One can believe that P is true.. I believe that you think are making a point here, but to me you are lost in a misunderstanding. Perhaps it's the comp...
Perhaps it'll help if I make the variable use of 'I' clearer. One can believe that P is true while in fact not-P is true. One can believe P despite no...
I use endorse this way: to approve openly. In this context, I equate it with repeating or (re)asserting P. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/...
Why not choose a standard religion like most people ? It'd be less lonely. I see that you think you have a case or an argument, but you don't. It's te...
Yes. I say indeed that calling P true is endorsing it, repeating it, asserting it. I think not. You ignore the crucial word 'believe.' To believe P is...
Oh you can still speak English and feel guilty on that island all by yourself. Once the top is set spinning, you can take away that hand that set it g...
They have not one mouth but many. Who decides what the words you used to ask that question mean ? Do you believe there is a single authority ? 'Langua...
The tribe as a whole is the director, if you must embrace a noun to match the verb. Be wary, however, of being dragged by the surface of language into...
Directive is a synonym, yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_(philosophy) Note that I can explain my actions by saying that I'm just following the ...
To say that P is not true is to assert the negation of P , or ~P. Or that's what makes sense to me. (I'm allowing for the possibility of a belief bein...
I would just use the word 'norm.' One ought to avoid contradicting oneself. That's a norm governing reason itself. This norm is so basic that it's may...
Let me jump in. Brandom is updating Hegel who himself was extending/fixing Kant. Humans (largely) no longer experience the norms governing them to be ...
Turing machines are very limited kinds of texts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine I think the experts in the field can be trusted that the...
I was thinking earlier about violence, silence, reasons. Violence and silence are intended to represented two states of communication breakdown. While...
:up: We do have to be careful, though, because observation is theory-laden. At some level of complexity, I think our historicity becomes central. What...
'P is true' does roughly the same thing as 'P'. So yes. Truth is so basic that's there's nothing to say about it, except that there's nothing to say a...
Actually I agree. There's something apparently curiously reactionary in wrapping oneself in the very stereotypes once viewed as oppressive. Progressiv...
To call P true is different than to call P warranted. To call P true is basically to assert P, express belief. While there are many assertions that se...
If I claim that P is true, I am expressing a belief, correct ? What if I said that P is justified, but I still don't think it's true ? I'd be saying t...
As I see it, the hypothesis is something like...truth is primary, like unmitigated assertion. It's as if language was initially too simple for doubt o...
In such a case, I think you'd be justified using 'know,' not only as an expression of certainty but also in the sense I'm suggesting of being prepared...
In general, concepts have public meanings, however imperfectly grasped or exploited by this or that user. I'm suggesting that grammar of 'true,' or at...
What else do you have in mind if not life itself ? We are the semantic computers that we'd like to be able to build out of something else than our own...
The problem is that we are smarter than are machines still. They can crush us at narrowly specified tasks, yes, but we haven't been able to breath lif...
As far as I can tell so far, we should look for concepts in the structure of both our verbal and non-verbal 'doings.' We 'perform' concepts, or rather...
"Because he didn't want to get wet, he put up his umbrella." We can think of the very meaning of 'wet' and 'umbrella' as existing 'within' our allowin...
The space of reasons includes individuals making claims. But what is a self ? Does it make sense without a world, without others, without a language s...
The space of reasons is fundamentally historical, cumulative, and self-referential. The far-out version is something like this: https://www.marxists.o...
I think you have a cartoon of it in mind ? This cartoon is often invoked by mystics or mysterions. Here's one take on the real thing. https://plato.st...
I think we can expect edge cases that aren't convincing. So far I've only met trans people who were clearly embracing stereotypical traits of the of t...
AI has had several heartbreaking winters. The most recent 'thaw' was the success at deep learning at task like translation and image recognition. With...
The book I mentioned shows an awareness of the problem, but this does not mean we will soon have the solution. Can we circumvent or simulate millions ...

:up: No need, in my view, to read a complaint into what's presented as a neutral fact. I don't see why the past wouldn't still be constraining. Indeed...
