How would know?

I think I'm gonna have to drop out here. Sorry! I use the abbreviation H20 to refer to sterile water pretty regularly. Somebody put it in a drop-down ...

Idealism doesn't have to be substanceless. Some would say the world is made of idea stuff. In that case, an idealist would say H20 has substance. We c...

That's going overboard to find a wedge to drive between the terms. It's much easier than that.

So let's shelve Kripke, ok? It's not relevant to the issue raised in the OP. Note my previous comment: Harvey thinks H20 is combustible. He doesn't th...

You could do some reading about Kripke and intensional definition, then start threads.

I'll match the energy you put into talking about Wittgenstein with me. It's about possible worlds. There's an SEP article on it. Linked above.

Sure. The example of H20 and water is part of a famous Kripkean demonstration of necessity in his possible worlds framework. It's about intension. Som...

Not according to Kripke, but as I explained, this is not the issue being raised in the OP.

Intension. Regarding Kripke, I'd send a PM to Nagase. He shows up every now and then. He's pointed out problems with my secondary resources, so see if...

Ok

He's talking about what a speaker does and doesn't know. He's pointing to intensional operators.

Sorry. I don't know what you're talking about.

The OP is clearly talking about intension, not cases of aposteriori necessity.

Enabled?

That's not really the issue though. What's of significance is that we often can't layout the meaning of a word by pointing to it's extension. Banno is...

I think the difference mainly shows up when we're talking about what people know or believe. Harvey believes H2O is combustible. He doesn't believe wa...

Old but good. :up:

What a bunch of navel gazing.

They just don't know where to get the good stuff: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1YFrISfN7jo

Your little personality traits theory isn't psychology.

Correct.

Like a big drash tent. Yeah.

So what is your opinion? If a person prizes a free market above the availability of healthcare, is there a personality trait in that?

Interesting.

So you really did hear a Republican claim leftism? Could you fill in the details?

I've never heard one say that. American conservatives actually are 21st Century liberals, though.

Conservative/liberal tends to signify an American context. But yes, as long as we pick a framework and stick to it, we're good.

I know. You seemed to be agreeing with the OP when your real feeling is that she's wrong because we're all p-zombies. To know you is to love you, man.

You changed to liberal/conservative. That's not the same as left/right, is it?

Troll

By 'psychology' you mean modeling similar to climate models or models of the earth's em field, or the Yellowstone Caldera. The OP is obviously not usi...

Leftism is not defined as an opposition to the status quo. I'm not going to repeat that.

You're giving me contradictory answers.

Could you go into a little more detail here? I'm not quite sure what your point is. Well, let's put it this way: to psychologize a political movement,...

I don't think so. Leftism

So your point is that a single failure doesn't indicate that the whole endeavor has failed. I think the reason that attempting to describe the left ps...

Midnight weirdness Some get really sick. I just had a headache.

What are you talking about? Are you an expert in the psychology of politics?

Yep. Hume and Locke used the same technique, right?

So you're basically approving of the first amendment?

Yes. Did you know that Obama's father was from a lower class group in Kenya so that if Obama had been born there, he never would have risen to promine...

It's usually apparent. I take 180 to be saying that if a purple person, say, judges all other colors to be inferior to purple, this is intolerance or ...

The only name calling was my reference to Bolton. I said he was a schizo. You seem to be taking that personally. He's also a rotten koala turd.

Like why are you irritated? Is the guy bothering you?

What if they put a hole in your neck so you could breathe and then blood started pouring out of the hole and when the guy comes to help you, you're li...

What if you had part of a lung removed and you had bad nightmares afterwards? And then you sold the story from the nighmare and you made millions of d...

What if you were so tall you had to squat down to keep from bashing your head into the ceiling?

Thanks. The OP is a year old, though. I was responding to someone who subsequently disappeared.

Not sure why you're carrying on with this. You've already denied nazi sympathy. That's it. You're fine. Don't go back to 8chan. All is good.
