So, what part is untrue? Not employing reason, does not negate the fact that we exist through natural processes, and have developed reason, as opposed...

Because it's actually just a symbolic term we've ascribed to the objective phenomenon of accruing data, and using that data to refine our behaviors. T...

You aren't using her clearly stated definition of selfishness, this is what she means: rational selfishness—which means: the values required for man’s...

Hope. Now, that's the true mirage. Which you know, intuitively.

I have elected myself as "willing to debate all of you," on this subject. As it happens, Rand is among the many I have a wealth of knowledge on and I'...

Because I observed it through multiple data streams across time. The moment you introduce a scenarion like this, you are taking the person out of the ...

How will you know if I will, unless I do?

Because I conceptualized it, built it, and tested it for the standards I wished to build it with, namely telescope features. What if it was just a mir...

This is true, I only hate Farraday. Guy wasn't even a real scientist.... Now this is how this is gonna go down: You and I, and ayone else who wants to...

No, empiricism doesn't need validation, it is itself the validation process. Used when one needs only to employ it as a concept in a pursuit of a goal...

Don't be such a baby, I was just trying to piss off what's his face. Nobody is the "premier" philosopher. But, this whole "she wasn't a philosopher" b...

Yeah, you know this specific topic in Kant I thought I might be able to pull off, but it's been kind of done and dusted for a while. The only thing I ...

Bingo. That's where stuff gets fun. That being because, such standards come from abstractions, which come from data accrued. Meaning, standards, measu...

hehaha! :rofl: I'm not kidding when I say that this is what my brain responds with in essence with people who deny reality in any way. It's confoundin...

Well, if you really think about it, there's not anything that you ever do for your entire life that doesn't fall into the realm of action. You could b...

Yeah, I mean it's clear you cannot contend with empiricism and materialism. It's not that I think as much, I'm quite literally watching you run away f...

Of course. Where else would I turn? Has any other system produced actionable knowledge?

She's the world's premier philosopher. And you are disengaging because your position has been defeated. And for some reason, even though you were just...

The brain accrues sensory data of the world in manner of complexity so sophisticated that we can't comprehend it. It sends that data through recurrent...

This isn't an argument. This is a reduction fallacy, an ad hominem fallacy, and an appeal to stone fallacy all at once.... In response to basic facts....

No, it implies you lack the capacity to accurately describe what you are attempting to, which would imply that you're talking about something. Nobody ...

Typo: dark side

Why, no one, of course. The heavens and life have not asserted themselves as needing such a creator. And who are we to conclude any creator could craf...

Marx is not only the most influential philosopher of the of the past two centuries, he is the person who first fully understood and posited the idea o...

You would pull the geometry out first go. Alright, let's go. So then, what you'll have to do is describe how someone would concluded such a fact, more...

No problem, Fact: a thing that is known or proved to be true. Physical: relating to physics or the operation of natural forces generally. Together the...

Matter is the substance of which all physical objects are composed. The density of matter is the ratio of its mass to volume and is a measure of the c...

Objective : not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts. Material: denoting or consisting of physical object...

Reality is objective and material, and there's nothing any of you can do about it.

Whose controlling that subversive attack, you think? Any monopolies come to mind?

However, this is totally inaccurate. "Capitalism" is neither a system, nor anything in practice. To explain: Capitalism: an economic and political sys...

Gotta say, Wayfarer. Just about everything I've read from you has been insufferably non-objective. But, this is the singular best bit of absolute prec...

I don't know what any of this means. Science, as per basic philosophical understanding, is never to be dismissed and should inform one's philosophical...

Paid for by money extored from individual laborers by a government who kills people every day. Paid for by money extored from individual laborers by a...

Nothing I said was political. There's nothing about having rules for co-existence within a given domain of space that implies an institutional monopol...

No, it teaches you that you perceive a confusion. My normative analysis comes from the fact that all concepts are generated by the brain to orient beh...

Yes, in the sense of some sort of observation. I can distinguish between my own rational thoughts that I employ to inform action, as opposed to emotio...

That's why I led with that. In this analogy, it is the people of one Kuhnesque paradigm of language (traditional male/female biology and norms) being ...

Honestly, I may take you up on that sometime, because I've had a recent resurgence of oppositional emotion toward religion, to the point of hostility ...

It could be, Joshs. But, the problem there is, "emptiness" is itself an emotionally valenced concept. Which would imply a pre-dedicated group of descr...

I can't read this. Clear this up for me? No, I equated it with the source, the generator. Not the seat. Seats are inanimate objects, not systems of li...

Then you would see how such advice doesn't apply to my research-based analysis above. Will keep that in mind, I thought I'd tried that before.

I advice you two...

Beautifully stated, and such is exactly why I highlighted regression toward the mean. It isn't really proper to say "homeostasis" in regards to system...

I didn't say they did, I never even implied. Look man, I'm not these mystic chumps on this website, dude. If you're going to engage with me on here, I...

The proper term is tabula rasa, and only psychopaths themselves, or people totally ignorant, would say something so utterly fucking stupid. Humans are...

You didn't take time to highlight the NOT absolute category. Let's try this argument again, this time include the NOT part. I have no place in this an...

For future reference, may simply elaborate your point to me, and I'll address it. My positions are not lightly concluded, and rely heavily on research...

Yes, that's why you have to watch out for reduction fallacies, which delimit the meaning of a word in the argument. Ambiguity fallaicies, which employ...

As far as what all of the current data suggests, which is a vast payload, yes. Not a single scrap of evidence exists to suggest otherwise, and no numb...
