Space and time seem to be the subjective expression, by means of perception, of a real feature of objects. The space between them and the variations t...

It seems so strange still that someone writing about how one can be free in dailey life agrees with taking the freedom away of a whole group of people...

Is that so? Only followers of a specific view towards the nature of reality like to see them that way. It seems though that Popper's days are gone. Th...

Then H and me agree! A pity he was so adversive to the Jewish way, so to speak. I know it was pretty common in those days to be antisemite, and I thin...

I don't think pragmatic engagement is the condition for idle talk or other forms of language. On the contrary. Idle talk and language can even be the ...

Consistency is the condition for maintaining the status quo. Every demand for consistency, in general, or in relation to the self, is a demand to stay...

So only pragmatic engagement is relevant and make idle talk fully comprehensible? Action speaks louder than words? If only the members of his party ha...

Seems like H expresses the same as science does. There is everyday experience. Conceiled (verdeckte) and hidden Daseins (the things that are there). T...

Omniscience is an impossibility. Omniscience excludes the science of that which or who who possesses the science. Postulating that even that is contai...

Do you really think that collectively people have the guts to do as they please? It's my impression that collectively people are behaving in conformin...

Sounds like you identify Dasein with a human being, who are always in a mood, have a certain understanding, and move forward in the world purposefully...

The guy isn't a solipsist. He contends that you and I are solipsist too, so there is still some reasonableness left. He sees all 7 billion people on E...

Is that why my ascendants created pain? To get my ass moving?

:lol: He feels discomfort because production stagnates.

There is a tennis field sized sheet/membrane folded up still. It's a human hair thick kapton. The telescope has to be kept at a pretty low temperature...

And here: "As of 2012, the propulsion system uses 16 MRE-1 thrusters which can provide one pound of thrust each. They are mono-propellant thrusters de...

"The Webb telescope is powered by an on-board solar array. It also has a propulsion system to maintain the observatory's orbit and attitude. The solar...

Well, there is a ring of sunlight around the Earth. Maybe that's enough.

I was thinking exactly the same!

Heidegger said that people are the only creatures with a dasein that has a notion of its own dasein. Didn't he mean simply that people are overly self...

My interpretation is that you have to care about stuff to know the stuff. Be it a rock, a neighbor, or a Nazi party. Most of the universe stays hidden...

Of course his philosophical writings stand separate from his political activities, it's just that I don't understand that he tells on the one side tha...

Well, what I understood is that only in L2 there is never any sunshine.

But why should that be important? Because of communication? Why should a telescope stay fixed wrt to Earth?

Heidegger was a fucking nazi. Can't come no good philosophy from a nazi. He voluntarily joined.The essence of truth! Dasein... Er war da! All this stu...

I only has an invariant position wrt Earth. It rotates around the Sun. The Sun moves in the galaxy, the galaxy moves wrt other galaxies. The galaxy cl...

Our friend stays shielded from bright sunlight. In the shadow of the Earth.

In modern-day language, Lamarck would have said that the organism is in control over the genes, while Dawkins (a Darwinist) says it's the genes that a...

I can't follow. Isn't language an invention to express what you think? Only the accountability idea, and the expression of this idea by language, is m...

How can the will be not free in the light of deterministic (or probabilistic) natural laws and processes? The premise of this question, the will not b...

Free will doesn't imply random action. A random choice is almost impossible to make, if not impossible. Free will means that thought and action can ex...

I know what being accountable or responsible means. But it's nonsense. The quote defines accountability by using accountability: "Accountability: the ...

Something exists can mean both inside and outside if spacetime, like God or ideas. Something is somewhere now only applies to locations in spacetime.

That's why it's easier to place it inside of the corporeal world. You can cut it loose, but then it's the question if the world can still exist.

"The fallacy of composition is an informal fallacy that arises when one infers that something is true of the whole from the fact that it is true of so...

So an argument or proposal is not a statement of personal belief? They are just as well based on personal belief. Under an objective cover to shield c...

That's all there is. Personal believes... What if I said that there are only quarks and electrons?

THE BIRD Baby bird asks mama bird: "Why did dog chase baby bird, mama?" Mama bird answers: "Because you are a tasty meal tweetly." Baby bird is scared...

It doesn't matter a split end. What matters is that we have a will. That's why it is better to get rid of accountability, responsibility, guilt, a mor...

I can't discover the fallacy.

I'm not suggesting it. And certainly not seriously. It's just the way it is. We are a whole of huge number of quarks and leptons. The non-material cha...

Doesn't the same hold for not and other than? Money is not fish. It is other than fish. For money to be not fish money and fish gotta be mutually cont...

One can read in the article: "Is consciousness 'just' a way of talking about the behavior of certain kinds of collections of atoms, obeying the laws o...

There is another thread going around now here. It's about the difference between opposing and negating. Opposing seems similar to "other than", while ...

Nice observation. Negating heat is denying it, not relating it to cold. Opposing heat needs cold. To oppose the coldness (make it smaller) heat has to...
