You're right, fair play implies natalism and antinatalism have to be compared under the exact same conditions. Notice, however, that natalism leads to...
I don't know how to parse your recommendations. Some of them do sound like what a philosopher might say but I'm not certain whether it'll work or not....

The truth table doesn't match what's going on in Curry's paradox. X = If this sentence is true, Japan is on the moon. Assume X is true; the antecedent...

Knowledge, sticking to the justified true belief definition, is about entailment between given propositions and others; understanding, though includes...
To me, understanding means to become aware of the key elements/components of a(n) subject/issue/problem. As an example, take the debate on abortion. U...
You could be sincere in your attempt to be a philosopher but then that doesn't translate into becoming an authentic philosopher; nevertheless, the for...
Ok. Here's what I think. Claude Shannon's theory of information is based on how many steps it takes for uncertainty to become certainty. For example, ...

Like all things, the novelty wore off. Oddly, Neo (new?) dies in the end or that's what they made us think happens. Neo dies twice, why not a third, o...
@"schopenhauer1" Did you know, 1. Malnourished women stop having periods? Nature's way of telling us not to have children if we can't afford them i.e....
My approach is scientific to the extent I'm capable of that. Your idea of what information differs from the standard set down by Claude Shannon. I rec...
One thing's for sure, we can define information any which way we want. The definition, whether the one you advocate here or some other, will have to 1...
It looks like I wasn't clear enough. My bad, the ability to articulate my thoughts wasn't ever my strong suit. I'll give it another shot. First off, w...

Nothing counterintuitive in it then? All your life you've depended on your senses, never doubted them in any way and now, when someone like me tells y...
I don't mean to burst your bubble and I know this is hard but, take a look at the following: Can you really rely on your senses when, A. Your mind can...
