There is a statute of limitations in criminal cases that will toll only if the person concealed their illegal status, which can result in the time lim...
The problem is that the US has immigration law and immigration policy and the two aren't uniform. The law is clear, and it does not allow those that m...
There's a park near my office that is a preserved farm from before urban sprawl, reminding me of simpler times. I think I'd have done better then, alt...
I think they're going to put my cat on thyroid meds. She has a neck goiter and is losing weight. That's a common thing with old cats. They can also nu...
You thought they were irrelevant only because you've never suffered the misery of dust finding its way into your eye. What we'd all give for just one ...
The point of the question is whether there are objective, universal rules that have to be applied in order to determine morality. It's not relevant wh...
I start with the goal of increasing suffering. Why choose yours? I'll answer that question. Because my goal is immoral. Of course it involves objectiv...
This is my problem: “If a lion could talk, we could not understand him.” -- Philosophical Investigations §223 “To imagine a language means to imagine ...
I would like to hear the police account. It looked like the protestors were in another area and there were other people walking near the reporter, so ...
But how do you know you weren't manipulated by the marketing machine or by social pressures cast upon the young impressionable Bittercrank? The candy ...
I think it's contrived in order to avoid metaphysical converations that don't yield answers. It strikes me as a prescriptive use of the term "language...
But this commentary leaves the confines of your Wittgensteinian box. "Qualia" has meaning. It's meaning is how it is used within the language game. Yo...
@"javi2541997" I'm not much of a soccer fan, but I did see where Spain lost to Portugal yesterday in free kicks while I was eating my chicken wings. I...
I would think if you were to delete all your posts, you would do it consistent with your style and cross through them all. A joke, my friend. Glad you...
So I'll respond to the greater Wittgenstenian allusion here, which if Davidson is following (and you know better than me), we end up with a profound s...
You list out objective criteria for determining morality: (1) negotiation, (2) persuasion, (3) search for common ground, (4) avoidance of anarchy, (5)...
I took though Davidson's critique to be that objectivity is universally muddled thinking. If the point he makes is simply that aesthetic judgments in ...
Then upon what basis do you condemn their acts you find abhorrent? You have your preferences and they theirs. Where are your jurisdictional boundaries...
It is wrong to murder. Ice cream tastes good. Two propositions, both with truth values. Do you ask "to whom?" when answering the first, the second, bo...
Thank you for this. I listened to a few repetitions of the word "wired," and then I left to order some shampoo off Amazon, but I'll definitely get bac...
Following up on my theory that all communication is art of varying degrees, I had ChatGpt (hereinafter "Kevin") reduce to a single image our recent Sh...
"Indubitable" summons Descartes, so from Mediations: “I clearly and distinctly perceive that existence is contained in the idea of God, just as clearl...
The examples of these blended beliefs given in the article are: "The following examples point to states which are difficult to characterize given the ...
This is a conflation of terms. Even if we all had the exact same brain states and they all perfectly aligned with the same phenomenonal state upon see...
There's not though. You're overstating the evidence. But you're not relying upon empirical evidence anyway. You're relying upon what you think evoluti...
No it doesn't. At best it shows intersubjective reliability, and unless you assume an unprovable identity theory, you can't claim anything about the c...
So yeah, to the extent the LGBTQ community might find itself in an unprincipled alignment with Hamas, I still don't know I'm ready to jump aboard your...
Yes, strange bedfellows. And that's another thing. A bedfellow, as if there were a time when you had a fellow you just shared a bed with, neither roma...
Certainly once the barrel is breached and the monkeys are so emancipated, it is expected they would spend the first few moments collecting their thoug...
It's weird because when things are on my TV in other languages, usually it writes the English at the bottom, but this time that didn't happen. Maybe y...
I feel like if you don't read every page, then you can't honestly say you read the book. That includes the acknowledgments page, but that's typically ...
