Most perceptive! Buddhism is simply a way.

I'm scoutin'!

I was tryin' ta make sense of your claim that correlation entail implies causation. That be all to it mate!

It's quite simple really. Nobody in hell would want to have children.

As far as I can tell we're not doing anything that other ("great") philosophers haven't done! To return to what you seem to be interested in, temporal...

Corrected for wars I hope. Perhaps if we narrow the window a trend will jump out at us.

Philosophers vs. Sophists? A topic for another discussion mon ami. Picking up where we left off, I'd say that you're on the right track but I sense mu...

There's a spike in violence in the US of A then?

It's not much of choice we have! Nobody save a fool would want to be cuckoo!

Not anymore! Danke!

They're from symbolic logic where \to = implies/entails.

Thanks for the warning! I'm optimistic that Bartricks will home in on the point he's making.

An astute observation. What, if I may be so bold as to ask, exactly are you driving at here? As far as I can tell, we have on our hands an intertwined...

Correlation ?\to causation. Would you agree?

:up: Math to the rescue ... again! Can you elaborate further on, how shall I put it?, the relationship betwixt time and change.

Ok!

Is the relevant Russell set incoherent?

Was René Descartes "questioning rationality"?

Maybe although I've made a fool of myself to last a coupla lifetimes. Yep, I'm aware of that. Danke for the gentle reminder. It just doesn't feel righ...

To my knowledge, Hume's skepticism was aimed at a very specific target, but then it spilled over into other domains; for some reason he didn't go all ...

Muchas gracias señor/señorita @"Banno"!

Can someone please explain what the following are to me? 1. Deism 2. Pandeism 3. Panendeism 3. Panentheism 4. Pantheism Danke!

Did I mention fruitarianism? What's up with wood anyway?

The answer to the OP would depend on how one defines "physical" and "supernatural". Is one the negation of the other?

:up:

An interesting OP. :up: Mill's 5 methods (to establish causality). 1. Method of agreement A, B, C occur with w, x, y A, D, E occur with w, t, u When w...

Doesn't all this - threatening politicians - remind you of recent Batman movies?

Perhaps we need to make an appropriate distinction here, a distinction that would sort things out for us. Time simply can't be relative??? :chin:

That would be one way of looking at it! :up:

It's impossible, life, but do note that what we take to be life isn't actually life. Concerned father: Is he dead? Teacher (who administered the fatal...

Nice point of view! :up:

Let's ... I hear it's a 2.5k year old definition attributed to Socrates, no less. :chin:

You're welcome. We still have a long way to go!

This is interesting - how does, as per you, Bartricks perform/fail to perform this amazing feat? I mean why does Bartricks want to sin ... so badly?

What do so-called game worlds (@"schopenhauer1") have to contribute to this thread?

Then in all likelihood he knew what he was talking about. Gettier problems are real! Does Gettier's observation extend to mathematics as well? That wo...

Quite the opposite for me - I know the topic's widely discussed (at least on this forum) but I didn't know so much work had been done on it!

Ok!

Down the lagomorphian hole it is! Isn't there a 1% rule?

Gettier, bless his soul! :death: :flower: Perhaps Gettier doesn't understand what logic is. Was he a logician too?

Well, ok, but actually as well!

Yep! The birghtness, it's compelling, for some reason.

As far as I can tell, from the little that I know, we're rational creatures and inshallah we shall remain so for as long as possible ... for our own s...

Mighty intersting ... the light from these stars, I simply can't believe, are from billions and billions of light years away!

I feel you're right on the money.

@"schopenhauer1", do you really think it's the pain/the anguish/the suffering/the agony (dukkha) that's our enemy #1?

Hats off to you for yer brief but well-considered post mon ami! Vegans, despite their honorable intentions, aren't really out of the woods, oui?

Most perceptive! How shall we resolve your little predicament, monsieur/mademoiselle? Do we havta do what you feel we can't/shouldn't do?
