When we talk about truths. there has to be something which is about reality, that something then checked if it corresponds to reality - if it does, th...
You denied that truth has to be propositional. I asked you to prove it. You said a picture would do the trick. I pointed out that every object in the ...
The problem is when one takes traits that distinguish animals from humans one by one, we're sidetracked by the traits that we've failed to remove from...
Since the world can be neatly carved up between seller and buyer, both will starve - one can't buy food, the other can't sell food to get money with w...

Methinks democracy, the one with fixed terms in power, is simply micro-tyranny, micro-tryanny being short-lived despotism (à la Trumpism). The constit...
