Truth aptness is just about whether P can be true or false. The rain is colorblind. The above statement is not truth apt because it doesn't make any s...

Good. Ignore it then.

P's truth aptness isn't determined by whether we know a way to verify P.

I was just reading about Hegel and his situation with Napoleon. Hegel believed Napoleon was the World Soul, bringing in a new age. A lot of young Germ...

Rudyard Kipling visited Mark Twain once and during the visit, he communicated how much he loved Tom Sawyer. Twain exclaimed, "Oh yea! Tom Sawyer, I'm ...

You mean like out on a street corner? Those laws protect trans people from discrimination based on their trans status. It's illegal to refuse employme...

Both Christians and atheists are protected by the first amendment. People can be as deluded as they want to be. It's none of your business. For the mo...

Ok. I think you're going a little too far, though. There's room on the planet for people who become trans. There's no reason to squash them. Just let ...

The racism that matters is stuff like red-lining. If a particular white person doesn't like blacks, but this doesn't impact my ability to own property...

I didn't comment on how hard life is for anyone. Everyone has challenges. Everyone has advantages. A lot of things come down to mindset.

If a black man can get rich in America, it's not racist in the way that actually matters. You're talking about the way people think. They can think wh...

Wittgenstein pointed out that we can't know the answer, but he admitted that he couldn't resist being pulled back into questions like that. What's dri...

Maybe, but there's nothing you can do about it.

So why do they pull at the same time?

You should conduct a reading of Parmenides. That would be awesome.

You couldn't afford it.

Can't live with them. Can't live without them.

:grin: :up:

Whatever it is, that's what you need to understand Warhol. Warhol becomes a freakin' genius once you get it, that it's about what you experience.

As @"Metaphysician Undercover" recently noted, Plato obliterates his own theory of forms in Parmenides. Do you think you might be attacking a strawman...

Nit picking.

1: You said there's no need to invoke forms to explain what we do. 2: Forms and universals are the same thing 3: You asserted that there's no need to ...

Take a rectangular frame and hold it up so you see the sky through it. You just turned the sky into art.

You can't explain what we do without using universals. Try it.

I usually keep my bullshit to myself.

No, I don't mean that.

Why don't you find one and talk to them about it?

I think you're pretending not to understand what a trans woman is. It's a guy who is living as a woman, with or without surgical and hormonal modifica...

Yes. I disagree that a man can transition to being a woman. A man can transition to being a trans woman. I don't really understand why anyone would de...

It's not a matter of rights. If the public owns the toilet. Access to it is up to the public.

So you're abandoning your whole "everybody has a right to be safe" thing? You're leaving me to pee in front of dwarves even though I don't feel safe?

Prove it.

There are probably more men assaulting women. What are the statistics on men assaulting women in bathrooms?

Is the state supposed to sort out the nature of my fear, and then rule on the dwarf issue?

If I don't feel safe peeing with a dwarf in the room, is the state supposed to do something about that?

I think this explains it pretty well

A crap cake?

Where do you get it?

Witt didn't believe all meaning is in the context of language games (PI 43). That's your outlook.

Did you know you can't drink coca cola at Passover?

That's not an infinite regress.

You can't get there from here.

These are the original ingredients of Coca Cola. The first part is a syrup, and the second part is favoring potion.

Yet everyone on the team anticipates the same moment in time. This is verified by their pulling in unison.

Philosophical systems are myths (though we forget this while they're giving us purpose). When an old myths dies (as Hegel's did), the energy that was ...

You recently went through a portal and ended up in Egypt where you've found yourself employed in a rock moving gang. Everyone pulls their ropes at the...

infinite regress

Not all language use is game playing. If it was, you wouldn't be able to express the idea of a language game.
