what if I write the wrong thing about the modal status of the objective nomology "be careful! your phenomenology too alethic! your nomology too modally loaded! they'll kill you!"

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

but the dang faerie finds little details of this or that statement to pick at & so we keep going back to the well... God forbid I Incidentally write something slightly askew about the epistemology of symmetries you know. Like if I did that, it's all over haha

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

philpapers.org/rec/MARSAS-35 this paper by the way "godogly how is this difficult paper in Synthese related to the question of consciousness?" barely fucking, that's how, it's barely fucking related

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I gotta get my writeup actually done good but the damn thingy is practically a book at this point because there are so many little details to fuss over like tell me why I'm trying to write about consciousness but end up struggling with physics papers about the nature of symmetry

but there are strong (&, imo, correct) structuralist accounts of color space that explain the (merely) apparent quiddity of colors by accounting for them in terms of their extrinsic relational profile on to other colors — if it really is a quale hunt we're after rather than consciousness simpliciter

230

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

we wonder (when we ask after the hard problem, anyway) how mere matter can be like anything; not why the thing it is like is specifically colorful

120

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

after all, we're not (for the most part) worried about why colors are colorful, we're instead confused by the fact that anything is significantly available us in the first place

110

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

nevertheless, godoglyness industries recommends the following formulation: instead of asking, "how do qualia work?" ask, "what is the nature of the transcendental precondition of all arising?" this will be closer to the core of the confusion!

150

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

and to be fair to the people for whom it seems like a compelling metonymy, well, it is true that when you're aware of qualia you're ipso facto aware — so, qualia do exemplify the mystery in question

220

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I'm resisting the urge to yell at the crow for using "qualia" as a metonymy for consciousness... ...though, to be fair, it's extraordinarily common

I'm not a dogs caretaker type but one housemate is on vacation and the other in atennessee to play a show, so, for the Time Being's sake blue the dog is leading me about on a string

*okay, fine, you caught me, technically i mean noematic structure. but horeshoes & hand grenades says "semantical" is a fine thing to say too

030

godoglyness @godoglyness.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

i think consciousness requires semantic* structure i think, barring some quite surprising news, that the sun does not realize semantic structure so i don't think the sun is conscious ...but if you set up the swirling plasma juuuuuust right...

Clause conglomerations, copula striations, cognize what lies & say what lays where phrase gives way & seas subsume the sortals: Language lies in layers in those literal littorals, fossilized like thous & thys four fathoms under yous & I's, semantical stratigraphy of the sentential sedimentary

well for me it was more, I thought of the phrase "sentential sentiments", & then I said it

Well I'm sure not gonna wait around for a John Searle thread to share the revelation that's for sure And besides I've got enough shoehorns to equip a brass band full of clowns; I can fit anything anywhere

Philosophy of mind is a "hovering apples discipline", many people are saying this

I was astounded! Here I am whining about John Searle's philosophy like "damn these people won't shut up about the Chinese Room" And he's like "wait! John Searle! I know that name!"

This isn't really like this, but I learned last night that a lawyer friend of mine (well, his client) sued John Searle for being a sex pest

i can't say i've ever imagined myself as a dog (despite what can only be called a "dog-adjacent" username) but i like my outfit (much better than what i really wear) & i like that notebook a good deal & of course we'd wear the bee pin if we had it
