Ø implies everything

I realized... but too late. So I tried to save my dignity by playing it off as a spin-off joke; hence my follow-up: Are you spanking yourself?? I gues...

How do you clap with one hand? Are you spanking yourself??

Could you elaborate?

I am not interested here in propositions regarding people with insufficient justification. That's why I said I (from then on) would only use justified...

That is not the typical definition, no. Though, I feel like I have a vague memory of it being used in that way; in any case, I do believe there is a t...

I find value in struggle too. A universal and precise language would not eliminate struggle; it would increase the fruits of it, however. And what is ...

What theory are you using in your reference to the ego and self? Freudian, Jungian, etc.?

I definitely agree with that. I would disagree there. We would still have many fundamental differences left to have fun with, and at the same time, a ...

I would disagree. In order to do classical mathematics or certain types of logic, one has to view it through the lens of Platonic forms (or some other...

The whole point of the argument appealing to the problem of interaction is to argue that interaction between the mental and non-mental is impossible. ...

The argument regarding the problem of interaction concedes the possibility of the non-mental, yes, and thus concedes the possibility of a substance du...

Well, mental and non-mental are not really definable through words (even if they can be sub-divided); they are understood intuitively, via pointing. T...

You are right. I am looking into causality right now in order to construct an informed question regarding what theories regarding its fundamental natu...

I find your qualitative/quantitative typology to be a bit imprecise. For example, idealism is often a priority monism (one basic concretum, which is G...

Okay, I suspected this a while ago, but it was just so foreign to me that I dismissed it. Now that I finally understand your stance, I will hopefully ...

Alright, I will just vacate my entire brain out of here then.

Thank you :) Regarding your question, I think my bio has a nice summary of the center piece of my philosophy: I do not wish to go into too much detail...

If I understand you correctly, you think that naturally, societies undergo a cyclical process of assimilation and individuation. However, modern power...

In some cases, assimilation does require effort yes. However, in those cases, there is sometimes a lot of benefit for certain powerful agents in furth...

I see. That is not what I am talking about however, as that is a phenomenon happening on the level of the individual. Well, to both inform you and gre...

That is completely understandable. Luckily however, I am not pointing a gun at your head.

Yup, that's all of philosophy. Over-thinking long enough until we can say everyone else is under-thinking.

Oh, you haven't seen the half of it. Just wait... @"Adam", could I interest you in an apple?

I wouldn't be so glib. You don't play solitaire with physical cards now, do you? You are playing solitaire with a computer. If we are the "cards", the...

Hah, brilliant. If we're his substitute for solitaire, does that mean our responses are just the random front-sides of back-turned cards in his one-ma...

Hell no. My real work begins now ;)

Sorry for not responding in a while, I've unfortunately been busy with work. So, you are saying that the truth criterion of the JTB definition is eval...

Just got home and began my one week of free days (I work shifts). FRIGG YEAH! Please see to it that you fucking appreciate my use of frigg in lieu of ...

I see :) If I get time, I will ask some questions outside of the Lounge and refer back to this conversation :)

Indirect realism only undermines itself if one applies indirectness to all mental objects, which necessitates that one also maintain all mental object...

Thank you for the welcome :) In response to your self-proclaimed behemoth of a text, I have a list of question of behemoth length. If you do not wish ...

I also find most philosophical texts unappealing in their formulation. However, underneath all of the unnecessary complex verbiage and syntax, there a...

Are you defining religious belief as an act of fear, or describing it as such? Are you defining faith as an act of liberation, or describing it as so?...

I have felt this way many times too, damning myphone for its stupidity, insolence and nihilism. Then I remember how many times I have let my phone die...

Ah, that's happened to me too. I hate when I lose my train of

Ah, I think I understand now. I misunderstood this paragraph, mainly due to the last sentence, as saying the assimilation-individuation framework was ...

Yes, what is the problem? That's what I've been asking you. If I know (have a justified belief) that John knows p, then I know (have a justified belie...

If you want to do analytical philosophy that ventures into the treacherous lands of ontology and epistemology, you ought to sideline the ego as much a...

I just had a thought. Has there ever been an event or category on this site in which people introduce their most holisitic, extensive theories, and th...

Such a dope set. Really atmospheric.

Are you saying faith is not necessarily religious, or that it is necessarily not religious? The way you structure your post makes it hard to know what...

Synchronicity? *rips a bong*

Going from JTB to JB does not make knowledge into belief, by definition of JB as "justified belief", in which a belief is merely an emotional convicti...

I agree. Was this meant as a counter, or just an addition to what I said? If the latter, do you disagree with my view or not?

See my comment in response to Joshs. I would say modern power-structures are no problem for this framing of a society's ideological development. Moder...

As in, individuation is the process by which people choose or create groups? Thus, individuation is not a negation of assimilation, but rather the pro...

I did not mean to imply that anyone is choosing what to agree and disagree with. It is true that the communities we are born in shape our thoughts to ...

Your explanation is no different than mine, except for how you denote the three people involved. H1 = S, H2 = R, H3 = A. Additionally, my explanation ...

Saw this site supports MathJax. \sum \omega \epsilon \epsilon \top

I would say something smells fishy, but something ate all the fish.
