I think it's a poem.

They do, but this was the platform Trump ran under. Elections have consequences. It is the will of the people.

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...

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 ...

I remember before they marketed water and it was delivered by a garden hose. No one even knew then there were varieties of water.
June 10, 2025 at 09:36
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 didn't suggest otherwise.

Won't be the best first time, but I'll do a deeper dive into this and see what I come up with.

There's also a thread for that: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/15870/climate-change

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...
June 09, 2025 at 19:20
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...

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...
June 09, 2025 at 12:34
You list out objective criteria for determining morality: (1) negotiation, (2) persuasion, (3) search for common ground, (4) avoidance of anarchy, (5)...
June 09, 2025 at 12:15
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...

Don't want to clutter with cut and paste, but let me know if this won't open.

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...

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...

I was in Porto and they drink Porto wine, which translates into Port wine in American. They add the O for some reason.

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...

Interesting to learn one needn't breach a barrel of fun to extract the joy from within, but simply gathering about the barrel is sufficient.
