It does remain a real question though where AI obtains its underlying facts and reasoning abilities. Each of us contributes to some degree, and I'd li...
Even assuming you've accurately described humanity's educational odyssey from the cave until today in those few paragraphs and you've deciphered with ...
My thought is that this is an attempt to justify Christianity upon rationality alone without reliance upon revelation, perhaps because you believe rat...
ChatGPT tells me you can tell it which sites to pull from and which to ignore. I've turned off the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and prioritized...
Speaking of which, I just started a book called This is Ear Hustle. It's a prisoner's account of life in prison. I've gotten through thy first part th...
Perhaps try: "We have apparently reached an impasse because you're an idiot. I wish things were different." I think that might be appreciated. I think...
I'm fully supportive of the social sciences being considered actual sciences and I don't take the position of the engineering types (Clarky excluded) ...
I think we can admit that the scientific method is one of a number of possible hermeneutics without having to resolve the objective/subjective questio...
It could be just that there were multiple versions of the various stories and a desire to create a single consistent story was of less priority to the...
It's "Hermeneutics: A Very Short Introduction" by Jens Zimmermann. It's in the "Very Short Introduction" series. It provides sufficient expertise to d...
It would seem @"T Clark" being from Massachusetts should know something about Plymouth Rock chickens since they've lived near his family since strutti...
There's a chicken breeder near me who breeds all different kinds and my wife just picked one out. We've had a bunch of different kinds over the years,...
I'm actually picking up 6 chickens today. They're 6 weeks old, so big enough to live outside in the coop. We gave our last few to the neighbors a whil...
How might a computer recognize a cat? Surely differently than humans, but is the code, whatever it might be, the best definition of a cat? I'd suspect...
They do and they don't, both good and bad. There are those families caught in cycles of poverty, poor education, and violence, and others with long te...
Fascinating stuff. I see that Han argues protection against this encroachment against our humanity is engagement in communal ritual. While not advocat...
The article indicated the decision was reached after bitter internal debate within the anthropology community over methodological disputes. It was not...
"Anthropologists have been thrown into turmoil about the nature and future of their profession after a decision by the American Anthropological Associ...
The issue isn't that we're in the gray zone, debating the edges where the scientific method begins and ends. Anthropology admits it is not scientific ...
I actually wanted an example to understand what you were talking about. In any event, I don't see how there can be scientific and unscientific branche...
What does this even mean? I gather up 5,000 definitions of "dog" and I add them together and divide by 5,000? How do you add definitions and divide th...
So give me an example. We have justice (seems a good loaded example). Offer me your GA analysis of what justice is. Are we engaged in hermeneutics, ph...
I'm not suggesting the social sciences are not sciences because they aren't reducible to the hard sciences. My objection is any enterprise that sugges...
That article challenges that. The official decision of the American Anthropological Association was to remove "science" from its mission statement. "A...
I see there is a debate within anthropology as to whether to make it a science or an interpretive scheme, with the interpretive scheme folks having ga...
Don't call it "anthroplogy" if you have no desire to treat it as a science. If it's just a heuristic unsupportable in principle as a way to consider h...
It's coming to Broadway next month with Keanu Reeves. I hear the music score and dancing are amazing.. First sentence is true. Second, not so much. I'...
My limited research on it shows a small but loyal following, but it mostly serves as philosophically thought provoking as opposed to it being scientif...
This poll says only 12% of the population was offended by the Sweeney ad. https://nypost.com/2025/08/12/business/12-find-sydney-sweeney-american-eagle...
Really, you believe that she was describing the collapse of Western civilization's reliance upon a foundational diety and challenge of finding a suita...
Sure, personal change is often forged in trauma, and maybe yours was, and possibly yours is a story of overcoming great adversity, and maybe I'm a dic...
My point is simply that this is a philosophy forum, so what difference does it make philosophically whether your mom used religion to build a horribly...
Doesn't the word "Therapy" work better in that sentence than "Philosophy." What I got out of the post is that she suffers from religion trauma, a thin...
The problem is that your post is just a trauma dump, leaving the only appropriate response to be "sorry you went through that," and then maybe sharing...
