How is it a tautology? Either I don't know what tautology is or you've got the wrong end of the stick. The former is more likely. Do explain if you do...
Gracias for explaining Wittgenstein's views. Personally, I don't understand the hype around Wittgenstein. People have recommended countless number of ...
What is the length of the sides of a square with an area of 4 cm2? \pm \sqrt 4 = \pm 2 cm. +2 is the real solution and -2 is, in high school math, an ...
Wittgenstein claimed (there's an active thread on the topic, go look it up + there's a download link for the book Philosophical Investigations penned ...
There are rules that are partial and others that are complete and by that I mean partial rules apply in most cases while complete ones all the time. B...
Well, it all begins with, as usual, definitions. The moment I define the words "the", "cat", "is", "on" "mat", it's true that the cat is on the mat wh...
To give the devil his due, my hunch is it (discrimination against the poor) isn't intentional/deliberate - it can be likened to crime, but not organiz...
If 1's true, 3's too! :snicker: It leads to a contradiction alright, but then we end up with the same conclusion: There are some rules that have no ex...
What do you call this kinda perspective/point of view on philosophical topics? It's (very/too) general/co-opts concepts or ideas from other discipline...
:snicker: True, take a line for example: It is divisible lengthwise but not breadthwise. Perhaps this is what you mean. Mine is (only) an analogy. Can...
What exactly do you mean when you say the mind is divisible and also indivisible? I get that in one way it is and in another way it isn't. How exactly...
I'm not sure if I follow. Speaking for myself, if the mind is divisible in any way at all, and you claim it is from a "mind perspective", then that's ...
@"Tate" That's a frigging long, long waiting time. How many human generations are we looking at here? If anything wonderful/fantabulous is on the card...
In the trash can, science and allied fields that are essentially explanations; also in the trash can, rationality and associated subjects that are ult...
:cool: Have you come across any video/audio clips on how straight A students work for/under the C/D/even F students? :snicker: Oppenheimer (A-bomb) wa...
Cool! Mathematics, though proven as a tool for uncovering truths, is itself not/only partially about truths (truths to be understood in the convention...
Those who report being star-struck/in awe of the JWST images have, in my humble opinion, missed the point of this project by precisely 93 billion ligh...
0 = n({ }) 1 = n({{ }}) . . . That's how I understand it. Too... Barring infinity, what's the solution set to the equation x = x + 1? Not {0} but rath...
Why not? The key points we need to address. 1. Nonexistent people (no rights, consent Mu) 2. Possible people (rights? can't consent) 3. Actual people ...
Scope neglect A hypothetical study Question: How much are you willing to contribute to saving 200, 2000, 20000 migratory birds? Answer: $80, $78, $88 ...
From a physicalist point of view there's the alleged compartmentalization of brain (mind) function - off the top of my head there's the prefrontal cor...
You get my vote on the matter of how life is an imposition - Nobody asked me whether I would like to be born, I just woke up one day and found myself ...
:lol: I douche! You, just a wannabe douche! Anyway, you missed the point of my post. Soldiers have to tread a thin line between being heroes (defendin...
That's a lot to process mon ami, a lot! While metaphysics does contain some exciting numerical (mathematical) aspects, I doubt if they're cornerstone ...
0 = { } True, { } is the union (additive) identity (just like 0) for sets. However,, I question the validity of the claim 0 = { }. Perhaps you could e...
