The Okefenokee is a deep black from the tannic acid from the vegetative decay. There the feral swamp people live, raised by gators on a diet of crawda...
Alright, one more time on this rule. If Who's on first and What's on second, and even if Nobody is on third, and then I'm Not Sure hits a fly ball in ...
It is in fact a word and it describes a particular belief system limited to a single rule: "You are permitted to accept a heart pig transplant, but yo...
I think people worry about all sorts of doubts, like whether the surgery will work, whether the job will remain, whether the relationship will continu...
This is why you should opt for goats. Goats only eat salad. No matter how hungry a goat gets, it's just going to look for grass and leaves. On the oth...
In Hanoveria we had no gray, only black and white, and red when we bled. That's the only time we saw red. Mary Queen of Scots had a room where she nev...
A critical distinction was that the map of the US didn't include Alaska or Hawaii in your classroom. Another distinguishing detail is that in the 50s ...
This is an absurd re-writing of history, as if there were a time in the past when rigid bright lines divided the family and society, where only throug...
Oh please. The EU fears US sanctions more than the US fears the EU. Trump, despite his many many many flaws is dovish, if for no other reason than he'...
If you're looking for a deep religious reason for why no vowels in the OT, see: https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/3087993/jewish/Why-No-V...
Not just modern Hebrew, but the vowel marks have been in existence for over a 1,000 years. For example, the word for dog is (spelled right to left) "?...
I saw a dog beside a child outside a store and asked if his dog would bite. He said he wouldn't. I pet the dog and he bit me. "You said your dog would...
An atheist can be as or even more concerned about the future of humanity as a theist. Focusing on the here and now can also be the interest of the the...
As to the OP, being anti-work isn't wrong if all you mean is you gripe about work. Hearing people gripe is annoying and I"d rather see you figure a wa...
Some people are self-sabotaging, suicidal, and are terrible stewards of their lives and all that is important to them. They don't always do this think...
A vague proposition that is so vague that it doesn't have a truth value isn't a proposition. A propositional statement is defined as a statement with ...
How do you know that your memories and consciousness aren't also in flux? That you believe you have maintained a constant experience of your conscious...
We do have strict criteria, which is why we can use the term meaningfully. Only when we use the term in a way previously unintended do we run into the...
If we can't agree as to what is a ship, why can we agree as to what is material and to what is functionality? Are holustic objects the only thing we c...
A statement with 2 truth values is 2 statements. "The ship that left is the ship that returned" is true if we define "ship" in terms of functionality....
This isn't a rejection of bivalence. This is just pointing out certain words are vague. If the law were only old people are allowed to enter and old i...
It has but one truth value unless you've got an equivocation fallacy. "Ship" must vary in meaning in order for "the Ship is X" to be true and false in...
Provide an example of a statement that is both true and false. Are you saying within exact contexts and with exact definitions the same statement can ...
If your point is that there is minimal practical import to the questions posed in this thread, I think it's obvious that most navigate the world succe...
This raises an interesting point to @"Michael"'s claim. If we replaced each plank one at a time, but with planks dissimilar enough from the original t...
There is a belief among ultra-religious Jews that the name of a person defines the person in a particular way. I suppose this comes from the fact that...
I miss your point. I've not argued for naive realism. It was very far from it. I argued for reality mediated by perceptions, with an assertion there w...
The realist does commit as you've said they would (and as I've bolded). The realist defines the ship as the specific matter that was there originally ...
This is consistent with my comment to @"Banno", which was was: Maybe my point was missed or not well stated, but it asks how does reality restrict any...
Whatever of the same returns is what returns. If a single atom of the old boat returns, then we have a single atom of the old boat. Whether you wish t...
That we split the world into arbitrarily assigned objects doesn't challenge the fact that there is external existence. Any object and any particle the...
Existence is not an attribute or property of an object. To say an object exists is different from saying an object has certain properties. Pluto exist...
In the event of a prolonged shut down, Defcon 1 would be declared and TPF would execute its Emergency Readiness Protocol. Rest assured, the mods and a...
