Monké Don't Do Taxes
*He is accused of since yesterday

Anyway I don't even know this streamer, but this sounds so silly and so pointless if true.
He's an infamous political streamer that regularly calls for violence. He admitted to owning shock collars and said they were "very effective." There's an extremely high chance he used a shock collar on his dog, seeing how he moved his hand to something off screen and immediately followed with the dog screaming.

I follow a yt channel whose owners are friends with Hasan and featured him in some of their videos. Haven't looked up much about the guy but he gives off psycho vibes. He seems to be one of those who can't hide their insanity even if they tried.
 
I mean if you are a materialist who is stupid enough to utter words like "projection" as a description of something supposedly non-existent, I guess it makes sense you would call the existence of universals and concepts an abuse of language
A projection is a usage to explain a form of conceptualization or interpretation. It's not hard to understand.


which, in the context of describing how the mind works is nonsense because they are saying a material faculty like the brain can account for an immaterial actions like self-reflection or conceptual thought
:kobeha:
Again, self-reflection is not an immaterial action, it's a neuronal process. All happening inside you brain, what you could call immaterial is the raw feeling (qualia in this context) of said self expression, not the actual process behind it. That's what I'm killing myself to explain to you at the moment.


Best way to this sum up is "fortes fortuna adiuvat". With Luffy as fortuna.
I'm not sure it's the best context. Luffy will not really cheer but wait patiently rather, in observation. Helping is not doing at the place of others, but rather creating the conditions for others to help themselves on their own without you. Sometimes, helping is recognizing that we take the space and we must not intervene. I deal with thatIRL with people trying to help but actually making things worse.

you still didnt adress the phenomenon of consciousness and self reflection in animals though, or are you fine with some intelligent species of animals also having a soul?
They do have souls, although it is different from that of humans. They could have an intellect (I personally doubt this)

Are you a nominalist, logiko?

Well qualia just refers to the subjective qualities of sensory experience.

Self-reflection often does not involve qualia inherently, it sometimes does but not always. I am not sure why it is being brought up

Not really, I believe that some concept have material realities (capitalism for ex is a mode of production), so it seems - after looking at the philosophical concept because I'm not an expert - that I'm not really a "nominalist" but there are some good ideas in it.

Because the only immaterial things in self reflection are "qualia", the "raw feelings" of the process, the "experience" of self reflection.

But self reflection is not just a feeling, it's a material process happening inside the brain, before even the fact of you being aware of it.

OK, I am asking because in philosophy materialism implies nominalism which is why nominalists are almost always materialists and vice versa. I don't think the two are seperable

Nominalism is the idea that universals doesnt exist, only particular things "this cellphone", ""that chair". Names just name label particular things in general terms.

Its not about whether a concept has a material reality or not

I checked and it seems nominalist considers concept as devoided of reality, when people like me consider some concept (not all) as having real material significance.

As such I think nominalism can be a way to be materialist but being materialist doesn't really necessarily means being nominalist.

Mhh.. confusing, I saw different definitions. I simply don't know then


Actual materialists deny qualia exist, or have no mode of accounting for it, so you are not really a materialist
Not necessarily. There are different radicality inside materialism consider the immaterial reality as relevant, but radical materialist like me will have a hard time accepting it.

It's useless to say to me "you are not materialist" when you do not understand what materialism is in the first place lol
 
I think a materialist approach can be good, not in the physicalist sense, but in the sense that you look at all the factors involved in something and analyse it based on that, like looking at all the "materials" involved and figuring out how to solve a problem based on that

Physicalism is not really necessary to have a political look on the world, materialism is more than enough. (at least for our current political paradigm)

It is fucking questionable if you are even a materialist at all if you affirm qualia, concept/universals as existing (albeit only within particulars), yet you say you are a radical materialist. U just want to be edgy and call yourself radical

you can be a materialist and affirm qualia,
the people who not affirm are the illusionists

I think you should start by understanding materialism, and material realities before telling me what to think about materialism.

I think it's for the best. Assassin's creed, while fun, is completely lost on politi, completely centrist and fundamentally neo-colonist in mindset.

Such game would require more than just historians, but also political activists (anti-racists mainly). I don't think they are ready for that.
