I intelligo. What is the word?

The question: Is there a key that unlocks all doors?

I intelligo.

I intelligo.

The arche goes by many names. To Anaximander, it's apeiron; not sure about this but in Christianity, it's the void; to Laozi it was the Tao. If you'll...

Well Vogel seems to think that there's a difference between Al's and Betty's epistemic circumstances. From what I can gather Al is more confident than...

Will drop by.

Hypothesis non fingo.

Another another proof of solipsism ( :smile: ) Ergo, Ego solus est.

Another proof that I alone exist. 1.The 3 marks of existence are anicca (impermanence), anatta (no-self), and dukkha (suffering). 2. I alone bear thes...

In connection to a thread on Theodicy.

I don't know whether God is/isn't, but I believe God isn't. :up:

I'm sorry but you're commenting on a statement that I didn't understand. I hope @"180 Proof" gets it! Somebody has to, oui? For all our sakes ...

The video is restricted content, unfortunately. It doesn't matter, I'm used to censorship. As for your riddle, splendiferous! Interesting. i was just ...

:up:

Here's my proof of solipsism 1. Only things that we're 100% certain exists exist. 2. The only thing I'm 100% certain exists is me (re cogito). Ergo, 3...

As to the efficacy of masks, any schoolkid could do the math - they do block droplets of a certain size and larger? Evidence? Try coughing & sneezing ...

Aye skipper!

:up: Danke kind person.

We really don't have a choice, do we? It's either up or down. :sad:

:smirk: I don't need to google what I know is a fact - the absence of a scientific paradigm for consciousness. I hope you're not referring to Roger Pe...

Point me to an theory/hypothesis we could employ to explain consciosuness.

I have not! Give me some pointers (not on reading, on explanatory frameworks for consciousness).

All I'm saying is there's at least some kinda theory/hypothesis to, at a minimum, attempt an explanation. None exist for consciousness.

:up: Ah, the all-famous lack of belief. In me humble opinion, atheists shouldn't co-opt lack of belief - that position is distinct enough to deserve a...

:ok: I didn't know, but can you review Cartesian skepticism and get back to me if you find anything interesting.

Although you've been kind enough to share your insights with us, I'm afraid the distinction you make between god's existence and theism escapes me. Wa...

No one has either proved/disproved the existence of god. All that has been accomplished is refutations of mainly theistic arguments, that they're unso...

Solipsism is true in the sense of what is 100% certain - our own existence. If you lower the bar to may exist, solipsism is no longer as strong a posi...

:chin:

No problemo! Raise anchor!

I'm of the view that evil is best explained as (bad) karma. Somehow we'll have to insert this Buddhist view of evil into theism.

That's the catch. Religious apologists, at the end of the day, have to posit a causeless primum movens aka God.

:sweat: On point. Good job Vinay Prasad!

The mechanism of taste can be reduced to chemistry i.e. there's a theory (agonist-receptor) which can be used, albeit with imperfections as you pointe...

David Pearce (transhumanist) opened an account as a guest speaker, a year or so ago. Spent about a week answering questions and responding to comments...

Every great discovery starts as a hunch! :lol:

Oops! 2005 and later is what I meant to say.

Anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, the two cut from the same cloth I'm afraid. Nevertheless, we do need to study the side-effects of wearing masks, but somet...

Is the Buddhist idea of karma something we can turn to?

Technology to the rescue ... again? Yep, I concur, it seems possible to turn earth into a paradise, but then when yin peaks, yang is just around the c...

:ok: Sorry, I was wrong.

I could never solve puzzles, even the simplest ones stump me.

Hence, Leibniz's identity of indiscernibles rule. Gracias amigo for the profound insight.

I can't disagree with your assessment of the situation.

Muchas gracias for including me in the list of peeps you wanted to inform. It's above my pay grade and so :zip:

:up:

And they lived happily ever after ...

:up: Proceed ... as planned? :cool:

I dunno if this is true/not, pulling it out of me magic hat I fear, but most airplane crashes are caused by human error and only once in a blue moon b...
