I see now the OP's point, it's a dilemma. 1. Either you accept Christianity OR you reject Christianity 2. If you accept Christianity, you lack intelli...

Components of philosophy that are present: 1. Ethics: (human) selfishness 2. Epistemology: science, philosophy and their objectivity/subjectivity 3. M...

:smile: You're the expert, you would know!

You raise some valid points in re Cantor's mental issues; maybe we need someone else, an arbiter, to sort out the matter between us, si señor tonesind...

Danke for reminding me of red zones (in philosophy). AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY sign on the fence or a :death: DANGER! CLASS I TOXIN! on the book cover...

I'll leave you to discuss with the other experts. Good day.

Well, as far as I can tell, your theory hasn't been quantified and unfortunately what John Collier, who you quoted, is bang on target in re Shannon's ...

:up: And if you agree ... you would be a finitist, si señor?

Nice! In being circular with respect to justification, reason, sensu amplissimo is not a hypocrite (practices what it preaches) - it demands arguments...

I'll get back to you Jack.

@"Paine" :zip: :zip:

We're entering into uncharted territory mon ami! Hic sunt dracones. I plucked the low hanging fruit as you can see. :zip:

Nope, it doesn't matter who is doing anything unless ... you're ready to commit an ad hominem fallacy or arguing from authority and the like. I'm just...

I'm lost too bruh! :groan:

As my former boss was wont to say, on every occasion, "we all have 100 billion neurons." His message in a nutshell: If Einstein could do it, so can an...

Muchas gracias señor Yohan. It's just amazing that you've thought this through so well and in such a short duration. Hats off to you! Life ain't a jok...

I like your fallibilism idea better.

Ship of Theseus, only now we're making improvements + we're doing it while still sailing. :up: and yet I don't see anyone respond in a satisfying mann...

Si, si, señor!

The principle of sufficient reason.

Yep, math (Euclid) is axiomatized, to the extent possible. However, assuming a set of axioms in other areas flies against the principle (PSR) that all...

:up: Danke!

:zip: I have nothing more to contribute.

A lot rides on that word, I can tell you that. Predictive power has been a much sought after item since antiquity, I'm not sure though, but still what...

Animals have been vivisected, by the father of modern philosophy René Descartes even (imagine that!), and yet the thought of suicide never, I mean nev...

I'm more interested in what they are not showing us! Does anyone have any expertise in infrared technology? If yes, could you please, please, clue us ...

How many bits (of information) is absence? A hint: Any letter in the English alphabet e.g. "a" is 1 byte in Windows text document. Even empty space (a...

P:smile: In the long run ... it doesn't even matter.

:smile: I don't wanna repeat myself.

A superb question "because" ...

@"schopenhauer1" (I think) plants reason (without a brain): I saw this cactus plant outside my sister's house. I noticed that its body is flat & almos...

Superb! Even so, in my humble opinion, there hadta be at least one argument for democracy - the PSR requires this to be so. It can't be that the Greek...

Non-fatal mistakes are learning opportunities. Like my nephew said once: You win Or you lose learn. The point seems to be that once you've survived a ...

Multiple Discovery

Oh, ok! Danke!

The Paradox of Skepticism: To want evidence is to reject faith, but Agrippa's trilemma shows that reason itself is unjustified which is just another w...

Stuff that to my reckoning are beyond our comprehension 1. \infty (Cantor) 2. 0 (Brahmagupta) 3. Zen koans, Nagarjuna's tetralemma (it is? No; it is n...

Last I checked, there's absolutely nothing extraordinary about the way Jesus died - painfully, on the crux. If I or you or anyone else were crucified,...

Good question! PSR. The same question but now with hints in the sentence preceding the query. PSR again.

:zip: Not guilty (untrue) or Innocent (false)? Untrue isn't necessarily false in multivalent logic; lucklily or unluckily, I'm unaware of the other al...

Theories of truth 1. Correspondence (science) 2. Coherence (math) 3. Pragmatic (religion)

A minute of silence for the fallen on both sides! :death: :flower:

Trump is a product of the system. I imagine the US, world's largest economy, as a factory/plant churning out not only planes, cars, microwave ovens, b...

I have a feeling that some ideas like \infty and nothing cause brain damage - Cantor lost his mind (theia mania) and spent his later years in a lunati...

I've never heard of this book! Do you recommend it? I wonder why you picked this book and not another. The path to hell is easy. Some might disagree f...

Good question señor! It would all depend on what mors is, si? So, what is mrityu (death), what is it mon ami?

\infty isn't and object like for example an elephant or the number 10100 or the word "elephant", it's simply a shorthand for the procedure 1. n = 0; 2...

Well, as far as I can tell, there's got to be a moral instinct akin to survival instinct; what else can explain a pride of lions or a pack of wolves? ...
