He was like: 'I love Jews, but they hate white people, they want to destroy them by importing non-whites.' I think we probably disagree on which direc...

I'm saying we aren't at dictatorship yet. What's happening now is we're all getting used to the ideas associated with it, like censorship, domestic us...

I think right now the only thing that stand between us and dictatorship is the courts.

I think JTB is a characterization of internalism.. If he read Descartes' Meditations, he would be cautious about knowledge claims. If he asserts thing...

John points to the white board, which has the figure 2 written on it. He says, "That is a prime number." We'll call the sentence he uttered S. The cau...

I think the real problem is that ratings are down for all the late night talk shows. They're a vestige. Colbert's show was losing money. In order to b...

Ah, the sound of intellectual impotence. It's uninteresting. It's unimportant. It's irrelevant. Why in the name of John Locke should I be concerned ab...

Did you mean correspondence? I don't see what coexistence does there. No belief is an island. Any particular belief implies a web of associated propos...

Anybody else notice that Charlie Kirk's face was too small for his head?

I don't think we have any criteria for determining what's real and what isn't in the philosophical sense. It's interesting to consider that this might...

I didn't say that it is, just that it could be. We don't know.

Still, it could be a collective dream. It really could be. We don't know. :grin:

All our times have come Here, but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the Reaper Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain --BOC

I'm not sure what you're talking about. My baseline view is Neoplatonic, not physicalist, although I think one ontology is as good as another.

:up: So this may be a collective dream. We don't know.

There's no criteria for testing which of your experiences are of something real and which are false, for instance, drug induced, right?

Maybe the first idea was money. Not bartering items, but coinage. It's a blank space that can be filled with a thousand things of value, so it's value...

You can only put off becoming fascist for so long until BAM! You're there. Deal with it.

I'm more a positive nihilist. A sad nihilist is trying, but failing to accept life on its terms.

The only people who believe there are organizations that would fund violence against conservatives are people like Kirk, who believed Jews are attempt...

I have passages of that memorized. One of my favorites.

I think it's just meant to express what we mean by know, especially if we're knowledge internalists, which means we believe knowledge requires access ...

That entire side of the house is filled with Coke.

I don't see how it matters what we call it.

What does it mean to know a false proposition?

Yep. But isn't satisfaction fleeting? Pain endures, the pain of guilt, the pain of regret, the pain of resentment, the pain of longing for forgiveness...

I said engine of emotion. For that, you need emotional wounds. That's what morality is all about.

We need to clone that guy. He's amazing.

Sacrifices have to be made apparently.

I've noticed that everyone around me is happy Kirk is dead, not happy that people are going around shooting each other, just happy one jackass is gone...

There was no massive retaliation from whites because there was no violence from blacks. You see, this is what's missed when you advocate violence: tha...

He wouldn't have accomplished anything by instigating violence, other than to have numerous lynched black men in his wake, lynching involves torture, ...

We have different priorities. Politics doesn't mean much to me. People's lives do, whether it's one person or 9 million. I realize you care about peop...

It sounds like your concern is primarily political. :meh: You like that word "valence" don't you? :grin: There's a big valence band around the whole n...

I have a thing for unhonored victims. For instance, in the Atlantic slave trade, about 9 million went to Brazil and the Caribbean where they died youn...

I'm all for that. I think guilt and condemnation are the central engine of emotion in human life. It's incredibly powerful stuff. If finding a moral f...

If being distressed about Palestine leads to bloodlust for conservative assholes, it's probably time for a therapist and some meds.

Ok.

Like an invisible jellyfish floating inside the skull?

We're a violent species. Political violence is one of the many forms of jungle ape we manifest. Thus, there is no philosophy of political violence. Un...

I'm a moral nihilist. :grin:

I don't know exactly what ideas are, but I think of them as something we're abstracting out of situations. They don't stand alone. I think some kind o...

My view, for what it's worth, is that murder is never justifiable. Violence takes place in an amoral realm in which survival is the goal on both sides...

Donald Davidson says rationality requires understanding the concept of truth. I don't see how an AI would do that.

Are you asking when it's appropriate to add violence to your political activism?

I like this one.
