Nothing worth mentioning that I can think of right now. It's just a description of a regularity, as I said. It says "this is how it is, and how it has...

Apollo.

It is in some cases. Funny how you chose a stack of books and a library. Convenient. Provided one doesn't beg the question by defining "organisation" ...

If I recall correctly, he made criticisms along the same lines as those posts I linked to. Either in the Enquiry or in the Dialogues. I'm thinking it'...

It didn't entirely escape our notice, and he was eventually banned for that reason.

That's nothing. I was once stoned for 10,000 years straight whilst playing badminton non-stop in the centre of the sun and winning every match.

I like it. Especially since quine's weird shit no longer pops up here.

Sometimes. I don't go out of my way to smoke it, but if someone offers me some...

How else could people get hold of them to take for recreational purposes? They should wait and hope for the law to change? Nah.

The mention of psoriasis had me flummoxed for a moment, but then I remembered that stress can aggravate it. Fortunately, my psoriasis is limited to th...

I did that two years ago, and I'm better off now because of it. I quickly found a better job. It was risky, and maybe I could have gone about it in a ...

and see Hume's criticism of the design argument, which I've referenced once or twice already. The problem with the comparison and what you conclude fr...

So you've chosen to make a remark like that yet again, rather than give me the straight answer that I've been seeking. You're more interested in the p...

No, you bring up metaphors and stuff, but do not, as far as I'm aware, explicitly, plainly or directly answer that question. I'm still waiting for cla...

No, that doesn't explain it, because the cases aren't analogous in relevant ways which I suspect you're purposefully sidelining. It's only a double st...

It means that there's a standard for such explanations to either meet or fail to meet. My standard rules out category errors, for example. Human being...

Don't mollusc.

How so? This has been answered already. How many times do you plan on reverting to the same tired questions? Is this an argument from repetition? Your...

That's debatable, but even if so, there's no need to go overboard. It isn't anything goes. I find it hard to make sense of that question, so I'm not g...

Yes, based on my original understanding, which was based on what you said. But now you're talking about metaphors, which has made me doubt my original...

You want Sergeant Subtle Irony to spell it out for you? :D

I think you missed quite a bit, actually.

My name isn't Captain Obvious. It's Sergeant Subtle Irony.

My name isn't Captain Obvious.

Well, what exactly are we talking about here? A metaphor or a category error? If it's just a metaphor, and is acknowledged to be nothing more than a m...

Okey-dokey then! I will most definitely leave it. It doesn't pass my quality control.

I don't like coffee. And I think you misspelt "Nietzsche".

They went bankrupt. Word on the street is that there was an owl who ran up a huge bill but then flew away without paying.

I got a taxi.

You're right not to believe that. It was actually 11 years and three days.

That's nothing. I once played badminton non-stop for 10 years in the center of the Sun. And I won every match.

Well, you could actually back up what you're claiming about my position and not disregard my subsequent attempts to clarify.

I see that you're all talk. You and Agustino. You and Agustino might be satisfied with pushing over a straw man based on an uncharitable interpretatio...

No it doesn't. If it did, then I would reject it myself. You're attacking a straw man. There's just a single line, and on one side there's person and ...

See unenlightened 's reductio ad absurdum.

No. No it isn't. Nature is nature and order is order. If nature is order then water is justice, Mars is Venus, and a bicycle is a fish. No, not we, yo...

Well, I'm glad you had such a good time on your birthday. You don't know how lucky you are. It was my birthday last Sunday, and I had a horrible time ...

"The cacophony of phlegmatic and tubercular lungs was punctuated here and there by a moan or a scream of someone terrified, thrashing in the throes of...

I am not MANY people. The two are indeed comparable for me and for MANY others, in at least the sense that they're both unbelievable. This God fellow ...

A set is not a concept, but the concept of a set is. And I'm not using that word in a strict technical sense, but with a similar meaning to group, col...

No, I don't see what you mean. And I don't have an imaginary friend.

Easier said than done. And hypothetically, I wouldn't choose that over what I've got anyway, for a similar reason I wouldn't choose the pleasure machi...

Like an imaginary friend, but one you convince yourself is real.

Whatever you say, Nietzsche.

Here's something that's manmade. Therefore it's manmade. Here's something that isn't manmade, but that I'll associate with something that's manmade. T...

Right. So it's begging the question.

Is that another loaded question? Do you think that your use of "source" and "order" make that a fair question? The regularity is attributable to natur...

I've come to expect that. It's what he does.

What's relevant is what we know about people, history and probability. We know the basic history of rooms and most of their contents, in that we know ...
