The OP is ambiguous to the extent one wonders if it's asking (1) whether English in particular offers limitations in what it can describe as opposed t...
I read the OP as asking whether there are things we can't describe in the English language and you guys are droning on about how we use language. Can ...
But this doesn't really answer @"Michael"'s question. You're position is based upon a strict fidelity to the principle that the government lacks the l...
I see a distinction between (1) superstition/creationists and (2) anti-vaxxers. Both are anti-scientific, but, as to #1, that deals with the enchantme...
This argument again. Sure, you have the right to bang your head against the wall until you pass out, and in a perfectly constructed libertarian world ...
Why do you create this exception when it comes to vaccines? Must the parents put their children in car seats, allow them transfusions when needed, or ...

You mentioned music, and Pandora just sent me this, from the heavens, or however it found my phone, and I never heard it before, and it blew me away, ...
Some you left off: All in the Family, Soap, Happy Days, the Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Alice, One Day at a Time, Reno 911, Modern Family, the old Davi...
What I can say about Wisconsin is that people from Wisconsin are really proud to be from Wisconsin. Not sure why. They also drink a lot of beer and dr...
There once was a man from Nagasaki Who had a girlfriend from the banks of Milwaukee they went fishing one day but instead had his way and said this Am...
I guess we all bring our own perspectives to the art we encounter, and I admit that my personal belief is that happiness is related to giving to and t...
I know this argument. It's the "I have a right to make bad decisions" argument. People are literally willing to lay down their lives for this right. I...
But truth does have an annoying way of eventually coming out, which will either be when the vaccinated start having all sorts of mysterious symptoms o...
I can't read poems. I get to like the second sentence and then I start skimming, looking for the gist. It's a very sloppy way of writing. I do like ha...
The part you got wrong is that he actually did as he was described to have done or that it is at all relevant whether he actually did as he is said to...

You're saying he couldn't generalize the comment of "no" to mean to do the opposite of what the affirmative comment is? If that's all you're saying, t...
There's a category difference between fact based questions and moral ones, and the inquiry here has been of factual ones (i.e. the effectiveness of va...

For one, the claim was that a dog doesn't know what "no" means. It is an empirical claim, meaning you are asserting a synthetic fact, claiming to know...
Let us assume you are a computer entirely controlled by an algorithm. When you are asked a question, the computer computes, but its algorithm is of un...
Not sure how you know what a dog knows. But anyway, if you take my phone and I say "no," how is your understanding of no different from my dog's in te...
This is the quandary - if you accept that beliefs that are caused are not arrived at by reason, you have no way of knowing whether they happen to also...
And this I disagree with. Choice of opinion is dependent upon all sorts of drivers, perhaps some upon their desire to fit in, others other factors, bu...

My dog thinks "I shouldn't knock over the garbage can, " but then he does, and I can tell from the way he's now under the bed that not only does he kn...
Do you have a dog? My dog definitely understands "no." These are just such odd claims that are empirically false. I remember my philosophy professor e...
If the algorithm of the universe dictates Srap will believe X, it will be so. If you claim your beliefs are from what you read, that will be the case ...
It arose earlier, more along the lines of arguing that the position one assumes in the Covid debate is determined by political alignment/ social ident...
Why do you reject my claim to you that I have complex mental ideas and thoughts without them being reduced to language? I'm sharing with you empirical...
You miss @"180 Proof"'s point. The moral problems associated with hard determinism pale in comparison with the epistemological ones. If HD is assumed ...
