I do recognise that. Who here doesn't? It's obvious, isn't it? Phenomena, by definition, as you note, are subjective. Well no, not necessarily, since,...

Wouldn't that count as a public nuisance or breach of the peace or something of that sort, and therefore not be legally fine? Ah yes, found it. In the...

And my question is: why do you ask, and why isn't that answer good enough for you? You could go and ask a neuroscientist who could probably give you a...

Buffalos don't have wings.

I'd choose me over Benkei, too. Plus, I'm not a fan of Haagaarvaadaradddar.

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, then yes. But since you're American, I can never be too sure what you're talking about, giv...

You're the one denying the reality of the situation. They're similar enough to make comparisons. You yourself claimed that the left protested under th...

Not a lot, if protesting in their thousands is not a lot. Depends how you look at it, really. And that they would indeed protest cannot credibly be do...

But the style of defence is the same, right? Why stop there? He didn't say anything mocking the reporter's disability, and he didn't say that people s...

Oh, did I say "mouth"...? :D

Yes, that's correct. But I just don't buy these kind of defences of Trump that deny what he seems to be quite clearly suggesting. It just looks like a...

If you want to distinguish this group of people who don't protest and label them 'conservatives', then so be it. But that overlooks the reality of the...

Here in the U.K., the Official Opposition, Labour, have understandably taken up much of the airtime on this topic, and you'd be misrepresenting their ...

If she had won perfectly legitimately, they'd nevertheless have protested in their thousands, chanting things like "Lock her up!" and calling her "Cro...

Phew! Thank goodness. I'm such a worrywart.

No, I think that witnessing Trump become president and finding out about his widely publicised actions since becoming president have convinced Trump o...

The context of what you quoted is important, and I'm not sure you've fully taken that into account. We mean different things when we each say that spa...

I think that one key to understanding the view that red objects are those that emit x wavelength of light, and the reason why it is not a conflation i...

We are, but that's the point. It emphasises the fallibility in what we normally do.

Then, as I argued in the discussion I created on whether truth is mind-dependent, I'll argue that colour, as I have defined it, is not mind-dependent,...

It says that this is because it consists of grey pixels. There is no specific wavelength on the spectrum for grey, but something is grey when all wave...

Stop trying to steal my last word. Tiff, you've already had the last word in the old discussion (even though it was really me in disguise), so you sho...

We do indeed tend to determine what colour something is by looking at it. But there's more to it than that. That's the reason why we tend to fall for ...

Okay, but that doesn't follow from anything you said, except the parts where you said that you see red, by that's false or misleading, since there is ...

Of course it was. That's why we're only just hearing about it now on the news. It was kept secret from the general public who do not have inside knowl...

Oh, well that makes it alright then. :-} Obviously it's not secret anymore, but it was. And I haven't denied the incompetence. I denied its relevance ...

It's about the scale and covert nature of this cyber warfare arsenal. Think how many people own a smart car, phone or TV. How many of these people are...

I was just about to delete my comment, but then I noticed that you'd replied. I was going to do so because, although that's a way of objectively sayin...

We can do so in accordance with an objective categorisation of colour. If it is so-and-so, then it is red. You just reject this categorisation, as it ...

Okay, Hyper Light Drifter is bloody difficult, like Titan Souls. I play for a while and then rage quit. I'm currently on the first boss: the bird.

I'm quite sure I've argued against a similar position myself before, but I just thought about it real hard and ended up here. Funny how things turn ou...

Yeah, that they're a complete buffoon would make those other qualities seem pale in comparison, given what the job role requires.

Yep. It seems that some people want to include our perception in the object that we're talking about, but under scrutiny that makes no sense, and that...

Isn't that like trying to get to Neverland? I doubt you'll have much luck. I'm not even trying.

In the analogy, the dangerous waters are the cyber warfare arsenal under the control of the CIA referred to in the opening post. Dangerous waters are ...

I agree, but not to the extent that the strawberries in the picture are red, if that is what you're suggesting, or if that is what you conclude from t...

Bribery?

This is a question that could be answered through demonstration if there were any doubt, although trolling is not permitted here, and I doubt your dou...

If what we see is red, then what is it that we see? The picture is not the pixel (singular), but the picture is the pixels (plural), is it not? If so,...

Made me think of this: https://youtu.be/MK6TXMsvgQg I like it though. I'm guessing that's because the snake pursues the pig to bite it out of hatred, ...

Oh my god. This man should be fired already. It's something new every day, isn't it? The other day it was his unfounded allegation that Obama had him ...

So, you think that it's pretty clear, yet you don't use that to give a simple answer to the following question. Why not? That prior question was conne...

Ha! This is a free, public online forum. There's nothing stopping anyone from talking about that when that's the topic of discussion. I'm just pointin...

There are mixed views. And dangerous disclosure can be compatible with the right thing to do. The danger aspect needn't be what determines the rightne...

Right or wrong, what's done is done, and can't be undone, unless perhaps you have a time machine. No you look, you're shooting the messenger for raisi...

Those two statements are not inconsistent for the same reason that it is not inconsistent to say, for example, that I could go fishing, but I don't. W...

I think that you can and should say more, but not more of the same. That would save me the trouble of trying to work out the implications of what you'...

Okay, but this isn't about Assange. It doesn't matter who published the information. What matters is the information itself and its consequences.

So what's your answer to the title question?

That's Hanover's hand. I'd recognise it anywhere. You can't tell from the picture, but he's most likely wearing a wardrobe, which makes his noble act ...
