Right right, yes you've adequately cleared up the confusion there. If your premises are true, you can only have a valid argument be sound, that's righ...

As one, I can say confidently this is not the case. It is a clear entailment of AN thinking that the eventual non-existence of humans is preferable an...

Sorry *Trump voters

This wont have much effect on voters if the see the former issue in stark lighting. Trump has always been hypocritical - including calling Republicans...

Agree - even supporters might think.. hmm, not under my banner.

This shouldn't be on anyone's list of anything worth promoting.

Yes, that's entirely fair.

Agreed. ANs do believe in the extinction of society being the ethically correct outcome of hte near-middle future. But, not by genocide. Not it's bett...

It seems you're claiming that you cannot have a valid argument without true premises. That's is untrue. If i've got that wrong, apologies. I have expl...

The former seems certain, but I am unsure it will turn out we disagree about hte latter. The passing of time is absolute. There can be no disagreement...

And we couldn't know if they were :up:

You have entirely missed that your arguments support action, while what I'm outlining supports the position. I do not feel you post does what you've d...

I will always assume good faith, until shown otherwise. Unfortunately, across threads as long as these two have been (Trump/Election threads) It's har...

False. Your premises can be entirely false - as long as, in the world in which they are true, the conclusion is supported, the argument is valid but u...

I have seen discussions where I've leant toward this not being the case. I.e not being sufficient to support the position entirely. The non-identity p...

to be brief: no. What I said was correct. Soundness is a relationship between true premises and a valid conclusion. A true premise with a false conclu...

That's soundness. Validity is mere formal agreement between premises and conclusion. If your premises are empirically wrong, the argument is unsound, ...

:halo:

Banno is about to have a field day.

It's a bit of both. Your wording clearly leaves me open to give the response I did, but subsequently I definitely veered away from what you were getti...

Have you been paying attention to his campaign (previously), his continually declining abilities and acknowledgement of such all and sundry? His inabi...

The Jojo Siwa of TPF.

((A) does not imply B) is quite different to (A implies (not B)) I would think.

Something like this. We see ourselves. Self-interest is somehow shared interest in these cases.. or something approximating that squared circle of car...

Couldn't have invented a better response to illustrate my point. Governing is conducting policy and organisational aspects of policy and action of a g...

I think the problem being outlined is that you cannot take for granted those premises if your theory is demolishing access to anything which could con...

By, i would imagine, being much more than shallow, biased, media-driven versions of his personality and life presented to you. The same reason I have ...

Oooh, yeah, good distinction. I think "love" indicates soething to do with an actor, not an object. I don't think one can love something which does no...

"direction of best fit" as it goes... More than likely, something like this.

I think forgiveness has far more to do with dealing with your reaction to an event, than it has to do with your thoughts on the actor. When forgiving ...

We agree! LOL. (Y)

If this is your feeling, that also explains a lot and I apologise if that's the vibe that's coming through. As noted elsewhere in my response, I have ...

You both sound as if it's time to cool your boots, take a couple of days away from each other and come back without the venom present here...

What are you taking this to actually mean to the discussion? Not at all an attack - i just see the pretty stark practical difference between arguing f...

Validity doesn't have much of a relationship with truth.

Hey mate. Just want to note whether or not you're using religious reasoning to support your positions here? This seems a bti of a curve ball otherwise...

I understand you to be quite upset at some opinions of mine. I can't think you're doing ought but trolling, If you aren't - i'll just leave you to it....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIU8TBJ7SYU And his behaviour/actions here prove there is none :lol:

Awesome isn't he? Deep Down seems to be the most popular cut from that project. No complaints haha. Glad you've enjoyed!! His album Corpse Flower done...

It will become clear why I think two things here: 1. This is unanswerable, as between the two of us (my answer is "no" prima facie, though); and 2. Yo...

I think you're somewhat glossing over the difference. The thread of enforcement creates a materially different scenario. You can - literally - have yo...

What's 'the average American' in a two-party system? The undecide centrist?

This isn't a restriction. I'm with Dan on this. A restriction would mean you are unable to do the thing. In this case, you're just misguided. Any inst...

Haha, I see what you did there ;) More-or-less agree. The, quite strictly, do not. I note your ability to predict him, and nought else :) That's fair.

I see no evidence of wanting a dictator, as opposed to being stupid. Perhaps - but his running mate is also an idiot, who voters aren't happy with. In...

(Y) Well, of course he would. And most people do like strong, decisive language. It's hard to take seriously hte kind of mealy-mouthed horseshit most ...

Sometimes, they don't. Or, they are wrong.

Bang on, imo

Yep, agree there. It's not much to do with Trump. He's running with it because it'll work for him. Haha, case in bloody point mate. This is a ridiculo...

I've been a massive Mike Patton kick recently, topping the list on Spotify for his solo work, Fantomas and nearing the top for Faith No More, Bungle, ...
