We can conceive of an object that is physically identical to a chair but lacks the chairness of the chair, therefore the chairness of the chair is an immaterial Platonic object.
> physically identical but lacks chairness. . .how tf can anyone do that retard??
>>18481588We do that the same way we conceive of two people who are physically identical but one of whom lacks consciousness.
>>18481603So is consciousness the essence or definition of what it means to be human? If so, what is this consciousness you speak of?
>>18481774You can't speak of consciousness you can only understand it intuitively
>>18481439Platonism is so fucking stupid
>>18481798ok, retard, then I *intuit* that your Platonism is stupid. My consciousness says so.
Everything is a chair if you are brave enough
>>18481848Glad it offended you enough to respond. My work is done here.
>>18481857me when i say something stupid but claim it was ragebait after the fact
>>18481774>So is consciousness the essence or definition of what it means to be human?Why would it need to be? I never said it was.
>>18481588>chair: a seat typically having four legs and a back for one person.In a world without people to sit on chairs, would chairs continue being chairs despite no longer being able to serve their function? Or, if a collection of atoms spontaneously arranged into the shape of a chair on a distant planet where no one would ever have the opportunity to sit on it, would that still count as a chair?
