There's pretty widespread recognition of the problem. China is building nuclear power plants, which is what we all should be doing. It's pretty normal...

I know you said you're gay, have you ever had gender dysphoria?

Should be ok. The most vulnerable are already vaccinated. Every now and then it takes out an otherwise healthy young person. That info should go out t...

Can you do a series of surrealists paintings of a guy whose head exploded and he goes to sea? the hole gets darker and darker and he eventually puts a...

Yes, similar. There's the added dimension of creating a language game vs playing one.

It's cool to just follow it around, tho. A. (I love it) because (it's pious.) B. (It's pious) because (I love it.) it's not like equations where it en...

But you just kept typing and then you went to work and stood around at the water cooler with no head. Then you said screw this and you got in the car ...

Without valleys there would be no mountains.

If it happens, it will absorb all existing frameworks into itself, as Christianity did. There would need to be a prophet. There would be various facti...

Jaysus. I had 4 broken ribs one time. I got through with ibuprofen, but like 800 mg at a time? Does that sound right?

Eh. Some people's eyes glaze over at Davidson, so there's plenty of that.

Yea. The dilemma doesn't exist for a monistic objective idealist, though.

I think we all agree on this.

Sure. You just asked what the alternative interpretation is. That's it. Athenians were heavily into appearance, whatever we might think if that. It wa...

Yes. This line of discussion started with my saying that we don't have to see Euthyphro as a villain. I think you're agreeing that he might have just ...

Not at all. He just would have known that Socrates was the victim of superstition. You're avoiding the question?

Ahh. I love Heidegger's essay on metaphysics. It's like Jimi Hendrix.

This is what the Athenians did to Socrates. The sentenced him to death to cleanse their city of his influence. We know this had a profound effect on P...

Yes. That's the dilemma. I was starting to think you might be suffering from dementia or something (I really did).

Euthyphro may have no agenda than to be pious. Being impious could bring disaster down upon his house, so he may want to attend to it before he embark...

But what is he talking about? Why is he saying that?

The Euthyphro dilemma isn't in Euthyphro?

:up:

Does anybody want to focus further on the dilemma?

So what's the alternative to Copenhagen?

That's one way to interpret it. There are others. That could be one layer of it. There are others.

Feel free to flesh it out. We're listening. I kind of feel bad that you're feeling so attacked. I think if we go around the room, we'll find that each...

Could be. But would you want to return to the dilemma? Or are you finished pondering it?

I thought he was talking about the parable of the Good Samaritan. That was supposed to be Jesus narrating. Doesn't mean it was, though.

I don't think analytical philosophy would interfere with any of this. I mean, "there's a god" is true IFF there's a god. What am I missing?

Why isn't it Jesus' story?

It just needed to be out in the country, sort of isolated.

What is the cause of this? Too much leisure time?

Have you ever noticed that a shrimp is basically a large juicy bug?

That's how it starts. Next thing you know you have a gigantic hole that people fall into every year and you can make a tourist attraction out of it. h...

That's an excellent list.

It's a list of letters.

I think about what he said several times a year, every year.

So with the Copenhagen Int., we can talk about superposition, but we aren't talking about reality. That's so weird.

Man's Search for Meaning -- Victor Frankl

Categories are used specify. When I originally mentioned Plato's idealism, I was pointing out that when reading Phaedo, It might enhance understanding...

it's just a category. If you throw your lot in with Fooloso4, then you'll assert that we should look to the life of Socrates to guide us in interpreta...

Take a look at any recent scholarship that includes "Plato" and "idealism." There's no reluctance to identify Plato and his contemporaries as idealist...

Hate to butt in, but he did that Fooloso4. You probably just missed it

Not to me.

This sentence doesn't make sense.

That was about his insistence that Plato can't be called an idealist and other oddities. I said nothing about doctrine

Where?

Good point. What Greek influence would that have been? Stoicism?
