his contention looks different from the one you are attributing to him. His claims concern how we (including S himself) ascribe beliefs to some S at t...
I don't care about Tyler Cowen’s conclusions either. I'm just questioning what you can infer from it wrt your claim that post-war reconstructions is "...
Let's try something else then: explain to me upon what grounds are we claiming that the best time to proceed our driving is exactly when green light o...
Why would I care in the slightest about your assessment of my of assessment of the Cowen article? You cited Tyler Cowen to support your claim. You ass...
Here is a more straightforward answer: we all learnt to report S’belief at t1 based on what S says at t1. That’s the practice. Now you claim that we s...
I have the impression that you forgot who I am. I reviewed at length your approach a while ago and I also addressed the kind of questions you are aski...
Not just some people. Some experts and that's not all. Probably you missed a couple of things about the expert you cite, Tyler Cowen (as much as you d...
Like what? Name a couple of these solutions. Well the original idea I was addressing was about post-war reconstruction as "corporate opportunity to sc...
More grants than loans. You mean it was centrally planned? Yet the private sector was significantly involved, e.g.: Also established were counterpart ...
Indeed, I took just the most notable examples to me. You wrote: "War -> reconstruction requirements -> corporate opportunity to screw everyone" Now if...
It looks like a tautological claim. On a charitable reading, the example would be: Germany, Italy, Japan after WW2. If further "reconstruction" doesn'...
I'd agree (except that "implies2" != "entails" see below) I agree on that too, but I would elaborate further as follows. The notion of "entailment" ha...
"Implication" as in "material conditional" corresponds to a certain type of truth-functional relation between the antecedent and the consequent: https...
Yet you claimed: "But there's an issue about how far philosophy needs to cater for ordinary use of words". So are you suggesting that the farmer calcu...
Agreed. You have no idea about what you yourself are talking about, go figure! Precisely, that’s why you are living in your fantasies. You must proper...
The expression "perceptual belief", as I use it, it's simply pointing to the genesis of that belief. If a belief is processed out of perceptual eviden...
Then there seems to be a terminological issue here. I intend inductive reasoning as a form of reasoning where from a set of particular propositions we...
Logical and mathematical knowledge are based on deductions (see theoremes). And one could question that inductive reasoning based on observation can b...
"Legitimate security concerns" is not fashionable anymore? But if you believe that "lots of global events cause that level of damage - from local warl...
I don't understand what you are saying here. What are the two senses? By "conclusive" are you referring for example to sound deductions as opposed to ...
It matters to them because their lives and living is more exposed to the war than in other areas. But it matters to the rest of Ukraine too because th...
Sure, and anybody must take into account the limits of sampling to reason more clearly. But there is a difference in a survey that is designed to addr...
But what does “justified” mean here? If “justified” is a normative term and not just a descriptive term, then justification must refer to some cogniti...
Only within the sample of Ukrainians that the survey was specified to be representative of: namely "residents and displaced persons in three Ukrainian...
So popular support can be measured through indicators others than the ones provided by formal democratic institutions. Indeed the poll you provided is...
Are you talking to me? I never made such claims. But you didn't. The poll doesn't survey the popularity of Zelensky among Ukrainians: Ordinary Ukraini...
Let’s distinguish two intellectual tasks: the first one is to assess whether JTB is an acceptable definition for the notion of “knowledge”. I think th...
My knowledge claim amounts to questioning your claim that we do not have “proper measure” to assess legitimacy through popular support. As I said ther...
Sure, but again in wartime democracies do not work with electoral consultations of a well-informed, free electorate to take decisions of national secu...
Of course. Or at least I find it plausible. I'm not rejecting anything. I'm just saying that in wartime democratic institutions do not work as in peac...
A part from the fact that with Sweden and Finland joining NATO the NATO border to Russia would be twice as much (and Putin practically said it's not a...
And what are exactly the natural rights or concepts of justice or rights-not-claiming-anything-about-law that Zelensky has violated in not having a co...
Playing the devil's advocate: what if the Americans want to slowly push Putin go tactical nuclear to turn his escalate to de-escalate strategy against...
This is the case only if the premises are known to be true by X or justifiably believed to be true. My point is how to better understand justification...
What do you mean by "right" and "justification" as distinguished from "lawful"? And? What's your point in highlighting the consequences? What lesson i...
I think one way to see this issue more clearly is by considering the distinction between valid and sound deductions. A conclusion could be validly inf...
So what? In your example the goal is to be at the conference on time (and you failed it). While Zelenesky’s goal is not to have a coalition with Russi...
That's your way of framing what is at stake, not mine. The geopolitical implications of this war go beyond the fate of the Ukrainians themselves. And ...
I disagree with the examples and the main claims. None of the above countries were invaded. Coalition parties in the UK and in the US made sense simpl...
The country is as at war, so democracy can not function as normal: e.g. do you have any examples of countries invaded by a foreign power that run demo...
Even in the absence of normally functioning representative institutions, and in the presence of censorship of domestic anti-government propaganda and ...
My point is that if one wants to deduce conclusions from premises based on formal logic, then the meaning of the terms is irrelevant. Indeed if your d...
Because you wrote "all humans are animals" as a premise one and you claimed it was logic to deduce from that premise and a second one a certain conclu...
