It was internet-roots, stewed in conspiracy theories for years. It's all fantasy. Don't you realize that?

Just not interested in in discussing it in snappy barbs with a European.

Are you an American?

What all these people have in common is that they don't trust the mainstream media at all. Their world has been taken over by fraud and evil. They're ...

I'm not encouraged by the way 2021 is starting out. This, then the bump in covid deaths from Christmas.

I think it's just QAnon doing what they think Trump asked them to do

ok here's the plan: we're going to crash the rotunda and...

Could be. What's the significance of the topic from your point of view?

You're not in conflict with anyone. :up:

Do you understand that this view is not in conflict with framing belief as an attitude toward a proposition?

You mean like the IRA? Or just isolated cases? Also, exacty how anti-semitic are they? Is that just their fringe? Or is it core?

Right. The carpenter's behavior shows that he knows how to use a hammer. Why do you want to interpret the scene in terms of belief? Wouldn't Witti adv...

Once again, I note a failure here to understand what a proposition is. I think it's localized to this forum, unless somebody knows a source for this a...

Yes. It's probably just different senses of the term. To believe can specify an attitude toward a proposition, or an explanation for the behavior of a...

That's QAnon. Trump knows about it. He's feeding it.

Thanks! From that article: "This development has enabled the theory to gain supporters from across the political spectrum and of diverse backgrounds. ...

Trump accidentally spawns a new religion. It's already present now in the UK and Germany. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCFAa_t0YU8

Trump is a hero to QAnon. QAnon, which is now a fusion of anti-vaxers, people who either believe COVID19 is spread by 5G or believe that it's a hoax, ...

You sound morose. I guess I would be if the roles were reversed. Hee hee heee. :razz:

Oops. It's not invisible on my side. It was a song by Aaron Neville called Angola Bound.

Silence keeps people down, whether it's victims of sexual molestation or assault, racial discrimination, or economic hardship. So even if marching and...

In 2017 California grew 31,000 tons of figs, most of which went into Nabisco fig Newtons.

I would definitely face off KKK ralliers with signs and chanting. Maybe a rotten egg or two. It doesn't help anything to hurt people, but it definitel...

The typical historian says it was caused by an economic downturn that followed the French Indian War. Rather than rich Bostonians, it was dock craftsm...

As I said, it started as random violence (usually involving fire) in Boston. Any historian would agree that there wouldn't have been a revolution with...

The American revolution started out as random violence (against property) culminating in a million dollars worth of tea being dumped into Boston Harbo...

So you would have been opposed to the American Revolution.

So you wouldn't mind a violent response to a KKK rally on the grounds of a university, or would you?

:lol:

Do you know anything about neo-fascism in Germany?

Philosophy is a pastime for the leisure class. Once you notice that some knowledge is apriori, it's natural to wonder how that kind of knowledge relat...

Yes. We have to speak with implicit if/thens to cover our mountains of assumptions.

I think the main takeaway is that it's appropriate to be a condescending ass about Candide when Voltaire was being a condescending ass when he wrote i...

Voltaire was misunderstanding Leibniz in that work.

:lol: Is Tarkovsky still alive? I want some endless shots of seaweed floating by.

I understand what you're saying. Belief can't be neatly isolated the way the propositional account wants to do.

So if belief was a movie, the protagonist's having an attitude toward a proposition is just one scene. There are also moments in a garden where, havin...

It's only one tiny drop of the vast Doughnutlessness.

I'm answering your post backward. This last paragraph, taken alone, seems to be launching existentialism of a kind I can definitely embrace because I'...

Exactly! We're drawn to conclude that propositions are abstract objects by the logic of communication. If I agree with you, it doesn't make sense to s...

It's in the middle of my donut.

True. :blush:

Merry Christmas!

I think that when I reflect on my interaction with the world, I frame it as a conversation. As I probe my environment, it's like I'm asking questions....

That's your religion.

This was the passage: The author doesn't know what caused the fluttering. There's supposed to be some brain states associated with a perceptual hypoth...

I think it is. Not many people realize that you can step outside our universe, and that it looks like a flat dinner plate when you do. There's a speci...

This is the greatest OP ever.
