An Offer by tgjorgoski 5-14-07
The only way to convince people that we aren't doing philosophy because we can't do anything else...	...is to show them that we CAN get rich and powerfull, just if we decided to put our superior intellects to such task. What do we do? Start a Philosophers' Mafia?	Few Days Later... I got an offer that I can't understand.

 

Matrix Generation by tgjorgoski 5-16-07
So, you don't believe there is a reality? Matrix - the movie opened my eyes. There is no reality. We are just brains in vats.	But even so... Those brains in vats, they will be in some reality. Right? Hihihihi, aren't you a smart young man.	If you say so. There is no reality! It is just vats all the way down!

 

Imaginary Philosopher by tgjorgoski 9-28-07
Who are you? I'm an imaginary philosopher.	If you are imaginary, how come that I can see you? Imaginary doesn't have to mean invisible.	Hm... One can imagine both visible and invisible philosophers.

 

How to tell by tgjorgoski 10-07-07
Prof. Anderson explains problem of other minds to an AI It is the question about how do we justify our belief that other people are conscious.	For example, I can't be sure that you are conscious.

A Philosophy Joke by tgjorgoski 12-16-07
You know what happens when I try to tell philosophical jokes? What?	Instead of laughing, people start giving serious counter-arguments. I think that I suck at telling jokes. I don't think it is that. It is just that philosophers are used to discuss silly possibilities some times.	There, it happens again. I was trying to make a joke. I hate this meta-stuff

Kant by tgjorgoski 4-07-08
So, Kant warned us about contradictions which will appear when we try to apply reason to things which fall outside its limits. Can you give an example?	If somebody is born on 29 Feb. in 1980, he will have his fourth birthday in 1996. So, he will be four, while having lived for 16 years! ?	To translate Kant to you, our mental faculties haven't evolved to tackle this sort of things. OUR?

 

Good explanation by tgjorgoski 7-03-08
But Holmes... Dear Watson, we eliminated all which is impossible, so whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.	So you really think that... Yes Watson, I'm affraid we are fictional characters	Well, it certainly explains a lot.

 

More Probable by tgjorgoski 7-03-08
Holmes, one thing I don't understand. Why did you think that it is improbable for us to be fictional characters? It is simple. There are much more real people than fictional characters. So for any particular person, it is more probable that he is real.	What if right now, I make up a story about bilions of fictional people? Oh no...	You just made it more probable that we are fictional characters #@#!!!%

 

Fictional conscious experience by tgjorgoski 7-03-08
Wouldn't it be easy to tell that we are fictional characters on base that we lack conscious experience? Dear Watson, human fictional characters will have fictional conscious experience. They won't be much of a fictional humans otherwise.	And we are supposed to be humans? You are missing my point...	Hate to break it to you Holmes, but you have a beak on your head. I'm done talking to you Watson.

 

Giving Your Life For An Idea by tgjorgoski 7-11-08
Let's get out of here! They saw us. How do you know?	What do you mean how do I know... They are looking at us, the are walking this way! It is obvious! But why do you think it is obvious? It isn't obvious to me. I might reconsider it though if you admit that 1+1=2 is obviously true too.	F**k! They just shot you in the leg! Aaaaah! I... I... don't... I don't think it is obvious that they did.

 

Thinking About the Sun by tgjorgoski 2-11-09
What is underlying our belief that things will continue being as they were?	We go to bed thinking that the Sun will rise tomorrow, but can we... I lately can't stop thinking about that girl from CSI when I go to bed.	?!!!? Ahem, Hmm...OK... The Sun... Yes, I think about the Sun too...
