Is AI just a Wittgensteinian language game devoid of meaning, proving that he's right and that he's wrong. Right in the sense that use is all we need ...
Perhaps this quote makes the point that meaning and utility are not the same: “Man of the twentieth century is proud of his practical achievements, of...
I suspect not so long ago, nostalgia wasn't what it is today, the past can now be made so present with photos, videos, documents, recordings. We evolv...
/uploads/resized/files/qp/we27wgktngzkuz3o.png Turns out the Pied Piper was giving Jerry Seinfeld a root canal while Poe's raven flew overhead. Seems ...
Fair enough, although those far away "I just murdered and ate the neighbors" AI eyes might undo that obsession. But do let me know if you want me to p...
Alright, I had it pan to the right, and next to you is Brooke Shields in a soccer uniform playing the banjo. I have no idea what sort of absurdist sur...
I am to understand that despite a photograph of you with a Belgian waffle in your mouth, and despite a very stern referee chastising you, you still de...
Understanding occurs. It's within the mystical parameters of consciousness which AI lacks yet seems to outperform us on. I don't demand language for c...
Equating cognitive grasp of propositions to an experiential event necessarily eliminates any non-empirically based propositions, with the obvious exam...
Started Kripke's Naming and Necessity. I appreciate the preface begins on page 1. Often prefaces start with i then ii, then iii and so on and you have...
Do you take the assessment of the truth value of a proposition as knowing-how knowledge, equivalent to juggling balls? Seems evaluating statements req...
You try to speak with an air of unquestionable authority, yet @"BC" says otherwise, having advanced knowledge of the origins of exquisite foodstuffs, ...
I've never eaten a rabbit. I had a thought to write some children's books called Rabbi Rabbit wears a Habit. It's a fun tale of an ordained rabbit rab...
That sounds responsive to the question "Hey, Clarky what do you normally do, and what are your thoughts on the word "justified?" But that's not what I...
I dreamt my clothes were covered in velcro and I would cling to people throughout my day, some delighted to have my company, others inconvenienced by ...
I wanted another dessert, so I ctrl-c, then ctrl-v. I accidentally threw away my fork, but ctrl-z brought it back. Didn't like my curtains, so I did a...
The article you cited leads with the following sentence: "Sex differences in psychology are differences in the mental functions and behaviors of the s...
So we have two things: A = justified true belief B = justified belief You propose we assign the word "knowledge" to B ( instead of to A). What word do...
This actually seems to be occurring now. For some reason Fox News and the right have a sudden obsession with UFOs. I tend to think the claims more bul...
I bathe in the soap of freedom, its lather spilling past my belly, emancipating my body and spirit of the stench of enslavement, my fetters slipping o...
There are two bases I can decipher for why I would want to create an amoral system: (1) the imposition of morality within a system is immoral in itsel...
I drink tea with every meal. Hot tea in the morning and iced tea on all other occasions. I could not fathom otherwise. Get a lot of work done that day...
I had not thought about it before, but another thing that divides the great Western lands of America and Europe is America's never ending efforts at m...
It's the peach state after all. You'd expect to see an orange in Florida. The peach is standard issue, but you can order all sorts of specialty ones i...
When I was a kid, they didn't have cell phones yet and you had to call people through a conch. Everyone had a car conch and they'd get distracted usin...
I appreciate that this is a hypothetical, so it's not entirely right to question the premises that you've asserted as given, but we do need to conside...
I predict AI will result in the re-enchantment of the world, responsive to the revelation of the inadequacy of technology, now in such magnificent for...
Did you know that the female poppy plant is called the mommy? Yeah, it's the stupidest dad joke (literally) of all time, but you laughed, so there's t...
The shit was shipped in from overseas. Company is called Shipt Shit, LLC. Opiod users use the service because they miss shitting. There's a market for...
Alright, my fuller version: We grow fresh our own poppy seeds and make a tangy morphine butter we slather on our toast for breakfast. The power and pl...
We grow fresh our own poppy seeds and make a tangy morphine butter we slather on our toast for breakfast. The power and plumbing have since been turne...
Growing up, bagel rigidity was expected, but things are more fluid now, particularly in the cities and among the young. You'll find greater acceptance...
I wasn't arguing that Positivism meets the claim of a scientific theory in fact. I was saying it could in theory. This is a distinction between necess...
I'd suggest, from what you've written, that positivism does not fail under the Popper revision of falsifiability you've described. In other words, I f...
