Taboo “I”. For all the ways of interpreting that claim that I can come up with, I’d give a probability either much, much higher or much, much lower than 50%.
Could you list the ways? I’m interested to hear which ways you think would give a probability much higher than 50%.
Also, telling me to taboo “I” is telling me to give a successful analysis of consciousness; if I could already do that, I wouldn’t assign 50% probability to it being one thing, and 50% probability to it being another.
I mean, sometimes by the word “I” I mean my System 2 (as in “I’m not sure what the effect of stricter gun control on the homicide rate would be”), sometimes I mean my System 1 (as in “I’m not scared of spiders”), sometimes I mean my body (as in “I’ve got a backache”), sometimes I mean my car (as in “I’m parked over there”), etc. Which one did you mean there?
...Oh. Now I can see a reasonable non-tautological, non-tautologically false interpretation of your entry.
