Again you missed. I said, "examples such as". My next statement is a generalization of the way that videos like this develops. I'll explain to you the...

Lol. I was making an opinion, not an argument. Taste is always an opinion, and everyone is entitled to one. :wink:

Yeah. I had a feeling back then that it was their way of getting you to try harder. :up:

Thanks. This is what I could find that's co-written by Rob Amster. Yes, I like listening to that bass. I couldn't find just the instrumental. https://...

Here's the video of that upright bass with Adam Ben Ezra. Awesome!! https://youtu.be/xjhZhI2Zthg

There is nothing wrong with pointing out a fallacy or saying "that's not an argument" so long as they at least offer an explanation for their comments...

Sorry, I tried watching it. But the minute I heard the word "random" I lost interest. They were talking about examples such as the sun rising. Randomn...

Great! Something to brag about! :cool: I've had tough professors so nothing was good enough. :roll:

You use those majors to increase intelligence, not the funds in your bank account. Then, get into something that pays well. You are less likely to suf...

I second this. There are actions that aren't considered immoral, but I wouldn't be that person. Rudeness is not illegal or immoral, but I wouldn't do ...

Sis, it is not an emergency. There are always enough competing selfish interests to balance things out.

deleted post.

This has become a pointless discussion.

I don't know about this OP. It is uncharacteristic of @"Benj96" topics. But no support for was provided.

All design under glaze -- as a potter would say. "We don't have free will" has become the unscratchable design in topics like this. The misconception ...

Hello friends! I am somewhat concerned that a topic about politics and religion, society and religion, democracy and religion, or law and religion alw...

Then you also do not understand what causal link is -- and this is what the BIV theory is pointing out. Right sentiment, wrong example.

Incorrect. I think @"180 Proof" has already touched on this. If determinism is true, we are destined to have an agency such that we are determined to ...

No to both quoted posts above. I have experienced people like this in real life and I now avoid having any discussion with them, except to greet them ...

Indeed. That's a very astute observation. Blame the movements of rationalism and mechanistic world for that bit of analytical snobbery. :wink: The far...

Self-reflection is good. Remember that in philosophy, the notion of the self can only be understood if at the same time we have a notion of "us" -- ot...

As this thread is not about BIV in particular, but simulation, I will respond to the below briefly: You do not understand what "refer" means, in other...

But you did not go further into the argument. That is the opening argument for the BIV. But Putnam continues on to counter-argue that premises or clai...

I disagree with this. In the BIV, the brain is a given. That is, human brain. Because the point of the theory is skepticism, not that we are indeed br...

Okay. It is a component of the human psyche. And if you read about the evolution of humans, the primal fear goes back to the prehistoric times when a ...

In what way it is far higher quality -- have you spoken to any philosophers alive today besides here in the forum in a sustained conversation? Maybe t...

"Better the devil you know than the devil you don't." It's not always true that it's better to stay in a difficult situation than to venture out there...

Okay, sorry to hear that these organizations have biases as well. But there will be, and there is a demand for unbiased or all sides of politics. Or d...

That's a good looking plate of pasta. Looks yummy. I am on the hunt for fatter fusillis.

:100: There are people who can work into their 80s. I mean -- as an employee. To them, I say, wow! They don't need to worry about retirement savings b...

Use a firing squad to kill it.

No. They're not that fancy. They're practicing math scholars and philosophers.

The news organization does not have to listen to that article if the news organization is truly independent. Public funding should be in place to supp...

I'm ashamed. I'm not near that talent.

Fusili and their ilks. Yeah, I've given up on penne. Not my kind of pasta.

:grin: don't mind the children, @"Lionino". Spiral pasta with pesto sauce -- just grind the fresh basil leaves, lots of olive oil, salt and pepper, an...

I wish I still had the philosophy of math anthology book that featured the math philosophers who argued for the construction of mathematics as an empi...

If you don't pluck her, she can have time to grow some kittens around her.

Yes, it is surprising what works out and what doesn't. It was a crapshoot. I went with my deepest feeling instead of always having to guard what I say...

Three months ago I yelled at the president of the firm because we couldn't agree with the procedures of a project. I thought it was unethical. I didn'...

Sure thing. For example, every number is predefined, so when we build an equation or a formula, each one of the terms have already been defined -- and...

The hip is the most important. Forget the rest. So, good for him. Yup, I don't know what to say either. I think a lot of people fear the religion's in...

So there's nothing wrong with Hanover.

So how is the above supporting your claim? Did they or did they not use the Critical Theory of the postmodern to write their own worldview? Derrida's ...

Thank you for the update. Hip replacement sounds painful. I hope it goes well. Some of our body parts wears off sooner than our other parts. As to the...

Yup. I was berated in the past for caring. lol. I was told it was empty words. :wink:
