I undestand that you mean this in a figurative way. But still, you have not answered any question. I have mentioned Zeno's Achilles and the Tortoise p...

At last! A response to my challenge! Even after one week. I can't believe it's a difficult challenge for this place. In fact, expected a lot of respon...

I was talking about my response to your topic. What the hell has @FrancisRay to do with it? That's totally crazy.

You invited people to participate to your discussion. Basic courtesy demands that you reply to someone who has responded. Even with just a "Thanks" .....

I know that you are on that side, too. :smile:

Please read again what I said: "Neither is the mind a product of or resides in the brain. Not only Descartes. No one can find the find somewhere. Beca...

What does (meta)biology have to do with the mind? Biology is physical. The mind is non-physical. Metabiology is the knowledge and study of biological ...

More wasted time ...Bye, bye for good now.

I would respect your opinion if it weren't evasive and meaningless: "I don't undestand your comments" means nothing. There's a big difference between ...

That's much better. Now there can be a dialogue. :smile: What do you mean by "taking it as axiomatic"? I take it by definition. How else could one tak...

Why have you quoted my whole --3 paragraph, 136 words-- message, when you didn't coment on anything in it? In fact, why have you quoted me at all? Wha...

Of course. This is not about contratictory pair --of the kind of Aristotle's "Of every contradictory pair one member is true and one false"-- that I c...

Let's see ... 1) Man is white. 2) Man is not white. Which is true and which is false? Or can they both be true? Or are they both false? What is it tha...

We meet fallacies quite often. Most of the time in places like this one. Of course, since making philosophical and logical arguments is at the core of...

Common fallacy? It occurs too often in Wikipedia??? It's the first time I hear about "Euclid's Postulate 5"! And I'm a fan of Math and paradoxes ...

I know what I said. I asked what exactly is wrong with that. Well, I found out what exactly is my mistake. The correct modus tollens scheme is: "If A,...

Maybe I did. Can you also explain to me why? What did I say exactly that is wrong and why? (I would be obliged. Because rarely people do that!:smile:)

Why are you repeating to me the quote what @KantDane21 has written? Do you think that he has not said it loud enough or that I am hard of hearing? :gr...

@niki wonoto has "left the building"! ... But he forgot to take his topic with him! :grin:

Modus tollens logic is of the form "If A, then B. Not A. Therefore, not B." Let's see ... "If I dream, it means I am sleeping. I don't dream. Therefor...

There is no meaning in ... this topic.

Interesting idea! Can you reproduce that? :smile: (Re-create it, not copy it)

I certainly doubt about that too. As, I believe, most physicists too some years ago. This is a visualization experiment has been produced only "four y...

OK

OK

You make it sound like a simple phsychological game. I'm afraid there's much more to it than just that. One does not risk his job, his income and the ...

Not quite clear to me, esp. the last statement, but it's OK.

Ha! I read this after I responding in the Inbox. So you can get a slight idea how it is with Greece. And I me, with Spain. :smile:

All that is very interesting, Benkei. Thank you for sharing. :up:

Oh, then you should tell so --that you are an insider-- from the beginning ... I would have been more careful in the way I expressed my comment! :grin...

OK. I understand that you have valid reasons for saying all that and that you have personally benefited from being a union member ...

Yes, this is the central idea, I think. Right. I learned about that too in the way! :smile:

Benkei, my reaction to the payment of the members by the union was too absolute and so in part wrong. I referred to regular payment, income, as you sa...

Maybe in some cases and countries. But this is not a regular pay. It's a kind of compensation. Anyway, my reaction to the payment of the members by th...

I Maybe so. I have not weighed them on a scale. :smile: I just mentioned that there are pros and cons, to show that unions are not always or necessari...

I Google-translated the first para of the article. It seems that there is a kind of compensation from union funds for the workers for ther loss of inc...

I can hardly believe this. Have you any reference in which a Dutch union pays its members in the case of strikes? But even if this were true, it will ...

John Stuart Mill, in the quote you brought in, speaks from an idealistic viewpoint. He talks about "liberty" and "necessity". Here we have a specific,...

You don't know about the unionization in Greece! :grin: In fact, only social democratic countries --real ones, not those governed by leftish (allegedl...

I believe these two are incompatible with each other as to the direction and recipient of the effect (fear and anger). Fear works against the employee...

There are cons and prons with labor unions ... Pros 1. Unions provide worker protections. 2. Unions promote higher wages and better benefits. 3. Union...

Where have you heard that from? Unions are paid by their members; they don't pay their members!

I wouldn't expect something less confusing and unnecessary complicated than this from Sartre! :grin:

I fully agree. :up:

There are a lot of sectors in business world --besides companies-- where such an inequality --and even worse-- is happening, unfortunately. See what's...

Hi! Nice topic! I have answered "scabbing", taking of course into consideration the reason for scabbing you have mentioned. I believe this is the most...

I certainly agree. Shortcut or "longcut" knowledge is not a criterion. The first can sometimes even be more valuable than the second. There's a lot of...
