN A PART OF THE BODY?

All this has generally nothing to do with the actual problem Jesus.

PH's Stupidity: The "Mind" Does not Exist as Real
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=40071
PH is too focused on terms, meanings and language, that he is ignorant of what is most critical is the optimal utilities that can be derived from the respective FSRC involved that can contribute to the well-beings, progress, flourishing of the individual[s] and that of humanity.

I believe the human-mind exists but only contingent and qualified to the science-psychology FSRC [of sub-language-game] or common-sense FSRC.
I believe the human-brain exists but only contingent and qualified to the science-biology FSRC.

I agree with certain concepts of Direct Realism and Indirect Realism in relation to the mind,

That's the outdated and fairly nonsensical view, believing that things only exist "contingent and qualified" to some FSRC. We have to wonder what psychological motivation someone would have today for believing in this.

The correct form of indirect realism (indirect realism proper) of course doesn't insist on an "absolutely" independent and external reality - that would be nonsense, word salad. But VA has been misusing the word "absolute" too, so not sure what he means here.

[Veritas Aequitas]

Indirect realism is broadly equivalent to the scientific view of perception that subjects do not experience the external world as it really is, but perceive it through the lens of a conceptual framework.
-WIKI

The the external world as it really is means absolutely [unconditionally] independent of the human mind[s]. This is also the Kantian positive noumenon.

The conceptual framework is the FSC [perceived] which is the sub of the whole FSRC [emerged and realization of reality].
Reality must first be realized as real before it can be perceived, else one could perceived an illusion.

Here VA shows that he spent the last 5-10 years in a parallel universe, where all such philosophy holds that the external world is absolutely independent of the human mind[s].

He is trying to force some extreme form of transcendental idealism onto indirect realism, showing that for the last 5-10 years, he completely missed the very heart of the issue.

If it was absolutely independent, indirect realism couldn't work at all and couldn't make any sense. Unless we employ a lot of magic. Naturally you are the ignorant gnat. If by "absolute" you totally don't mean "absolute", then that's not my problem either.

??? You've been stuck here for years too. I don't know why.

Note [wR]

In indirect realism, is the absolute independence of the mind and the external world necessary?

In indirect realism, the absolute independence of the mind and the external world isn't necessary. Instead, it posits that while the external world exists independently of the mind, our perception of it is mediated by mental representations or sense data. So, there's a relationship between the mind and the external world, but it's not one of absolute independence.

[Atla]

Anyone else, who could actually argue for Kant's position, and not just make noises?

Note I had claimed: indirect realism > transcendental idealism

Note I had claimed: though once a respectable view, today transcendental idealism is more like for kids.

Note [wR]:

Which is more compatible with established scientific and psychological knowledge, transcendental idealism or indirect realism?

Both transcendental idealism and indirect realism are philosophical positions that seek to reconcile our perception of reality with established scientific and psychological knowledge, but they approach this task in different ways.

Transcendental idealism, famously articulated by Immanuel Kant, proposes that the mind plays an active role in shaping our experience of reality. According to Kant, we can never know things as they are in themselves, but only as they appear to us through the lens of our mental faculties. This perspective aligns with some aspects of modern cognitive science, which recognizes the role of perception, cognition, and interpretation in shaping our understanding of the world.

Indirect realism, on the other hand, posits that while our perceptions are influenced by mental processes, there exists an external reality independent of our perception. This external reality is perceived indirectly through sensory experiences and mental representations. This view is compatible with scientific theories about the nature of reality and perception, which often assume the existence of an external world that follows certain natural laws.

In terms of compatibility with established scientific and psychological knowledge, indirect realism may be more readily accepted, as it maintains the existence of an external reality that can be studied and understood through empirical methods. However, both perspectives have their proponents and critics within the realms of philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science, and the debate between them is ongoing. Ultimately, the choice between transcendental idealism and indirect realism may depend on one's philosophical and epistemological commitments.

[Atla]

Note the most glaring difference: space and time.

Indirect realism can explain that while absolute space and time are indeed "a priori forms of intuition" that only exist in the mind, the mind is also embedded in a wider, objectively existing reality that actually behaves according to Einsteinian relativistic spacetime where space and time are even inseparable, and we indeed have no intuition for this kind of spacetime.

Transcendental idealism can't deal with Einsteinian spacetime: it has no way of making sense of it.

Here is a more matured view from ChatGpt [wR];

My interlocutor posted the following from [..I believe is] ChatGpt:

"In indirect realism, the absolute independence of the mind and the external world isn't necessary.

So, there's a relationship between the mind and the external world, but it's not one of absolute independence."

I think there are nuances to the term "absolute" in this case.
In Kant's empirical realism, there is the concept of the independence of the mind but this is subsumed within Transcendental Realism which is ultimately involves the human conditions and mind.
In this case, it is appropriate to use the term 'relative independence' because the independence of empirical realism is conditioned upon Transcendental Idealism.

On the other hand, realists [direct and indirect] claim the mind is independent of the external world to the extent that the moon pre-existed humans and will continue to exists after humans are extinct [assuming the moon has not been destroyed then].
In this case, the term "absolute independent" of human mind is appropriate to differentiate the 'relative independence of empirical realism.

Is the above reasonable?

