Heh I wouldn't be surprised if I made a few mistakes. I did write it out while following the symbols though :D -- but I take your point that it's not ...
For all x there exists a y for all z such that if P is a property of x and there exists a u such that -- Q is a property of y or u is a property of R ...
...though part of my interest here is also in how it seems plausible that sound would effect things in a strictly physical analysis, and if you replic...
Keep 'em coming. I like to be corrected -- it helps me learn. Alot of this is fuzzy in my head so I'm all ears -- formal training was an eternity ago,...
I know that's a kind of fearful use of this technology -- but it strikes me as something like Jurassic Park: Very interesting extrapolation of the sci...
So "P ? Q" can be read as "P is contained within Q", and it makes sense of material implication because P can be empty set, which is a member of every...
I flip these values accidentally in my mind all the time. I could just be confusing myself. When stating it in terms of probability space my thought i...
Yes that's very helpful, thanks. I was getting lost in the idea of a probability space and how that relates to "contains in", but the visualization ma...
Thanks :). This is a meaty post. Almost too much for me :D -- one thing that's interesting is your reduction of material implication to set theory. I'...
I remember enjoying it -- it's something of a lament and criticism of disenchantment as the one true knowledge. The plant studies stuck with me as an ...
Fair enough. I agree it doesn't fit the form -- people don't actually say the implication, it's only equivalent to the implication (but so are so many...
True. The one time he did we all know it's because his wife grilled him the night before and he felt guilty but ever since the divorce it's been same ...
A = "George is going to open the store tomorrow" So, by substitution: George is going to open the store tomorrow implies George is not going to open t...
A thought I have is sarcasm, but in the context of asserting a falsehood mistakenly. So I can sarcastically say "George is going to open the store tom...
If dialethism is true then pluralism is true. Dialethism is true as it resolves the liar's paradox in a clear, non-vacuous way. Therefore, pluralism i...
Heh. Well, I'd expect that from you :D -- I'm not sure that the differences between them are at the level of "of course" for the participants here. I ...
I want to attack the notion that this idea is an evolutionary adaptation. All species develop coping mechanisms, from viruses to us. Some of the speci...
While others may have done so, in this thread that's been me aping Priest. The idea is to point out a difference between LNC and LEM, as well as to pr...
I'm fine with another rendition other than "laws" -- that's just usually the word that comes up. I don't think they are literal laws though, not even ...
That's a question I ought take up, given I'm defending pluralism and poo-poo-ing the idea of correct logics, at all. Nihilism states there's no logica...
There's a memoir I read which talked about the effects of music on plants that I wish I remembered the name of. It wasn't the only thing in the memoir...
Though not to be rude I'm still looking for good points of response @"Count Timothy von Icarus", but rather in bits to see if we can stall the sprawl ...
If the liar's sentence is true then the liar's sentence is false. If the liar's sentence is false then the liar's sentence is true. The law of exclude...
These work just fine by me which indicates we're just talking past one another. What say you to 's proposal? Does it seem to sidestep something import...
I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say "correct" in describing a logic. What would it possibly mean for a logic to be correct in a non-question begging ...
What I said was It's the object that's different which changes the meaning of "...is false", which is why these examples don't work. Since the liar's ...
Reality is what's interesting here -- what I don't want to do is define reality within my logic, though. And I don't think that logic needs to restric...
I believe you've misunderstood, or I've not explained myself clearly. Wherever the fault lies doesn't matter to me. My thinking is that the mind is no...
I wish I could tell you the "because", so I'm sorry for piquing your curiosity here without having an answer. I'm still interested in the problem of c...
What's evidence to you? That's probably where disagreement lies, by my guess. The evidence I'd point to with respect to the mind being a part of the b...
I can say, with certainty, that the Moliere posting on the old TPF is not the same person as the new TPF, but at the same time is the same person as t...
Taking this one up in favor of the OP: If we invented a Transporter in the way Star Trek seems to indicate I would not enter it. It's science fiction ...
