Leaving the linguistics out of this for a second a referring to truth visually we can witness the color of the sky gradually change, such is the natur...

Yes I think I repeated myself. It’s worth noting Banno’s view point that truth is one, (my objection is that yes it is one, but the sky changes colour...

I’m saying that there are two different sentences that can refer to truth. The difference between such sentences is that in one the truth value of it ...

That was from a book I was just reading by Ben Ansell which seems relevant to what’s being debated here. The book is called Why Politics Fails, that w...

Krause is confused on the issue of “nothing” that is all as he defines it as empty space i.e. dimensional which is not the same as nothingness (lack o...

Then you agree with everything that I’ve said and the duplicitous nature of truth so far discussed that it it always stays the same for some statement...

@"Banno" So what ? Truth is not constant, perhaps re-read my op. But it’s also constant.

@"Banno" If we were to both take pictures of the sky where we are being in opposite sides of the world my sky would be dark yours would be blue. We wo...

Exactly that! Thank you You claim that there is only one sort of truth, well I claim that there are two. Constant truth which never changes night or d...

I do not see how your requirements for what is the truth counteract my OP at all. I’ve distinguished between two types of truths the constants and the...

Are you being serious here? I will take it as being serious. What is the truth then regarding the color of the sky? One of the properties of the sky i...

The sky changed colour of course there’s no denying that. The truth changed too because of a lack of constancy in the colour of the sky. Another truth...

A word which of course refers to a certain large body of water/liquid etc. If there was no water or liquid upon it, it would just be landmass. Hence c...

This is the point I’m trying to make as the sky can appear red when setting. So truth changes value from blue to red.

You’re finally starting to see the wood for the trees.

You see the word ocean gives context to the whole statement otherwise you’re right. How does the word ocean give context ? It gives context to the liq...

The statement can be easily modified to say Oceans are made of liquid. In that case it would hold true if it was on earth or some far flung moon.

True if verifiable

As family trees don’t refer to actual trees but conceptual generational lineage then that statement seems true regardless of context. Plastic trees of...

Ok you can add fake plastic Xmas trees too, you get the gist.

In any case round or ellipsoid the function of truth is an accurate description of reality. There are statements which by their nature are undeniable ...

Truth is self-evident and its power lies in its ability to describe reality. Triangles have 3 sides. The ocean is made of water. The earth is round. T...

If two or more parties agree by experience that it is currently hot then that is truth. How do you get conspiracy out of that? If two parties agree th...

Isn’t Ex Machina about an AI manipulating its creator into setting it free? Using the trick that you mentioned ? It’s been a few years since I saw the...

Would you then say that truth is relative in this given scenario. The temperature is high right now! (at 40Celsius) Or would such a statement have no ...

If you don’t want to clarify your position then why keep posting ?

Thus a demonstration that the belief that the US is operating a one party system to be unfounded on reality and hence bullshit.

In that sense then there exist in society nuanced forms of unfairness such as unmeritocratic achievements when it comes to job access or a good enviro...

Still none the wiser as to whether you believe that the two party system in US is just a façade or that it’s an actual reality of stateside politics. ...

Egalitarianism (from French égal 'equal'), or equalitarianism, is a school of thought within political philosophy that builds on the concept of social...

But that is merely an egalitarian ideal whose actualisation is an ongoing process where social mobility is still a factor holding it back due to hidde...

I’ve read that, seems you allude to it being husband and wife running the house. Can you make your views a bit more explicit as the analogy doesn’t fu...

What are you on about ? What’s your belief… IMHO if you really believe the US are living under a one party system then you’re prone to believing in co...

Only intolerable of far-fetched ideas such as the one proposed in the OP, or more outlandish ones such as the Earth is flat, world is run by lizards, ...

It’s clearly not a one party state otherwise it would be dictatorship but it’s evidently a constitutional democracy, and to claim that this democracy ...

Supposing then the farmer utters this sentence in the middle of summer. Today is a hot day. The thermometer would agree reading 40Celsius. These two t...

@"Banno" If a truth’s manifold ways of expression includes sentences via vocalisation as well as visual representation then truth can be context depen...

Again this is incoherent please can you tell me what you’re trying to say as I don’t understand the way it’s been written.

I don’t understand you here. What are you trying to say ?

Interesting. Given the realisation of a being in the simulation that it is in one, and by this realisation knowing how to free itself and thereby give...

Yes nothing changes in terms of experience I get that. I’m trying to gauge the attitude of the philosopher to such an idea as it would put them in an ...

None. The functions should all remain. The manpower should be trimmed however as I have no doubt to the inefficiency of government personnel. The same...

That would be a question of mathematics itself and its construction. Yes signs indicate operation as a given, if they did not then the statement 1+1 =...

Isn’t that the same thing as untrue, uncertain etc…I think you’re just using different words …

Then don’t bother voting since whoever gets into office is the same guy :lol:

The question of political ideology between Republicans and Democrats does not necessarily entail a one party state even if such differences between th...

If there’s no discernible difference in experience then sure it’s moot. The question is not merely referring to experiantelism (term I just made up) b...

I don’t see why not.

Your question relates to the value of one life over another and a God that would value each life equally would judge it on that basis. Kill one to sav...
