No, it's not. For example, Plato's belief that the Forms exist was not a normative judgment.

Yes. I await the day when "natural language philosophers" finally begin to understand natural language. :smile:

So every substantial change is a contradiction, on that reading? Interesting. :up: Okay, but I'm asking "why?" Why is liberalism thought to be incompa...

Presumably every member with a single character followed by a space does not "come up" in the search box. You can still search for them by typing thei...

10/7/2023 via PM :wink: You can search J's posts just like anyone else's. But you cannot search for his name via textual string, either on the server ...

Perhaps he thinks that "political philosophy" is an oxymoron.

You were asking two different questions: 1. So would you agree with me that there is no need for the members of the rational community to understand r...

I've worked through this before in the thread, but we can do it again: "Either all narratives are , or they aren't." (original quote) ? "Either all na...

The issue from that other thread is catalogued and addressed more completely in . An excerpt: Chakravartty is claiming that we should "encourage other...

The third party helped the person see the fact that the video was a deepfake, and the whole scenario I set up was premised on this shared knowledge of...

Obviously we disagree on most all of this. If you want to give an argument for your positions, feel free. I agree with this part of your post. :up: Re...

I've explained what you're unable to see. There was nothing in my explanation about "nostalgia for an age that didn't exist." There is a difference be...

Yes, I think that's a good way of putting it. You wanted real-world application, so let's come back to the thread now, using your tool of the LEM. Thi...

Right, good. Are you truly unable to see Haidt's point? Have you ever watched children at recess, playing a game and disputing the rules? Minecraft is...

If you think that's a cop-out then we are on the same page. I am saying that there are some cases where it is impossible to say, "I am neither black n...

Right, and that is what I was talking about in the quote. I think you actually mean "innocuously" rather than "reasonably." That post I quoted is lite...

Thanks. :up: We're a little bit off topic, but this is obviously related to the Adorno thread. I am wondering what the contradiction here is said to b...

Oh no, not at all. That strikes me as saying, "Someone does not subscribe to breathing, therefore they do not breathe." To be honest, I was just tryin...

Maybe check out the video and try to understand what is being said.

The idea is not that guessing is a feature, but rather that a game which involves rule-negotiation is superior to a game which does not. Hence Haidt's...

Coward. :lol:

Then drink if you dare! And we will see who's who! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMz7JBRbmNo

Even in my original scenario the knowledge that the video is a deepfake is shared by both parties. That was the whole premise of the multiple-question...

That's understandable. But I've not used the word "obligation." That's your word. I'm happy to stick with the words I've used, such as "non-hypothetic...

So an OP which says, "I might also invite PM contributions," is saying, "I might invite some of you to contribute to our personal relationship"? That ...

Okay, but what is the person who sends the PM contributing to? What does it mean to "Invite PM contributions"? Not 'perhaps', but 'certainly'. No? Alt...

Well let's clarify the substance of the topic. :razz: I have been explicitly talking about what is needed in order to agree to disagree. Do you want t...

- Just tell him that one of those damn kids knocked out your mailbox and the mailman was unable to deliver due to the damage. I'm guessing that will s...

- Clicking on the message should take you to the conversation...? The links should be in your inbox.

I think it's a lot more complicated than that. Consider this from Banno's most recent thread, which I also responded to there: Banno is inviting priva...

To believe that someone ought to do something is not the same as believing that someone has an obligation to do something. This equivocation between "...

I said "you," not "I." I am thinking of non-hypothetical ought-judgments with respect to others. So if you are tutoring struggling first graders, and ...

The thing is, my point holds in an even broader sense than you are interpreting it. As long as one separates the reasoning process from the conclusion...

This is a more promising thread. I appreciate the paper to ground the discussion. :up: So long as you remember that PMs do not contribute to public th...

- Thanks for the information. This sub-topic is also related to Mikie's thread/request, and also my <post> which is admittedly wacky and entirely unre...

When I say, "each party must understand at least in part the reasons which prevent the other from agreeing," I am not saying that they are able to mou...

Yes. I wrote an OP where I wanted to work through a paper, chapter by chapter. I made it abundantly clear. This is what happened: @"Banno", who did hi...

I think you're missing what is plain to see: Banno comments (brags), quite often, about how he has to take things to PM since the forum is too dumb. W...

I'm saying that no one is both a Christian and an atheist, straddling that line neutrally. A Christian can become an atheist, but if they do so then t...

I disagree on both scores. I have a whole thread disagreeing with the first claim. I would argue against the second claim on similar grounds insofar a...

- I'm afraid I'm doing to have to respectfully disagree. :razz:

(@"Count Timothy von Icarus") I ran across an idea that I found quite fascinating, both with respect to this thread and with respect to the Wittgenste...

- That is how I see the matter as well. What we could say is that if Trump had dyed his hair unbeknownst to the two persons having the dialogue, then ...

Here is my argument: You responded by saying, "Yes. I have explained this explicitly above, to the degree that this feels like outright trolling..." B...

Yep. :up: I would argue that the Orthodox use of "passions" is at least somewhat different than Plato or Aristotle or colloquial usage. I would say th...

- Okay. I just wanted to point back to that, since @"Srap Tasmaner" already did all my work for me, and I thought you might have read it. - Coming bac...

Yes, that seems correct. I added this in an edit: I think what is happening is that you have two incommensurable ways of viewing something, and it is ...

I think you're probably right. But some forum software does, so it is possible.

Good post. :up: I think what you say about Wittgenstenians is natural to that worldview, which is more enclosed. But it's also worth noting that @"Ban...

Just so you know, there was a new rule added which says, "AI LLMs are not to be used to write posts either in full or in part." In any case, I don't r...
