Presumably they did not have just cause in whatever government or employment or union related contracts. Obviously they would have done that if they c...
you've read an argument or made one. Have you checked it enough? such that you can now assume it is sound? (intuition will be involved) Is your sense ...
At the very least it would seem like it depends. Will they later figure out they were manipulated? How important is it that they believe X right now o...
Sure, and for being abuse of power jerks they can take responsibility for their santiy and experiences in prison for a short time, and then likely go ...
They were convicted of harrassing people. Which they did. They were not convicted of causing the suicides. Which would then be some kind of homocide. ...
It is a non-scientific vague term for a goal. Using another phrase for it does not hide information. I see that some people have definitions, again va...
It's more like protected from PR from google. There is scientific fact or research being hidden and people are not being protected from findings, rese...
But it's not science. It's a way of describing a technological advance. To ask if science should be politically correct raises ideas like should peopl...
Actually the assumption in the question is not the case. Large 'objects' are affected by quantum effects. Birds use strange quantum effects to navigat...
I know lidl. The offer a reduced selection because they snatch products they can, at the moment get cheap. They have reduced labor and cut costs every...
Can we ever confidently label something knowledge, by this definition? We can certainly evaluate justifications, but how do we evaluate 'true' if not ...
And to understand phlogistan, in the context of the thread, you need to understand what they knew (and then didn't know at the time). To call it simpl...
I guess I think there's some good intuitive intelligence around questioning the use of resources and use of experts to send people to the moon, right ...
Then I've met a good number of scientific materialists who are insane in philosophy forums. Perhaps you will say they are not really scientific materi...
Right, but I rarely meet the other kind, at least in forums like this one. In fact the scientists I know would probably say they are materialists if c...
Anyone arguing from scientific materialism, however would require it. IOW if a materialist argues that God does not exist because it would entail a du...
I think there is some distrust, yes. But I also think that often what an educated middle class person would call intelligent a lot of Americans don't ...
I appreciate the contextual disclaimer. It seems to me people distrust and trust too much intelligence or what seems to be intelligence. Yes, some peo...
It would be their job to move whatever society they are in towards a Marxist state. If they all leave, then the chances of this go down. And, again, p...
Sure, but then, I was talking about religious societies. Perhaps they misinterpreted the scriptures, but they did this, and those that are this now st...
And a religious society, at least the ones we've had, demand sacrfices of individual will to moral systems determined by scripture and religious autho...
Well, sure they can. They can spend money on vodka and go swimming or they can have consciousness raising meetings. Marxists in Western societies can ...
ve t I get what you mean and I think there are ways they work together, but there are a number of materialisms that are often if not usually couples w...
Just to be fussy, we should make it clear what we mean by materialism, since a philosophical materialist could be an ascetic. One can believe that the...
assuming arguendo? perhaps Those participants can easily just avoid the topic, or join in the thought experiment. Given that it is the assumption, it ...
Which doesn't add up to either you or your friends knowing what is going on in you and has very little to do with knowing what is happening in non-dru...
We can induce people hearing things with drugs also, this doesn't mean when they are hearing things at other times, there is no thing they are hearing...
I said 'fully' separate or someother verb. And we may find that when we decide this was merely a belief, it comes back later as a truth. And what we a...
Well, that was a bunch of posts in a row where you repeat, more or less, your position, but don't really interact with anything I said. I really did u...
1) people often want things that make them unhappy 2) if they weren't choosing from a variety the companies would slowly choose to give them less of o...
I see all lives where the individuals have any choice at all as constant trial and error. They may not deal with the data the way we would wish or con...
The words are trying to describe two categories that, given our fallible in situ, in time, nature we will never be able to fully dimabiguate in practi...
This is not quite an answer to your question, but I would say in practical terms that I choose to have a flexible idea of truth, flexible epistemologi...
I would say they observe and experiment while trying as hard as they can to limit variables and repeat. I don't think they observe and experiment more...
I know it's not what your focus is but this post made me think immediately of mobile phones. I see them as a kind of drug phenomenon, passed off as a ...
And there is a complicated nexus of nerves near the heart. Also one near the gut. The idea that we have gut reactions (with a cognitive content) and h...
Actually I would say that it does seem to be verified to most believers. They experience a presence. They are able to quite drugs. There will be some ...
Again this is the point I was making. Though it is not binary. A belief may work but be in part or nearly all false. Certain kinds of positive thinkin...
Actually sometimes he worked with math and thought experiments and only decades later what he worked out in his mind and on paper was verified empiric...
And again, if we know it is false but it works, it is also not working. Not predicting some outcome, not explaining something. It is not useful in som...
I would guess this is true. But if we know they are false, that means they are not working in some way. They may be working in one way, but not in oth...
But users would have found other ways to do this or shaped their own platforms as they have with other things where the parasites can't come in and ma...
Perhaps, but there's still a difference between a programmer and a taxi driver, probably even in Singapore. For example, Uber drivers are not able to ...
This sounds like you were in a professional field, probably well educated, and your clients are seeing you are more or less an equal, not simply becau...
