Excellent! @"Banno", Shawn is right! ILP > OLP.

I was wondering when you'd reply. Good assessment report as far as I'm concerned. The mathematics is simple, too simple? :chin: How would you have app...

Yep, that be impossibile! I was wondering @"schopenhauer1", how subjective is pain & pleasure?

The incompleteness theorems, there are two of them. Relies on, by some accounts, a mod of the well-known liar paradox. Basically boils down to the Göd...

:up: Gracias.

Ok! Still wanna read. Banno, are you reading this?
December 02, 2022 at 02:32
@"schopenhauer1" By imposition vis-à-vis life do you mean no one was/is/will be asked whether s/he wishes to be born?
December 02, 2022 at 01:42
@"Banno" I've been meaning to read Wittgenstein for the past 4 bloody years. Can you link me to his books (available for download)?
December 02, 2022 at 01:13
So it seems. We're, as someone said, human.
December 02, 2022 at 01:10
:clap:
December 02, 2022 at 01:08
On target! I meant exactly that.

What's the first thing that came to mind when you read the OP?

This question is superb, but I'm afraid it's been answered via consensus in a way that's considered scientifically impossible. Too, the hypothetical s...

Apologies mi amigo, but Banno's the lead vocalist. I'm just a backup singer. Looks like I'm going to be unemployed very soon! :snicker:

In countless posts mon ami, in countless posts. Seek and ye shall find.

That, mon ami, is a wonderful summary of our my predicament.
December 01, 2022 at 19:57
Chalmers seems to be quite knowledgeable about science.
December 01, 2022 at 19:23
One thing's for sure, either there is a God or there isn't one. It's quite embarrassing if you ask me.
December 01, 2022 at 19:21
Please ask Banno.

What an awesome, awesome question. Just curious, is there a branch of philosophy that studies/investigates choice and how we make them? I know that fr...
December 01, 2022 at 14:52
On point! Good logic!
December 01, 2022 at 14:43
Well, there seems to be a consensus among the posters regarding what happens to time at lightspeed and perhaps beyond via simple extrapolation. There ...

That's a superb summation! :up: That's an awesome simplification! :up: I (only) want to be a vegan. :sad:
December 01, 2022 at 07:09
I would like to tender my Apology. :snicker:
December 01, 2022 at 07:06
Kant, I wonder what he would've said regarding the morality of torture. FYI, he was pro capital punishment.
December 01, 2022 at 06:46
Interesting comment mon ami! :up: The AC overheated? :chin:
December 01, 2022 at 06:39
Awesome! Krishna is a Hindu god, infact he's the supreme deity in human form; the universe is the universe ( :chin: ). Does anything follow? The unive...

Good question 180 Proof. I wonder what the reply will be like.
December 01, 2022 at 06:26
Ok!
December 01, 2022 at 06:21
Danke! So it's like I can't prove whether Jesus existed or not from the fact that green light has a wavelength of 555 nm.
December 01, 2022 at 06:03
This is a really, really uplifting statement. To Christians, Buddha is a saint and to Buddhists, Jesus is a bodhisattva. Perfecto!
December 01, 2022 at 05:36
Thank god! :pray: So we're looking for an infinity bigger than N and smaller than R. What are the ramifications of the existence/nonexistence of such ...
December 01, 2022 at 05:34
I thought the Continuum Hypothesis was about the existence/nonexistence of an infinity (I) such that cardinality-wise, set of naturals (\aleph_0) < I ...

:grin: David Chalmers is a genius; most philosophers are.
December 01, 2022 at 02:34
Ok! Cardinality as in the cardinality of the set {a, &} is 2? Apologies ... patience is a virtue. :smile:
December 01, 2022 at 02:33
I see where you're coming from. It's very simple, isn't it? After all, (our) liberty is at risk. What's needed is a good education for our children an...

On point! Do you understand Gödel's argument? If you do, kindly sum it for me. If you don't where do you get stuck so to speak?
