Oh! So you mean to say both our subjective side and our objective side have to be taken into consideration to complete the picture (of reality)? Neith...
As I said we could be, probably are, deluded. The self is non-predicable. It can't be said to be this or that, it just is (patior ergo sum) ... as a/t...
I don't understand how people can be receptive to the idea that the universe could be a computer simulation and at the same time deny the possibility ...
Not to downplay the tragedy of black lives lost, but I strongly feel that we need to understand the mindset of the men in blue. What goes through the ...
Both can't be right because they're mutually contradictory. As part of yin-yang duality, they're mutually annihilatory, not complementary. What we can...
As you can see we run into trouble in trying to get a fix on the self - it's in the simplest sense the thinker and I'll leave it at that. As for the e...
No, I'm not advocating a Berkeleyan perspective. The self may exist even when not perceived for all we know. However, knowledge (epistemology, not ont...
That be true. We could all be delusional, rendering my equation useless. What's the alternative then? As far as I can tell, terium non datur, either I...
The crux of the problem is 1. A premise is false (in this case Brown is not the man who'll get the job) and yet 2. The conclusion is true (coincidenta...
I don't feel the need for math (fields) to explain/discuss religion unless it clarifies the matter instead of obscuring it (further). In a universe co...
There are 3 selves (identities) 1. Who others think you are (So) 2. Who you think you are (Ss) 3. Who you really are (Sr) Sr = So + Ss Do the math! Qu...
I read those links to TPF posts you provided. Indeed, if @"Gnomon" claims his Enformationism Theory is scientific then the theory must entail some obs...
Well, as seems to be most prevalent, the definition of truth philosophy is most concerned about is one that appears in the correspondence theory of tr...
Here's what to me is a point in favor of Descartes - at least he was being consistent. We, on the other hand, allegedly love dogs and cats, but meat i...
I suspect the OP is trying to correlate the (possibly imaginary) high IQ of chess players (amateurs and pros) with the superior (post-training) analyt...
My source is my intuition, but that's not what's important - what is is that you cited some statistical studies to back up your claims. :up: Now the b...
As a human, I'm inclined to agree, we have both objective and subjective aspirations. However, the objective and the subjective sides tend to contradi...
You've identified a particular period of time (now as determined by neoliberalism) as being characterized by the above mentioned phenomena. You'll hav...
As a supplement to the OP: Vivisection. From the article above it seems that at least in the medical profession there was an attempt to justify animal...
You know what I realized is absolutely amazing about the US of A? If you can justify (forgive me Agrippa) a proposal well (read profitable) the powers...
I did say that homelessness is a problem, just not for the government. The people out on the streets doesn't seem to negatively impact the country's G...
So you think the statistics is bull!? Did you know that your mayor's office uses statistics to run the city - that clean water you drink, the neatly a...
Statistics show that the death rate for all possible causes has declined in the US for the period 1916 to 2023. What have you to say about that. I con...
Homelessness is not that much of a problem; why else can governments ignore it? Being without a house hasn't been correlated with crime/drugs. In fact...
There are metaphysical truths (ontology) - do quarks exist? However, we can't know if quarks really exist (epistemology). The particle zoo is a model ...
The inconsistency is that God can't be in hell and you're saying He is (re omnipotence). Then you changed tack - you now claim hell is in god (unsuppo...
