Shh!

Noted.

Generous.

I think that you, me, and Isaac are of one mind on that.

Has anyone actually made that claim, though? That reason is useful for "everything"? Or that that logic and reason have "infinite ability"? Or are abl...

You're free to do what you want, as am I. Freedom of expression. That you might have chosen to ignore me doesn't mean that I will stop commenting on y...

Much has been said on this by philosophers themselves. Hume with his "consign it to the flames". Wittgenstein with his "whereof we cannot speak".

Yes. I wonder where that could lead to? Let's go full circle again to find out. And then once we've done that, let's do it again. And again. And again...

We can in some cases determine with logic what can and cannot exist. That which the existence of which would imply a contradiction cannot exist. So th...

It's a proof by repeated assertion. He's not the only one who does this. We've also seen it with "thought/belief" and with "just a guess".

Me too. It would be quite alarming if he actually thought that way, but he doesn't. He is inconsistent. He only goes with the crowd when the crowd hap...

That is what you are doing.

Yes, I'm with you on that one, and I've raised that objection before. Soundness is pretty important. Ignoring criticism just because it isn't an inter...

Well then take it from there. Demonstrate the objections to be "invalid". Shouldn't start from the beginning again, each time, over and over.

That's a "no", then, I suppose.

Only in philosophy.

I've engaged it myself before. I haven't just jumped right in to attacking it in this way. I doubt much good will come of seriously engaging it. Becau...

I disagree with that approach. I think we should combat nonsense and garbage, not encourage it. He's under the illusion that what he's saying is credi...

Let me guess. You think/believe that it consists in/of thought/belief, and the whole of Western philosophy utterly fails to distinguish between though...

Oh look: The very first reply. Funny that. Other people are saying it, too.

Thank goodness. Please don't. Haven't we seen enough? That which exists in entirety prior to language. Utterly fail to distinguish between thought/bel...

It's the first in quite some time. I recall that we agreed on much over linguistic meaning, but we disagree substantially over ethics.

Okay, so we're in agreement that it's a, "Could be, but don't know".

This is representative of the bad logic we first saw thousands of years ago with Zeno. It should not be taken seriously, except as some sort of challe...

Well, not quite. It could be true (or false) regardless of our knowledge of it, but when it comes to making sense of it all, I think in terms of, "How...

So, presumably, you'll openly admit that you're an ideologue? Or will you justify your own appeal to reason and logic?

It's hard not to give short shrift when you've seen the same question so many times, and it goes the same way, with the same problems. I've given the ...

Let's have another vote on the deal. That's what I say. Fifth time's the charm?

On perhaps the most important question of all, whether you can get something from nothing, you left out "unsure". Massive oversight.

I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes. Sovereign Dual. Philosophy of fuck it.

The modern way of punishing Socrates is to try to kill his wisdom with silence.

A piece of advice: just use another word. Religious language is redundant when you use it that way. It only causes problems, as we've seen. It causes ...

It. That which is prior to language. In it's entirety. If it sounds like nonsense, then that's probably because it is. Like I said earlier, he is tryi...

Hmm. More like a duck and a parrot. One's a quack and the other just echoes whatever Kant said! :lol:

A fair question, given his style of writing. Though hugely ironic coming from you.

I'm a good writer. Others could take a leaf out of my book. Hint, hint, @"creativesoul".

You could've just said that the concept influences how we think and feel in ways which you judge to be of importance. You should learn to speak more p...

I'm both crying, yet at the same time jerking off. Let's all join in and form a circle.

Nada. What differs between our aporoach and his is that he separates the one and the other without justification, also known as special pleading. We d...

I would've guessed you were a yellow. Not like a canary yellow, more of a munsell yellow. Although I best be careful, lest you angrily respond, "I am ...

I think that spirit is a sense of belonging. It is that wondrous and inspiring sense of there being a connection to energy and consciousness, to somet...

So true! :lol:

So you're off topic. Unless you can make a relevant connection to the topic.

That's ironic. We're both doing it right now. You tell me. It's not a serious dilemma in my life. I am not in turmoil over it. I just said that it wou...

I meant "philosopher" in a looser sense than being a recognised philosopher with formal qualifications, published writings, and a professorship, but n...

He is hopelessly trapped in his own self-defeating performative contradiction.

He's not a philosopher on this matter, he just wants to be recognised as one. Maybe we should just give him a pat on the head and walk away.

That is not doing philosophy. That is doing wishful thinking.

Well it isn't working. We all experience the redness of red, unless we're colour blind or something. It is perfectly ordinary. That is certainly not t...
