When you say logic and math aren't about anything at all, do you extend this application all the way to include the internal consistency of logic and ...
Well, if a fact about science is a science fact, then you must explain how a science fact is not science. Take for example electrolysis, the process o...
My thinking here is simple: we talk about science; we talk about art; sometimes we see scientific sensibilities conflicting violently with artistic se...
Regarding my thesis, going forward from what you wrote above entails assessing whether experimentation is modally existential, with the hows and whys ...
You've been clear: science is science; art is art. Your definitions are clear: science observes and measures; art narrates living through love \leftri...
Take for example the discovery that light waves bend around gravitational fields; that's an outcome predicted by Relativity. It's one of the end games...
Your clause fragment above puts on a good show for establishing the proximity of the arts and sciences, and yet, I wonder if you feel that a descripti...
Since science is done presumably only by humans, the authoritatively binary distinction you seek to establish between science and art reads like an ex...
I sense great depth of meaning in your sentence above. So far I cannot sound the deep waters here, beyond vaguely ruminating on the connections betwee...
What I've underlined is succinct and insightful. Bravo. It's a clear expression of a basic value guiding the scientific process. I know one of the bes...
Yes. The sciences and the humanities are each seriously concerned with both "what" and "how." Yes. The sciences and the humanities are not mutually ex...
philosophy -- the study of ideas about knowledge, truth, the nature and meaning of life, etc. --The Britannica Dictionary Do you agree that this defin...
What if you had written: (In fact, it would also be philosophically interesting to elaborate why exactly your example sentence is not philosophical.)?...
So, your behavior follows patterns exhibiting moral principles, thus you are your own moral authority. If I'm right about this, then you understand ot...
Not even your own? If you refuse to internalize moral principles you believe in and abide by, you're making yourself indistinguishable from a sociopat...
You seem to be an adherent of the law of the jungle: survival by any means possible. You think anarchy a companion to evolution? You think social welf...
The fall of humanity into an inherently sinful nature had been a pretty good myth for checking human deceitfulness. In the wake of its obliteration by...
A strong institution with generally accepted moral authority that establishes the moral compass is what humanity has been losing since the Enlightenme...
Preternatural mastery of gaslighting: massaging the Supreme Court into giving you cover for the insurrection that wasn't an insurrection. "Now ladies ...
Sound judgments about authenticity are tough calls to make during stormy times. Dug-in opponents succumbed to rage harden themselves against calls for...
There is a sub-clause to this structure of upward mobility that complicates it somewhat. Tokenism. A few showcase individuals who work their way up fr...
Depends on how many of the military personnel defect to join your supposed Trump-led insurrection. Without significant numbers from the bona fide mili...
No doubt some unexplainable luck factors into the mix regarding the phenomenal success of any particular individual. History features mediocrity eleva...
Yes. The game requires astute governance of the masses by elite bosses who contain and appease the public by acting through popular representatives wh...
Excellent point. I think the exercise of power often pairs money with guns to form a potent duet. Puppet despots can be bribed, but the quelling of a ...
This is my understanding of the liberal/conservative divide. The masses at the bottom of the liberal group are (socio-economically) developing individ...
With some apprehension, I want to declare that in America, the sacred artifact is not the Holy Cross, but rather the loaded gun. Gadget-crazy material...
Okay. Let's look at my dialog with noAxiom once again: If find it useful to begin an exam of the writer's post by asking grammatical questions. That's...
Consider: a human individual navigates his way through the natural world. His perceiving mind processes the incoming data from his senses towards the ...
Is ‘object’ the antecedent of ‘it.’? Does “convention” equal “A way in which something is usually done in accordance with an established pattern.”? Ar...
language - a system of human communication rooted in variations in the form of a verb (inflection) by which users identify voice, mood, tense, number ...
If we work backwards one causal step: "where the gun is pointed," how do we know the gun doesn't know the combustion differential between the paper an...
You've just designed a gun that emits a destructive heat ray. Your IC board supports three settings for the temperature of the emitted heat ray. In or...
This clarification is very helpful. AGI can independently use its algorithms to teach itself routines not programmed into it? At the risk of simplific...
There's the issue of what you assume, and there's also the issue of what your language implies. Is metacognition limited to monitoring and control eve...
Given your use of the reflexive pronoun, I infer your assumption functional AGI will possess: consciousness, independence and self-interest. Given the...
"Bravo," to Enoah for starting a conversation about the uncontainability of art. I wanna add my two cents by talking about art as the "meta-experience...
Bob Ross' words speak for me as well. Since I see great value in the rules of order within American courtrooms, I want to deliver my closing argument ...
I read your response as a "yes" to my question. So, philosophy is to science as grammar is to humanities. There are ground rules for continuity and co...
