I'm wrong in saying you're here to promote your website, given what you've done thus far. You convinced me here: You came up with reasonable solutions...

Sounds like my life! I want you here. New minds and new ideas are good. We're just trying to teach you how to do it, is all. As philosophers do.

Cool! Let me know what you think after reading it. I'm here as a friend to odd ducks, and my posts are meant to help.

Some persons are able to put 2 and 2 together in a way that doesn't make sense to others. I'd call this sense-making: Your post had NO mention of your...

Your website can be online, it's the promotion of it that's forbidden on the front page. You can keep the website in your profile too! If you look at ...

I think you came up with some workable solutions here. It would be a lot harder to make the argument that you're here for self-promotion if you didn't...

This is not the reason banning is being considered. The reason is from the Site Guidelines:

One Simple Trick that Kantians hate!

I said "the opposite is true" because I don't think any experience is inherently the same as another.

I'm pretty sure that's true. Unless you correct me on it, then it's a whoopsie.

I asked a certain gollum about that and this is what it had to say: I'm certain that your deep offense is valid, but insofar that you're even question...

A quote buried in II. THE FACTICITY OF THE FOR-ITSELF that seemed to relate to the original question My thinking here is that insofar that you could e...

Makes sense. Truth be told I'm not sure EiH is exactly any of those either or if it's just a softer expression of the same. Part of why I'm revisiting...

I'm not sure. I've heard it claimed that he walked back his position from Being in Nothingness in Existentialism is a Humanism because the existential...

That's close to my understanding of Being and Nothingness's description of bad faith. Bad faith seems to me to be a uniquely human phenomena, or at le...

Laws are not invented wholesale. Laws are based on an inheritance. Most of that inheritance comes from a time before the United States.

I'm tempted by 's position as a negotiable middle ground. I reduce the question of abortion to the question of personhood when we want precision in ou...

:D True.

Good analogue. I had similar thoughts with respect to Though, to split the difference, I agree with If someone points out, as @"Tarskian" did, that th...

I like Erich Fromm's theory of love in The Art of Loving because he casts it as an art that one can learn. A paragraph on Wikipedia summarizing: Also,...

I'm hesitant to reduce philosophy to psychology -- whether or not our psychology allows us to examine our own beliefs, it's still a part of philosophy...

Personally I think we have to investigate the meaing of "peckerhead shitheads" before we can make these assertions

Apparently it's a thing https://japantoday.com/category/features/food/is-japanese-canned-sushi-everything-we-ever-dreamed-of-we-try-it-out

How is "being neutral" not a belief? Is it not a belief of yours that it is better to be neutral in making decisions? So it seems you have a belief wi...

Insofar that scientific description is taken as a basis for ontology: Why not make the claim that the photon demonstrates that we don't need mass for ...

That's the attitude I try to adopt. If I find a philosopher uninteresting but others find them interesting I try and figure out what it is about them ...

Though, upon reflection, that indicates that when I learn I learn about something. I'm not skeptical about realism: only still thinking it through, an...

I think I'm tempted to put that in the same category -- unless someone showed me which was my north hand when then... absolute or relative, I would no...

It may not be just something I learn, and I suspect that's so. There's a difference that makes a difference. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if other...

has a point. We can never make up the horrors of the past or the benefits we recieve from it, even if they are unjust. And often reparations can be bu...

We have to be careful about what we claim to have an innate sense of, I think. Scientifically speaking we'd be making a claim about what we bring to t...

I don't think you need a reference as much as a habituation -- "reference frame" is easily handled in mathematics through transformations -- that's th...

For Kant, at least, that there is a mathematical description -- much like Euclid or Pythagoras -- then you have a priori synthetic knowledge. The form...

If directions come from the self, or cogito, then I don't think we can rely upon things like "quadrants" -- before Descartes there was no such concept...

I'm looking at the TLP and don't see that sentence. 6.3 Logical research means the investigation of all regularity. And outside logic all is accident....

True. Though in reality -- well, let's just say I've eaten my fair share of ice cream.

There's a bit of me that wonders if I'm a skeptic these days.

Mkay. I'm wrapping back around to this in my thoughts: Since you don't know how to answer: What made you believe that the actual world has properties ...

So is the question more about "How do I make an inference from possibilities to actualities"?

Does it? We're talking about a possible world here, not a world. We're imagining possibilities with some pretty abstract concepts. How could I differe...

When I imagine a possible world without people with directions then there are directions in that imagined possible world, and when I imagine a possibl...

I don't think that left and right follow from myself having a body with ears, though I know we have a sense of our own orientation from our somatic re...

Fair question, though that's sort of the thing I puzzle through still. I don't have a direct answer. I might even bother to write that one down if I h...

I'd say it's convention. I was taught which was what. I'm not sure that has ontological import though.

Ahhh x-posted your link.

I don't think points have chiral properties. Only some geometric shapes have chiral properties, and these are close to some of the things we consider ...

This looks far too rosy to me. You ever plot something you think is linear and found out it ain't? The problem with such predictions is a change in on...

I signed up. (it's definitely an easier way to do voice conversations, as we've been floating but failed to accomplish)

I'm not sure if it predates Kant, but Kant is famous for making this assertion. Thinking about a unicorn I know what properties it has, but thinking a...

:D -- Yeah. That seems a case if the fundamental attribution error -- those people are poor because they are lazy, whereas I am poor because of circum...
