Hanover

There is no disadvantage in receiving an education, and the old adage you ought to stay in school is accurate, despite the disagreement by those typic...

And yet I think the same of you. And this isn't meant just as a backatcha retort, but truly a failure to accept very basic notions and an odd resisten...

Amazing version I stumbled across: https://youtu.be/K2p84Xdx8ck May your hands always be busy May your feet always be swift May you have a strong foun...

And so the public verifiability advantage only applies where the public's recollection is superior to the guy with the best recollection? How prevalen...

Super.

The vitriol and indignation are generally unhelpful. Human rights, whatever they may be, are dependant upon circumstances. You have the right to live ...

I suppose the shared referent distiction is relevant for this analysis because it offers verification of consistent use over time whereas internal bel...

It's the McEnroe question. Do people want to watch tennis or just some maniac screaming? At first, the maniac, but eventually just tennis. If not, the...

I think he was being complimentary.

The universe revolves around me, so should I not exist, it'd stop revolving. Yes, a revolving universe. That's what I said.

You see this as a good thing or bad? Real question.

But how does this observation contradict what I've said?

And so it's your position that the founding of Israel was motivated by a desire to foist Jewish dominance on the world as opposed to saving an ancient...

I think there is. You can be anti-Israel and pro-Jewish. Logically, sure.

This view is just a basic recitation of indirect realism, and it's correct. Making a claim about what truly exists outside of your interpretation is i...

I'm no fan of calling people racist to end discussion, but that occurs in all sorts of settings. It's a worn out battle cry here in the US, recited of...

Consider what is being said about Israel as the result of a 16 (now 17) year old child for striking an officer. She was no stranger to intentional pro...

Suppose our collective use of a term changes over time and we don't notice it to where we now mean dog when we used to mean cat and all our old books ...

They share their observation of the film, but you're committed to the idea that a Vietnam vet's experience of watching a film reminding him of the hor...

It is incoherent to ask for a description of a rock without reference to your subjective interpretation of it. That is, I can't distunguish for you th...

Your experience is a single event, tied together by all sorts of things, like sensations, beliefs, emotions, and it occurs all at once. Let us suppose...

A belief is an experience and I suppose there are differing sorts of experiences. Me seeing the computer screen before me is one, but it is accompanie...

My reference to Australia was not to suggest that since the Australians violate civil rights, it's hypocritical for the Australian presenter to condem...

No, it's just like Bambi, but without the scary scenes.

My thought is that the problem with your post in the Shoutbox is likely what you intended to avoid by placing it in the Shoutbox. I get that you feare...

But here you're agreeing with me, so either you've shifted or we've talked past each other. A claim of irrelevance simply claims that the issue is uni...

Your attempt here is to catagorize qualia, and I'm just resistent to it because it's not how the internal state works. I don't just experience a bird ...

So this means no pic for my cellar?

If I never had the present moment phenomenal state (State 1), then I could never be said to have believed that I lived in Georgia. It is required that...

I've not argued idealism. I've just insisted there are phenomenal states, a claim you seem to deny.

Sure, you can go back and compare your current house to some old paint samples you kept in your basement to see if it faded, unless of course the samp...

Ok, I'll try again. I'm currently thinking about my belief that I live in the state of Georgia. We'll call this Phenomenal State 1. I'm sitting around...

It exists in a different sense when I am thinking about than when I'm not, but to the extent the same data and rationality exists over time that cause...

My belief is a phenomenal state I suppose. Believing there's a beetle under the porch differs from seeing the beetle.

It shouldn't be funny that two genetically similar beings arive at the same phenomenal states in response to the same external stimuli. That is assume...

Suppose the paint on your house fades over time yet you do not notice? In what sense can the paint be said to be the very same over time?

And suppose this empirical declaration is wrong? This really isn't philosophy anymore. It's just a strange claim about how people learn. I do in fact ...

We both have phenomenal states. I experience mine, you yours. How the beetle looks without reference to how it looks to someone is incoherent.

Of course we'd have a basis for claiming that we were using the words to refer to the same things. I'd see that when I saw a beetle run by, you would ...

Oh that Hanover with his Hanoverisms! Just priceless!

Oh, you can be critical. I don't care. There are cleanliness issues with women that many would find offensive. Men and women cannot sleep in the same ...

Dunking in water is a ritualistic process practiced by most Judeo-Christian religions.

Men go into the Mikvah upon conversion as well.

I use DOS 1.3

Maybe you now spell all words correctly. Have you recently been hit on the head? I actually get spell check on my home and work computers, but not my ...

Leviticus 11:29: "Of the animals that move along the ground, these are unclean for you: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard, the gecko, the ...

According to Rabbi Hanoverstein ben Punkinsky of Lubuvitch, the grill can be made kosher by subjecting it to the direct heat of a blow torch until it ...

If not too much to ask, can I get a pic of the fairy floss nest moustache you'll have from eating the cupcake? I want to hang it on my bulletin board ...

I know what you do in Ireland. You drink, eat potatoes, fuck sheep, and then drink some more. Everyone knows that. Everyone. That's why the English ga...
