Right. Characterizing knowledge is an important component in information theory. I can know something without showing or doing anything. So can you.

I agree. You're pointing to the fact that location is an extrinsic property.

It's the "information in the head" situation. We located it there because we didn't want knowing to be an activity that's smeared across the universe....

It reveals the ontological confusion underneath the OP. Behaviorism has been rejected for the most part, while science doesn't even have the conceptua...

I think we want to resist having information scattered all over th environment because that would appear to be either behaviorism or panpsychism.

Context matters. If I suspect this person is trying to get money from me for drugs, that will influence my interpretation. If the person turns toward ...

I don't understand.

But if you think about it long enough you might go into a brown study.

Yep.

I don't think nominalism leads one to believe that if two people contemplate the same proposition that their brain states are similar.

I think you'd need to argue for this. It's not a scientific conclusion.

Awesome response, thanks. But does your position allow commentary on consciousness as it relates to time? Would that not require a transcendent vantag...

The universe has no location in time or space. Is that object an exception? Or is there no universe?

So you're pondering proposition P. P is your brain state. I can't have your brain state because I don't have access to your brain. Does that mean we c...

A proposition has no location in time or space. Does that figure in your view?

A steeple points to the sky, but isn't showing anything. More than pointing goes into showing. We first assess the pointer for her frame of reference.

To show means to make known. Is that the meaning you were thinking of? Or what?

Max Ernst's works were identified as degenerate art by the Nazis. So no, not fascist. Leonora Carrington was the best one, imo.

Ok, but I spoke of aligning frames of reference as a model, not sending something down a tunnel.

You may be right, but he said he painted because life seemed to require that he do something. Maybe he was joking.

Is it? Do you mean thinking is a sequence of propositions?

More on smuggling reflexivity into the gallery?

Magritte rejected art as communication. Since art has long been a form of communication, his view is a model of behaviorism, which rejects communicati...

We're intellectual, emotional, and bodily. Feeling is important, but can't cover all. Why?

Sure. Exclamations, commands, etc. are propositionless. To have completely propositionless communication, we need to get rid of truth-apt statements. ...

Imagine that you know Magritte, and you have reason to believe he's trying to tell you something using paint as his vehicle of communication. How woul...

Propositionless communication is what I was thinking of.

I would need some more stuff to do that.

IOW, understanding the expression of another requires some spontaneous anthropology.

Buy an industrial sewing maching that sews leather (off ebay for super cheap) and start making the world's weirdest shoes. Works for me.

From a lawyer maybe. Hope you're doing well!

"She argued that "ought" has become "a word of mere mesmeric force", since it no longer has the corollary "because we are commanded by God"." This is ...

Perspectives on when personhood starts vary. If we say we'll only consider capabilities of those identified as persons in a particular country, should...

ok who taught him the word "obliteration"?

I don't think I'd know what to do with an ethical theory. I think I understand what we mean by "morality" though. Morality is meaningful in the contex...

Anger is part of a sympathetic nervous response. It's the "fight" part. People can trigger that response in themselves just by imagining an approachin...

Yep. We want Indian girls to gave access to education and we measure the development of India by this standard. If some Indians see that as foreign ma...

People on all sides of a moral issue could end all discussion by saying something like this: you don't understand, so you won't understand. And I thin...

Chinese tariffs won't hurt US businesses...much. Really?

Yep. A religious forum would be better equipped.

Imagine that in the midst of an economic downturn, an anti-globalist, super-rightist, hawkish entity arises in your country and this forum is in charg...

Some portion of ethics can be discovered by taking your mashing machine apart.

There was a horrendous episode in US history when eugenics became popular. People were forcibly sterilized in order to make the world a better place. ...

I got the feeling you were critiquing some Nature for Nature's Sake cult. It's more about suspicion of people with power and recognition of the hubris...

I wasn't trying to be offensive. If you were familiar with that reference it would have saved me some tying on my phone.
