I’m open to a continuing conversation. Your post just gave me the impression that you weren’t trying to read my writing in a careful manner. To be honest, the number of punctuation oddities and unusual phrasings in your post made me believe you simply didn’t care about the discussion. This is a rather deep and technical topic, so it doesn’t seem worth my time to interact with someone who isn’t invested.
Worst yet you didn’t even respond to this question of mine:
Have you experienced this psychological effect?
This was a key question, because if your response is “no” or it turns out that you don’t know what it means to experience philosophical skepticism in the tradition of e.g. David Hume in the conclusion of Book I of A Treatise of Human Nature, then we’re going to have to delve into the nature of that psychological effect from a much more fundamental point of view.
Pushing aside isn’t solving, it’s dissolving at best.
Participating on Less Wrong suggests that you should know that dissolving in many cases is solving.
I think you have made a fundamental error about what philosophical scepticism is in the first place, so I am not motivated to drill down any further than it takes to point that out. It’s also pretty unpromising for a discussion to start off with a claim to have a final solution.
Worst yet you didn’t even respond to this question of mine:
Are you aware that you have failed to answer at least half the questions I posed to you?
Have you experienced this psychological effect?
I don’t agree that “philosophical scepticism” refers to a feeling, and nothing else, in the first place. You need to take a step back.
participating on Less Wrong suggests that you should know that dissolving in many cases is solving.
Participating in many other things has shown me that LessWrong is quite confused about solution and dissolution. Solving a problemimokues it ever existed. Dissolving a problem is generally showing it never existed, so the two are not compatible.
Are you announcing a final solution or do you want a continuing conversation?
