I think this is where we fundamentally disagree. I don't think we know what a carburettor is before we see one. I think we see it and then that...
I agree that if you were actually showing those things to a child, who doesn't have the logical impressions to deduce it from basic axioms, you...
Where did these ideas come from if not from impressions? Where they created out of nothing? If your brain can create knowledge apart from sense...
There must be some reason you were convinced it was true? How could be believe that certain angles add to 180° if you don't know about degrees? If...
I like to imagine a brain in a vat without any nerves attached. Maybe that brain would still get some inputs, but hypothetically we could cap the...
I don't think it is independent of empirical testing. We may not empirically test the angles of a triangle directly, but that proof relies on...
I agree that Hume's argument is that all knowledge ultimately comes from the senses. But I think Hume would agree that we can have knowledge of...
Ill have to go read some Leibniz then. And yes probably best to avoid a full on debate but just a few quick points. I agree that the sense data...
I think the objects themselves are not part of our human experience. It is our sense data which is the experience, and this data can be combined...
I think that Hume was right in that all knowledge comes from experience. So any way in which you show or prove something has to at some level be...
Posts moved from Symptom perceptions, illness beliefs and coping in chronic fatigue syndrome, 2009, Moss-Morris Although that is still not...
Lets say you had 100 people, and you went one by one and to check if each person's symptoms were caused by stress. You start at person 1 and get...
That is why stress is not a useful concept in this discussion. Stress can mean all of those things, all of which refer to different concepts and...
I think we need to be much more specific when talking about stress in this context. When you say, "this is just one aspect of stress" I think that...
What is your definition of stress?
The HCs in that study had lower SCP volumes than the LC patients in the above study (who had much lower SCP volumes than their controls). Not sure...
People always judge others behavior in terms of how they think they would react in a certain situation. But I think that ignores what it would be...
The volume reduction in the SCP seem significant enough that you'd have expected it to be picked up in a previous study. Perhaps it has been.
I occasionally take an acetaminophen/codeine product that I find quite useful. It helps with headaches and pain while using. On subsequent days...
What was it that changed your mind? Was it was your own personal experience? Because that might be great evidence for you, but that isn't a good...
