Seems like it assumes the thing it's meant to prove. Seems circular to me.
April 05, 2024 at 07:28
Anyway, I consider the thread resolved. Corvus sees that it's a Fallacy, he's agreed with Tim about the Truth table which illustrates that it's a Fall...
April 05, 2024 at 07:01
But people have been telling you that for weeks already...
April 05, 2024 at 05:49
Oh wow, that's amazing that you're saying that. In this post you call it a deduction - you use the word "deduces". https://thephilosophyforum.com/disc...
April 05, 2024 at 05:44
but you haven't described any process that could happen. Like, we know how it could happen with dominoes, because we can concretely set up that proces...
April 04, 2024 at 17:59
yes, but a series of dominos don't implement a process, like the process that can determine if a number is prime, unless they're set up in a specific ...
April 04, 2024 at 17:38
How would that look?
April 04, 2024 at 16:39
Here's my proof: Let G be the claim that Goldbachs Conjecture is true. Furthermore, we add as a premise that G is not proven, and also ~G is not prove...
April 04, 2024 at 16:30
How about this: Goldbachs Conjecture We've got two claims here: GC is true, or GC is false. One of those two claims is an unproven truth. The other on...
April 04, 2024 at 16:17
so you won't be able to prove it if I can't name one?
April 04, 2024 at 16:16
what process do you think shifting sand is implementing that's conscious?
April 04, 2024 at 16:13
Can you prove it? Can you prove there aren't any?
April 04, 2024 at 16:10
oh well then, in principle... MAYBE Though I'm partial to the idea that, rather than dominos being conscious, or a computer being conscious, or a brai...
April 04, 2024 at 16:09
have fun
April 04, 2024 at 16:05
How in the world do you figure that? You don't think there are any unproven truths?
April 04, 2024 at 16:05
I think if it can't, it's because what other people have mentioned - the dominos fall and don't pick themselves back up. Consciousness might require a...
April 04, 2024 at 16:03
From what truth table? Would you mind posting the table here?
April 04, 2024 at 16:00
So the proof that you posted here then: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/889798 That's not based on logical laws, that's... what, the...
April 04, 2024 at 15:58
Does the article say "proof" and "truth" are synonyms? Because that's what you're saying. I COMPLETELY AGREE that it's not how epistemology works. Tha...
April 04, 2024 at 15:53
for example?
April 04, 2024 at 15:46
I think classical logic very much has hard coded laws. Basic logic very much has hard coded laws. Logical proofs are a sequence of steps using hard co...
April 04, 2024 at 15:46
No, unfortunately it doesn't. Your use of various terms in this conversation has seemed wildly and irreconcilably inconsitsent to me. First you say, i...
April 04, 2024 at 15:43
This starts out sounding like a 'yes' but ends up sounding like a 'no'. What's an example where (A implies B) is true, but (~B implies ~A) is not true...
April 04, 2024 at 15:40
When did PROOF become the T condition? T stands for "true", not "proof". Do you think JTB stands for "Justified Proved Belief"?
April 04, 2024 at 15:27
But if it's true, then it's justified, right? That's what you were saying yesterday. If you believe something that's true, then it's justified. — flan...
April 04, 2024 at 15:26
So do you agree that, if one accepts a statement (A -> B), then according to classical logic one must always accept the contraposition, (~B -> ~A)?
April 04, 2024 at 15:24
You said it yourself here. If it's true, then I'm justified.
April 04, 2024 at 15:22
But that's not what you said before. You said before that a belief is justified if it's true. If I believe it, and it's true, then it's justified, reg...
April 04, 2024 at 15:21
If it's raining, then the ground is wet. The ground is not wet, so it's not raining. This doesn't seem like it depends on anything to me - if the firs...
April 04, 2024 at 15:03
Do you have an example for this? An example where a implies b, but it's not true that not b implies not a.
April 04, 2024 at 14:51
yeah, physicists can believe in just about anything - the only thing they're almost guaranteed to believe in is the efficacy of learning about the wor...
April 04, 2024 at 13:08
if it depends, I would love to see some examples. I would love to see an example from you where the answer is "yes" and an example from you where the ...
April 04, 2024 at 12:45
Awesome, and this one? And is the same thing true about the contrapositive? For every (a implies b) it's always true that (not b implies not a), corre...
April 04, 2024 at 12:43
I need clear, unambiguous answers. Preferably Yes or No. One thing at a time So do you think any time you have (a implies b) , it's always true that (...
April 04, 2024 at 12:40
I think I misread this before. You're saying you "don't have to apply it", but you always can right? You CAN always apply it, because it's always true...
April 04, 2024 at 12:17
. Ignore this, see next post
April 04, 2024 at 12:11
there's more than one flavour of random. That's why I'm comparing it to a seeded random generator, and bringing up chaos - chaotic deterministic syste...
April 04, 2024 at 12:09
What's the assumption? Specifically.
April 04, 2024 at 12:05
Does (a implies b) always lead to (not a implies not b), or only sometimes?
April 04, 2024 at 12:01
wait you edited this response, we have to go back. We need clarity on this conversation or nothing will work. It either always applies, or it doesn't ...
April 04, 2024 at 12:01
do you have examples where it doesn't apply? Examples of a implies b where is not true that not b implies not a
April 04, 2024 at 11:57
Do you also agree with the contrapositive rule, which states that if (a implies b), then (not b implies not a)?
April 04, 2024 at 11:56
That sounds like you're confirming that yes, it's always applicable any time you have (a implies b), am I interpreting that correctly?
April 04, 2024 at 11:54
Would you mind explicitly stating if every (a implies b) also leads to (not a implies not b), or can you only do that for specific (a implies b) state...
April 04, 2024 at 11:50
if you agree with corvus, I wouldn't mind talking to you about why. If you disagree, it would be appreciated if you expressed briefly why but, ideally...
April 04, 2024 at 11:35
they're random in one sense and not in another. They're not RANDOM random, but they're distributed as if they were random and unpredictable ahead of t...
April 04, 2024 at 10:34
Equally rigourously if you drop the T though. The rigor is all in the J - the J is where all our confidence in the T comes from. If it's rigor we're l...

"Materialism" means two different things. A quick google gives me this: 1. a tendency to consider material possessions and physical comfort as more im...
April 04, 2024 at 07:15
Yeah, that's kinda what I mean by usable. You can find the information in there, *if you already know exactly what the information you're looking for ...
April 04, 2024 at 05:33
I am not sure a random number contains "information" necessarily just because some of its random sequence matches something else. Information is only ...
