What does it matter what the answer is? Who cares? You are saying passion is not needed to solve the equation, knowledge of the rules and order of ope...
I think because, in part, the definition is slippery and differs between groups. Even the vegan, bicycle riding minimalist in the West will have diffe...
What is the difference between bacteria and humans when it comes to "finding new ways" to increase populations? There is a loooong bacterial history, ...
I was not trying to present it as inevitable, just from a synthesis of my own study on the issue - this is what is most probable (in my opinion). The ...
https://www.census.gov/popclock/ Most arguments for or against the problem revolve around physical and material variables. There is not (usually) an a...
I'll be the unpopular poster here, but, a rebuttal... As with most diagnostic approaches to the ills of modernity and/or the human condition, this rea...
The laconic version is better, thank you. I presented a poor argument for a contradiction using the square. If we hold this true: 1) All causal infere...
No, it does not mean that. Here's why - 1. The conclusion "We can't know for sure." was arrived at using a mathematical method of investigation which ...
Forgive me for saying so, but that's pretty arrogant and spoken with authority that you haven't earned yourself, especially if you do not share knowle...
Personally, I think this sentence sums up the confusion perfectly. Logic is reified into "something" as a class itself, then applied to another class ...
I can tell you it does from personal experience, as well as that of others in my immediate circles, that the pay gap exists. You can call it anecdotal...
Your moniker is well-fitted (friendly tease). A reality that is "well-obscured", but nevertheless still "clearer" is a condition indeed. That acknowle...
This topic seems to be making the rounds on various sites after the Peterson interview. Popping up in a lot of places (good!). A quote from Salmon Rus...
Two articles on the topic (of which the "right to not be offended" is a branch) as a phenomenon on some US college campuses. On "microaggressions" "Mi...
My progression was only a proposed logical one of speech to offense to suppression of speech, not existing (or proposed) Canadian or US law. Agreed an...
Yes, however the two are not unlinked. If someone has a "right" to something, that legally entails protections of that "right" by the state, up to and...
Socrates would be one of those who might ask "What is science?" in order to bring us to "What is not science?" Seems VERY relevant to me and possibly ...
Cited are guidelines which uphold the "respectful and moderate tone...may express yourself strongly as long as it doesn't disrupt a thread or degenera...
This was touched on in an interview on Channel 4 between Jordan Peterson and a presenter armed with the litany of PoMo and "studies" lines of loaded q...
If we look at the definition of "violence" I think that, actually, it is correct. Violence: noun 1. swift and intense force: the violence of a storm. ...
I would shorten that to "the content of belief is propositional." since how the proposition is expressed - symbolic, spoken, or thought - are only the...
I am not a fan of being told what to think. Personally, I think Reality is the greatest thing I can think of. Whether or not that includes a god remai...
Can you help me understand what is meant by a "right" here? What does it mean that I have a "right" to life? Also, what is "death" here in the relatio...
Do you think there was electoral fraud? Are the people using this event as a definitive bracket to protest any or all other conditions present? Is the...
It is definitely a constraint in any interpretation. But there are others, I believe. Like the properties that define the group (s): cohesiveness, com...
Hmmm. How does that square with this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_1945%E2%80%9389 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_1990%E2%80...
That is a metaphysical claim that can at least be doubted with current evidence. At what is currently thought as the "most basic level", quantum mecha...
That claim can be doubted...with evidence to turn doubt into actual negation. Psychological evidence, neurological evidence, evidence from behavioural...
If you are quoting Pinker's approach, I believe professional anthropology has a more accurate answer to that "simple statistic". https://www.sapiens.o...
Interesting point, I can see how that is perceived, however I think the application of the other versions (as well as the vagueness approach) still ho...
Hi - appreciate your post, thank you. I wanted to touch on these parts of your piece. Perhaps the rest of my potential postings need the context. I do...
Agreed that it is very subtle and nuanced position. From my experience and learning in the philosophy it is very similar to what I wrote about the con...
In order to come to an understanding that god exists, there must have been a prior time where you did not have an understanding that god exists, hence...
Hi, I am an Uneducated Pleb. I used to think philosophy was garbage and dreamt up by and for folks who couldn't actually do anything useful. Then I fo...
