Where did Trump specifically condemn white supremacy? My cousins felt energized by their views not being condemned as what they were (are).

You celebrate the tough talk in some contexts and deny it means anything in others. My cousins who celebrated the violence did not waffle as you do. F...

I watched much more than a few soundbites. The man can do no wrong in your eyes. I can't tell what that vision means for you. You only present him thr...

Compared to what? What little can be stitched together of our mutual past is a story of war followed by war. There have been some interesting interlud...

Leaving to the side (for a moment) the 'manufacture of consent' aspect of your defense of Trump, I am curious what you find attractive in his words an...

So, is that to say that you recognize a formal statement in one language but cannot translate it into another?

Well, I was a ventriloquist, throwing my voice with that observation. I sincerely hope that certain groups do not get the upper hand restricting right...

Which was the problem of the previous results not being accepted because one can do that if desired. The proof cannot be proven because the forces of ...

Thank you.

That image certainly captures the arrested development. But the Dorian Gray avatar unveiled at the jailhouse is probably the one E.J. Carroll saw comi...

Do you have a link to the essay or a title that can be searched?

Perhaps he is wearing a mask: https://www.nankeji.store/cdn/shop/files/oobeshimi.webp?height=720&v=1685173443 Or if we follow Oscar Wilde, perhaps he ...

The photo is much better than the painted portrait purchased through a purported charity a while back.

You have lived large.

As Aretha said: "It is raining men."

There are many possibilities and schemes to consider. But as that Austrian psychologist once said: "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

A feint as opposed to getting killed?

Understood.

I will let you go first.

Yes, I have read it. I was thinking you could represent the argument since it is at the bottom of your OP.

So, how to measure that against all the observations that games were played within rules that Wittgenstein described?

Okay. How would you put that view in your own words?

I don't know what to make of this place where you are collecting evidence for a particular purpose.

This view is odd since the Tractatus keeps referring to "what is the case." The Philosophical Investigations did not abandon this idea but accepted th...

I took the point of the observation to be that we can deliberately use what is not experienced (for the most part) to imagine a scene that is neither ...

I did not intend to assert that. We are at cross purposes. I withdraw from the field.

It is not speaking in generalities to ask how the "impossible" came about. The matter of the 'history of ideas' I brought up previously was not to arg...

The attempt to understand first principles comes from looking at the world as caused, not by the Wily Nilly of converging mythological agents, but thr...

Thinking of a single philosophy that 'rules them all' (or something of that kind) is different from the plurality of attempts to arrange the world acc...

It will be interesting to see if other states move forward with fake elector investigations. If the Georgia case leads to a conviction, the coordinati...

Judge Chutkan says: "The more a party makes “inflammatory” statements that could taint a jury pool, she said, “the greater the urgency will be that we...

I was thinking that the distinction between what Plato marked out as 'philosophical' versus purely 'disputational' went beyond particular theses or me...

The conspiracies noted in the indictment claim that efforts were made in many states, coordinated nationally by specific people. These are referred to...

With your interest in the text, I would like to add that Socrates seems to be admitting here that his speech has not always been purely philosophical....

Anamnesis, as it relates to forms, is a metaphor for learning but Plato uses others that do not treat objects of knowledge as something we possess alr...

I will try to do better tomorrow.

I figure this measure fits into the question of what figures for itself. And this question naturally leads into the purposes of rhetoric. When is an a...

Are you agreeing with some kind of judgement unavailable to the rest?

As negatively I have portrayed his opinions, I think of the 'reasonable' as requiring more of all of us. It should be a register that belittles our ef...

Well, that has always been a factor for Trump since he was marching across NYC real estate deals. Cool with people he hates as long as he gets the bet...

Dammit, that makes sense.

Here is a purely political question: Who will Trump select for his VP? Even if one were a completely committed MAGA personality, the burning cars on e...

This prompts me to think of Heraclitus. Everything is Becoming because the past is as Eternal as the Future. So, there is a nature that brings about w...

You are doing a good job representing the problems with statements made with such certainty, But your interlocutor will only pick out another detail t...

I am not sure how to weigh all the different global strategic shakedowns but the recent escalation since the end of the grain deal has turned the Blac...

What I find odd about the different groups packed into the Trump tent is where they are incompatible in terms of theri stated interests. The MAGA zens...

The end of 'metaphysics' is argued in certain theses. Well, there they are, to be discussed. What is a dialectic that could talk about it? An odd conv...

The way you have expressed it confuses me. Are you saying (or asking if) there is a difference between the back and forth of internal dialogue?