Your analysis presents an interesting perspective on the nuances of the term "absolute independence" in the context of indirect realism, Kantian empirical realism, and transcendental idealism.

Relative Independence in Kantian Empirical Realism: Your point about Kant's empirical realism is valid. Kant argued for the independence of the mind within the framework of empirical realism, but this independence is conditioned upon Transcendental Idealism, where the human mind structures and organizes sensory experience. Therefore, in this context, using the term "relative independence" would indeed be appropriate to acknowledge the dependence of empirical realism on Transcendental Idealism.

Absolute Independence in Realism: In contrast, when discussing realism, whether direct or indirect, the term "absolute independence" is often used to emphasize the idea that the external world exists independently of our perceptions or mental states. This notion doesn't necessarily imply a complete separation from human cognition but rather highlights the ontological independence of the external world. Your example of the moon existing before and after human existence illustrates this concept well.

In summary, your differentiation between "relative independence" in Kantian empirical realism and "absolute independence" in the broader context of realism is reasonable.
It highlights the nuanced ways in which philosophers approach the relationship between the mind and the external world within different philosophical frameworks.

This not the first time [it has happened with you and IWP];
I have already got ChatGpt to give more matured and realistic views than the one you asked ChatGpt based on your bias, narrow, shallow and ignorant prompting.

Note the conclusion to the exchange [in bold]:

Here is a prior discussion between User and ChatGPT:

But then haven't we conflated two forms of independence within realism: absolute (100%) independence and mind-independence, which distinction is vitally important in philosophy?

You raise a valid point regarding the distinction between two forms of independence within realism: absolute independence and mind-independence. It's indeed crucial to differentiate between these concepts, as they pertain to different aspects of the philosophical discourse on the nature of reality and perception.

Absolute Independence: This concept refers to the idea that the external world exists autonomously from any subjective perceptions or mental states. It implies a complete separation between the external world and the mind, suggesting that the existence of the world isn't contingent upon any form of consciousness or observation. This notion is fundamental to many realist philosophies, emphasizing the ontological independence of reality.

Mind-Independence: On the other hand, mind-independence pertains specifically to the independence of the external world from individual or collective human minds. It acknowledges that the existence and properties of objects in the world are not determined by human cognition or perception alone. This concept is often discussed in the context of debates about the nature of reality and the reliability of our sensory experiences.

By conflating these two forms of independence, we risk overlooking the nuances of each concept and potentially obscuring important distinctions in philosophical discourse. Recognizing the difference between absolute independence and mind-independence allows for a more precise analysis of philosophical frameworks, particularly within the broader context of realism and its variants. Clarifying these distinctions can lead to more fruitful discussions about the nature of reality, perception, and the relationship between the mind and the external world.

So is it correct to call both of them "absolute independence"?

No, it would not be correct to label both concepts as "absolute independence." Using the term "absolute independence" to describe both forms of independence could lead to confusion and misunderstandings within philosophical discourse.

It's important to maintain clarity by using terminology that accurately reflects the specific nuances of each concept. Referring to the independence of the external world from the mind as "absolute independence" and the independence of the external world from individual or collective human minds as "mind-independence" or "ontological independence" helps to distinguish between these related but distinct ideas.

By utilizing precise language, philosophers and scholars can engage in more nuanced discussions and avoid conflating different aspects of the philosophical debate surrounding the nature of reality and perception.

Your distinction between "relative independence" in Kantian empirical realism, where the independence of the mind is conditioned upon transcendental idealism, and "absolute independence" in direct and indirect realism, where the mind is considered independent of the external world in a broader sense, is well-founded.

Direct and indirect realists indeed argue for the mind's independence from the external world in a more absolute sense, emphasizing that the external world exists independently of our perceptions or mental representations. This independence extends beyond human existence, as exemplified by your reference to the moon existing before and after humanity.

Note, even after ChatGPT has pointed out the massive conflation fallacy that VA has been fraudulently basing his kindi word salad arguments for years, VA still refuses to admit his mistake.

But because of the incorrect use of the word "absolute", even in this latest response, ChatGPT is forced to phrase it as "more absolute sense" which is really too ambiguous to make sense.

At this point there is a near-total lack of clarity about what VA is actually trying to say. And if VA really can't tell apart realism's mind-independence and realism's absolute independence, then VA doesn't even know what he's talking about and never did.

(Also, yes, compared to each other, realisms are generally more "absolutist" than transcendental idealism, but that's simply what the positions entail, that's not an argument for anything. It's like pointing out that the sky is blue. We knew that.

Simply calling anything that works differently than transcendental idealism "fake", is not a killer argument either.)

Note that according to VA, the reason he isn't getting any usable answers from ChatGPT is that VA's intelligence is too low to ask adequate questions.

[Atla]

...

Note what AI [wR] has to say about your argumentation:

Does it prove that transcendental idealism is correct and indirect realism is incorrect, if we keep stating again and again (dozens, hundreds of times) that transcendental idealism is transcendental idealism and indirect realism is indirect realism?

No, simply repeating the terms "transcendental idealism" and "indirect realism" does not prove the correctness of one over the other. The validity of philosophical positions like transcendental idealism and indirect realism requires rigorous analysis, evidence, and logical reasoning, rather than just repetition of terminology.
