How? You said 1 takes up a full half of the die - 1 is less than 1000, and the other guy has a 50% of rolling a 1. He has a 25% chance of rolling 2, s...

Well your mistake is assuming it drops to 0%. If the die is split the way you said, it absolutely does NOT drop to 0% unless he rolled a 1. You could ...

I guess you mean this post. This doesn't seem like a paradox to me. Where do you think the paradox is?

that extra stipulation makes it a tautology, since a non hallucinatory experience of a distal object by definition requires the existence of a distal ...

What are hallucinations if not an experience of a distal object without a distal object?

It probably doesn't make sense to roll an infinite sided dice in the first place

I see, cool, thanks

so what was 30 years ago?

What, to you, is the difference between those two things?

I don't understand what work the word "directly" is doing in that sentence. Why not just say, "whether or not we perceive the world"? How does adding ...

This occurred to me in the "I think therefore I am" conversation. I think there are atomic ideas for sure.

I just think it's the next natural question lol. You said it was an example of knowledge without belief. There's nothing hostile or insulting or anti ...

It's my understanding that the most basic definition of "belief" is just "something you take to be true." So if the question is, "can you have knowled...

First of all, do you beat your wife questions have the SAME implication if the answer is yes or no, not different implications. "Yes" means I do now a...

I don't understand why you're reacting like that. This kind of question is literally what is meant by the statement "belief is required for knowledge"...

you said you know that a query to you was presented. Do you not believe that a query to you was presented?

You believe you're not imagining or hallucinating the device you're seeing my words on. You believe that arrangement of pixels isn't appearing on your...

Do you have any examples of someone knowing a statement without believing the statement?

do you have any illustrative examples?

But isn't that our eyes? Our eyes receive light physically upside down. Our brains spin it around. If some creature had upside down eyes relative to u...

I think you're wrong to call it a sequel to the hanging paradox. It's conceptually nothing like the hanging paradox, other than the fact that both wor...

Yes, this is entirely correct

I guess what I'm saying is, the difference between depression and meditative emptiness isn't only that one is voluntary and one is forced, there's mor...

seems like you're agreeing with me that they're substantially different enough for a depressed person to want that. Which is good, I think you're righ...

Do you think the kind of emptiness in depression is really that comparable to the emptiness of meditation? They feel like entirely different things to...

I do, lmao. You spent pages telling me I can find that modus ponens allows for denying the Antecedent in any basic logic book - you obviously thought ...

My messages to you said I want you involved in the conversation so that we could get to the bottom of our disagreement. The argument you produced was ...

it's my business that you misquote me dishonestly. Why wouldn't that be my business? I asked for your help to learn about logic? Are you sure that's w...

I appreciate it

How did you hide part of your post behind that lil extendable clickable button? That's cool, I tried to put a <spoiler> on a post before but it didn't...

You clearly do. Look at this post by you. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/894247 You chose to group the quote like that, instead of ...

Right, which makes it once again clear that it's not an inductive argument. How are you going to make an inductive argument with no reference to any e...

Right, we don't agree because you're just choosing not to understand things. You literally used the word 'deduce'. Of course we don't agree if you've ...

That's right, which is why you calling that logic inductive reasoning just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Inductive reasoning looks like thi...

The first is a *piece* of a deductive argument - including one premise, and the conclusion - and the second is a premise that you could use, if you wi...

What do you think the word "deduce" means Corvus? What relationship do you think there might be between "deduce" and "deductive logic"?

I would have preferred you to end this thread more graciously. You could have said "Thank you, I understand now why that argument I made was fallaciou...

You've already agreed it was a fallacious argument. You were in that thread telling me that I should read your posts over and over again until I agree...

That's lovely bro, I'm really glad we could come to agree on this.

I said I wanted to resolve a disagreement we had about basic logic. We resolved it. You and I now both agree on this question of basic logic - denying...

I literally opened the thread with this line: I'm not hiding my intentions. I'm not being secretive. I've been very straight forward and transparent.

got it

Is that a fallacy?

I think I tentatively agree with that, sure.

Yes, that's absolutely the case! And absolutely not how it looked like it was being presented to me. IF we lived in a world where Alice and Bob had th...

Ah my mistake, it was in quotes. But you still ended your post with Do you still believe that? I believe those were your words.

I haven't checked the logic yet, but I'm pretty sure you're exactly incorrect about this. P <-> Q does not mean they're independent, it means they alw...

I do. You can prove just about ANYTHING like that. "Imagine we live in a world where <x is true>. This proves we live in a world where <x is true>." I...

To me, it just seems like they're saying: "Consider these people we've imagined, alice and bob. They have the same physical states, but experience dif...

Unfortunately I'm still not seeing what you apparently intend for me to see. The word "as" doesn't help me understand how the thought experiment isn't...
