I've already said enough for you to know that I disagree and why I disagree, so what's the point of this? Do you want us to talk past each other? You ...
Why would that stop me in my tracks? It's something that I have never denied, and it's irrelevant to what I've said. Anyway, you're free to use the te...
That's what I thought: you don't understand what existential dependency means, and you're using the term to mean something different. You should use a...
No. You're just really bad at expressing yourself clearly. Or confused. You're either contradicting yourself, or you don't mean what you say. Apparent...
Well yes, I thought that because he said that he was hungry. It's not such an obvious misunderstanding, but I can see how I could have misunderstood w...
So then you should have said that introspection requires the existence of others. And then we might have avoided all of this. Although, it doesn't any...
Well, yes, obviously. Why are you saying that? Did you think I thought otherwise? Yes, but I haven't denied any of that. I don't know why you're bring...
Oh my goodness. How many more times? The whole problem has been the ambiguity of "introspection requires others". Requires others for what? In what wa...
No one in particular. Don't read too much into it. Actually, Jesus. I was mocking the opinion of Jesus Christ, who it turns out is not all he's cracke...
That's a contradiction right there. When you say "I'm hungry" with sincerity, belief is implied. And that's another contradiction. If John believes th...
The mods should delete that as spam. It's just a pointless copy-paste job that doesn't add anything helpful. You've adding nothing new of any signific...
Where in our recent discussion have I come out with ridiculously vague and easy to misinterpret statements such as those of yours which I've called at...
I did ask you to clarify your meaning, not once, but multiple times, though to little avail. I have had to press you. Don't you think that it's a bit ...
Yes, of course, and there are beliefs relating to what I mentioned, which, it should have been quite clear, was what I was getting at, taking into con...
Typical nanny state! What's the world come to when you can't throw a kid in jail for a year or two in exchange for money because he had the cheek to a...
Not to my knowledge, but that's an idea for feature requests. The wording might need a few alterations here and there, but other than that it would've...
Yes. Or just "the belief" for short. I would probably appeal to some belief to explain my behaviour, yes. If, by using the word "introduce", you mean ...
Access is not always guaranteed, but to say that we don't have any access is surely mistaken. There are times when I know why I behaved a certain way....
Well, how often have you mistakenly believed that you were hungry? If not infallible, it's at least very unusual. There are multiple times each day wh...
Obviously I said more than just that, and you've addressed that quote out of its context. If I had said just that with nothing else to add, then you m...
Well, Posty McPostface had a similar idea with his "draft thread" which he created not so long ago, and similar ideas of a separate place for content ...
@"Agustino" Maybe tough shit. Texas doesn't have the most reputable track record with this kind of thing. (You know, doing the right thing, progress.....
"The conception of time pre-thinks a series of stages, past leading into present, and present into future. And then it spins about my ankle, like a si...
It's an interesting thought. I predict that if he makes it that far, there will either be celebrations or protests on an unprecedented scale, correspo...
Or do they? We'll have to wait and see. And remember, that they made him president in the first place is telling. This whole affair has made me doubt ...
What is all of this? Was this directed at me? Can you please just explain, clearly and adequately, (what you've said so far has been severly lacking i...
No, you don't seem to understand. There's nothing to refute. Hitchen's razor applies. You've just kicked the can a little further down the road by swa...
Why wouldn't I be okay with both? And yes, I did reject the dilemma. I think that it's a false dilemma. What do you mean? Holding a belief is simply h...
Are you joking? A valid form of objection? The burden is on you to support your own premises, which are far from self-evident, besides the third premi...
No way, he is not always honest. Is any politician? No. And Trump is no different. Lies, evasion, deception, and other tricks are part of the trade. A...
At first blush and after consideration, it seems crazily mistaken. And I think that it is crazily mistaken or you mean something other than what I thi...
Yes, they're related. I haven't denied that. A bacon sandwich consists of bacon and bread, but it doesn't consist in saying or thinking something such...
Yes, and that tells us something about human nature and philosophy, but what it tells us is a bit like being told that you've got a stain on your shir...
These comments that strike me as quite clearly wrong is precisely what is drawing responses from me. It flies in the face of what I know, or at least ...
Certainty and belief are inextricably related. You can't be certain of something yet not believe it. You can find words such as "certainty" included i...
