I see what you mean now. I really do. You were asking "What the hell are you talking about? You're starting in mid-conversation." I took your question...
Probably this is partially true, but it's also probably true that I treated the Shoutbox like everyone was shouting, which means whatever I said to yo...
Maybe put it into a direct question what you're looking that I better respond to. Our exchange has been very limited on this, and my general position ...
Would this suggest that there are differing rationalities (as in differing types of rational ways of thinking) that could yield conflicting results, y...
I really wasn't trying to be cryptic. Organizing a system of philosophy around the irrelevance of the metaphysical doesn't seem like philosophy to me....
How do you apply a truth value to an event? The proposition "Your mama has green hair" has a truth value, in that it is either true or false. If your ...
You are slipping down the slope of idealism, a place where I might just be a figment of your imagination. I know you're not just a figment of my imagi...
I totes get being bitched slapped by reality offers a certain understanding otherwise not afforded the coddled, so that's well taken, but the centrali...
I see them as very different. The tides are constantly ebbing and flowing so from T-1 to T-100 there are perhaps billiions of variations. However at T...
I suppose you're right on the Pluto detail, so let me stipulate the facts better to force the question I'm asking, which you pretty much answered anyw...
If knowledge is a justified true belief, then a belief that is untrue would not be knowledge by definition. Rapidly changing information isn't what Cl...
So you told me facts were provisional agreements, and I objected on the basis that such definition permitted untrue facts, which resulted in nonsense....
I wasn't defining knowledge. I was extrapolating the consequences of your definition of "facts," which you don't ground in truth, and so that allows f...
If we know truth is hidden, we know there is truth. As Pascal said, "You would not be seeking Me if you had not already found Me." Does Adorno say the...
Do you deny metaphysical underpinnings, or just mean truth is inaccessible? Your previous post didn't deny truth. It just distinguished it from facts,...
Is this a modal logic question, as in ?P = "Necessarily P" vs. ?P = "Possibly P" As in, it is necessarily true in all possible worlds that some moral ...
I'm working on a theory that argues that if the metaphysical is inaccessible by any philosophical means, whether it suffers the Wittgensteinian fate o...
Your opinion is that I should bring forth a pig to a police officer for his observation and that the result will be his rejocing? I question your advi...
How does "which refers to the world" modify your sentence? Do you not define "the world" as "anything and everything," or are you taking "the world" t...
And so was it a fact that Pluto was a planet and now it's a fact that it's not? Or was it thought to be a fact Pluto was a planet and then it was disc...
There aren't many jobs that don't place a premium on the completion of specific tasks, so it's hard to find a job where you can just think things thro...
The distinction is between discriptive language and prescriptive, where we consider it pedantic to require, for example, that no sentence end in a pre...
The problem with forced linguistic change for political aims is at least two-fold: (1) it violates the typical organic way language evolves through us...
No. Like when they say, "Sir, can I please see your driver's license?," I always get confused and think they mean they want me to play with their gun....
@"Baden" Isn't this the Frankfurt school response, meaning we should impose ways to disrupt the capitalist takeover of technology for its malevolent p...
Someone who self-identifies as non-binary is strongly left with regard to whatever trait he's describing. That is the connotation of that word. If you...
Have you considered working with pigs? I suspect there are opportunities, particularly for someone with such a niche passion. Obviously not a farm, bu...
One who sincerely identifies as politically non-binary doesn't alert me to any uncertainty as to his social views, as if that person bounces between t...
I was at my company picnic, and the organizer thought it would be entertaining for the partners of the firm (which includes me) to line up to have wat...
Positing a final goal isn't less logical than positing a first cause. All events follow the first cause, yet we can't have a first cause without a pre...
I feel like if you're mixing the egg salad, the tuna salad, and the potato salad, you're just stretching out the picnic leftovers. You then need to gi...
If I assemble architects, framers, plumbers, carpenters, landscapers, etc to build me a house, can we not say the teleos of the enterprise is to erect...
I look upon those poolside with their mango infused intoxicants foresaken by the Almighty from the heroic suffering bestowed upon me, who insists upon...
I would add the shoes show an authentic non-conformity that has since eroded, where American individualism is now displayed as obedience to custom. Th...
Thoughts on the new red shoes? They remain untied as part of the hip design and the uppers are 100% wool. I came upon them while searching for wool sh...
I think its uncontroversial that political views appear on a spectrum and that most people's views vary over their lifetime and are not even fully con...
The term "non-binary" is borrowed from gender orientation discussions, which creates a liberal connotation, meaning anyone who claims to be non-binary...
