Seeing red

[bennyboy]

First of all nothing, again.... you are equivocating, and again, it doesn't matter because I understand what you mean.  You don't have any "dream eyes".  That's an imaginary organ.  That should probably have tipped -you- off to the fact that you're equivocating before I ever had cause to mention it.  Next thing you know you'll be telling me how your heart feels and what justice tastes like.................you have "visual qualia" with your eyes closed.  To call this seeing is to shit on sight.

Seeing a red apple as a red apple in my dream and "telling me how your heart feels and what justice tastes like" are hardly the same thing. My description of my dream apple (let's say), if it is an equivocation, is an equivocation made by the brain rather than a dishonest description on my part. It is a problem for you that the imagination can construct things that never existed, because that means ideas are not necessarily representative of reality.

Not what a stolen or borrowed concept means, and this is why you could never grasp the trouble you created for yourself in your arguments for idealism..you -still- don't know wtf a stolen concept is, and I'm tired of explaining it to you.

You keep saying it, and it has never been true. But hypocrisy is real.

 -You- are the one pestering me about ideas.  I think about neurons, about states, as I've made expressly clear.   Do you doubt the existence of neurons or states?

Not at all. In fact, I see states, and information, in absolutely everything. It is your job to narrow these many states down into "ideas" and "not-ideas," and in doing so, you've constantly referred to things using dualistic and arbitrary terms.
