universeness

Started reading the first link to the IEP resource. I like the fact its free and the editors are not paid so have no 'ulterior motives,' in what they ...

:up: I also know of no attempts in the current AI developments where they are trying to emulate the human concept of belief. I do think that belief is...

Perhaps that's part of the reason why a horror like Trump can become president. Although living in Scotland under the gangland Westminster crew with D...

:smile: I know what you mean. It's hard to keep up with developments in computing science as well, which is my field of expertise. But projecting my k...

He is, but I don't know the various ways into American politics for people not born there. Even if he can't gain high political office in the USA, he ...

Where did I suggest he has? Everyone imo has their own philosophical approach to life, yes? Suggested synonyms for the word philosophy from the Bing o...

I agree that he increases divisions between people but I object a lot more to his claim to not be right-wing and be theistically conflicted. He talks ...

Thank you indeed for the time and effort you have spent in watching the video and typing your views. So Twitter did not ban him straight away they gav...

Based on the evidence that we have not found any life beyond earth, it can be stated that during the time it took for our star(the sun) to form and th...

Ok, thanks for contributing to my recategorised thread and your further input regarding my two ban threats. I still don't want to be nice to antinatal...

In my OP I included: In analytic philosophy, philosophy of language investigates the nature of language and the relations between language, language u...

I appreciate you as admin staff taking the time to post on this thread, regarding the issues I raised and the issue of 'well-formed OP's.' I watched t...

'streetlight,' is an interesting case which has been discussed a lot in the 'bannings' thread. In his case I personally would 'leave the door open' fo...

This just seems to confirm that belief does not require irrefutable evidence but knowledge does.

Yes, I was threatened twice with banning due to some of my angry responses and insults towards the antinatalists on antinatalist threads. They respond...

I agree, we have reached a phase of a great deal of social, political, economic and ecological upheaval. Responsible human stewardship of the planet i...

:up: Do you think there is credence in the proposal that there WILL BE a time in the future when a human, a transhuman or a non-human system will be d...

I think some topics are very emotive and moderation should take more account of that before they threaten with the Banno, I mean ban reaction. Ok, tha...

Sorry, just noticed the tense, why the past tense? Just a typo? a 'd' that shouldn't be there, no alternate horrors I hope.

Happened to me three times so far. Dark, nasty and very very painful. It's Humpty Dumpty time, you almost have to put yourself together again from scr...

:clap: Yeah, at 25, leave an inside light on and a wee door ajar, so that people can notice you and say hello!

I appreciated and understand your caution with those you don't know yet. To me, it's a bit like the pioneer spirit. Social interaction has risk but ca...

The members of this forum are part of real life. You type many interesting things and take nice photo's, why would that change if I met you in person?...

I will PM you.

:clap: :clap:

I agree. I like your Do you have any philosophical musings about why we are compelled to do this, without going off thread! You don't want to invoke t...

I like your introduction of 'fallibility' into the discussion. Fallible, described as 'capable of making mistakes or being wrong.' Fallibility could i...

Can you give a real-life example or does this have to firmly stay in propositional logic? Say about your own attributes for example. I know I am male,...

She cant be 30 and not 30 at the same time. That's the paradox and if she is 29 then she's not 30 so how can you know she is 30 if she is 29? REAL wor...

Who you calling a neophyte? Ya neophyte!

Sorry for the late response praxis but you didn't place a reply link in your recent response so I was not informed it was there. Well, thanks for doin...

:lol: Or more precisely, this is where moderators/administrators, in full monarch mode, put threads they don't really like, to die. One day, come the ...

I only value that which is physically possible. I also would not connect metaphysical indeterminacy (whatever that might mean) with quantum indetermin...

So what does your analysis tell you about whether omniscience or/and absolute truths has/have existed, can exist or will exist?

Well does that not bring us back to the other thread about absolute truths and the proposal that there are no universal absolute truths but we can get...

I get that so if applied to omniscience this shows we land in paradox, does it not? If it does then does this not suggest omniscience cannot be eviden...

But, is it not the same for the liars paradox or the barbers paradox? Why are they 'actual paradoxes? I mean 'This statement is false,' is not well de...

I am mostly with you here. Certainly, the only system that could prove a system was omniscient would have to be itself, omniscient. As only an omnisci...

Not at all, thank you for your permission to use it. It would be great in a digital composition involving wolves looking upwards or small children loo...

Great photo. Can I screen dump it and add it to my library of copyright free images? I use them for guides for my oil paintings or when I try to creat...

I thought I might try to explain my thinking on the 'exception' issue. I was thinking about stuff like 'all snow is white,' except for some bits of sn...

Why would it be wrong in modal logic to state knowledge subsumes belief? So, in general, line 2 is just a modal logic premise that it's possible for a...

Tell me if I am getting anywhere with: Kp ? x knows p Bp ? x believes p 1. Kp ? Bp (premise) 2. ?p: Kp (premise) 3. ?p: ¬?p (premise) Ignoring 4 for n...

If that's the way you think then you won't go far wrong in this world. :strong: :smile: :up: :flower:

I typed I agree, once all who can or want to contribute, understand the symbology used in the logic you are presenting. My complaint towards you is a ...

Once you explain it or a person, understands it based on their own research then sure, it becomes basic, but not until then. A good teacher does not m...

Defending my own typings, I thought I was on topic. Your title is 'The paradox of omniscience,' which I quite clearly responded to. The term omniscien...

Charming, the moderator involved could have at least told me they had done so and told me why. I am not a fan of monarchistic moderation but you are o...

Ok I see I am better to keep my Computing hat on as you are using ^ as the logical AND operator etc. I will do my own translation and perhaps comment ...

Ok, but could we have more lay terms please. So does 1. translate into: 1. For all values of p, Kp (does his mean K is a function or process performed...
