I'm going to end the conversation here because you're shifting to an allowance for modal logic, but now asserting just pragmatic irrelevance. I simply...
What of the question: if I'd have missed the train, I'd have never met my future wife. Do you not see how we might wish to assess that claim, despite ...
There was no ambiguity on my part, and no introduction by me of temporal necessity. That was your doing, and I indicated it had no bearing on our conv...
You're just showing the consequences of pure hard determinism. That is, If I would have worn a blue shirt and not the red one I actually wore, I would...
No, you don't agree with the question I posed due to the nature of time because the nature of time has nothing to do with the question i asked. Metaph...
I'm extremely aggressive with AI. That includes even when I ask for directions in my car. ChatGpt apologizes when I tell it t's a fucking moron, but G...
The apostrophe is largely responsible for capitalism in both its possessory function , demanding ownership, and its contractionary function, in demand...
Well, that frames the issue and maybe it's been asked before, but if not, allow me: @"Metaphysician Undercover", do you agree p(x)??p(x) (if something...
Well, here we just must agree to disagree. This is not what. I take as identity. Me in a red shirt is the me in a blue shirt. If you require this sort...
You know that feeling you have when you press a button, like maybe it's on a remote control, on the dishwasher, or maybe even a doorbell? That's how i...
Maybe this will help: It is necessarily true that if someone is a person, then they are a physicist. Einstein is a person. It is necessarily true that...
You know nothing of Waffle House lingo of scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, diced, peppered, capped, topped, or country. I always do scattered, ...
My posts are like contemporary jazz. I sort of learn what they're going to say as they say it, and I never go back and change them, else that would be...
God Damnit! Now you sparked all sorts of other issues. Punctuation cannot just be about rhythm and breathing, but it serves a major organizational fun...
Another thought I had was that of the cantillation mark, which is a form of punctuation I would think, but what I think is that everything is on a con...
So much so I have herniated a disk from whiplash, reading as if listening to heavy metal. I compare your difficulty communicating through your broken ...
Let me help you out. The following philosophers are known for the following punctuation: Nietzsche: ! Socrates: ? Descartes: ? Frege: ? Wittgenstein: ...
Let us speculate as to what they might be. For example, you cried rivers of tears in your latest emoji, but they were sarcastic tears, suggesting you ...
The claim that "I get wet and do not get wet" violates the law of noncontradiction misunderstands how modal logic works. These are not simultaneous tr...
While i haven't always shared in your awe of the punctuation, it is impossible not to get swept away in your excitement, realizing that it's not just ...
Then that's well clarified. I balk though at condemning my Christian brethren who adhere to a theology that includes a belief in eternal punishment un...
Since your gold standard is how one acts and we both advocate for the same acts, what else can you do to sustain the tension between religion and secu...
Then continue your conversation with ChatGPT and ask it for Jewish interpretations that it stands for repudiation of human sacrifice and then have it ...
We don't know who the author was. I look at the interpretation of those who've used the document. I'm not discarding historical analysis. I'm relying ...
Here's my question. If Abraham would have killed Isaac and burned him as an offering to God and that account was consistly interpreted as a prohibitio...
Nuh, instead of worrying about using a book as an excuse for abominations, worry about what folk do. I'm not asking folk to use anything as an excuse ...
I do think the semi-colon says something different. If used correctly, it identifies the sophistication of the author. Other than that, the same can b...
This comment does seem consistent with what I've said regarding all is metaphor in a way because it suggests a hidden underlying meaning that the lang...
It's 1:30 am, Fred panting his 100 lb fool self on me, keeping me awake, scared of the thunder. So you get to deal with my random connections: https:/...
No, no way. Just take a deep breath, go on a long walk, maybe watch a movie. Get your mind off Vologda. You don't want to wake up again with the regre...
Meaning is in your head. Squiggly symbols are the book. Authorial intent is irrelevant. Let us suppose you read a book, used it to form moral analysis...
Interesting, but not surprising. In the earliest passages, it wasn't monotheistic and gods procreated with humans to form monsters, so God wiped out t...
So you could have written the Bible in a way that better represented God, a blown opportunity by the author to have described God as a testing being, ...
That is the formula for figuring out how long 3 goats will clear a field of dandelions in a picture uploaded by @"Jamal". It's a very specific formula...
This reminds me of something I'm working on for work: The law is that you don't have to register a lawnmower in order to own it and drive it, but you'...
They would definately clear that field. Let us assume you provide them no other hay, but you force them to forage entirely, I would say 3 average size...
This is just legalistic stuff, but for what it's worth, retzach is the type of killing forbidden in the Torah. It is not a universal prohibition again...
I'm going to write a book with thick pages, so when you turn them, you think you're turning two pages at a time, and so you must check the page number...
I don't understand this comment. Are you suggesting that ritual sacrifice by wililng participants is ok? Seems like something we would want to elimina...
Alright, I'll set out the basics and tell me where we disagree: The fatalism issue arises in classic logic and is cured by modal logic. As in: Classic...
This conflates two sorts of faith: (1) faith in God's existence and (2) faith in God's guidance. Recall the biblical account. The Israelites were pres...
If you insist that modal logic fails because of its failure to adhere to classical logic standards related to ontological status, then you will be de ...
It's good. It's heavy on Western philosophy which is unusual for a head of an Orthodox yeshiva. It also relies upon biblical metaphor, which gives it ...
David Lewis appears to argue differently than me in my response to @"Metaphysician Undercover" above, where Lewis asserts that modal possibilities are...
