Good post Amadeus. I hope I don't derail the thread, but I don't follow the reasoning of your last sentence. Cannot one have objective knowledge apart...

Sure it does. If 1600 are charged with crimes then the insurrection narrative is plausible. If 95% of those charges are bogus then the insurrection na...

Understood! Yes, and I didn't mean to imply that nothing more than Scientism is at stake. Hopefully the remainder of my post corrected that possible r...

- If you're only concerned with the attack on the police line, then yes. Did you find nothing at all disconcerting about Gold's testimony? The cashout...

- No, the article does not give a geographical timetable of events in that manner.

As a member of TPF I am already familiar with it. :wink:

According to Hochschild police voluntarily let in a number of people on the east side. Are you contradicting him? I was not there, so I don't know for...

- Would you like to say that to me again in the parking lot?

- I refuse, and whoever created it is a liar, for vancho cakes are unmakeable.

It supports the thesis of Hochschild's article that my post referenced: (I.e. there was a lot of political maneuvering involved in the portrayals, eve...

So are you claiming that theoretical explanation is not within the purview of science? I think there is all manner of bleed between the two spheres.

Okay, well thanks for that. Not sure what you're talking about. Are you claiming that her prepared speech was inciting? Your video was completely non ...

- I would suggest you ask yourself the question, "Is she lying? Or is my interpretation missing something? Is there a more plausible conclusion to dra...

I offered you a direct interview of eyewitness testimony so you would have an opportunity to cease your post hoc rationalization with your favorite id...

- You have to listen to someone and correctly interpret them if you are to call them a liar with any degree of seriousness. Your inability to fairly i...

- I think you have to listen to someone before you call them a liar, just as you have to read philosophy before you draw conclusions about it.

Watch the video if you want to have a discussion of the video. I think this is a good opportunity for you to do some critical thinking rather than jus...

- Did you watch the video I posted? I don't know how to discuss the testimony found in a video with folks who haven't watched the video. I don't find ...

So you didn't finish watching the video. It seems like watching it might have threatened your preconceived notions, so you decided not to.

And I gave you two examples: the novelty of parasitic reference in modern logic and the yielding of Schopenhauer's dynamism to Wittgenstein's mirror. ...

Well that must be it. She had an experience of violent rioting but said she had a peaceful experience because she's just a big old liar. That was easy...

This sort of ad hominem is something I don't often see from you, but I suppose we're in a political thread.

I would suggest listening further. Do you think she was lying? Why do you think she said it was peaceful?

The way that the modern period in its progression has encountered the perennial problem of universals seems to be as follows: 1. If knowledge is objec...

So in the first place it's a straightforward biconditional, and should be parsed as such: "The term is meaningful if and only if arguments over the me...

I find 's point more persuasive than your assertion. I find 's post more persuasive than your assertion.

- More evidence continues to emerge from eyewitnesses about the actual events and procedures surrounding January 6. More and more it looks like Hochsc...

I think this is a helpful and concise outline of your project, Wayfarer. :up: In general, though, I am always left with the question of what exactly y...

I like the idea of a to this issue, but one-off requests that lack overall consistency with the ethos of the forum, and which create lots of extra wor...

This is the right question. :up: Positions on climate change are ideological. The TPF taboos are also ideological, but whereas a taboo against Holocau...

- Okay. I shouldn't have assumed.

So do you agree with my claim that the term is meaningful if and only if arguments over the meaning of existence are meaningful? I assume we agree tha...

That’s a fairly modest request. :sweat: In general I think part of the essence of a moderator is the possession of coercive force. Because the average...

<Numbers do not exist in the same way that tables exist> Does that proposition have no truth value? @"noAxioms"? @"J"? In philosophy it is common to c...

- I gave two in the post above with this quote. Click to the thread and links will be included: David Oderberg also writes a fair bit on this topic, e...

- This thread is obviously an extension of your anti-Medieval tack from my thread on St. Anselm's Proof. An anti-Medieval tack is not problematic in i...

- Yes, that seems fairly accurate to me. :up: The takeaway is that parasitic reference is possible, that it is based on an intentional theory of refer...

- I should point out that your OP is very much related to my recent reading group on parasitic reference, which offers one kind of alternative to Mein...

Suppose two scientists are arguing over whether the Northern White Rhino still exists (which is at least an endangered species). The thesis in questio...

- Yes, "derailment for thee but not for me." But it's good to know that no one takes your historical claims seriously. Try reading a book written befo...

- Thanks for your service, fdrake. :up: As you might imagine, I was thinking about the problem of creating a moderation-light forum approach even befo...

But there is no premise that the Big Bang happened, is there? And FTI11's "If so" is very strange, for it means, < If (If the Big Bang happened, then ...

- This is a good post, but it strikes me as too strongly opposing rationality and signs. I think you are right that argument and rationality are overe...

As for me, I don't understand the emphasis on symmetry. ATI4 is the fallacy of denying the antecedent with respect to FTI4. Of course one could set ou...
