Could you explain the difference?

Que?

Banno mentioned it recently. I hadn't heard of it before that. :cool:

I have. It was a short conversation.

We rely on logic to help us avoid the wrong direction. I don't understand the significance of this.

Physicists do attempt to describe, but being prepared to embrace some counter logic is problematic. How would we know when to choose another logic and...

Putnam attempted to make a case for this regarding so-called quantum logic. Is that what you're talking about?

I prayed that your dog would eat 3 burritos and crap over your entire house.

I'm finding your posts fascinating. :up:

Holy shit, that's true. Educated women have fewer children.

The former is called positive atheism. Never argue with a positive atheist because they're usually emotionally unstable. This is a famous little blerb...

I think there are some areas of philosophy where we do act as though we're on the autistic spectrum and we don't quite know what to do with words, and...

My intention was to be on the same page as the OP. If I failed, that can be worked out in conversation. This is the article Psychology Today used to j...

Look at religion the way a sociologist might. More educated, affluent people are more likely to be atheists. I think the reason for this is related to...

You're probably right.

Plus we shouldn't write two paragraphs just to explain that the map isn't the territory. Just say the map isn't the territory and go about your busine...

I've seen you come back to this issue before. It obviously means something significant to you. As anyone who has a subscription to a pop sci magazine ...

Because it's only in the darkest of times that the grandeur of the hobbit spirit is revealed.

That's great, egg-boy.

It's duck/rabbits all the way down, chief. I was asking for the signs you take as proof that there is an independent formlessness.

Could you elaborate?

"What is conceptualized" is the markings of a duck/rabbit. Even markings are a fusion of form and formless matter. If you're claiming the formless has...

There is a mass of evidence that humans emerged from an African population made up of a variety of species of the genus Homo. Since this view is widel...

No. McCarthy's thesis is that a chimpanzee mated with a pig. When he says chimpanzee, he means chimpanzee. He rejects just about all of our present un...

Wait, I found someone who will engage the topic.

Domestic pigs come from wild boars which are covered in fur. So this makes no sense.

The New Zealand and Austrailian nazis need to settle down.

Possible world semantics is appealing because of the way it fits a common and ancient analysis of language: all events take place in a completed world...

You can't use your everyday conceptions to predict quantum stuff. The usual objective picture is in large part a predictive tool. So there is a confli...

Could be. But are you telling me what my experience has been instead of asking me? To ask requires dwelling in a state of unknowing. I think ideal sci...

The Little Ice Age doesn't prove that humans didn't wipe out the massive herds of bison that once spanned much of North America. It only provides an a...

Cool. Repetition of that research would be next, followed by attempts to apply the knowledge to the world of the 22nd century.

In possible world semantics necessarily true and false reduces to true or false in every possible world. The modalist denies this and holds that modal...

I just meant knowledge of modality where we're talking about modes of truth.

The idea is to dispense with possible world semantics. It serves no purpose. There's an argument that possibility of P is entailed by actuality of P. ...

If you're anti-realist about physical law, you're probably anti-realist about modality in general. IOW, it's hard to imagine you never speak in terms ...

:up: Physical possibility is what's possible given the laws of physics. Since some metaphysical possible worlds contain a god who can do anything that...

Yes. P is true at some logically and metaphysically possible worlds. It's also true at some L and M impossible worlds. The point being: we might imagi...
