How very unfortunate. I guess Moses' point was nothing of this world could, was good enough or something else, represent/capture the perfection that i...

My initial reaction to your post was :zip: Unsaid

The immaterial, speculatively is perfectly normal of course but once you try to prove it, you begin to realize how crazy the idea is.

Indeed, as babies, languageless, we are alien to a world that has thousands upon thousands of languages - from the chemical scents of ants to the poet...

The problem is silence is ambiguous - it, as you seem to be aware, sometimes means something and at other times means nothing. So, if no one is saying...

Are you Hitlerish?

I'm surprised that you're ignoring important details in my examples that help you abstract the meaning of "almost". Also, try and use the word "almost...

Truth is you come off as a very learned person and that's not all, you seem to have a knack for writing. A killer combination by all accounts. :up: :o...

1. True 2. True 3. False

I suppose so but why would anyone in his right mind say such a thing unless...there's a grain of truth in it. Plato & Aristotle would probably have pr...

I can picture an asteroid missing the earth by, say, a coupla million kilometers but how does the earth miss something by nine days? Do solar storms o...

It's the sorites paradox. Between each ancestor-descendant pair there really is not much of a difference to deserve separate species categories but in...

A thought experiment Imagine a person (X1) has a knife, one big enough to kill, he kills a person. Someone (X2) finds the murder weapon, the knife. X2...

Hitler is the bogeyman. If anything about you is, in any way, Hitlerish, you're f**ked!

Moses, was it Moses?, was extremely displeased by the calf and not at all, in any way, critical about the gold. He had the golden calf destroyed. What...

I'm rather uncertain about this but I believe IQ = \frac {Mental \space Age}{Bodily \space Age} \times 100. So higher the IQ, your mind is, in a sense...

To answer the OP's question, what would happen...if the internet crashes?, I'd say bedlam and chaos - think of every conceivable way you could have a ...

Downloaded it for reading later. :up: Still quite in the dark about plan A and how & when it failed? It must have, why else plan B (the internet)? Per...

Copy that!

Go figure!

Interesting. I had some inkling about the defense angle to the internet but failed, miserably it seems, to connect the dots. The military, I believe, ...

So the internet does have a weak spot, an Achilles heel, a HQ. I was under the impression that with all these techies constantly admonishing us for no...

Exactly. I think the Golden Rule - do unto others as you would like others to do unto you - or it's negative formulation - do not do unto others what ...

:up:

Indeed. I suppose universals become relevant to God in how it makes God credible, ontologically speaking that is. A theist might feel reassured that G...

The fastest growing websites are all porn-related.

I was just wondering about that. Are there some core servers that run the show? Is there an internet HQ? If there is then it's an accident waiting to ...

I'm not disagreeing with you, at least not as much as I want make a point, that point being theists rely heavily on God to justify morality. God needs...

The USA has been caught with its pants down on a number of occasions (9/11 for example) but if there's a country that has a reputation of being prepar...

Communication or speed, convenience, record, etc. of communication?

I'm sure, given how catastrophic such an event would be, there's a backup (plan) ready for just such an eventuality. Right?

Good to know. Thanks for correcting me. Theologians aren't actually philosophers but if we must treat them as such, their focus was on religion and re...

Something like that but don't forget that religious folk believe they're good even though they may not be. Their motive is clear - they want to be the...

Come to think of, I think you're right, vagueness might lead to a verbal disputes. For example: Ken is tall & Ken is short

You're equivocating. I'm out. Thanks for the interesting conversation. I learnt a lot from the exchange. Good day.

Vagueness fallacy? If the term/word itself is vague, how could I be guilty of committing a fallacy? It's clearly not my fault.

What does "p is known" mean? 1. p = The earth is round p is known = The earth is round is known (all ok) 2. p = the earth is flat p is known = the ear...

:up:

Problem Vagueness: Fuzziness of meaning Ambiguity: Distinct multiple meanings Remedy Define your terms clearly

Kp= Know that p. So, 1. if p = the earth is round, Kp = know that (the earth is round) 2. If p = the earth is flat Kp = know that (the earth is flat)

This :point:

Knowing that there is a false proposition is not the same as knowing a false proposition.

I'm sorry about your unsound argument. Again, let's stay focused on the problem at hand, shall we? I'll try and help you if that's even possible since...

\neg p \rightarrow K \neg p \neq all \space false \space propositions \space are \space known \space propositions. Sorry.

You remark is such an obvious way to make a mistake that I don't see the sense in pointing it out.

By the way, I'm waiting for you to make an argument.

Bitchin'? Me? :lol:
