You have to understand this is your personal interpretation.It's a matter of logic that agency of a choice can only be identified with a choice. That is what disqualifies agency as being material.

Re: Heuristics and Human Creativity
I haven't takeo on any metaphysica position. I just don't find I have the option with many aesthetic choices. There might be a little wiggle room. I can try to find reasons to like something. I can read critique of it and then this sometimes changes my reaction. So, I can choose to experience things that now lead me to have a new aesthetic reactions. But this only is available. And it is not a choice to react differently, it is a choice to have experiences such that the painting elicits a new reaction.
Still not clear. Here it sould like you are saying the choice is about whehter to assert it is beautiful, an interpersonal choice. But I doubt that's what you mean.No you don't only experience the beauty after you chose the opinion it is beautiful, the experience of the beauty is in the agency of the choice to say it is beautiful.
Though finding something beautiful is not a choice between to objects. I can find ten in a row ugly. And speaking of ugly, there are some art works I simply cannot choose to find beautiful, and vice versa.Validation is only about that it works without logic error.
Essentially this is about how agency of a choice can be identified. Logic demands that agency of a choice can only he identified with a choice. If B is chosen over A, then the question what made the choice turn out B, can only be answered with a choice between X and Y, where either X or Y is equally valid.

Re: Heuristics and Human Creativity
You are just confusing choosing the word beautiful, with choosing to love the way the painting looks, it's a strawman.Karpel Tunnel wrote: ↑October 16th, 2018, 7:14 amI haven't takeo on any metaphysica position.

Re: Heuristics and Human Creativity
I may be doing that. I am trying to understand your position.
If I see the painting, can I choose whether I have a positive or negative aesthetic reaction?

How would it not be validated if, say, the universe always existed, perhaps in some pantheist or panentheist form`?

Re: Heuristics and Human Creativity
Logic requires that the answer to a question about what it is that makes a choice, can only be answered with a choice.
That a word is chosen does not mean words are the only thing chosen. In creationism there are two categories creator and creation, and anything must fit in either category, or it is inconsistent with creationism. Since one can model the universe, therefore the existence of the universe is a fact, therefore the universe must be a creation and not a creator.

Re: Heuristics and Human Creativity
So, it is in the word choice, not in the general reaction one has. One does not choose the batch of emotions and sensations that one indicates on feels by using the word 'beautiful', it is the choice amongst the various related terms for that batch of emotions and sensations. Or?
If it is to be accurate? I am not sure what this means. Could you give a concrete example - I realize that the beautiful issue may have been that, but perhaps even more specific.Logic requires that the answer to a question about what it is that makes a choice, can only be answered with a choice.
What else is chosen when in that first seeing a specific Gaughin, I say outloud to my brother who is with me in the museum 'that is beautiful'?That a word is chosen does not mean words are the only thing chosen.
Must fit in one of them or at least one of them or both?In creationism there are two categories creator and creation, and anything must fit in either category, or it is inconsistent with creationism.
If this sentence is an entire argument I don't think it is a complete argument. One can model things that do not exist. A map of Middle Earth. The anatomy of an alien creature as part of a sci-fi movie preproduction process.Since one can model the universe, therefore the existence of the universe is a fact, therefore the universe must be a creation and not a creator.
And here again, if this seems like a straw man argument, I am not trying to disprove what you are saying, but rather showing you how what you are saying comes across, so that you can either correct what I am not understanding or then perhaps confirm that I am correct about what you are saying but disagree with my argument. I find your way of presenting ideas as seeming to make leaps, sometimes use language in ways I am not sure is the conventional use of the words and seeming sometimes to be making statements that might not connect with the points I am raising. But I am not sure. I like different approaches and I am interested in the idea that creationism - that is that there is a creator - is somehow deducible, but not in the usual theist approaches to this. But I am, at the same time, finding it very hard to follow. So please treat my posts not as aggressive or dismissive but as me triangulating.

Re: Heuristics and Human Creativity
An opinion is formed by choice, and expresses what it is that makes a choice.
Choice is the mechanism of creation, defined as making an alternative future the present.
Accuracy applies to facts not to opinions. President Trump is a nice person. This opinion is valid if it is chosen. Meaning the opinion is invalid if it is forced, including if the opinion is forced by evidence, forced by taste, forced by ideology, forced by upbringing, forced by chemistry in the brain, or forced in any other way whatsoever. One must have the options available nice, and bad, and choose one of them, in spontaneous expression of emotion with free will.
A model of some non existent alien creature, whatever. One can make a 1 to 1 corresponding model of the model, therefore the existence of the model is a fact. Things in imagination, you can also make a 1 to 1 corresponding model of them, therefore the existence of them as being fantasies is a fact, therefore they are creations and not creators.
You could devise words which have both subjective and objective parts to them in the definition. So what.

Re: Heuristics and Human Creativity
A process note: if you don't quote specific points I made, but rather respond in bulk, it leads to a much less clear discussion. I don't know which parts of what you wrote above are responses to which, if any, specific questions I asked or points I raised. You have repeated your position, but not in any way interacted with my ideas. I have no idea if you have understood what I meant, which points you think you are responding to in a given part of your post, and to respond I must pretty begin again. There are people who respond this way and obvously you are free to, but to me it is a waste of time. I could just as well gone back and read some early post where you formulate your position. Consider that this way of responding comes off as evasive and not able to directly respond to the points I've made or answer the questions I've asked. It is easy to simply restate one's position. It saves one actually interacting with a different mind. I'll leave you to others more patient with this style of responding or 'responding'Syamsu wrote: ↑October 17th, 2018, 9:16 am A fact is obtained by evidence forcing to produce a 1 to 1 corresponding model of a creation.

Re: Heuristics and Human Creativity
From what I can gather it is an issue with semantics. Syamsu says one things and to our ears it doesn’t mean to us what it means to him. When dealing with time it’s a tricky business.pumpkinalex wrote: ↑October 25th, 2018, 11:42 pm What kind of fallacy is this?
