I will do this, thanks m8, I have a very peculiar anima/waifu so I like to think it would be funny at least

That's not how p-zombies work. P-zombies can believe that they have qualia and human beings can believe that they don't have qualia. Technically, the presence (or absence) of consciousness in their bodies do not determine their beliefs in any shape or form (and if you believe that it does, then the concept of p-zombie becomes self-contradictory).

Nah, he just pretends not to understand the hard problem of consciousness because it is not pragmatically useful for his work (since he just wants to formulate empirical questions for neuroscientists, and said questions clearly cannot entail non-physical entities)

What do you mean by that? How can a qualia be oserved in third person? An even more interesting question (which Dennett simply cannot answer, since he pretends that the hard problem of consciousness does not exist) is: how can you know that a given mental states (e.g. a visual perception) are correlated to a physical state present in a body that is different than yours?

The first hypothesis in Parmenides can serve two purposes: 1) it offers a conceptual scheme concerning what is truly trascendent (which is why it has been used so much to build up theologies, i.e. Plotinus, Proclus) and 2), and this is what is relevant for our case, it presents both a) the substratum of Ideas (what they would be in total absence of participation), while also b) positing this substratum as fallacious when it is used to refer to specific Ideas (as in: when we deal with Ideas with discoursive reason, it is fallacious to use them in the sense of a), since discursive reason, as it is explained in Sophist, requires the presence of participative relations between Ideas).
Whzt is relevant in this distinction, is that the essence of any Idea (ehich is obtained through participations with other Ideas) is not a predicate of the Ideal substratum. This means that Ideas are not auto-predicatory, and if Ideas are not so, then the whole TMA fails.

I always was larping on reddit, 4chan and other forums, but this year it got completely out of control. I wrote more than 100 larp stories so far this year. Here are some examples, where I pretend to be
>Divorced man who realizes many great things about his wife after starting living with the new gf
>Football coach who is struggling with his new female team
>Ethiopian immigrant gets shocked by BLM and SJW movements at SUNY
>American exchange student in Poland stunned by lack of pc culture, but learns to love it
>Single mom, who is resentful that his new boyfriend gets along better with her children than her
>Doctor who believes that Glucosamine is the best medicine against cancer, but is failing to bring awareness on it
>Promiscuous teenage girl entangled in web of lies to her conservative family
>Teenager writing shitty poems and pick up lines
>78 years old retired engineer experimenting with anti-aging drugs with mixed results
>Mountain climber who saw a cave with a red door while climbing Cerro Torre
>Man is choosing between his two ex-gfs.
>Man starts reading Caracteres by Jean de la Bruyere and gets completely new, negative outlook to himself, his friends and family
>SJW student reads Fountainhead and realizes her own contribution to current dystopian society
>Masochistic man finds ultimate enjoyment in suicidal thoughts
>Businessman, who advocates for savings before investments
>Failed writer, writes her first shorts story after 15 years for her niece's college homework and it gets published
>Woman, whose husband refuses to come back from Thailand and wants whole family move there
>Woman starts working out with her brother and having great results feels resentful to her previous female coaches
>Man is planning to exterminate thousands of cats at the forest near his house in order to save birds

And so on, and so on... These are just some of LARPs that I wrote this year. Some of them get hundreds of comments, some get barely any attention. Honestly, it's consuming most of my free time. Between my work, friends, gf and this mega-larping, I barely have sleep these days. When I go to sleep I have these ideas rolling in my head and I get up to write a plot and then, usually, it turns to researching the topic. It has to stop somewhere, please recommend me something.
