Time is a duration thus along one timeline a color may be 90% yellow and %10 brown then change to %80 yellow and 20% brown. You cannot seperate time from a duration considering even an "instant", such as a clock hand moving a second, is a duration. Even the instant of swallowing food is a...

Um, say what?

I'm lost already when I read "All being summated as context." I haven't the foggiest what that would be saying. What the hell does it mean to "summate" anything "as context"???

Not sure of your point. The OP is about 'How do we see' not about 'consciousness' per se. The point in the OP do not solve the 'hard problem of consciousness' at all. What would we mean by expecting, elaborating and even seeing where we're not talking about consciousness? In this case of the OP, co...

If we can tell that particular brain/nervous system/eye events are "the brain expecting to see something and elaborating an image" then what the hell is all of this debate re whether we have explained consciousness? We've apparently solved it already (at least insofar as we can say that x...

But I just asked a VERY SIMPLE and VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD, Truly OPEN CLARIFYING QUESTION, to you, ONLY. ANY ASSUMPTION or BELIEVE about "arguing" is ALL of your OWN making and imagination, ALONE. If you are UNABLE to just CLARIFY what just one word means or refers to, to you, (and especia...

If you SEE that when I just ask you a Truly OPEN CLARIFYING QUESTION, for CLARITY, is "getting into an argument", then you are FAR MORE DISILLUSIONED than I first observed and noticed. Is it REALLY just to hard and/or complex for you to just inform us of the word 'philosophy' actually mea...

If, to you, one can DO philosophy, then what, exactly, does the word 'philosophy' actually mean or refer to, to you here? I've no interest in getting into an argument about what philosophy refers to. If you SEE that when I just ask you a Truly OPEN CLARIFYING QUESTION, for CLARITY, is "getting...

The methodology of doing philosophy

But could just 'inquiry', itself, make one Truly happy and/or content, if they are NOT finding answers? Yes of course it could. Just about anything could make some particular person happy/content. Depends on the person and what they like, their preferences, their dispositions, etc. After all what w...

"If the purpose of modern life is in achieving some semblance of happiness/contentment, philosophical inquiry is not going to get you there "

What if philosophical inquiry in itself is one of the things that makes you happy and content?

This is rather a good example of the sort of thing that a calculation can _not_ do.

Is it a sound political philosophy, for the New York Times to do reviews, or commentaries, of people who work as employees at supermarkets in the UK, in the context that the reviews are criticisms, like how movie journalists do reviews of movies?
